Kansas University’s track and field teams combined for 22 event victories, including 15 of 19 events on the women’s side, as the Jayhawks kicked off 2016 at the Bill Easton Classic on Friday inside Anschutz Pavilion.
The KU women were nearly perfect on the track, claiming wins in 11 of the 12 running events, while 11 Jayhawk men turned in career-best marks in their first outing of the year.
“There some good and not-so-good performances today, but overall I was pleased with what we did today,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said. “There were some people that took big strides over the break, and those were the ones that had good outings today. In all, it was a good way to start the year.”
