Apr 30, 2022 | Track & Field
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Kansas State track and field closed out the split weekend on Saturday (April 30) at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout in Lubbock, Texas and the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
"In Lubbock, we had some very solid performances, some average and some that wasn't very good," stated Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cliff Rovelto. "Pretty similar to all track meets, but it seemed the extremes were more so today. Next weeks meet will be relatively low key. Some of our conference competitors will compete, but many will not. Biggest deal next week is recognizing seniors for their time at K-State."
