It's fun to watch kids that actually know the fight song more than their ABC's. It's very impressive that they're really excited to see Willy and the Classy Cats and the cheerleaders. Heather Lansdowne, assistant director for the Alumni Records Local Agency at K-State, said she believes there's value in the Junior Wildcats. It's really fun to watch. Sometimes the parents are really wanting to get those autographs, too.
Members come from all over the state.
Only about 10 to 20 percent are from the Manhattan area. Most of the kids are 8 to 9 years old, and their parents are typically people who like K-State and support athletics. The assumption most people make is that they're all kids of alumni and all from Manhattan, and that's not the case. Student Publications Inc. All rights reserved.
