The JK Gold Classic is named after John Kornelson who was WSU’s head cross country coach from 1984-2000. He coached six Missouri Valley Conference Champions and 15 All-Americans. He is now in the Shocker Sports Hall of Fame.
The Shockers claimed championships on Sept. 3 at the Annual JK Gold Classic on the same course that Kornelson found in 1985.
“Well sometimes it’s good to not have to worry about a competitive meet,” Head Coach Kirk Hunter said. We can kind of just get out there relax and do our thing.”
The women claimed a team championship with a perfect score of 15 points.
