Bellefontaine High School graduate Keith Roberts led his Eastern Illinois University men’s track and field team to the Ohio Valley Conference indoor championship Thursday.
As a result, Roberts was named the OVC men’s coach of the year.
It was Eastern Illinois’ first league championship since the 2019-2020 season.
Roberts, a two-time state champion in the hurdles at Bellefontaine, was named Eastern Illinois head coach in August, 2021, after serving as an assistant coach for six years at the University of Pittsburgh.
