just to give everyone an idea of how good the MVC is as a track conference, here are the entry totals per conference going into the regional meets later this week. The MVC has 60 athletes participating in the two regional meets. Indiana State is the only MVC team in the East Regional, everyone else is in the West.

As expected, the Power 5 conferences dominate the conference entries, all with well over 130 athletes per conference. After that the next highest conference is C-USA with 69 entrants into the regional meets. MWC has 67, MAC has 64, Ivy has 62, Sun Belt has 61, and then the MVC with 60. The AAC is next with 55, then a drop off to the lesser conferences.

the SEC, to nobody's surprise, leads (by a WIDE margin) with 232 entrants into the regional meets.

The meets start on Thursday. It looks like it will be HOT in Jacksonville for the East Regional meet. Sure wish they'd move it to a more northern climate where it might be a little cooler.

meet starts this afternoon, looks like it'll be pretty warm, ok for sprints, bad for the distance races.

No video coverage that I can find
 
Whitney Walker was in the women's shot put this afternoon and threw just over 47 feet and will finish near the bottom.

Women's pole vault is warming up, Kimyanna Rudolph will be participating

Alethia Marrero set the new ISU 800 meter school record and advanced to the next round, running 2:05.52!

our 2 long jumpers, Schreiber and Mikell were 29th and 48th, so will not advance.

Nicole Lucas ends her ISU career by placing 33rd in the women's 10,000 on a very hot night, running 35:49, she ends her ISU career with several school records!

very disappointing run for Mascari as he places 23rd and does not make the NCAA meet. Too hot down in Florida, again, this meet needs to be in a more northern location to get away from the heat.

Carmelia Stewart runs 13.51 in heat one of the 100 hurdles, probably won't advance, she winds up being 25th place, first one to not advance, just like Chidera Obasih in the women's 100 last night.

Connor Curley misses all 3 attempts at the opening height in the men's pole vault, so he's out.
