Two weeks ago in the Big Ten finals, Kassidy had a bad break when she got tripped up & bumped bad, taking her out of medal contention. Yesterday in the NCAA 1st round, history tried to repeat itself but Kassidy wasn’t having it this time.

Meet Emma Robbins. She’s a K-State junior, she’s competed in the hammer throw three times this season, and she ranks 10th in the country.
“Pretty crazy,” she says.
Here’s what isn’t crazy: She has the makings of a first-team All-American.

“Ahearn has so many memories for me. I'm an old guy that saw the thing grow up from its beginning. It was great to walk on campus and see the construction of it. It really was a good spot on campus.
"We were all quite proud of the building."
