What it actually takes to run at Southern Illinois

NCAA Division I · MVC · IL

Southern Illinois signed 27 athletes for 2025-26 — including 1 international signee. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”

Southern Illinois is a 8,195-student public campus in Carbondale, IL and competes in the MVC. Angelina Ramos leads a staff of 7 covering 4 event groups.

“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
