📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The Need … The Need For Speed. The witnesses don't remember the exact mile time that Kellyn (Johnson) Taylor—part of the 2025 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class to be inducted on Saturday, Jan. 18—ran that day in the Heskett Center. They do remember it went well, though, as it was better than their highest expectations for the new arrival from junior college.

"She blew everybody away," said Marc Burns, former Wichita State cross country coach, who remembers her running around 4:48, about 10 seconds faster than previously.
