The Cyclones would call that quality home-track advantage — and they got that during the weekend.
The crowd was certainly in display May 15 to 17 for the Big 12 Outdoor Championship at the newly built Cyclone Sports Complex — the first time an official track meet was held at the facility.
Some Cyclones were pushed to their limits with encouragement from the crowd and others were able to overcome season-long injuries in the first and only overall team meet in the outdoor season.
The Cyclones struggled points-wise in front of their home crowd, finishing in ninth of nine teams, but there were more than a few bright spots.
