Moore
Moore competed at the University of Kentucky Invitational last Saturday in Lexington, Ky., winning the 400 meters with a time of 52.85. That is currently the fastest time in the United States and the third fastest in the world.

Hutson
Hutson competed at the Air Force All-Comers Meet held last Friday at the U.S. Air Force Academy, winning the pole vault competition by clearing 14’-5.25” (4.40 meters) which is currently the best indoor vault in the United States and ties her for eighth best in the world

[XTreeXC]

I noticed in the Air Force meet results that Kylie was listed as unattached. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she sigh with Nike?

Also, do Erica and Kylie still train at ISU?

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Neither is training at ISU - maybe one of our resident coaches can add some insight?

Hutson is competing for Nike, I didn't see the results but I am sure that was a college meet and usually when "pros" enter in a college meet they just list them as unattached. But my point of not seeing the results, did they list any other athletes as "Nike"?

Erica Moore is currently in grad school at the University of Tennessee. She is coached by JJ Clark. The group that she is currently training with has two Olympians, 3x NCAA Champ, and several other pro's. She will be running the 800 in a few weeks.

Kylie Hutson trained here at ISU with me until the first of the year. She is currently in Phoenix, AZ training with my good friend Greg Hull who has coached two Olympic champions and the former American record holder in the women’s pole vault. She will be jumping this weekend at the University of New Mexico. She has signed with NIKE.

Lauren Martin is currently training three days a week here at ISU and will continue to triple jump this year. She opens her indoor season this weekend at Rose-Hulman in a low key competition.

Track and Field News ranked all there athletes in the top 15 in the USA for 2010.

Kylie Hutson (Pole Vault) - 6th
Lauren Martin (Triple Jump) - 9th
Erica Moore (400 Hurdles) - 11th

Coach Martin: Thanks for the info; much appreciated.

did they list any other athletes as "Nike"?

I didn't notice any affiliations listed beyond colleges, so I'm sure you're right about why she'd show up as unattached.

[ISUCC]

great to see they're all doing well after college! Great careers ahead for these athletes!

Way to go Kylie! These stellar performances from ISU grads will certainly help recruiting for the Sycamores.
