.Prayers up to Boateng for a speedy recovery, and now Mizzou will have to look for more depth options as they try to sneak in the NCAA Tournament. Up next is Saturday at South Carolina.

A big-time partnership Mizzou Athletics.
On paper, Mizzou added plenty of talent. In fact, if you balance the high school recruiting ratings of the incoming players with the ratings of the outgoing players, Drinkwitz and company actually saw a net improvement in talent.
Here’s hoping the talent plays out in hopes for a better team next season.
With the distance squad coming off of a strong performance last weekend, the Missouri Invitational sets up as another opportunity for that group to continue building momentum.

A track and field update from Sophie — with the distance team having high hopes for the upcoming Missouri Invitational.
