It was another big week for the Missouri Tigers and it’s easy to miss things along the way.

So here’s a recap of the events we didn’t cover, with links to what we did.

Football

Men's Basketball

I talked with skills coach Dexter Gooding for a story on Caleb Grill as he prepares for a pro career.

Kenny added a story about Trent Perry assessing recruiting after coaching changes.

The Tigers added Griffin McHone as Director of Basketball Operations on Saturday.

Women's Basketball

Baseball

The Tigers finished the regular season with a series against Mississippi State.

Here is my game story from Game 1, here is the story from Game 2 and here is the story from Game 3.

I also wrote about Cayden Nicoletto and his long road from Australia to Missouri and what is next for Mizzou baseball.

I finished up the regular season with a photo gallery from the game.

Wrestling

Track & Field

The Tigers went to Lexington, Ky., for the SEC Outdoor Championships from Thursday through Saturday. The men took 15th with 14 total points, while the women took 12th with 28 points.

I’ll run through each day’s top-10 finishes.

- On Thursday, the women had 11 points, led by Valentina Barrios, who placed second in the women’s javelin with a throw of 190-feet, 11-inches for a school record and second place overall.

Monica Wanjiku took sixth in the women’s 10,000-meter run with a time of 34:29.76, and Morgan Cannon took 10th in the women’s javelin with a heave of 158-6.

On the men’s side, Callan Saldutto led the way with a fifth-place finish in the javelin with a throw of 234-1, while Sam Innes took seventh in the hammer throw with a toss of 220-3.

- On Friday, the Tigers had their best performance as Kristi Perez-Snyman claimed the program’s first conference women’s high jump title by clearing a school record 6-2.75. Perez-Snyman won the ninth individual SEC outdoor title in Mizzou women’s history and the second in as many years after Euphenie Andre won the 2024 title in triple jump.

Claudina Diaz followed Perez-Snyman with a fifth-place finish in the high jump at 6-0.5.

On the men’s side, Elijah Limo took fifth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a personal record of 8:52.53, while Joshua Allison was seventh at 8:56.13. Ethan Lee added a 10th-place finish in the 1,500-meter run prelim with a time of 3:47.96.
