"We went in to day two knowing exactly what we needed to do to win it all," Crumpecker said. "We came out today and did exactly that. We worked hard and did everything we were capable of doing the last two days. To me, Blake Smith, Chris Martin, and Chris Navarro were our MVPs this weekend. Both Chris' worked extremely hard the last two days in the heptathlon and in their individual events."
After leading the women's standings after day one, the Southeast Missouri women's team fell out of first and finished fourth in the championships. Tennessee State won the women's championship.
"Tennessee State was nearly perfect at home this weekend. We tip our hats to them after stellar performances the last two days by the Tigers," Crumpecker added.
