Track teams host MVC vs OVC challenge meet Friday/Saturday

[ISUCC]

ISU hosts the first of two straight home meets this weekend as it welcomes 4 other teams to the Gibson Complex for the Gibson Invitational

The meet this weekend is a competition among MVC and OVC teams, although there are only 2 OVC teams coming, SEMO
and SIU-E

The MVC teams are Indiana State, Illinois State, and Southern Illinois.

The Hammer throws and Javelin throws will be Friday, the rest of the meet will take place Saturday

If you're in town take in the meet, along with the home baseball series, you can walk between the 2 events.

day 1 has concluded at the meet, not too many highlights for ISU, Cassandra Roper threw a season best in the women's Hammer Throw 176-01, that's 4th best in the MVC I believe (at this point)

We're somewhat weak yet in the weight events and Javelin event.

Meet resumes tomorrow at noon
