Jul. 3—Angie Martin received a five-year contract extension from Indiana State on Friday.

The program director and head coach of the cross country/track and field programs is now signed through the 2026-27 season, Director of Athletics Sherard Clinkscales announced.

"Angie Martin has returned the program to its championship ways, culminating with three Missouri Valley Conference titles this year," Clinkscales said. "She has built a culture that our student-athletes and coaches have embraced, and helped lead this program back to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference. I look forward to her continued leadership of our track & field and cross country programs."

Martin has been a staple in the Indiana State programs, first as a student-athlete and now as a coach. She just completed her sixth season as program director and head coach and has also spent time as women's track & field head coach (2011-16) and as an assistant coach (2003-10) following a standout career at Indiana State from 1997-2001.

The 2021-22 season produced the Sycamores' best results since Martin took charge of both programs. She was named the 2022 MVC Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year, the 2022 MVC Men's Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the Year and the 2022 USTFCCCA Great Lakes Region Women's Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year after leading the Sycamores back to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference during the 2021-22 season. Indiana State swept the indoor championships for the first time since 2015 and won the men's outdoor title for the first time since 2014.

"I am happy and excited to be able to continue to lead our Sycamore track and field and cross country programs," Martin said. "Indiana State is near and dear to me, my husband and my family. I am surrounded by a great coaching staff that wants to push the boundaries of success. I am thankful for the opportunity given to me by Sherard Clinkscales, Angie Lansing and President Curtis."
