Outdoor Track and Field season begins today. The Illini are in Miami. And Petros just keeps rolling out new world class talent. Making their first appearance in an Illini uniform are freshman javelin thrower Eleftherios Kontonikola, who committed to the Illini men's team last season but missed the whole year due to injury. He's one of the top 100 javelin throwers in THE WORLD. Another new outdoor athlete for the Illini women's squad is junior hammer thrower Phethisang Makhethe. She spent the last two seasons at New Mexico State and is set to make her Illini debut this weekend in the hammer throw competition.
