So when a seven-member KU women's track team competes tomorrow in conference championships at Ames, Iowa, KU coach Curtis Brown guided Hamilton, graduate assistant for the team.
Spinters and hurdlers dominate KU's
two returning players "Jeremy" and "Jason"
poorly.
"THE TOP TWO teams will be Iowa State and K-State," Hamilton said yesterday. "They'll be competing between themselves. We'll be competing against Colorado, Tennessee and Mississippi. Every Big Eight school will except Oklahoma and Oklahoma State."

Running the 100- and 220-yard dashes for Kansas will be freshmen standouts Sheila Calmese and Celissa Russell. Both are coming off injuries, however. Calmese had a strained leg muscle and Russell hurt her knee.
Freshman Sheri Lanter and sophomore Connie Lane will run the other two relay legs and double in the 440-yard and 110-meter hurdles.
Lane, who also is entered in the high jump, placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdle later. Lanter, the KU record holder (5.60.5) is considered a favorite for first place.
ANOTHER TITLE FAVORITE is Jessie
Riddle, the runner up in the league meet last
year, who, according to Hamilton, "will definitely place in the shot."
Improving freshman long jumper Adrian Mitchell and discus-javelin throw Dawn Carney.
Gary Pepin, KU women's track coach,
will remain in Lawrence for the men's track
dual meet against KState. so Hamilton,
a former KU long jumper now training for the
Olympic Trials, will be the only one
accompanying the small team to Ames.
"Yeah," Hamilton agreed, "it's very small. We've had a couple injuries and things, but we thought this group could do the job."

The rivailry should be heightened by the Wildcat's upset victory over the Jayhawks in the Big Eight Indoor Championships earlier this year. K-State's crew took advantage of several Jayhawk mishaps to edge KU. $4,52; for the conference title.
HEAD COACH BOB Timmons analyzed what
chawka will need to do to beat
Hawks.
"We'll have to hope we can offset their strengths in the middle and long distance events, but we will not perform to our potential in the spring events, the relays and events like the steeplechase and shot put, we can compensate for their advantages in other
TIMMONSAID, 'TMY anious to see how we'll do against K-State because undoubtedly they'll be one of the favorites at the conference meet.
The Wildcats have two outstanding milers in Keith Palmer and Jeb Schennel, and the national 600-yard run champion in Bob Prince. Schemell, a sub-four-minute mile, anchored K-State's victorious four-mile relay team at the Drake Relays.
"We'll be running the same events tomorrow as in the conference meet, which is important because we haven't been able to with the relay circuit going on."
The KU track men talked confidently
Bill Lundberg, team co-captain, said,
"There's no telling what could happen with
good weather. If the weather is nice you
do a great job. If it's bad competition itself, something you go after.
You perform your best when the weather is
good."
about winning the meet yesterday as they practiced under a rare day of sunshine.
JAVELIN THROWER MARK Kostek agreed, saying, "I hope we get good weather because we need good conditions to get off some top throws. With all the rain we had in the relay circuit, we haven't been able to make any chances yet. And we need to be lonel."
Jim Podebrabac, the Big Eight's leading
leader in the league, has scored 53
State League challenges against KU in the spot put-
up.
"We can be in our deadbed and beat K-State in the shot," he said. "Maybe we should throw left-banded, but they still wouldn't have a chance."
The Jayhawks feature the nation's only trio of shot putters who have cleared 68-feet this year in Podrebara, Rudy Guevara and Steve Stone.
POLE VAULTER TAD Scales, a Lawrence nainte, said he was ready to return to competition after being stifled during injury he suffered in a spill on his motorcycle.
"Yeah, for this meet IT'll be ready," the AM-Australia vaulter said. "I've got a lot of friends on the K-State team, but you've got to pity them. They can't help it being what they are. You've just got to take care of them and put them back in their place."
On a more serious note, Podrebarek had good guys, but they can get a lot of second
