The Southeast Missouri State track and field program sets its sights on Ohio Valley Conference titles this weekend.

Southeast will compete in the OVC outdoor meet today and Saturday in Cookeville, Tenn. Tennessee Tech is the host.

Eastern Illinois is the favorite for both the men's and women's team titles.

The Panthers swept the OVC indoor meet in February after they swept the 2009 OVC outdoor and indoor meets.

The Southeast men were second and the women third at this year's indoor competition, while the women were second and the men third at the 2009 outdoor meet.

The Southeast softball team wraps up its home schedule this weekend with a three-game OVC series against first-place Tennessee-Martin.

There will be a noon doubleheader Saturday and a 1 p.m. senior day contest Sunday.

Southeast (15-25, 5-12) is last in the 10-team OVC with six conference games remaining. The top six finishers qualify for the OVC tournament.

The Redhawks trail sixth-place Tennessee Tech (9-11) by 2 1/2 games, but just one game on the loss side. Those squads square off next weekend in Cookeville, Tenn.

Tennessee-Martin (39-9, 16-3) leads the OVC by 2 1/2 games over Morehead State.

Southeast will honor three seniors Sunday. Catcher Alex Ramirez and outfielder Jennifer Vasquez have been four-year starters while Allie Borowiak has not played since 2008 due to an injury but has remained part of the program.
