Director of Track and Field Cale McDaniel on the NCAA East Preliminary Championships
"Summing up this week is a tough task. We have a vision for this program to be nationally recognized and a force at the end of the season when it matters most. I have pushed this staff and these student-athletes very hard so we can get to where we want to go. Having six athletes going to Texas in seven events is certainly a step in the right direction. I am so proud of this program but we are not done yet! We are headed to Texas to make some noise and make KSU nation proud!"

Next Up
The Owls will send a program-high six athletes to the finals of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Championships on June 7-10 in Austin Texas.
