Today’s Schedule

Did You Notice?

  • Mississippi State’s cross country team nearly had all 10 of its runners finish inside the top 10 at the Belhaven Invite this weekend. The pack was led by Naomi Jeplting, who crossed the line in 20:41.2 in her first collegiate 6k race. Nelly Jemeli followed closely behind in 20:56.7 for her first collegiate 6k.
  • Mississippi State men's golf opens play at the Cullan Brown Collegiate on October 6-7. The event is named in honor of former Kentucky golfer Cullan Brown, who tragically lost his life after a battle with Osteosarcoma. He was a member of the Wildcats' golf team from 2018-20 and was selected to the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2019. The Bulldogs head to Lexington coming off a fifth-place showing at The Blessings Collegiate Invitational last week. They were led by a pair of top-10 finishes from Garrett Endicott and Ugo Malcor.
