CREW
The Kansas crew team joined the varsity rowing team on the Kansas River this weekend.
The coed team competed against Kansas State, Wichita State and the Kansas City Rowing Club. The team competed again yesterday in Omaha, Neb., against two Creighton teams, Wichita State, Iowa State, Nebraska, St. Thomas, K-State, St. Cloud and St. Louis.
The weekend marked the beginning of the spring season. John
Devins, novice rower and Fairway junior, was pleased with the results.
"We did how we were expected to do," Devins, University Daily Kansan sportswriter, said. "We did a solid job and won our share."
Saturday gave the team a good feeling about the rest of the season.
"Our first race showed us a lot of progress that we have made from last season," novice rower Quentin Odes, Chicago senior, said. "Things are looking good."
First place finishes for Saturday included the women's varsity four, men's varsity four and women's lightweight four. Other races such as
"We didn't win all our races, but we know what we need to do improve," varsity rower Anna Foerster. Topeka sophomore, said.
the women's and men's varsity eight finished in second place.
"It kind of warms you up," novice rower Tricia Blackburn, Overland Park freshman, said. "Since we just had a race at KU, you would think it would be stressful, but it's not. It sort of gets painful, race after race, but it just makes you want to leave nothing behind."
"It was an overall great day," he said. "I'm really proud of the way they rowed. It was an excellent performance."
Omahale brought a quick turnaround for the team. But the rowers didn't seem to mind.
The team usually makes a quick recovery when it competes two days in a row. Odes said.
Yesterday's victories included
The team won the men's varsity eight for the first time in five years. Coach Jeremy Struemph said the program was moving up.
"Sunday was a much better day than Saturday," Devins said. "We improved in every boat and had great success in our efforts as a team."
The team will travel to Indianapolis in two weeks for its next competition.
first-place finishes in the men's varsity eight, women's varsity four and both heats of the men's varsity four.

Kansas loses to Baylor; swept in doubles matches

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After posting two straight road victories for the first time this season, the Kansas women's tennis team (4-11, 3-4 Big 12) fell to 12th-ranked Baylor, 6-1, in Waco. Texas, on Saturday.
"It was a good win for us," Baylor coach Joey Scrivano said.
Baylor, which reached its highest-ever ranking at No. 12 last week, has won four straight matches and 14 of its last 15.
The Bears were without two of their top players, freshman Zuzana Zemenova and sophomore Klara Zrustrova. Both players did not play as a result of their involvement in tournament
matches last fall, Scrivano said.
The Jayhawks failed to register a victory in the doubles competition, falling in all three matches.
In singles, Kansas managed to earn a point, courtesy of freshman Elizaveta Adeveeva.
The native of Obninsk, Russia, defeated Baylor's Carolin Walter in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
"She is going to be a heck of a college player," Scrivano said of Avdeeva. "I was impressed with her poise on the court. I give her a lot of credit."
January.
Junior Christine Skoda finished off Janet Durham in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. The former Big 12 Player of the Week is (5-2) in the Big 12 Conference.
Freshman Stephanie Smith, who saw her two-match win streak snapped versus Baylor, redeemed herself with a victory against Katja Kovacic, 6-1, 1-6, 10-6.
The Jayhawks fell 4-3 to Texas Tech Sunday in Lubbock, Texas.
Avdevella got past Cigdem Duru in three sets, 7-5, 0-6, 7-6.
The Jayhawks lost the doubles point for the second straight match, failing to win a single match.
The Jayhawks will return home this week and take a break from conference action, as Kansas will host Tulsa on Wednesday.
Advéeva has won six matches since joining the team in early

move back to your natural position at small forward. If you stay for next season, you are going to be a key part of a team that will be so unbelievably young. If you are worried about playing time, you shouldn't be. While some of the incoming freshmen may be able to play the same position as you, you have the experience. You proved last season that you shine in the face of adversity. This team is going to need leadership next season and you could be one of the players to give it. It is difficult to replace four seniors, but you and the other players would be able to be just as good of leaders as this year's graduating class.
I hear that you want to move closer to home. Why would you leave when you have a town of 100,000 that has embraced you and will embrace any player that plays basketball at this institution? The whole city is your family.
Alex, I really hope that you look at what being a basketball player at Kansas has to offer.
There is no place like it, and this team needs you to stay.
Sincerely.
