The Kansas University track and field team earned eight first-place finishes Saturday at the Jayhawk Invitational in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Sophomores Brandon Hodges and Megan Manthe won the men’s and women’s 1,000-meter run, and senior Jeremy Hull and freshman Yvonne Calzonetti won the men’s and women’s pole vault.
Freshman Abby Emsick won the shot put, and the Jayhawk 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter relay squads finished first. Sophomore Jeremy Mims was the other KU winner, taking first place in the 600-yard run.
“We had a really quality meet,” Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. “I thought everyone did an excellent job. We’re just continuing to do as I’ve said before — work hard and get better in the future — and we were better this week than we were last week, and that’s what we’re going to keep doing.”
The Jayhawks will travel to Champaign, Ill., for the Illini Track Invitational Feb. 8.
