I guess they didn't want to run Kellyn again. Shocks finish 5th in the relay.

:cry:

[WuDrWu]

Women's long jump finally up.


La'Taish Brown was 2nd, Brittany Hemphill was tied for 4th and Erika Kovesi was 6th. A good result.

[WuDrWu]

Shocks are 3rd of 8 teams competing. 3 points out of 2nd.

5 events scored for both men and women so far.

Awesome updates! Thanks!

Shocker women are battling tough in this one. SIU looks like the team to beat but WSU and Missouri State are also in the mix. Will be quite a showdown on Sunday. The young Shockers are showing they won't back down. Kellyn Johnson looked amazing in the 5k, look for more of the same Sunday.

Can the ladies hang on? The 3k looks good for us.....Brooke Demo should score in the Vault.....4X400 I have no idea......I don't think we have much in the high jump.

2nd looks very possible at this point!

[WuDrWu]

Remaining events:


3k should be a good event if Kellyn runs.

4X400 not so much but again since everyone will have a team it shouldn't cause a big team shake up.

We should score well in the pole vault as well.

High jump, no score.


2nd really looks doable right now......

[WuDrWu]

Kellyn Johnson DOMINATES the 3k by 20+ seconds. Olivia Martinez misses scoring which may really hurt when we get to the end.



Another Valley Title for Kellyn!

Lady Shocks did hold on for 2nd place. Ladies were slotted at #4 in the pre-meet ratings. Nice job Ladies.

Team Scores (Women): Southern Illinois 154; Wichita State 143; Missouri State 111; Indiana State 88.50; Illinois State 70; UNI 63.50; Drake 30; Bradley 1

Kellyn Johnson was a no-brainer choice for Women's Track Most Oustanding Athlete setting 3 new MVC Indoor Championship Records.

[goshox74]

What a great effort by the lady Shockers to place 2nd and give SIU quite a scare. I was at the meet and will give some perspective if I can. The pre-meet poll had SIU the overwhelming favorite and the Shox 4th. Indiana State had a bad meet and was really out of it on Sunday that left WSU and Missouri State about even on paper chasing SIU. Missouri State had a solid last day but SIU and WSU had great final days. The 11 point difference is really so close in a meet with 17 events and for a team that is so young to go and compete that well is a very, very good sign of things to come for this team.

Kellyn Johnson - one of the best peformanes in MVC history I gotta believe. Made Pasca Cheryiot from MSU look ordinary and I have to think Kellyn had the MVC Cross Country meet in the back of her mind all weekend. Just dominating, is on fire right now and could do some serious damage at the NCAA meet in 2 weeks no matter what event she runs.

Freshmen Brittany Hemphill and Audacia Moore are going to be a big-time duo for years to come in the sprints. Audacia battled back from mono this indoor season to place in the top-5 twice and Hemphill has legs up to her neck!

Lots of new faces scoring big points. I gotta think out door that WSU should be considered a co-favorite, at least early, considering they are going to be strong in the 400 hurdles, discus, 4x100, and steeplechase (Kellyn Johnson).

Great effort Shockers!
