DECEMBER TO REMEMBER  
Emporia State begins the indoor track season at the WU Alumni Invite. The December meets give the Hornets a mark going into the semester break before returning to action in mid-January.

THAT'S A LOT
Emporia State returns all of the athletes that had a provisional qualifying mark during last year's indoor season. The Hornets had a total of 20 provisional marks on the season. There are 12 men and three women that hit provisional marks in a total of 12 events for the Hornets last year. 

THE COACH
Seth Mischke is in his third year as the head coach for the Emporia State track and field programs. The Hornets have produced six MIAA individual champions and seven All-American under his leadership. Before coming to Emporia State he spent one year at Chadron State. Eagle throwers earned five All-America awards and four RMAC Championships. Prior to Chadron State, Mischke spent 11 seasons as the head track and field coach at Black Hills State University. The Yellow Jackets produced two individual national champions, 18 All-America earners, 18 conference champions, and more than 100 All-RMAC honorees under his guidance. Mischke was the head coach at St. Cloud State for 12 years. During his tenure at SCSU, the Huskies had 44 All-Americans and one national champion.
