The meet ended with a 177-103 Jawhawk victory. Swimmers break losing streak BY KELLY REYNOLDS kreynolds@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWINTER It was almost a sigh of relief Friday night when the Kansas swimming and diving team defeated Truman State at the Robinson Natatorium. The University's team won 177-103. Swimmers earn an allotted number of points for each race in which they place. After returning from Nebraska with their fourth Big 12 Conference defeat, the Jayhawks were "simply beat-up," coach Clark Campbell said. "We got pummeled by Nebraska, and to tell you the truth, we were scared coming into this meet against Truman State," Campbell said. The team returned from a training trip to the Bahamas before leaving for Nebraska a little more than a week ago. Campbell said it was one of the team's best training trips and the women trained harder on this trip than ever before. "Coming off of this training trip we had girls sick, but we needed to focus on going from training mode to race m o d e . " Campbell said. CAMPBELI The swim and dive team did not have time to rest before the meet. "We're in the middle of hard training and we're not supposed to feel rested," senior captain Miranda Isaac said. Truman State is the four-time NCAA Division II National Champion. The Bulldogs are 5-2 in dual meets and defeated Missouri 108-96. The Missouri Tigers served the University one of its four Big 12 Conference defeats this season in late October. With the exception of three events, Kansas swept first place. Isaac performed well in both of her events. She faced Truman State's Michaela Osborn in the 100-yard and 200- yard breaststroke events. Osborn touched the wall in the 100-meter race 5 ISAAC seconds before Isaac, but the roles were reversed in the 200. Isaac captured first place by almost a second with a time of 2:22.36. "I was thinking 'get the job done.' I didn't want her to make a move first," Isaac said. Other stand-out performances included those of senior captain Amy Gruber, freshman Terri Schramka, sophomore Lia Poglioli and senior captain Becca Zarazan. Junior Lindsey Urbatchka took first place in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.02. a swim with which Campbell was impressed. "She had a great training trip and a great swim today," Campbell said. On the diving front, sophomore Jenny Roberts took first place in the 1-meter diving event with a final score of 258.15. Junior Casey Topol walked away as the winner of the 3-meter competition with a score of 283.80. The Jayhawks were pleased with their victory. "We really stepped up after a hard week," Isaac said. "We were more worried about focusing on ourselves and how we were doing." The Jayhawks face back-toback away meets on Jan. 28 and 29 against Drury and Arkansas, but Campbell is confident in the team. "We're healing from our training trip, getting into race mode, and we came out of this meet a couple of steps ahead."
