Brant Willoughby turns 10 today, and he, with many other children sitting beside him in Section 23 of the arena, were participating in K-State's Junior Wildcat Club on Sunday. The Junior Wildcat Club is an organization sponsored by the KSU Alumni Association. Brant and his mother, Linda Willoughby, traveled from Minneapolis, Kan., to meet K-State athletes, including members of the men's basketball team, who were warming up to play the Colorado Buffaloes.
Brant is a third-year member of the club.
He said Sunday he enjoys getting autographs from K-State athletes, and his mother enjoys giving him that experience. He stayed and waited until everybody had been signed. He was the last one to leave. He was really, really nice to everybody, and he treated the kids so well. Ashlee Erickson is a first-year member from Olathe, Kan.
