At the season opening meet at Indiana State, EIU posted six first place finishes sweeping both the men's and women's 4x400 meter relays.  Senior Makenna Wilson won the women's shot put while Akiya Kollore won the 60m women's hurdles for the first, first-place finish of the year for EIU.  On the men's side Riley Baker won the 400 meter run setting the facility record while Tadiwa Mhonde won the 200 meter run. 
 
Last weekend at the Grand Valley Big Meet, EIU added four first place finishes to its season haul with freshman Ramsey Hunt winning both the triple jump and long jump for the Panther men.  Adam Swanson won the mile posting the sixth best time in school history in the event while Mackenzie Aldridge won the women's 3,000 meter run.   Competing at the Iowa State meet, Wilson placed fourth in the shot put improving her own school record in the event.
