MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Kansas State men's and women's track and field teams are set to compete at the Big 12 Indoor Championship on February 22-23 at the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas, as the Wildcats battle to see who is on top of the Big 12 Conference.
The two-day meet kicks off on Friday at 10:00 a.m. CT and Saturday at 11:00 a.m. In total, 38 individuals will be crowned Big 12 Champions, while two teams will take home the team competitions. The meet will stream live on FloTrack, while single-session and whole session tickets to attend the Big 12 Indoor Championship are available starting at $5 for youth and $10 for adults.
