Tracksters aim at NU
By MATT SEELEY Sports Writer
The KU men's track team travels to Nebraska this Saturday not only to face its toughest Big Eight opponent of the year, but also to crowd that thrus on Carlsbad victories.
"Nebraska not only has one of the finest tracks," KU track coach Bob Timmons said, "but one of the best home records of any college in the nation."
Nebraska track losses are as rare as Cornhusner football defeats, and Kansas collided. If the 16 times the schools have collided in dual track meets, Nebraska has come out on top of them. And RKI is expected to be one of the nation's powerhouse powers.
"THEY DONT LOSE many meets, but we'd like to turn it around," Timmons said.
While Timmons' first priority is a vic-
tory, he knows the Bob Devaney Sports Center is an ideal track to quality for NCAA Indoor Championship berths.
"We're hoping to qualify Mike Ricks and Lester Mickens in the 600, at least one of our quarter-milers, Rick Ensz in the 1,000 and the mile relay team," Timmons said.
Timmons said that the mile relay, the final event, has often been the deciding event when the schools have clashed.
IF THE MILE RELAY does decide meet the Jayhawker should come home with him. If he doesn't, off, followed by Sam Whitaker and Mike Hickey will run as a qualifier. Lester McKinley will run as the captain.
Nebraska will be led by Al-Armor Scott Peplogh, who can run just about any race. The Cornhuskers also have Jamaican sprinters. Everton Dacosta, Edwards and Jake Sullivan the Cornhuskers also have
three were recruited from the same high school. Another Jamaican, long jumper Jon Jones, has the longest leap in the Big Fight this season at 23-8.
CORNHUSKER STRENGTHS are the 800 and mile run. Nebraska currently has the two fastest times in the mile of Big Gig, a 340-mile run by Tim Gundy leaps as a possible threat.
In addition to training to qualify team
players, the team will also meet the

opportunity to test the track for the Big

Kansas will also be given the opportunity to perform before a full house, unseen and to watch of at Allen Field House.
TIME:
"They'll all be Nebraska fans," Timmons said. "I don't know of any school that has better fan support than Nebraska."

Long-shot swimmers dream about qualifying
Gary Kemp wouldn't be eligible for the Olympics, swimming cost a reward. The KU women's swimming coach, who marmers who have qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials, said he didn't give them more money than they deserve.
By KATHY KASE Sports Writer
Everything You Want—
ALTHOUGH KEMFP' said he had not made the team's practice harder for them, Lindstrom and Schaffer said that the injuries were more difficult in years past.
Using that philosophy, Kemp is training indoors and outdoors for children, but the kids also enjoy swimmer to duplicate their speed qualifying times now. He wants rather to work up to those times slowly so they can master the skills even faster.
But the man does have a point. The two swimmers, Janet Lundstrom and Lanny Schaffer, both have qualifying times that are right under the cut-off mark.

"My feeling is that anyone who qualifies for the Olympic Trials can explode with one swim in one event, possibly two, and make a statement," I said. "I think they could happen to them."
"People are always asking how you're doing and it's not a fair question. I think the workouts are very hard this year." Linda backstroke, 200-meter backstroke, freescale, said.
The cut-off time is based on the time of the 16th indiviner an in event at the 17th and 1979 AAU National Championships. That means the cut-off time is based on the last two AAU nationals have qualified.
WHEN IT'S PUT that way, Kempf comes off looking like a realist, not a pessimist. His philosophy bears this out.

Tammy Thomas, a freshman who Kempf expects to qualify for the 100-meter butterfly, agreed that the practices were hard.
"The practices have been really hard, but I've done more than I've ever dreamed I'd do." Thomas said.
EVEN WITH THE harder workouts, Ben and his team are still Trial are not discussed much. He said he would rather wait until the end of the swimming season before planning Olympic events.
"The Trials are six months away and besides, it's in the back of their minds all of the time, anyway" Kemph said. "I'm not going to say that going to the Trials doesn't mean much. Going to the Trials means a lot better, but me, it too easy to talk about it. We
It is too early to talk about the meet, according to Lindstrom, because responsibility to the team comes first.
"THE BIG Eight meet is on my mind," she said. "As far as I'm concerned, that is the first meet I should be thinking about."
While they said it was too soon to talk about the Trials, all three swimmers know what participation in the meet could do for them and their careers.
"I'm in Physical Education and I look forward to a coaching career," said Schaffer, who has qualified in the 200-meter

backstroke. "Just to be able to put on my application that I've been to the Olympic Trials will be a big help in getting a job."
"I've never been to a national meet and it will be such a privilege to go and swim against the toon swimmers," she said.
Other than the possible Olympic boycott, the swimmers do not speak about the Olympic Games much. They would rather talk about strategy.
After swimming for 14 years, Linstorm and the fish would be a good way for them to travel. They could also buffer off shark injuries while swimming careers. She said she would probably swim for KU next year, but "just in case," she said.
"WHATEVER YOU do at the Trials, you have to go through in practice first," Thomas said.
A big question is whether they'll shave their arms as well as their legs.
"The majority of the team has yet to shave its legs this year," Lundstrom said. "For the Trials you do everything. The thing that makes you are more sensitive to feeling the water."
Kempf was headed for the 1976 Olympic trials but could not go because of knee surgery.
"I know I could place really well because of the times I get now. I have no doubt I can swim with everybody—all but the top backstroke." Schaffer said.
"I just want to go and see and I saw the best swimmers and that I swam the best I ever swam in my life." Lindström said. Editon's note: "The player's KU's ties with the Olympic Games. The series will be continued next Tuesday."
