Little Apple Pride celebrates LGBTQ community with 10th annual festival

EMMA SNYDER

THE COLLEGIAN

Members of the Manhattan community came together Saturday afternoon for the 10th annual Little Apple Pride festival. The event began with a parade at noon on Poyntz Avenue that kicked off the festival held in City Park. The afternoon featured live performances by drag queens and other performers as well as booths featuring local ally businesses and organizations. “Manhattan is a fabulous place and a bastion of joy in Kansas,” said Mary Renee, local comedian and host of the festival. “So many people came out today and we just want everyone to show love and joy, have a good time and be proud of who they are.” Jerred McKee, Manhattan’s first openly gay city commissioner, spoke at the event. “Manhattan has done so much in recent years to make sure we’re as inclusive as possible,” McKee said. McKee gave a personal account about his journey in coming to terms with his sexual orientation and addressed those struggling to

the LGBTQ community. “I am so pleased at the turnout and to see the big crowd that’s out here,” Morse said. “It’s more than I ever could have imagined, and I’m so thankful for this city and the community.”

Wildcat tennis team drops Sunflower Showdown to KU in Lawrence on Saturday by Carolina Lewis At the long-awaited Sunflower Showdown, the Kansas State tennis team fell 7-0 to the No. 20 Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence on Saturday afternoon. After the loss, the Wildcats concluded their regular season with a record of 12-10 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12 Conference. By contrast, KU is 16-4 overall, 7-2 in the Big 12. The Wildcats were not able to hold onto their two-match winning streak, with their loss propelling the Jayhawks to five wins in a row and an undefeated 11-0 home record in the regular season. KU picked up the first point of the match during the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles competitions. The Jayhawk doubles pairing of Janet Koch and Nina Khmelnitckaia, who are currently ranked No. 3 in the country, defeated K-State’s sophomore duo of Margot Decker and Anna Turco on court one with a score of 6-2. Court three followed next, with the Jayhawks defeating the K-State’s freshman Ioana Gheorghita and sophomore Maria Linares. The No. 2 doubles competition did not finish due to Big 12 clinching rules, leaving KU with the doubles point uncontested. As the competition moved into singles play, the Jayhawks comfortably picked up wins, starting at the No. 6 court — KU’s Maria Toran Ribes defeated Gheorghita 6-4, 6-0.

International Students Week concludes with talent show, scholarships ANGELA SAWYER THE COLLEGIAN

The International Coordinating Council held a week of events to celebrate Kansas State University’s international students, culminating in a talent show Saturday night that was filled with dancers, singers and other acts. Each performance at the International Students Week talent show was intended to give spectators a glimpse into the country the performing students originated from, along with the many ways music and dance are interpreted across different parts of the world. For some of the performers, this was their first time on a stage. Dominica Genda, graduate student in veterinary biomedical science, represented the continent of Africa through a dance with some of her friends. “We were in the fashion show representing [countries] individually, and then we came up with the idea, ‘How

about we dance for Africa?’” Genda said. Genda also spoke about her experience performing in the talent show. “I was nervous before, but when I got there, I don’t know, the energy started flowing and it just came naturally,” Genda said. The evening of the talent show was also filled with giveaways and a look back on the events of this year’s International Students Week. However, the night was not just about highlighting student talents; many international students were awarded scholarships to help them continue their education at K-State. Buddhika Aththanayaka, graduate student in mechanical engineering, was awarded with the Willam L. Richter international scholarship. Aththanayaka said this scholarship will help him concentrate on his studies. “It’s a huge relief for me, and it will also encourage me to do extracurricular activi-

ties,” Aththanayaka said. Aththanayaka then elaborated on why these scholarships are important to international students. “It’s really important,” Aththanayaka said. “I think every international student deserves something because they are away from their home country, struggling with the bills on their own without any family members helping them.” The talent show not only gave international students the chance to celebrate their own cultures, but learn about others as well. Dhruthi Singamsetty, president of the International Coordinating Council and senior in biology, spoke about why events like these are so important. “We are one of two groups that are not specific to a particular country,” Singamsetty said. “We have groups that are oriented just for that, so we give them a chance to showcase more about their club and their culture.”

College of Veterinary Medicine partners with Reitz Animal Shelter JANELLE MARNEY THE COLLEGIAN

After finalizing a deal in January, the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University and the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter have partnered up to help promote animal welfare, provide better care to local animals and help maintain animal populations in Manhattan. Brad Crauer and Alyssa Comroe, clinical assistant professors of shelter medicine at K-State, are two veterinarians who have been working in this partnership prior to its finalization. “I contacted T. Russell four years ago when I initially came on board at K-State to help develop a shelter medicine program,” Crauer said. “At that point in time, our two organizations didn’t line up as far as our mission. Since then, we did have pretty regular dialogue, checking in to see how things were going or where services could be utilized.” Last year, the Reitz Animal Shelter and Crauer exchanged conversations about this partnership. Due to other recent changes at the Reitz Animal Shelter, they determined the time had come for a partnership to form.

The partnership between the animal shelter and the veterinary college was originally planned to be finalized in June 2019. However, the partnership began in January due to the parties involved working at a fast pace ahead of schedule. Crauer said the partnership progressed quickly thanks to the leadership of Deb Watkins, manager at the Reitz Animal Shelter. “Once Deb Watkins started at the first of the year, things were really fast tracked,” Crauer said. “I’ve had a good rapport with Deb since the start.” Although the partnership has already had its start, Comroe said some aspects are still evolving. “Since the animal shelter wanted to elevate the standard for animal care, we don’t just visit once a week like we do with other shelters," Comroe said. "We visit a couple times a week. We are providing all medical care and oversight for the animals at the shelter. We are continuing to implement other protocols and helping manage the animal population." Comroe added that the early start to the partnership has had its drawbacks. "Things are still changing and improving, as we had orig-

inally planned to have the partnership begin in June," Comroe said. "We still need to figure some things out here and there.” Crauer said one key benefit of the partnership between the veterinary college and the animal shelter is to help students in their first, second and third years build up their skills in a variety of areas, including anesthesia, surgery preparation, recovery and assisting hired interns with other medical support. “Having this opportunity will be able to help our students in gaining experience,” Comroe said. “By having a shelter in their own backyard that we hope to eventually have as a model shelter, we can give our students great experiences in observing surgeries, performing physicals and other medical triage.” This goal won't be achieved alone, Comroe added. “Us and T. Russel need support from the Manhattan community,” Comroe said. “In order for us to save more animals, we need our community to step up with fostering, spaying and neutering their own pets since we have an overpopulation problem, and adopting pets.” The Reitz Animal Shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

K-State hosts 40th annual Ed Chartrand Soccer Tournament CODY FRIESEN

Two visitors at Manhattan’s T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter pass their time in the shelter’s kitten room. The shelter recently teamed up with Kansas State’s College of Veterinary Medicine to provide medical care for cats, dogs and many other animals up for adoption.

As part of a tradition going back decades, the Kansas State soccer club hosted the 40th annual Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament in the Manhattan area over the weekend. The tournament featured soccer club teams from K-State, the University of Kansas, Truman State University, Texas A&M, Washington University (women's only), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (men's only) and Creighton University (women's only). Washington ultimately took the women's championship with a 1-0 victory over KU, while Truman State defeated K-State 1-0 to take

the men's championship. Both championship games took place Sunday afternoon. The tournament was co-hosted between K-State, the Chartrand Charitable Foundation and the 1st Infantry, 5th Field Artillery Division of Fort Riley. Ed Chartrand, the tournament's namesake, was a member of the K-State soccer club from 1974 to 1978 during a time where interest in soccer was still growing in the United States. Chartrand helped spread the word about soccer both on the K-State campus as well as colleges throughout the Midwest. Chartrand passed away suddenly at the age of 22 shortly before his graduation from K-State. A year after his death, the K-State

soccer club decided to host an annual memorial tournament in Chartrand's honor. "They decided the best way to honor him would be to continue promoting soccer, so we held a tournament that fall," tournament director Dennis Cook said in a press release. "We only had three teams — K-State, Iowa State and Fort Riley. It was still a lot of work for a bunch of college guys. ... I thought it would be one and done. But with the support of the Chartrand family, generations of soccer players and K-State, this year we celebrate 40 years as one of the top tournaments in the region.”

Pair of Wildcats set personal bests at Woodman Classic event JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State track and field teams were split in two over the weekend, sending a group to both the Woodman Classic in Wichita as well as the Triton Invitational in San Diego. At the Woodman Classic, a pair of K-State athletes set personal bests in the men’s 1,500-meter race on Friday. Junior Keegan Donahue placed fifth in the 1,500 meters with a time of 3:55.47, while freshman Dylan Brenneman ran the event in 3:56.20, earning him sixth place. The times ran by Donahue and Brenneman were the

fastest times by a Wildcat in the event this season. Two more Wildcats placed in the 1,500 meters: junior Noah Stevenson, with 4:06.08 in 34th place, and sophomore Pierce Flanders, with 4:15.70 in 51st place. Also on Friday, junior Anna Keeley finished 27th in the women’s 5,000-meter race with a time of 19:05 flat. This was just seconds off her personal best from the 2017 Emporia State Relays, where she ran the event in 19:02.14. On Saturday, the second day of the two-day event, freshman Parker McCafferty placed in two events for the Wildcats.

In the men’s 100-meter preliminaries, McCafferty placed 12th with a time of 10.99. McCafferty also finished 13th in the men’s 200-meter preliminaries with a time of 22.64. The K-State track and field teams will compete in three more meets this season before they head to the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Oklahoma. The championship meet will be held May 10-12. The next meet for the Wildcats will be on the road at the Michael Johnson Invitational in Waco, Texas, set for Friday and Saturday. This will be the ninth meet of the outdoor portion of the season for the Wildcat teams.

Post-game press conference shows optimistism from the Wildcats CODY FRIESEN

THE COLLEGIAN

Kansas State football hosted its Spring Showcase on Saturday, and the Wildcats brought some excitement to fans during an open practice, as opposed to a true Spring Game like in years prior. K-State fans had the opportunity to hear from the coordinators during the practice

which is an aspect that was extremely limited in the Bill Snyder Era. With a major shift in the coaching staff, it was important to continue to lock down the communication as a team. Head coach Chris Klieman talked about the mentality knowing that fans would be coming to the practice. “We are still getting better every day, so we came out here with the idea that we were go-

ing to practice, there were just more fans here,” Klieman said. Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson shared the expectations of the spring practice from Klieman. “That was Coach Kleiman’s main emphases of the day was to get out here get a lot of reps, have a lot of fun, get in front of the fans, make some plays and come out of here healthy and I think we did that today,” Thompson said.

It appears that Skylar Thompson will be the starting quarterback for the Wildcats in 2019, but Klieman said the competition for the backup is extremely close due to the departure of Alex Delton, who transferred to TCU. The list features redshirt freshman John Holcombe and sophomore Nick Ast, who both received significant reps during the spring showcase during the scrimmage to end the practice.

For the majority of the practice, K-State continued to lock down and improve the performances of the individual positions before switching to split seven-on-seven drills. In the scrimmages, the players who have little Big 12 experience were given the opportunity to get some live reps, and it was a chance for players to get opportunities in different positions. Junior D.J. Render played as a cornerback during the

practice, as Klieman mentioned in a press conference Tuesday. Redshirt freshman Sammy Wheeler was tested at tight end after switching from quarterback. Thompson said he was excited to see his teammate thrive in a new position.

“Ever since he switched over, he has embraced every opportunity," Thompson said. "He makes plays he works, and he has a great attitude." Wheeler capped off the spring showcase with a one-handed catch in the end zone. Klieman praised Wheeler for his willingness to switch and has seen him take advantage of his opportunity. "Tight end is a position that is a need for us and he embraced it," Klieman said. "I'm really impressed ,and he'll be in the mix for us next year." Thompson talked about his progression from the start of spring practices. “I’m really pleased how far I’ve come from day one to right now; it's night and day difference and there is still a long way to go,” Thompson said. "I’m really going to dial it in and get focused this summer and get ready for fall camp, and we are going to be ready to go in the fall, I promise.” There is still a lot of work ahead of K-State before the Wildcats welcome Nicholls State on Aug. 31.

What to expect in the upcoming football season AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

The first glimpse of change for the Kansas State football team was seen at the Spring Showcase on Saturday inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium. With head coach Chris Klieman now at the helm, fans can possibly see a different style of football on Saturdays in Manhattan. Although the coaching staff is different, the Wildcats lost 19 starters and retained 19 starters from last year’s team. The position that probably won’t be changing is the quarterback spot.

seems to be the one with a grasp on the position. He said he feels more comfortable knowing that his team has confidence in him. “My teammates believe in me and trust me and that allows me to go out there and not second guess myself,” Thompson said. “It’s elevated our offense so I’m thankful for that.” Thompson is coming back after playing in 11 of 12 games a year ago and throwing for 1,391 yards, also with had 14 total touchdowns. “His constant ability to want to learn more within the offense has impressed me,” Klieman said. “Our coaches continue to give him more and more information and he’s able to retain. That’s maybe

what impressed me the most about him. We threw everything in the playbook at him, but when we come back in the fall it will all be recalled for him.” However, there is some competition for the spot; freshman John Holcombe is Thompson’s heels. “I like the competition we have at the quarterback spot,” Klieman said. “All of them are doing some special things and learning the system. Skylar has a big advantage because he has played in Big 12 games before.” Klieman also said he likes the transfers that he has got for his team this season. The most noteworthy are sophomore Hunter Rison, who is coming to Man-

hattan from Michigan State University, and James Gilbert, who transferred from Ball State. Both players are competing for a running back spot. “Justin has probably been the most impressive, that’s why he didn’t take as many snaps today,” Kleiman said. “We have great competition, but you’ve got to have a variety of guys, not just one.” A tough guy to replace, K-State senior linebacker Justin Hughes tore his ACL last week, Klieman said, and will miss the entire season.

After winning three events at the Sun Angel Classic in Arizona last weekend, the Kansas State track and field teams had their sights set even higher for the Triton Invitational in San Diego on April 12 and 13, with senior Brett Neelly breaking a 34-yearold school record in the men’s shot put. The women’s team, ranked No. 12 in the nation, had two individuals record personal bests in their respective events. During day one of the meet on Friday, junior Ashley Petr placed 12th in the women’s hammer throw with a distance of 55.41 meters. Petr also competed in the women’s discus,

where she ended with a throw distance of 54.09 meters, which earned her 10th place overall. Sophomores Shaelyn Ward and Taylor Latimer also placed in the women’s hammer throw event. Ward finished 13th with a throw of 54.55 meters and Latimer finished 21st with a distance of 50.66 meters. Latimer competed in the women’s discus open as well, where she threw for a distance of 48.43 meters, placing 11th overall in the event. On Saturday, day two of the meet, junior Cameron Lewis scored two personal bests. Lewis finished 23rd in the men’s hammer throw with a distance of 48.74 meters. In the men’s shot put, Lewis placed seventh

with a throw of 16.06 meters. Finally, the aforementioned Neelly set a new school record in the men’s shot put on his final attempt with a throw of 20.13 meters, beating the 34-year-old record set by former Wildcat Andrew Gillam in 1985 at 19.69 meters. “It feels great,” Neelly said to K-State Sports. “To come out and break a bit of a funk that I have been in and break the school record in a big way means a lot.” Neelly was the first Wildcat athlete to break 20 meters in the men’s shot put, having done so in both indoor and outdoor competitions. Neelly also finished 17th in the men’s discus with a distance of 54.41 meters.

The Kansas State baseball team had a great weekend, and not just because of the spring weather — the Wildcats won a three-game series against the nationally ranked No. 14 Texas Longhorns, winning the first and last games of the series in Austin, Texas. On Friday, the Wildcats stunned the Longhorns with a 6-4 victory. It started with freshman Griffin Hassall, who pitched five innings, giving up just one hit and one earned run. K-State got on the board early with two runs in the first inning, and the Wildcats were able to hang on to the lead for the remainder of the game. Texas got close, earning a run in the third inning to trim the lead to 2-1, but junior Chris Ceballos hit a big two-RBI home run in the sixth inning to extend the Wildcats’ lead to 4-1.

The Longhorns answered in the bottom half of the sixth inning with two runs to make it a one-run game again, 4-3. In the seventh inning, senior Thomas Hughes came through with a two-out clutch hit for the Wildcats to create some distance at a 5-3 lead. Both teams scored a run in the eighth inning, and in the bottom of the eighth, after the Longhorns got their run, junior Chris Ceballos came into the game and retired all six of the Longhorns he faced to secure the Wildcats’ 6-4 upset. On Saturday, in game two of the series, the Longhorns got their revenge in blowout fashion with a 10-2 win. After a scoreless beginning, the second inning was a big inning for the Longhorns, with Texas scoring seven runs to K-State's zero. Four of the Longhorns' runs came from a grand slam. Sophomore Zach Kokoska hit a two-out RBI single in the sixth inning, and junior Caleb Littlejim hit a home run in

the ninth inning to count up the Wildcats’ two runs of the game. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Texas added an insurance run in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to reach double digits on the scoreboard. On Sunday, in the deciding game of the series, the Wildcats pulled out a 2-0 victory to secure the series win. K-State won this game behind the pitching arm of freshman Jordan Wicks, who threw a complete game shutout to leave Texas scoreless. Junior Cameron Thompson got the Wildcats on the scoreboard with a home run on the second pitch of the game in the first inning, and in the fourth inning, Ceballos scored on a safety squeeze bunt by senior Rainer Ausmus. The Wildcats' record is currently 16-21 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12 Conference. Their next action will be a single game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Nebraska, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

It’s time to get off your couch and go for a run — not for fitness, but because an undead monster will chase you out of your living room this week.

As a form of torture, the universe will put you into a situation where you have to hear some nerd explain the entire plot of the “Kingdom Hearts” series in one sitting.

Freshman Sammy Wheeler is a tight end to keep an eye on for next year after a one-handed catch caught many by surprise in Saturday's spring game. He was originally going to be a quarterback, but he came to the coaching staff and wanted to change his position. The defense will have big shoes to fill after eight defensive lettermen did not return. K-State had a top-

five defense in nearly every Big 12 category last year including third in scoring defense, allowing an average of 25 points per game. “We’ve got a number of bodies inside that I like,” Klieman said. “The defensive front is where it starts for us and we’re learning in the secondary.” The Klieman Era will officially start on Aug. 31 when the Wildcats host Nicholls State.

On Saturday, Manhattan celebrated the 10th annual Little Apple Pride festival, beginning with a parade in the morning and taking it all the way into the night with drag queens and kings performing at local bars in Aggieville. Many Manhattan community members and folks from out of town gathered with signs, flags, blankets and other ways to celebrate LGBTQ individuals and the growing affection for Little Apple Pride itself. The festival was held in City Park after a parade through the downtown area along Poyntz Avenue.

SOCCER continued from page

Every year, the Chartrand Charitable Foundation awards a $500 scholarship to a member of the men’s and women’s club soccer teams. Jackson Ralston, senior in animal sciences and industry,

and Morgan Strader, junior in biology and animal sciences and industry, were the 2019 recipients. “It is our mission to expand the opportunities for young soccer players to play quality soccer and be afforded scholarships to assist them in pursuing their education,” Art Chartrand, president of the Chartrand Charitable Foundation, said in a press release.

TENNIS continued from page

As the competition moved into singles play, the Jayhawks comfortably picked up wins, starting at the No. 6 court — KU’s Maria Toran Ribes defeated Gheorghita 6-4, 6-0. The No. 5 singles competition followed next, with junior Ines Mesquita falling to Khmelnitckaia 6-1, 6-2.

The No. 1 court was also a victory for the Jayhawks, with the No. 26 ranked singles player in the country, KU’s Anastasia Rychagova, beating Linares 6-2, 6-1. The rest of the singles matches were very close, but the Wildcats were not able to capitalize on any momentum. On the No. 2 court, K-State’s Turco battled it out with Koch, the No. 96 ranked singles player in the

U.S., but lost in a third-set tiebreaker 6-3, 2-6, 11-9. In No. 3 singles, Decker was defeated by KU’s Plobrung Plipuech 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). The last singles match of the day, No. 4 singles, was between freshman Karine-Marion Job and KU’s Sonia Smagina. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Smagina grabbed the win with a score of 6-4, 7-6 (73).
