Thursday: End of individual sports

Many of our teams finished up competition play today and just have their awards to give tomorrow.
Many of our MO Magic fans came out to support. The athletes are not looking forward to being
done with competition, thats for sure.
Athletics -
The athletes started their finals today. It was a good day for Team Missouri in medals. The venue
was determined to get all the events squeezed in today so it made for a long day for the athletes
outside. They were troopers through it all.
Coach Julia Busken said that Danny Topete jumped the farthest he ever had today in the running
long jump with a 4.36. The athletes actually thought he was hurt after his second jump, but he was
only praying.
Results:
Danny Topete: Gold in the running long jump, gold in mini javelin
Allen Tobin: 4th in the running long jump, 5th in 100m run, 4th in 200m run

The team had another successful day at the pool. They even got to meet Olympic Gold medalist,
Dara Torres and get their picture taken with her. Several of the swimmers received a medal or
ribbon today. Coach Amy Wurst said Nathan Baldwin's 50 freestyle race was so close that when the
scores came up, it looked like he had gotten third but when he got up on the award stands, he had
actually out touched the other guy and got a silver.
Results:
Nathan Baldwin: Silver in the 50 freestyle
Jennifer Neihouse: 8th in the 50 freestyle

Bowling-
Teams played today to finish up their last day of
competition. They had some very tough
competition today. They receive their awards
tomorrow, so we have to wait until then to see how
everyone finished up.

Flag Football-
Unfortunately the team lost their game this
morning. The athletes improved on their gameplay
but they just couldn't get the win. They finished the day with awards and received a 5th place
ribbon. Flag football was sitting under the athlete lounge tent today to take a team picture. Coach
Chase Crane went around the backside of the tent and hit it up so the rain water flew out the front
on to the athletes. Coach Steve Wilmesherr caught the water on camera right before it hit them
and they didn't even see it coming.

Golf-
The golfers finished up with awards today, which very smoothly. There were lots of fans out to
support the team. They were able to finish the week on a positive note.

Tere'e Trussell Silver in individual skills
Tina Jones - 4th place in individual skills

They continued to be fans of the game today. At the men's basketball game, Brianne Chavez and
Dary McIntyre got the fans pumped up by leading the show me, show me, show me cheer.

Tennis-
Tennis finished up an amazing week of competition today with singles. Brittany Selken played some
great matches and ended up bringing home a bronze medal. Bobby also shined in his matches. He
too received a bronze medal.
Results:
Brittany Selken - Bronze in singles
Bobby Williams - Bronze in singles

Volleyball-
The team started out the morning with a loss against New
Jersey. They played hard but made a few mistakes. After
getting over the morning jitters, they played Pennsylvania
for the bronze medal. It was a rematch from the other day.
After losing the first set, they came back strong and won on
the second set. They got the win on the third set and took
bronze. They have awards tomorrow. Matt Montgomery
was in tears after their victory and hugging everyone. The
athletes were very excited.
