For them, it's about mind and body
A six-mile run around campus is nothing more than an invigorating stroll through the park for the members of the IU men's cross country team.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Before the season started, IU coach Mike Freitag called senior Julian Dieterle "the heart and soul of our team." But for the past two games, Dieterle has been on the sidelines wearing a yellow penny over his IU jersey.
A first win is always sweet. Freshman Jordan Kyle of the IU men's cross country team brought the Hoosiers just that, recording his first ever first-place finish with a time of 24:45 at the George Mason Invitational Saturday in Manassas, Va. It was also a career best for the freshman on an 8K course.
One offensive touchdown in 120 minutes, two losses. In Saturday's Big Ten opener against Wisconsin, the IU football team struggled to score again, waiting until late in the fourth quarter to score its first offensive touchdown in two weeks.
Shocked. That was the word IU coach Terry Hoeppner used to describe Saturday's 52-17 loss to the Wisconsin Badgers.
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- During Sunday's Big Ten match, Michigan State celebrated 50 years of Spartan soccer. But afterwards, it was the Hoosiers -- not the Spartans -- who went out for ice cream.
With the way September was going, the Hoosiers might not have wanted to see it come to an end. But so far, October isn't looking too bad for them either. The IU women's soccer team defeated Michigan State 1-0 Friday night in East Lansing, Mich., to close out the first undefeated September in the program's history. IU followed that up with a 2-1 win Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich., against Michigan to extend the team's unbeaten streak to 10 games.
With a disappointing non-conference schedule behind them, the IU football team kicked off the Big Ten season Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers were unable to snap a two-game losing streak, falling to Wisconsin 52-17.
From personal success to team success, the Hoosiers have enjoyed a great campaign so far this season.
The IU women's volleyball team hosts "Jam the Gym" at 7 p.m. Saturday against No. 13 Ohio State and will try to break its home attendance record at University Gym.
While a lot of words describe the performance of the IU men's soccer team, 'consistent' is not among them.
This weekend's meet will be the first real test for the No. 26 IU women's cross country team this year. The Hoosiers will compete at the Bill Dellinger Invitational at the University of Oregon Friday against some of the top teams in the nation.
After one exhibition and one meet in which not all top runners competed, the IU men's cross country team pumps itself up for its first full-fledged race of the season. Saturday the Hoosiers visit Manassas, Va., for the George Mason Invitational, where the first meet to showcase the team's top seven runners will take place.
The RS on the roster stands for redshirt, a concept that can be confusing for some sports fans. The roster says the student athlete is a freshman, though the player has actually been at IU for two years.
After winning their last nine games, the Hoosiers are one victory away from tying their all-time record for consecutive games won.
Go eight games without a loss, and people start to notice. Riding the second-longest unbeaten streak in program history, the IU women's soccer team is starting to gain national attention. The Hoosiers (5-2-3, 2-0-0 Big Ten) have gone 5-0-3 in their last eight games, including two wins in their first Big Ten games against Ohio State and Minnesota. Because of their streak, the Hoosiers recieved votes for the first time this season in this week's NSCAA/Adidas national rankings.
When the term "hockey" comes to mind, it usually conjures up images of fast-paced play on the ice. But for the IU field hockey club, the action is all on the grass. Club president Audrey Matthias said the co-ed club offers a fun, relaxed environment for those interested in playing field hockey.
