Missouri State

Madison Meredith won both the 100- and 200-meter dash as part of a three-title day for the senior sprinter to boost Missouri State track and field to a fourth-place finish at the 2021 Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Championship.  She started off her spectacular day by running the second leg of the 4x100-meter relay team that was first to the finish line for MSU's first gold medal of the championship.  She clocked a season-best time of 11.43 in the 100m to claim her first individual title before going on to complete a sweep of the sprints with a first-place finish in the 200m on a 23.46 pace. 

In her first season with the Bears, Meredith has won five events at a league championship as she backed up her indoor titles in the sprints – 60m and 200m – with a trio of first-place finishes from Sunday's finale.  She became the first Bear to win both sprint races at an outdoor championship since Marissa Kurtimah accomplished the feat in back-to-back MVC meets in 2016 and 2017.
