Kansas State director of track and field Travis Geopfert was named the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Men’s Indoor Coach of the Year, as announced by the organization on Thursday, his first head coaching award. In his second year at the helm, Geopfert led the men’s track and field teams to program records during the season.
Geopfert guided the men’s team to the program’s highest NCAA Championship finish and most points scored, in fourth place with 24 points. Six Wildcats were named First Team All-Americans during the first NCAA postseason for four of the men, and the first honorees since 2022.
