OTHER TOP PERFORMERS
Aaron Booth - Men’s Track & Field
Booth, a junior from Auckland, New Zealand, began his campaign on a high note, winning the men’s long jump in the Wildcat Invitational at Ahearn Field House on Saturday. He recorded a personal best jump of 7.18m/23-06.75 on his fifth attempt. This surpassed his 7.03m/23-00.75 jump last April at the Jim Click Shootout. Later in the day, Booth ran in the men’s 60 meter hurdles and finished with a time of 8.51, good enough for third place. The No. 24 ranked K-State men won the dual competition, defeating North Texas, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, UMKC and Langston. The team will head to Lawrence, Kan., for the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular on Friday.
Kassidy Johnson - Women’s Track & Field
Johnson, a freshman from Wichita, Kan., put herself into K-State history by running the eighth-fastest 1,000 meters in K-State history in the Wildcat Invitational at Ahearn Field House on Saturday. Johnson clocked a 2:51.40 to win the event. Johnson’s 2:51.40 is also the fastest time in the event since 2011, when Boglarka Bozzay ran a 2:45.91 in the event. It was also the Maize South alum’s first meet in a K-State uniform. The No. 28 ranked K-State women won the dual competition, defeating North Texas, UMKC and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The team will head to Lawrence, Kan., for the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular on Friday.

She tied her career-high with five blocked shots and also set a new career-high from the free-throw line, finishing 9-of-11 from the stripe.
