An afternoon spring breeze rattles the blinds in a Jayhawk Tower apartment. Ali Brox is napping peacefully, her English book laying open on the desk nearby.

"Tell them I'll call him later," she says in muffled, run-together words.

"Some reporter wants to do a story about you," her roommate says.
It isn't the first time sports have interrupted Brox's daily life, and it certainly won't be the last.
If Brox's name sounds familiar, it may be because the Shawnee sophomore scored three points and
Year-round athlete vies for win with rowers
The phone suddenly rings and she glances up out of the side of her pillow.
grabbed a rebound against the Butler Bulldogs Dec. 5 at Allen Fieldhouse. If Ali Brox doesn't ring any bells, it could be because those are her only career statistics — walkons don't tend to grab much playing time on a Top 25 women's basketball team.
"I knew my games were going to be during
As she was sitting around Ellsworth Hall during the first two weeks of her freshman year, Brox learned that a group of students in her hall planned on trying out for the rowing team. She had never rowed before, but couldn't picture herself not playing a sport. So Brox decided to give it a try.
Brox: Walk-on for Kansas basketball and varsity rower
As she had feared, she didn't make the basketball team. Instead, she spent the year on the novice rowing team gaining experience.
practice for the most part," she said. "I've lived in Kansas my whole life and dreamed about being a Jayhawk. It was a great experience."
Brox was the only walk-on who played for the women's team last season.
But Brox's athletic year hasn't finished yet, and now, she's not relegated to the sidelines.
Her true love was basketball, but she didn't know if she was good enough to walk on to the Javahawk team her freshman year.
Last fall, Brox earned a seat in a varsity boat, but told rowing coach Rob Catloth she was going to give basketball one more shot.
She also is a member of the varsity rowing team. A team that is attempting to qualify for its first NCAA Women's Rowing Championship in only its fourth year as a varsity sport.
"It was tough learning a new sport, but I really began to enjoy it," she said.
The Jayhawks will travel to Madison, Wis., this weekend to compete against 21 schools in the Midwest Association of Rowing Colleges Championships. Kansas was ranked No. 24 in this week's national coaches' poll, and could move into the top 20.
Coach was very understanding; she said. With a good couple days of tryouts, Brox quickly found herself committed to year-round athletics. The fall rowing season ended and she reported to the basketball team, which already had begun practice. Then, after a grueling hoops schedule, she had two weeks of relaxation before heading to New Orleans with the rowing team at spring break.
Fifteen schools qualify for the Rowing Championships in Sacramento, Calif., which are from May 28 to 31. Those who don't receive bids will vie for spots in another tournament, the Lexus Cup, May 21-23 in Tennessee.
During her high school career, Brox played softball and basketball, and ran cross-country at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School.
"We feel very confident," said Shana Burton, Menona, Iowa, senior, who rows in the varsity four with Brox. "We're putting nationals in the back of our minds. That's our goal, but we just have to concentrate on rowing well."
