This episode centers on one of the biggest track and field events in the region, with a full preview of the SBU meet in Bolivar and just how massive it’s become. From stacked sprint fields to distance showdowns like Sinry Mendoza vs. Wyatt Claiborne in the 1600, it highlights the depth of talent across the Ozarks and how these meets are turning into must-watch events. There’s also a lighter moment early on with Ozarks Sports Zone’s Chris Parker, setting the tone before the conversation shifts into real competition and stakes.

There’s also a broader discussion around the changing structure of local sports, with the Ozark Conference realignment bringing back familiar rivalries and reshaping competition across schools like Rolla, Waynesville, Camdenton, and Lebanon. Add in an early look at the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions field, including Rogersville, Hillcrest, and an out-of-state Texas program, and it paints a clear picture of how the Ozarks sports scene continues to grow in scale and relevance.
