Jayhawk swimmers to open against Gophers
By Tom Erickson
Kansan sportswriter
Minnesota men's swimming coach Dennis Dale says he knows a No. 21 ranking in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America poll is no excuse for overlooking the Kansas men's team.
And when the two teams meet at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Minnesota Dual, he doesn't plan to use his team's No.8 ranking as an advantage.
This makes the sixth consecutive year that the Jayhawks and Golden Gophers have met on the men's side. Minnesota leads Kansas 6-2 overall in dual meets.
"We have never taken Kansas lightly," Dale said. "It is my belief that Kansas is overlooked in the rankings, and I don't know why. They are a very well-coached team."
The women's teams also will compete tomorrow. Golden Gopher women's coach Jean Freeman said her No. 18 team was not taking the meet with the No. 22 Jayhawks light-
1v.
"All season we have said that this is the beginning of being truly tested," she said.
Both Minnesota squads recently spent vacation time in Hawaii to get away from the cold of the Twin Cities and to focus on the second half of the season. The men's team also had a chance to meet with teams from Hawaii and Dartmouth while on the islands.
Competing in the Big Ten Conference, which both coaches say is one of the toughest in the country, is a big part of Freeman's and Dale's current focus.
The Golden Gophers have never won a conference championship in Freeman's tenure at the school.
"The Big Ten is extremely competitive," Freeman said. "The highest we've been is second and the lowest is sixth. Michigan already has first sewed up. There are six teams fighting for second and six Big Ten schools that are ranked. Our goal is to be third."
Kim Wilson and Olga Splichalova both freshmen distance swimmers, are the strongest on the women's side for Minnesota, Freeman said. Splichalova has already made NCAA consideration times in the 500 and 1650 freestyle races.
Other Golden Gophers to watch are Jessica Grass in the 200 butterfly and Tanya Schuh in the butterfly and sprints.
P. K. Bogart, Bernie Zerhuh, Paul Domer and Derek Williams probably are the best men's team members, Dale said.
Bogart took first place in platform diving at the NCAA championships two years ago, and Williams is ranked No.11 in the world in the 100 butterfly.
Perhaps the most exciting swimmer on the men's team is Manolis Lentaris, a middle-distance freestyle from Turkey, Dale said. Lentaris came to Portland, Ore., last year as a foreign exchange student and has stayed in the United States to compete for Minnesota.
