EUGENE, Ore. — High Jump U. has two more trophies for the case.
Kansas State’s Kimberly Williamson capped the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a second-place finish in the high jump, with teammate Akela Jones finishing fourth. Their performances helped the Wildcat women crack the top 10 of the team standings and finish in a ninth-place tie with Texas.
K-State’s high jumpers are traditionally among the best in the country under coach Cliff Rovelto, and Williamson — a junior from Frankfield, Jamaica — was happy to perpetuate the tradition.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” she said.
