SLATE: Back on top

#HighJumpU is back! For the first time since 2018, a Kansas State Wildcat is again king of the high jump as Tejaswin Shankar reclaimed his crown after clearing 2.27m/7-5.25 to earn the 2022 NCAA Men’s High Jump Championship last Friday. Of course, he didn’t fall far in the intervening years, finishing runner-up in both 2019 and 2021 (of course there was no competition in 2020), but the return to the very top of the podium is an incredible parting accomplishment for the 5th-year senior. He finishes his career as an eight-time All-American in the high jump (combined indoor and outdoor), including a four-time First Team Outdoor All-American.
