Freshmen High Jumpers Tackling New Heights

June 8, 2015

Everything is new for Wildcat track and field high jumpers Christoff Bryan and Nate Gipson this year.

The two freshmen came to K-State with high expectations and, after a successful first year with the Wildcats that will end later this week in the NCAA Championships, they are well on their way to meeting them.

This high jump duo opened their K-State careers on a high note and quickly took the Big 12 by storm. After placing third at the Big 12 Indoor Championship in February, Gipson earned Big 12 Outstanding Newcomer of the Year honors for the indoor season, while Bryan finished second at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship in May to earn the conference's Outstanding Newcomer of the Year for the outdoor season.
