High jumper Brady Palen warms up on the track as track and field practice begins. Palen is a junior at Wichita State.

Building off the momentum of past seasons, high jumper Brady Palen is ready to continue his track career — now as a junior.

In his sophomore indoor season, Palen high jumped in eight meets, placing top two in six meets and winning three. Then, he qualified and scored a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

“I kind of went into that with not a lot of expectations,” Palen said.
