found this on the UNI site, not sure why ISU can't update the results.....

After the second day of competition, the UNI Panther men sit in fourth place with 54 points after eight events. Southern Illinois and Indiana State sit tied for first in the men’s race with 81 points. On the women’s side, the UNI Panthers also sit in fourth place, tallying 41 ½ points after eight events scored. Wichita State leads the way for the women with 81 ½ points.

Not sure yet where the ISU women sit after day 2.

Thanks for posting updates all day!

Conditions:
Rain early in the day (before noon)
Very windy the rest of the day

ISU:
The mens team had a great day on the track and in the field events. The high jump was a really big boost for the team (1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th) Major Clay can flat out jump out of the gym! Anthony B. has had a huge meet to this point, I have been running with the kid since middle school but he is a freak! He has one more big day ahead of him tomorrow! Kyle Walsh came up huge in the steeple with a 2nd place regional qual time.

Southern Illinois also had a very big day. I guess you could say UNI struggled today, for them. But their best day will be tomorrow. It is going to take a giant effort for the Sycamores to pull of the mild upset. But we have surly set ourselves up to do so! Thanks for all the support! GO State!
