A small but mighty group of 10 athletes ran, jumped, and threw their way to an improbable State Title in Jeff City, led by 8 top-4 finishes in the group's 10 qualified events.

Peaking when it matters most, this was the team's only varsity meet win of the season...! Rock State!

Rockhurst Track & Field brought home its first State Championship in 1975 and then won again in 1976... and 50 years later, the Hawklets completed another historic repeat!
