"We are not too worried at the team scores," Bowie said. "Our goal is to go down more and qualify, athletics for the nation's and get the win."
KU's strength in the running events will come from Lester Mickens, who will join Rodney Bullock in the 400-meter dash.

HOGAN, A DETROIT sophomore, did not end his indoor campaign as well as he planned, suffering a hamstring pull before the mile. He was out for the day.
"I'm healthy and feeling pretty good," Hogan said. "I've been practicing hard and I'm really glad to get outdoors."
"I'm definitely not an indoor runner," Hogan said. "I'm too big to be running on a wood-banked track with those light curves."

WHITE HASN won Gold Glove awards the past three seasons and has been selected to the All-Star team the last two years. He said his salary did not reflect his accomplishments.
