Evansville then travels to Carbondale, Illinois to compete in the Don Denoon Invitational on February 3 before wrapping-up the indoor regular season at the EIU Friday Night Special in Charleston, Illinois on February 16. The Aces will make their first-ever MVC Championship appearance on February 24 and 25 in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
On Thursday, the Missouri Valley Conference released the conference’s men’s and women’s track and field preseason coaches polls. The Aces’ men’s team received 11 points in the poll and was picked ninth while Evansville’s women’s team earned 13 points and were selected 10th. In the poll, Southern Illinois received five first-place votes and was tabbed as the conference favorites after finishing second in the indoor championships a season ago. On the women’s side, Illinois State picked up eight first-place nods after earning runner-up honors in both indoor and outdoor last season.
