Listen to a podcast with Ben Flowers and Clayton Duchatscheck on Shocker cross country
To return to the sport he loves, Ben Flowers needed to love that sport less.
Flowers, a senior distance runner at Wichita State, opens the cross country season on Saturday in the JK Gold Classic at 4 Mile Creek Resort near Augusta. In 2019, Flowers won the JK Gold Classic to start a breakout season in which he earned All-American Athletic Conference and NCAA All-Midwest Region honors.
He did not race again for the Shockers until January 2022 in indoor track.
