Was that Goepfert coaching her that they kept showing?

Not sure where this goes but XC fans will appreciate this. Graham Blanks from Harvard wins the NCAAs. The runner who got 2nd from New Mexico ran the final 5K of the 10K race with just one shoe after losing a shoe in a scuffle with some other runners. It was about 35 degrees on the course. People are amazing. I didn't see any KSU Cats in the race.

Good looking class for us... lots of international kids + impact transfers + some Kansas kids.

Looks like they're going for jumps, multis and middle distance, which I think is a good formula for the program's success.

Went to the meet yesterday. Enjoyed the crap out of it. I like all the quirky distances they have for indoor meets: 60M, 200M, 400M, 600yds, 800M, 1000M, 1mile.

Track Cats snubbed the KU Relays and went out to Oregon's elite Hayward Field for the weekend. Boss move.

There are an amazing number of elite high jumpers who have come from Kansas. Alan Hanna from Maize just jumped 7' 1" at the KU Relays last weekend. Pretty sure he is signed with the Cats for next year.

Do you know why Kansas has so many elite jumpers?

Most of them spent their youth climbing on tractors, which simulates the high jump form in many ways.

Riley Marx (sophomore javelin thrower from Andale) is an All-American:

Monique Hardy will be throwing today.

That's a pretty good toss . . .

I see they're now putting the not so new spear back out there at 90 plus meters/300 plus feet.

The 'new' Javelin world record is 98.48 meters and that's not that far off the old javelin world record which prompted the change in weighting/aero.

Strong finish got him to third.

Helluva second day (scored more points than anyone else). Fourth best mark in school history and top 40 mark in the world this year.

He's met the minimum standard for the world championships (but not the auto standard), so an outside chance he could make it and compete for Sweden.

Men have a good chance to score in the triple jump as well and with a good finish, could place in the top 25 or so. The women have only one chance to score points left (high jump).

Awesome day for our 1st Team AA SwedeCat!

Looks like the two LadyCats in the 400M hurdles didn't make the final. Still ran 400M while jumping over hurdles in 58 sec which is crazy.
