Kansas State University’s Wildcat Rocketry team made history at the 2025 Argonia Cup by taking first place in the national collegiate rocketry competition and breaking a world record. K-State’s student team is the first from Kansas to win the competition – this year from among 20 collegiate teams – and the club’s competition rocket, “Purple Horizon,” broke the previous world record for altitude on a commercial- staged L-impulse rocket, reaching 35,439 feet and a maximum speed of 1,050 miles per hour.
