Kansas track teams set for Big 12 Championship
The Kansas track teams have spent the last four months in preparation for this weekend.
By Mike Miller
Kansan sportswriter
Competing in the Big 12 Indoor Championships today and tomorrow will provide an opportunity for the athletes to measure their ability against the rest of the best.
Coming off one of their strongest performances of the season last week at the Kansas Invitational, both squads want to capitalize on individual performances.
"The other meets were important, but it all comes down to this one," senior Kevin McGinn said.
Sophomore All-American Scott Russell has been the men's team's top athlete this season, winning the 35-pound weight throw competition in four meets. He also has won the shot put twice and has qualified for the NCAA Championships in both events.
Currently ranked fifth in the nation in the weight throw, Russell is the favorite going into the Indoor Championships.
Jabari Wamble will compete against arguably the toughest and deepest field in the meet. Junior sprinter Dave Tomlin has performed well lately, placing second in the 55-meter dash and fourth in the 200-meter dash last week.
"I if throw anywhere near what
"I'm capable, I'll win the thing,"
Senior pole-vaulter Colby Miller, who won last week and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships, is ranked 10th in the nation.
The Jayhawks also will need strong performances from middle distance runners McGinn and sophomore Charlie Gruber, who both have three wins this season. Gruber is equally proficient in the 800 meter and the 1,000 meter runs, while McGinn will focus on winning the mile run.
Sophomore 400-meter runner
Sophomore hurdler Eric Patterson also has run well lately, rebounding from a disappointing sixth place finish two weeks ago. He finished in a season-best 7.53 seconds to win the 55-meter hurdles last week.
Senior triple-jumper Lester Smith, who has won twice this season and has provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships, is ranked 11th.
The men also will rely on four more athletes ranked in the top 20 in their respective events to score valuable team points.
"LATE NIGHT' SPECIAL DELIVERED AFTER 9PM
Russell said.
Pole-vaulters Andrea Branson, sophomore All-American, and Shannon Agee, freshman, will lead the way on the women's side, providing the Jayhawks with two top-20 athletes.
Branson, with a season-best 12 feet 3/4 inches ranks 11th in the nation. Agee is close behind, ranked 19th with a vault of 11 feet 11/4 inches.
Coach Gary Schwartz said he was pleased with his team's performance last week and was optimistic about this weekend.

'Hawks drop one in Phoenix

The Kansas baseball team played its first of a four game weekend series in Phoenix, Ariz. yesterday.

gone weekend in the valley. So far, the Valley of the Sun isn't looking favorable for the team, which lost 10-1 in its series opener against he Nevada Wolf Pack.
The loss dropped the team's record to 2-2.
Junior left-hander Pete Smart replaced Call in the fourth inning and lasted only one and one-third innings.
While the Jayhawks only scored one run, they were not without their opportunities. The team stranded 14 runners, a number far too high for Coach Bobby Randall's liking.

In the game, starting pitcher Colin Call pitched three and two-thirds innings and gave up six runs. Only two of the runs were earned, but Call was not in control of the game.
Lawrence freshman, Jeff Davis, replaced Smart in the sixth, and was greeted rudely by the Wolf Pack. His first pitch was launched out of the park for a Nevada home run, giving the Wolf Pack a 3-1 lead.

Junior Rusty Philbrick, who won his lone start this season, will take the mound for the Jayhaws today.
"Now we're going to have to pick our heads up, regroup and go play a good ball game tomorrow," Randall said.
The game will mark the team's first ever meeting with the Tigers and precedes tomorrow's rematch with Nevada.
The Jayhawks will face Northwestern at 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
Despite the disappointing loss, Randall said that the team must regroup and come back ready to play at noon today, when they face Pacific University.
The women's tennis team lost 5-4 to Mississippi last night in the first round of the Women's National Indoor Team Tennis Championships in Madison, Wis.
The Jayhawks were the first team to score against Mississippi this season. The Rebels shutout five other teams before facing the Jayhawks, including four ranked teams.

Although the Jayhawks lost, they won some key matches, Kansas played well in doubles, winning two of the three matches. The top two doubles teams won two of their biggest matches of the season last night. The unranked doubles teams of Kris Sell/Cheryl Malliaiah and Brooke Chiller/Julia Sidorova upset both of the Rebels team who are tied at No. 9 in the latest ITA rankings.

First baseman Chad King extended his hitting streak to four games, tying his career-high, but struck out twice.
Freshman outfieldier Matt Van Alsburg continued to play well. Van Alsburg was 2 for 3 with one walk. Sophomore outfielder Doug Dreher was also 2 for 3 in the game.
Dreher and Van Alsburg provided the only offense for the team.
"We had a lot of opportunities, but never cashed in on them." Randall said.
