Junior Cesar Ramirez runs towards the finish line during the JK Gold Classic at Clapp Park. Ramirez finished 11th in the race, and scored nine points towards the Wichita State total.

Redshirt junior Cesar Ramirez competes in cross country and track and field for Wichita State — but he’s not the only decorated runner in his family. His second uncle, Aaron Ramirez, ran the 10,000 meters at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics.

Cesar said he checks in with his second uncle every few months.

“I have asked him a couple of times for some tips on how to become a better runner and a better person,” Cesar said.
