EATON — Indiana University East will serve as the host institution for the 2019 River States Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

The meet will take place April 25 and 26 at the Eaton High School Athletic & Wellness Stadium in Eaton.

“I’m super excited for it,” says IU East senior All-American hurdler Seth Reynolds, a 2015 Eaton High School graduate. “The facility is super nice. It’s a college facility that happens to be at my high school. I look forward to having a lot of support, and I know our Red Wolf team will have a lot of support from people around the community. It will be really exciting to compete there, and I think we’ll have our biggest crowd to come and watch one of our meets.”

We hope it’ll be a great thing for both Eaton, the RSC athletes and our community. We look forward to the opportunity to expose local athletes and the community to collegiate-level track and field competition.”
