I did some research on the MVC site and for those who may not realize it, the MVC is a pretty dam* good track conference. The MVC men and women have produced at least one NCAA individual champion in 8 of the past 10 NCAA meets (indoor/outdoor) (2007-2011)

Not many conferences can say that.

day 4 results

Wichita State's Josh Crawford finished 20th in the triple jump

Southern Illinois' Jenva McCall was 7th in the shot put, Southern Illinois' Gwen Berry was 12th in the shot put, and Indiana State's Felisha Johnson was 18th in the shot put.

that wraps up competition for the MVC at this years' meet. Things are looking up and I expect the MVC will do even better in 2011-2012. There were 23 athletes from MVC schools who competed in this years' outdoor meet.
