Gary Kempf accepts job; leaves University in July
Assistant Athletics Director Gary Kempf will leave the Kansas Athletics Department to head Asbury College's athletics department on July 1.
Asburv is located in Wilmore. Kv.
Kempf has been with the University of Kansas for the last 28 years, 24 of those as the coach of the women's swimming team. He also coached the men's swimming team for 18 years.
"My debt of gratitude to the University of Kansas is so deep," Kempf said. "It has provided unbelievable opportunities for myself, my wife and my family. It's been a ride that no one can ever forget."
Asbury competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, not the NCAA, and sponsors 11 varsity teams.

BOWLING
KUjuniorwinschampionship, securesTeamUSAposition
Rhino Page, Lawrence junior, won the USA Bowling National Amateur Championship in Dallas during Jan. 9-14, by beating a field of 135.
Page finished with a 12,812-pin total over 56 games: 24 qualifying games and 32 match games.
Page never fell out of the top three through the entire tournament, reaching the number one spot on the fifth day of competition. He held onto the top spot the following two days. On the last day Page went 6-2 in match games, improving his record to 21-11, and increased his 88-pin lead on the second place bowler to a 227-pin advantage.
The title means Page will return to the Team USA bowling team in 2005. He received a spot on the team after finishing third at last year's Amateur Championship. Page was a member of the Junior Team USA in 2001 and 2002.
"It's great to be on the team again and that's what's most important," Page said. "Winning it is secondary, although it's exciting to be able to compete at the World Cup."
Fellow Jayhawk bowler Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., senior, also competed at the Amateur Championship. Zapf made the cut of 24, but finished the tournament in 21st, finishing the match games with an 8-16 record.

The Kansas women's rowing team didn't let the frozen water halt its winter training. All it took was a two-week trip down south to a warmer climate.
The team returned Tuesday evening from winter training in Austin, Texas. Coach Rob Catloth said the team makes the trip yearly to build up fitness and improve technique. Until the winter training, the team could only train indoors. It had not been on water since November.
"Getting back on the water helps the team remember why they're training," Catloth said.
Everyday training consisted of getting up at 8:15 a.m. and taking a three - to four-mile run. The team then hit the water and rowed until about noon. The team was back on the water from 3 p.m. until about 6 p.m.
"Training inside can get pretty monotonous after awhile," Erin Hennessey, Pittsburg senior said. "It was nice to be outside and get a jump start on our fitness."
improved on our speed and technique," Hainer, St. Catharines, Ontario senior said. "We have a lot to look forward to now." She said she felt the improvements would be beneficial to the rest of the season. Catloth said he was satisfied with the trip.
This was Kristy Hainer's fourth trip to Texas for winter training. She said that this past training was the best training she had had. Both Hainer and Hennesey are team captains.
"We stayed positive and really
"They responded well from the training and are ready to compete," he said. "I'm confident that they'll be faster. I think our competitive edge has picked up."
The team continues training in Lawrence on Monday. It will do weight training until spring break.

Botched free-throw attempts end Wake Forest shot record
Wake Forest's NCAA free-throw record ended at a most inopportune time.
After getting fouled with four seconds left, Taron Downey had the Demon Deacons' first missed free throw in 51 attempts and No. 3 Wake Forest went on to lose to Florida State 91-83 in overtime Tuesday night.
Todd Galloway scored nine straight points in overtime to help Florida State snap Wake Forest's 10-game streak.
"It felt good when it left my hand," said Downey. "But you know, it happens like that sometimes."
Wake Forest made 32 straight Saturday in a 95-82 victory over North Carolina and its first 18 on Tuesday night before Downey's miss. Wake Forest's 50 straight free throws eclipsed the mark of 49 set in 1991 by Indiana State.
