04/13/26 Manhattan Mercury
The inaugural K-State Relays, a unique, relay-focused meet, brought together top competition from across Kansas and surrounding states, with team scoring centered around relay events and select field competitions. The meet also served as a showcase for the new event format and facility hosted by K-State. “It’s awesome,” said Manhattan High track and field head coach Kory Cool. “I don’t think there’s a better facility in the country. You hear K-State track talk about it all the time, and they’re right. This is such a great venue to host — it can’t be more accommodating to the athletes. They do a great job running it, they’re serious about it, and it’s just going to continue to grow.”
