Early loss won't faze'Hawks

The 168-132 loss to the nationally ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers does not have the Kansas swimming and diving team discouraged. In fact, the Jayhawks couldn't be more excited to see where the 2005-2006 season will take them, said sophomore Terri Schramka.
An analysis by Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell following the Minnesota dual meet disclosed that the team is ahead of where it was at this point last year.
"We are, as far as a team, already as we were at the end of last year, and we are substantially better." Campbell said.
"The meet starts out as a fun meet, but when all of the coaches and swimmers are together, it becomes very competitive." Campbell said. "There is so
Despite the excitement of the Jayhawks' positive beginning to the dual-meet season, they must remain tough going into this weekend's events. The team faces back-to-back meets Friday and Saturday. It will travel to Columbia, Mo., Friday to compete in the all-day Big 12 Relays meet at Missouri.
Although all of the Big 12 Conference teams with a swimming and diving team will be present, Campbell said he would not focus as much on the competition within the Conference as he would on his team.
Campbell said the relay meet was a good opportunity to do a lot of videotaping to isolate camera time on individual Kansas swimmers for stroke analysis. Kansas does not get the opportunity to videotape at every meet.
Campbell said.
In addition to benefiting from the video footage, Kansas will get the opportunity to acclimate to Missouri's pool, the site of the 2005-2006 Big 12 Conference Championships in February.
"The pool at Mizzou is new, and we are looking to reach our potential and get comfortable and excited in their pool."
end for the Jayhawks.
Following Friday's relay meet in Columbia, Mo., Kansas will head to Kirksville, Mo., for a dual meet against Truman State, which has won five consecutive Division II National Championships.
Campbell recognized that the back-to-back meets would be physically challenging.
"We've got to get used to back-to-back meets because that's how championship meets are formatted." Campbell said. "We need to bounce back and race our best, because Truman State is looking to knock off a Division I team."
Schramka said the fatigue would not be an issue this week-
"Our program strives to prepare us during practice; we work hard so that when back-to-back meets come, we're prepared," Schramka said.
The Jayhawks last faced the Bulldogs Jan. 21, 2005, at Robinson Natatorium, and came on top 177-103.
"It is a serious challenge to us that they're at home in their pool." Campbell said. "When you win national championships, you don't have any weaknesses."
The Truman State dual meet will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday following the all-day Big 12 relay meet on Friday.

SOCCER
Senior's hat trick helps her earn Big 12 honors
For the second time in her Kansas career, senior forward Jessica Smith was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Smith's play in the last week sparked a turning point in the Jayhawks' season.
Her first collegiate hat trick against Oklahoma State last Friday helped push her squad to a 4-1 victory against the Cowgirls.
She struck again in the second game of the weekend, adding number two of three goals against the Oklahoma Sooners in a 3-0 victory on Sunday.
After a slow start to her senior season, Smith has said her abundance of offense is a "sigh of relief" and has since shown no signs of letting up.
As the second Jessica to be named to the 2005 Big 12 player of the week list - Jessica Bush was named earlier this season - Smith now has nine points on the season.
Her team heads to Lubbock, Texas, this weekend to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders before facing off against the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo., this Sunday.
