Six first-place medals were awarded on the opening day of the 2021 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championship held at Kansas State’s R.V. Christian Track & Field Complex in Manhattan.

Cailie Logue of Iowa State repeated as champion in the women’s 10,000 meters with her time of 34:07.94. The men’s 10,000-meter was delayed due to weather in the area, but resumed later Friday evening. The Cyclones racked up the first four finishes, as Wesley Kiptoo ran a Championship record 28:22.98.

Lauren Jones became the first Oklahoma women’s student-athlete to win the hammer throw with her personal record of 66.20 meters (217-2). Kansas senior Gleb Dudarev hit the nation’s second-best mark this season with his toss of 74.61 meters (244’ 9.00”) in the hammer. Dudarev is the first four-time champion in the hammer after winning the event previously in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Junior Kelsey Kehl clinched gold in her debut season with the Cowgirls after hurling the javelin 50.03 meters (164-1) to win the event and secure 10 points for OSU. In the men’s javelin, K-State senior Logan Wolfley placed first with a collegiate-best mark of 73.08 meters (239’ 9.00”).

In the first day of the men’s decathlon, the opening five events were taken by either Texas freshman Leo Neugebauer or Oklahoma sophomore Kristo Simulask. Neugebauer, who entered this weekend’s meet at No. 10 on the national performance list, has accrued 4,139 points after winning the long jump (7.43m/24-4.50), shot put (14.53m/47-8.00), and 400 meters (50.45 seconds). Simulask ranked 35th nationally in the decathlon and collected wins in the 100 meters (10.76 seconds) and high jump (2.02m/6-7.50) to accumulate 3,958 for second. The final five events (110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1,500-meters) will take place Saturday.

K-State’s Lauren Taubert maintains a first-place lead after four events and 3,487 points in the heptathlon. She won the 200-meters with a dash of 23.99 seconds and placed in the top-five in the 100-meter hurdles (13.54) and high jump (1.69m/5-6.50). Taubert entered the weekend with the No. 4 overall spot in the heptathlon.
