🌾 ONE BIG THING

This Shocker track and field athlete can now add ‘National Champion’ to his resume.

Yuben Goncalves finished first place in the 400-meter hurdles in the Portuguese Championships with a time of 51.19. After completing his last race of the season, Goncalves will return to Wichita more accomplished than when he left.
