Kansas long jumper Barden Adams kicks up a wave of sand as he lands in the pit after an attempt during the Men's Long Jump event of the Rock Chalk Classic, Saturday, April 30, 2016 at Rock Chalk Park.

Senior Daina Levy’s season-best toss in the hammer throw highlighted 10 Kansas University individual wins at the Rock Chalk Track and Field Classic on Saturday at Rock Chalk Park.

Levy threw 224 feet, 3 inches, a RCP-facility record.

“Both the men’s and women’s teams looked great today,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said. “It was exciting to see Daina throw the way she did and have a lot of personal bests on the track as well. We definitely got what we wanted to out of this meet. We have a lot of people doing well at the right time, and that’s what you want to see.”

KU’s other winners: Nashia Baker, 1,500 meters, 4:30.90; Emily Downey, 5,000, 17:19.94; Ivan Henry, 400, 46.59; Strymar Livingston, 800, 1:49.91; Daniel Koech, 1,500, 3:54.28; Alex Wilson, 400 hurdles, 52.29; Nick Meyer, pole vault, 17-6 1/4; Barden Adams, triple jump, 50-0; and Cole Ceban, shot put, 58-11 1/2 .

Kansas will travel May 13-15 to the Big 12 Outdoor Championships in Fort Worth, Texas.
