Hoo-boy. This was a brutal weekend to be a Kansas State sports fan. Being the kind and generous folks we are, we’ll get you started with the good news.
Track and Field
At the Jim Click Shootout in Tucson, against a fairly strong field of Power 5 schools, K-State racked up ten event wins and 23 podium finishes over the weekend. As we noted Saturday, the first of those wins was Lauren Taubert’s NCAA-leading performance in the heptathlon. On the final day, she was joined by Jullane Walker in the men’s 200m, Hadley Splechter in the men’s 3k steeplechase, Vitoria Alves in the women’s 100m hurdles, the women’s 4x100m relay team of Wurrie Njadoe, Shalysa Wray, Chantoba Bright, and Kimisha Chambers, the women’s 4x400 relay team of O’shalia Johnson, Chambers, Taubert, and Wray, Tejaswin Shankar in the men’s high jump (of course), Bright in the women’s long jump, and Jah Strange and Rhianna Phipps sweeping the triple jump events.
