The Kansas State track team had to cut its day short on Saturday at the Texas A&M Alumni Muster Short because of inclement weather and storms.
Prior to the weather cancellation, the Wildcats were off to a hot start, recording five top-3 finishes at the meet. Those finishes came from the hammer throw, javelin and long jump competitions.
Head coach Cliff Rovelto said he was pleased with his team’s performances.
“Hammers overall were alright,” he said in a release to K-State Athletics. “Some good, some hoped for better, but not disappointed. … Long jumps in the rain were solid.”
