Addressing the Catbackers for the First Time as Head Coach

He saunters through the west parking lot doors of the West Ridge Mall in Topeka, Kansas, wearing his black Kansas State Ring of Honor polo shirt, gray slacks, and bearing smiles and hearty handshakes for the first dozen or so awaiting purple-clad greeters near the glass doors. He arrives at 5:54 p.m. for the 6:00 p.m. Topeka Catbackers event. For 17 years, Cat Time has been a part of his mantra.

The Time is Now

For the 2025-26 Kansas State women's golf team, the time is now. On Monday, K-State head coach Stew Burke, who took a veteran K-State team to its first-ever National Championship a year ago, brings the youngest team at K-State to the 2026 NCAA Louisville Regional — a defiant bunch of Wildcats out to prove that they're better than a No. 7 seed in the regional — to compete against the likes of No. 1 seed Arkansas, No. 2 seed Auburn, and No. 3 seed and Big 12 Champion Iowa State.

Antoine’s Mentality Allowed Him to Overcome Adversity

A deep monotone voice on the other end of the phone dips even deeper and finally fades away like that wind that whispers along the white sand beaches at Trinidad in May, back where Aaron Antoine ran and jumped and brought joy to the dual-island Caribbean nation near Venezuela, its people spying elite potential early in his youth, and cheering his name as he grew to 6-foot-8 by age 16, and as he stood above the rest, on this independent, sovereign country entranced by this youthful hero, so entrenched in track and field, a young man with the body and voice of an adult, and skills of an Olympian, who today, just a little while away from the 2026 Big 12 Outdoor Championships, has a story to tell.
