Mizzou has 4 athletes competing at the Track & Field Championships at the University of Oregon this week. Aaron Dixon and Blake Irwin race the 800 at 6:30 pm CST today. Nick Adcock and Lars Rise will compete in the decathlon starting tomorrow. Adcock and Rise have a great shot at All-American honors as they are seeded 2nd and 3rd entering the meet. Best of luck to the Tigers!

Rock M Nation Big 12 Cross Country Championships in Columbia

I know there aren't too many running fans out there, but Mizzou will be hosting the Big 12 Cross Country Championships tomorrow at A. L. Gustin Golf Course.  Men run at 10 am, women at 11 am.

Mizzou's teams will be in the middle of the pack, the women should finish slightly higher than the men thanks to a nice freshman class.  The #2 Oklahoma State Cowboys and #5 Colorado Buffaloes are the favorite on the men's side.  For the women, #2 Colorado is head and shoulders above the rest of the field.  

If you need one reason to care or even hear about this race: Jenny Barringer of Colorado.  She's an Olympian and American record holder in the steeplechase, the collegiate record holder in the 1500, 3000, and 5000, 7 Time All-American and faster than about half of the Mizzou men's team.  She'll probably only run for the win tomorrow, but she's one of the greatest American runners ever, and she hasn't even gone pro yet.
