Then they’ll adapt to a longer run,” he said. “This is setting up their base for the season and getting them ready for what’s going to happen when we get started in January.“

Dubstep artist DJ SOLO performs at Hangar 9’s Welcome Fest. SOLO switched from hip-hop DJ to dubstep in 2009 and said it’s about bringing people together on another level. “(It’s) something about (how) the frequency of the bass corresponds to a certain brain frequency,” he said. “Dubstep awakens something in people. It’s a new generation.”

Jennifer VanBrooker, of Carbondale, performs a clean and jerk, an Olympic lift, Sunday during a workout at CrossFit So Ill. VanBrooker said being a CrossFit member is unique to a regular gym membership because it’s a community of people. “Everyone does the workouts together, and we push and motivate each other,” she said. “After a long day at a desk job, I get to come and work out with my friends in a great environment.”

The Salukis celebrate after a strong play during their Nov. 9 game against the University of Northern Iowa at Davies Gymnasium. SIU fell to Northern Iowa in four sets, which brought its record to 19-7. The team came back the next night to win against Bradley University on Senior Night in four sets. The win marked the Salukis’ 20th of the season, which was a first in 10 years.

Senior guard Jeff Early attempts a rebound Nov. 28 during the men’s basketball game against Fresno State University. Early posted his second career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Desmar Jackson led the Salukis with 25 points and an off-balance 3-pointer during the game’s last few seconds to secure the SIU victory.

George Minkel, a junior from Montgomery studying sports administration, takes fourth place Nov. 3 in the 200-yard freestyle against Air Force at the Edward J. Shea Natatorium. The SIU men’s team lost to Air Force 126-115 and to Missouri State 169-71. The SIU women’s team lost 122-121 to five-time Missouri Valley Conference champion Missouri State.

SIU head football coach Dale Lennon and team members celebrate by singing “Go Southern Go” in front of the home crowd after the Salukis defeated the University of Northern Iowa in their Oct. 13 Homecoming game. The Salukis, who were 3-3 going into the match, came up with several big plays to keep pace with their conference rivals. SIU was tied at 31 with the Panthers with less than a minute to play when freshman kicker Austin Johnson nailed a 24-yard field goal to give SIU a 34-31 edge. The Saluki defense took over and kept pressure on UNI quarterback Brett Kollmorgen, sacking him twice in UNI’s last possession of the game.

Freshman tight end MyCole Pruitt runs the ball downfield Sept. 15 during the first home game at Saluki Stadium. Coach Dale Lennon said during his post-game press conference that this is the offense they were waiting to put on display. “We want to feel that the hard work and preparation is going to show,” he said.
