The week that was: March 10-16
Take a look back at all the Missouri Tiger sports we weren’t able to cover the past week with links to what we did.
Football
Early in the week, we got to hear from Blake Craig and Marquis Johnson at spring practice. You can find those videos here.
I took my camera out to that same practice and put up a couple of photo galleries. Here is part 1, and here is part 2.
I also wrote about how the Tigers’ receiver room has reloaded this year after losing most of its production.
And then we heard from offensive line coach Brandon Jones and defensive line coach Al Davis. You can find those videos here.
And here is my story on the Tigers focusing on development at defensive tackle.
You can also keep up with my notes from spring practice in the spring practice thread.

Freshman Jonathan Seremes won the triple jump championships with a personal-best jump of 55-feet, 11-inches, leading the Tiger men to finish 23rd overall. He became the Tigers’ first national champion in triple jump and fourth Tiger man to claim an NCAA Indoor Championship and first since 1999.
Sterling Scott joined Seremes as a triple jump First Team All-American, taking eighth with a leap of 52-7.5, marking the first time the Mizzou men have produced two First Team All-Americans at the Indoor Championships in the same event since Nick Adcock and Lars Rise in the 2010 heptathlon (fourth and fifth, respectively).

The Tigers were great both days. We do not take earning All-American Honors for granted. We came home with six All-Americans, a top-25 finish and a national champion.”
