Javhawks place third at Big 8
By KEN STONE
Associate Sports Editor
Coach Dick Reamon didn't make any excuses for his University of Kansas swim team's third place finish at the Big Eight championships ending Saturday at Ames, town.
"We have nothing to apologize for," said Reamon, whose team had just lost its first
sports
Big Eight title since 1867 "We were just the third best team there."
Iowa State and Oklahoma were the two better teams. The Cyclones won the title with 394 points. The Sooners finished second with 388. KU was third, scoring 297 points.
They may have been third, but the Jayhawks were also sick, injured and unlucky. And they were in trouble from the start.
AFTER THURSDAY'S EVENTS, Kansas was in fourth place. Senior Gary Kempf and junior Ben Wagener, both suffering from cancer, together contributed just three points.
Kempf salvaged a 10th place in the 500- yard freestyle, while Wagoner, the defending champion in the 260 individual event, was out of the preliminaries in that event.
Freshman Jessie Gray "was going like a bat out of hell" in the 50 freestyle before he was disqualified when he hit a lane maker, Reamor said.
And although divers Mark Hill and Tom
Anagnos, a freshman walk-on, captured
the action as the boat plunged into the
sea.
"IKNKE WE were just completely out of it after Thursday," said a sleepy-sounding Reason yesterday. "We just dug a hole for ourselves."
board, KU found itself too far behind after the first day's events.
Despite the deficit, KU charged back on Friday with a first place performance by Gray and thirds by David Estes and Tom Compton.
Shattering his previous best by five seconds, Gray swam, according to Reamon, in nearly perfect race*, winning one of four times. Clocked in 1:42.52 for the 200 freestyle.
Estes led four KU swimmers with his third place finish in the 400 individual medley in the 1996 team in Iowa where Mike Wagner, Wagoner in 19th and Gordon Dockie with an 12th place finish.
COMPTON'S THIRD IN the 100 breaststroke was just a second ahead of teammate Jade Blankenship. They swam for times of 15, 20 and 30 seconds, but took eighth in that race with a 1:01.73.
year had suffered a knee injury, couldn't score in the 200 freestyle.
Except for Compton's victory in the 200 breaststroke, which set a Big Eight record of 2.09:17. Saturday wasn't too successful, either.
HILL, FAVORED TO improve his second-place three-meter divefinish of last year, fell to 10th place in that event. Paul Sweeney took fourth and Anagnos eighth.
"We were relieved that we all was over with," Reason said. "I don't think we showed everything we could have if we were there, but I didn't show the rifles, the rifles, and I don't want to make excuses."
Kemp; and Wagoner, however, still were having their sickness troubles on Friday.
One consolation for KU after analyzing the team's performance, Reamon said, was the success of the freshmen, who showed the team has good future. The freshmen scored 140 of the team's 297 points, Reamon said.
Following Iowa State, Oklahoma and Kansas, were Missouri (274), which had taken over to waid more earlier in the season. Colorado Oklahoma State (209) and Nebraska (115).
Kansas will enter only three swimmers in the NCAA championships later this month.
NCAA berth eludes K-State
KANSAS CITY (AP)--Missouri, the Big Eight basketball champions for 1975-78, will be the only conference representative in the NCAA tournament.
The Kansas State Wildcats, runners up to Missouri, had been hoping for an at-large berth. However, the NCAA announced that its players would be given the berth that Kansas State had眼ed.
The Wildcats finished 13-1 in the con-
ference and 90-1 overall. DePaul of
Chicago finished 8-2.
