Some Jayhawks also took part Saturday in the Cyclone National Qualifier in Ames, Iowa. Senior Cameron Schwehr had a provisionally qualifying time of 4:04.40 in the mile, placing seventh.

Bacchus joins senior Sheldon Battle (weight throw and shot put) and sophomore Egor Agafonov (weight throw) as KU’s automatic qualifiers for the NCAA Indoors.
