no real surprise here, will be a very close meet. If everyone is healthy for the ISU men and women I like our chances to sweep. We'll see. Would be nice to end the year with 5 MVC titles and one MVC tournament title

Meet starts Friday at ILS.

[ISUCC]

the hammer throws are final. The ISU women didn't score here, not sure we were expected to? The men pick up 2 points for a 7th place finish.

David Timlin wins heat 2 of the men's 1500 for ISU, still awaiting women's 1500 trial results

Taylor Austin is the only ISU girl to make the finals in the women's 1500

 

[ISUCC]

Wise, Obasih, and Marrero qualify for the women's 200 finals.

 

[ISUCC]

men's and women's 10k's have been moved to 9:30pm and will be run at Illinois Wesleyan because the ILS track does not have lights

 

[ISUCC]

updating results, for the men, David Timlin makes the finals of the men's 1500, he was our only entrant. In the men's 200 we had 4 entrants and none advanced to the final, was hoping we'd get 1 in there, so that's not good.

In the women's 1500 we had 2 make the finals. Taylor Austin and Danielle Muse advanced. Jessi Conley, who was expected to make the final, did not advance.

And in the women's 200 we had 3 make the finals, so that's great news.

The Javelin has been suspended due to lightning, the 10,000 meter runs are slated to go off at 9:30 at Illinois Wesleyan, weather pending.

 

[ISUCC]

Women's javelin is now complete and ISU's Whitney Walker placed 2nd, but Wichita State placed 5 in the top 8, so they scored big points in this event

 

[ISUCC]

Senior Nicole Lucas comes up BIG in the women's 10k, getting 2nd place in 35:00.00, a new ISU school record and that gets her back inside the top 48 for the NCAA East Regional meet!

 

[ISUCC]

Once again John Mascari wins the 10k in 29:39.21, he was our only scorer. Not sure what happened to Tristan Selby, he was expected to score but didn't start the race, so that will cost us some points in the battle for the team title on the men's side.

Levi Taylor was 14th and out of the scoring
