Bruno Primerano Sets Top 10 Time in First Meet as a Tiger

The women’s team beat Indiana State 259-94 and Missouri State 270-83 while the men’s team won 249-104 against Missouri State.

“I am thrilled with the athlete's attitudes, the way they support each other, and for them to dig deep and give that incredible effort,” Mizzou Head Coach Andrew Grevers said. “There’s plenty of room for growth, but the controllables were quite impressive this week.”
