MVC men at track olympic trials

Indiana State hurdler Adarius Washington is the first person to not make the semi finals in the men's hurdles, he missed out by less than .02 seconds, so his career at Indiana State comes to a close.

Kyle Landon (SIU) advanced to Sunday's finals in the men's high jump, he cleared his opening height before the downpour while others had to try to clear in a pouring rain.

Also, former UNI runner Dorian Ulrey did not advance to the finals in the 1500 so his meet is done.

wow, we NEARLY had a 2nd SIU olympian, but Kyle Landon could not clear 7-06, the olympic A standard to make the US team. He cleared 7-05 (a new PR), but needed that 7-06 to make the US team, still a great meet for Kyle!

Kyle got 2nd place.
