Kansas also has thirteen athletes in the Drake Relays Hall of Fame, the third highest among NCAA schools. Athletes on this year's team who have a shot at the hall of fame include two-time All-American sophomore Scott Russell, three-time All-American senior Candy Mason and two-time All-American sophomore Andrea Branson. Russell, who has qualified for the NCAA Championships in both the javelin and the hammer throw, won the javelin at Drake last year with a throw of 232-6. It was the fourthlongest throw in school history, but Russell has already thrown farther twice this year. "I like going to meets like Drake and Mt. SAC because I know that the quality of throwers there will be outstanding," Russell said. He also broke a 28-year-old school record in the hammer throw with a toss of 213-7 earlier this season. Branson, who placed 13th in the pole vault last year, set a school record this year with a vault of 13-1 1/2. It broke the record set by Mason last year. Mason also vaulted 12-7 last weekend at Mt. SAC. Both vaulters are ranked on the top ten in the pole vault. Mason will also compete in the heptathlon. Other athletes who come into the relays on a roll include Bulat, whose mark of 167-5 in the javelin is the fourth best in school history. in which she is ranked third after setting a new Big 12 Conference record in March. "I'm just throwing meet by meet, hoping to get in a good throw every time," she said. Senior Kevin McGinn's time of 3:49.14 in the 1,500 meters at Mt. SAC was a personal best, while sophomore Charlie Gruber, ran the 800 meters in 1:49.02, the sixth fastest time in school history. Hurdler Eric Patterson ran a 14.34 in the 110-meter hurdles, his best time of the season, and Dave Tomlin's time of 21.46 in the 200 meters was his best of the year. - Edited by Jason Pearce Softball team to play four this weekend Kansas two baseman Amy Hulse buits University of Missouri-Kansas City player Ambrette Jaywalk to the bag and "turns two" to make the double play.

Photo by Christina Neff | KANSAN Texas and Texas A&M to visit for doubleheaders By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan scripter The Kansas softball team has a chance to go from eighth to fourth in the Big 12 conference this weekend when it plays host to Texas and Texas A&M in two doubleheaders at jawhawk Field. The Jayhawks are coming off Wednesday's 15-3 rout of Southwest Missouri State where they set a new school record for hits with 20. The team also knocked in the second most runs in school history, and its nine runs in the third innere was the second most in school history. Chances are the Jayhawks won't put up similar numbers Saturday against 11th- ranked Texas. The Jayhawks likely will face junior Crysta Williams, one of the nation's top pitchers, in Game One. Williams, who played for the 1996 U.S. Olympic team, currently leads the Big 12 in ERA (0.78), strikeouts (245) and opposing team's batting average (.125). She is also second in wins with 18. Kansas won one and lost two to Texas last season with both losses coming against Williams. The Jayhawks scored just one run on three hits against her, but Bunge remains optimistic. "We played Texas really well last year," she said. "Williams has made the comment that she doesn't like to face us." Freshman catcher Leah Tabb will be facing Williams for the first time Saturday. "I'm looking forward to batting against her," Tabb said. "I like to hit against better pitching. It seems like more of a challenge." Freshman Shelly Musser broke out of her slump against Southwest Missouri State, finishing 4 for 8. Musser said she has a plan for facing Williams. her." "She has the same pitching style as one of the girls I faced all summer," Musser said. "I'll be using some of the same strategies I learned on Kansas (23-24) will face No. 18 Texas A&M on Sunday. The Aggies are in a three-way tie for fifth in the conference. Kansas is in eighth place, but can move into fourth by splitting with Texas and sweeping Texas A&M. "We need to go 3-1," Bunge said. "Obviously we'd like to win all four games, but 3-1 is a reasonable goal."

The Kansas women's golf team beat the weather at the Big 12 Conference Championships this week in Boulder, Colo., but the Jayhawks couldn't quite beat the competition. Oklahoma State won the team competition by shooting a three-round score of 906. The Cowgirls and Texas A&M, who finished The Jayhawks, and the rest of the Big 12, avoided a pre-tournament storm and played under great conditions. After finishing the first day of competition in sixth place, the Jayhawks slipped to finish in 11th place. "The kids jerry well," Kansas Coach Jerry Waugh said. "Our goals weren't to set a specific place to finish. This season we wanted to try to improve with each tournament, and by and and Texas are fourth, were the only two teams to break 300 in a single round. Waugh said that Kansas routinely shot between 310 and 315, and the Jayhawks shot 310 and 314 in the first two rounds before slipping in the final round, shooting a 327. "Overall, I feel we played a good tournament," Waugh said. "Every team played well in this tournament, and we had to play the best we ever had to stay in the hunt." Freshman Ashley Lowery said that she thought the Jayhawks began the tournament well, but that they could not quite keep up with the rest of the field. "The second day we really needed to play well, and we played consistent, but not well enough to stay with everyone." she said. Oklahoma State senior won the individual crown in a playoff, after finishing in a three-way tie with Wendy Martin of Oklahoma and Brooke Lancewrence of Texas Tech. Kansas was led individually by senior Mandy Munsch, who, barring an individual invitation to the North-West Regional, finished her career with her fourth top-20 finish of the spring season. Her score of 230 was good enough for a tie for 16th place. Her first round score of 74 had put her in fourth place, and that score was the lowest one-round total for the Jayhawks. "Mandy played very well, and that's the one ratifying thing for seniors — to go out with a good performance." Waugh said. Also competing for Kansas was junior Susan Tessary, who shot a 238 and finished in 41st place. Lowery finished one stroke behind Tessary for 44th place, but she felt she could have placed much higher. "I did okay on the first day, and I hit the ball well, but my putting was terrible," she said. Sophomore Ashely Bishop tied for 54th place with a three-round tally of 246, and junior Carrie Padden finished in 56th place with a score of 247. — Edited by Jodi Smith Juccers Showgirls Wednesdays are free with student ID 928 Mass. 843-0611 Free Admission on your birthday Open everyday at 6:30 to 2 a.m. 841-4122 913 N.
