CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The UNI men's track and field team was picked to finish first in the Missouri Valley Indoor Track and Field Championships, and the women were tabbed fourth.
The UNI men's team leads the pack with six first-place votes and 76 total points. Coming off another all-American campaign in the shot put, Darius King brings back a lot of experience, including sweeping the 2021 MVC indoor and outdoor shot put champions. At the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials, King put together an impressive performance with a 12th-place finish. Another reigning MVC champion, Tayshaun Cooper, defends his 200-meter and 4x400-meter crowns.
