May 07, 2022 | Track & Field
MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Kansas State track and field team kept the momentum on the second day of the Ward Haylett Invitational on Saturday (April 7) at the R.V. Christian Track. K-State concluded the day with eight first place marks.
"Fortunately, we had a couple of great days of weather and a number of athletes took advantage of the opportunity and turned in some nice performances," stated Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cliff Rovelto. "This meet is the final opportunity for athletes to make our conference championship team and we had a few step up and make a strong case for themselves. This senior class is relatively large and made up of athletes that have been in the program as little as a year and as much as six years. This group has had a significant impact contributing to a couple of conference championships on the women's side, school records and All-American performances and an individual national championship. They will be missed!"
