Running the show: Pickett keeps Mizzou on track

Glenn Pickett, a Columbia native born in 1955, has served as officials coordinator for Mizzou indoor track meets since 2000 at Hearnes Center Fieldhouse.
He began officiating while teaching science education at Mizzou and has maintained this role for 25 seasons, supporting a sport once little-known to him.
Pickett organizes about 36 officials from central Missouri to ensure smooth meet operations and witnessed Jonathan Seremes break the triple jump record in February 2025.
He mentioned that the upgraded track and indoor amenities bring renewed enthusiasm to the competitions and expressed confidence that these improvements will draw top high school athletes.
With renovations completed last fall and outdoor upgrades planned for 2026, Pickett plans to continue officiating until physical limits prevent him, helping grow Mizzou’s track tradition.
