LAWRENCE, KAN. -Â Kansas Track and Field completed competition at the Rock Chalk Classic on Saturday at Rock Chalk Park.Â
"I'm excited about the momentum we gained, but more importantly, we have to make sure our marks are comparable, and we are going in the direction we need to be going for the Big 12. I'm excited though, we were better than we were last week, but still have a ways to go," Kansas Head Coach Stanley Redwine said.Â
Kansas won 16 events Saturday, building on their successful meets in the outdoor season. The Jayhawks were highlighted by sweeps in the Men's and Women's Pole Vault, the Men's and Women's 800m, and the Men's and Women's Triple Jump, as the Jayhawks took the crown in all of those events.Â
In the Men's Pole Vault, freshman Bryce Barkdull took home his first collegiate win after jumping a height of 5.21 meters (17-1 feet). Brady Koolen placed second, and right behind him was Jake Freidel, who took fourth. In the Women's Pole Vault, three Jayhawks achieved personal records as Madi Snody jumped 4.20 meters, Gabby Hoke jumped 4.40 meters, and Erica Ellis jumped 4.50 meters, achieving a new personal best and tying a school record.Â
In the Women's 800 meters, Emmaculate Jemutai won the event by over three seconds, running a time of 2:08.19. The men would sustain the success in the event, as Kansas claimed every spot in the top five, with sophomore Garret Wilmes winning the race with a time of 1:50.28.
More Kansas freshmen would impress at the Rock Chalk Classic, as freshman Jordynn West won the Women's Triple Jump event, jumping 11.70 meters. Dillon Peters would win the Men's rendition of the Triple Jump, as he took home first place with a mark of 15.08 meters.Â
Jeremiah Smith was another Jayhawk who took home a first-place finish, as he won the 110-meter hurdles event with a time of 14.33 seconds. This is Smith's second win in as many meets in the 110 hurdles, as he won the event in his last start at the Kansas Relays.Â
Senior Addison Brooks won the 400-meter hurdles event for Kansas, being the only runner in the field to run a time under a minute, as she recorded a mark of 59.22 seconds. Gabe Birkmeier took home first place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase for Kansas, as he ran a time of 9:37.53.Â
Kansas ended the running events by sweeping the 5,000-meter event as well. Freshman Ebba Cronholm ran a time of 16:29.50 to win the Women's event, and another freshman, Blake Wohler, recorded a mark of 14:35.90 to win the last running event of the meet, and the 14th overall for Kansas.Â
For the final field events, Dimitrios Pavlidis took home first place in the men's discus, recording a mark of 62.51 meters on his second throw of the day to win the event. Freshman Madeline Fey won the Women's shot put event, also winning the event on her second throw, which was 15.93 meters.Â

Kansas will next compete in Tucson, Arizona, in the Desert Heat Classic, taking place from May 2-3.
