TENNIS Players travel to Florida for last fall tournament
SWIMMING Swimmers compete in dual meets at home
The Kansas swimming and diving team will play host to the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Robinson Natatorium after playing host to the Arkansas Razorbacks in a dual competition yesterday.
Scott Toland
The Jayhawks are hoping to continue improving after getting off to a solid start this season. Kansas opened with a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 19 and a victory at Northern Iowa before falling to the Missouri Tigers in its first Big 12 meet of the season. Several records already have been broken by Kansas swimmers, and two divers already have qualified for the postseason NCAA Zone "D" Diving meet.
The Kansas tennis team will wrap up its schedule of fall tournaments this weekend at the Seminole invitational at Florida State University. The team will compete in a field featuring players from Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, New Mexico and other Florida
schools.
The team already has turned in impressive performances this fall and expects more of the same this weekend. Kansas players will compete in three flights of singles play as well as doubles. The doubles draw features the 36th ranked pair of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and Junior Edina Horvath. The duo is 5-3 in fall tournaments including a runner-up finish at the Cissie Leary Tournament earlier this year.
Sophomore Kunigunda Dorn and junior Yuliana Svistun and freshmen duo Mymee Tokuda and Maria Martinez also will pair up for the doubles draw.

The novice team, which has been training for the last 2 1/2 months will get a chance to break the ice and compete in their first race, the Frostbite Regatta on Saturday in Philadelphia.
The varsity squad, led by seniors Alia Bober and Kara Boston, are looking for success in a number of races. Boston, who competed in the Head of Chattahoochee last year, won the doubles race. This season, Bober and Boston will team up to compete in the doubles race at Chattahoochee.

CRIME
Tennis star Martina Hingis tests positive for cocaine
She read a statement ending with the vow, "I have never taken drugs," then left immediately.
In an out-of-nowhere end to Martina Hingis' comeback, the five-time Grand Slam champion revealed Thursday she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon and will retire for a second time rather than fight what she called a "horrendous" accusation.
WTA Tour chief executive Larry Scott said he recently found out about Hingis' doping test from the player's representatives — word had not reached him through official channels because it's an ongoing case in which a hearing has yet to be held.
"I am frustrated and angry," the 27-year-old Hings said at a news conference in Zurich, Switzerland, her voice breaking as she fought back tears. "I believe that I am absolutely, 100 percent innocent."
Although Hingis said she was retiring in part because she doesn't want to spend years dealing with the legal process, Scott said he expected the case to continue.
She said she hired an attorney who found "various inconsistencies" with the urine sample.
"He is also convinced that the doping officials mishandled the process and would not be able to prove that the urine that was tested for cocaine actually came from me," she said.
Hingis tested positive June 29, the day she fell out of the tournament.
