KU has only 1 winner at Drake
By GARY VICE Sports Writer
Victory eluded the Jayhawk track team this weekend at the Drake Relays until KU's mile relay squad edged Jackson State at the tinker 3:09 in 5 win the meet's final event.
The mile relay奏quet of Nolan Cromwell, Waddell Smith, Jay Wagner and Danny Lowe. They are the squid able to defend their championship won last season at the final stop of the Midlands relays circuit. KU also won the 400 mph last year at the 68th annual Drake Rails.
The mile relay, run at the conclusion of a cold rainy day in Des Moines, gave the Jayhawks their 133rd relays triumph ever, in the Texas-Kansas-Drake baton circuit.
sensor, anchor man on the mile relay squad, said, "Anytime you win the mile relay at the end it makes the whole meet worthwhile. It was a good mile relay."
KANSAS HEAD COACH Bob Timmons said the poor weather conditions hurt KU's performances, but he was pleased with KU's showing.
"They had an awful day up there Saturday," Timmons said. "It was terribly cold, which affected us I’m sure, but we had a lot of people coming in, event, but we had a lot of people placing."
"You have to realize there were a lot more teams at this meet than in Kansas or Texas and the intensity of the competition was greater. Considering the loss of our two teams, Willie Wiley and Kevin Newell for NCAA violation) we did really well on the relay circuit."
One of the major reasons for Kansas' success was their strength in the weight events. The shot put trio Jim Pobrebarac, Rudy Guevara and Steve Stone finished 2-3-4 and javelin throwers Mark Kostek and Roger Hamdan grabbed fourth and fifth.
GUEVARA, WHO WAS THAD with a 58-9% tos, said he felt he was nearly recovered from a sore ankle which has hampered him most of this season.
"It's coming around for me now," he said. "I was kind of surprised wed throw that well in the cold Saturday. Those were the meet, we met." We were throwing in pouring rain. "We were throwing in pouring rain."
Pobrebarac, a junior, threw 59-7 for second place and Stone, a senior, was fourth.
Hammond, whose 223-2-1 cost in the javelin
placements him into Neyland's 204-4-2 effort,
also scored a goal.
"The runway was pretty muddy when we had to throw which made it slippery. We ought to pick up in the future. I don't think we're throwing up to par yet."
IN THE 4000 intermediate hurdles, Cromwell passed up his opportunity to compete for a run at the team to run in the open competition. The Jayhawks' track and football star was outcured at the tape by American record holder Todd Mann. 50.99 to 50.11
benson, team cocapain, finished second in the 600 dash behind long-time rival Mark Collins of Baylor. Benson, timed in 46.33, hadn't expected to compete in the event until another runner dropped from the field, leaving the opportunity open for him.
Benson said that he had been out too fast with Collins, the winner in 6.01, and didn't bother to try the race again.
"WE BOTH RAN all out 330's," the defending Big Eight champion said, "when he went on by me and there was nothing I could do." He said of where I should have been at the end.
Freshman Anthony Coleman, champion in the 110 high hurdles last week at the Kansas Relays, was third in that event in 13.94.

Together and individually, the two University of Kansas roommates dominated the tournament, leading KU to an upset championship over Stephens College and the Big Eight champions, Oklahoma.

in what tournament director and KU
in women's tennis coach Tom Kivisto called
a "perfect draw," No. 1 seed Dakai beat
the winner of the Lopez for the
single title, 3-5, 6-0, 6-1.
KU TOPPED THE 19 schools entered with 32 points. Stephens was run-up with 22%. Oklahoma, the defending Missouri team, ousted Oklahoma State for third-22.
"I knew we could get to the finals," Lopez said. "It was fun, but it was a harder match. It was just a different game. I knew it could be way, but she (Daikai) played well."
ON SATURDAY, the No. 2 seeded doubles
team of Dakusa and Loper overcame a
first set to beat Oklahoma State's double
scores in Cunningham and Las Barry,
1-6, 4-6, 2-4.
But it wasn't just the play of his two ace athletes that excited Kivito. All six of KU's players won their first round matches, giving Kansas six easy points.
"The they played the best tennis of their life," Klivisto said. "Each player contributed. It was an amazing game, that final win she had four people. Marlaine Cook was defeated by Margaret Teague (of Drake) the No. 2 seed, and Tracy Spellman the No. 1 seed, both from Southwest Missouri State University."
THAT GAVE KU three of the top eight spots in the fifth round.
But the draw forced Lopez to play the No. 2 seed, while Dakale easily defeated the No. 3 seed Sylvia Noster of Stephens College in the other six round.
The single title was justicing on the cake Kansas couldn't lose.
Rain either washed away or halted Kansas' other two matches. The Eastern Kentucky match was canceled and the team tussled over the teams' required 3-all after singles.
The Jayhawks completed only one match during the tourney and lost it, 6-3, to Southern Illinois, whom they had beaten earlier this spring.
KU will try to bounce back against OT
at 8 p.m. today on the Allen Field
House.
