Missouri’s track & field team completed their final day at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., on a high, as multiple athletes placed in the top-10 overall of their set races. The second day of events took place on Saturday, April 4, with the Tigers proving their momentum was no fluke.

Final Note on the Meet
Overall during the meet, the Tigers claimed nine personal bests, three top-10 program marks and one meet record. The first day of the meet involved much more action, but today’s events solidified the team’s capabilities against the toughest teams in the NCAA.
What’s to Come for the Tigers
Following the successes from this meet, the Tigers will head over to Lincoln, NE, where they will compete during the Big Red Classic, which will occur from Thursday, April 16, through Saturday, April 18th.
The meet will take place at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which opened in March of 1976 and had a huge $20 million renovation during the 2013 season. The Tigers will have to roar louder than ever as they face some of the top teams in the nation.
