2015 Kansas Relays will host a collegiate quadrangular
The 2015 Kansas Relays will celebrate 88 years come mid-April. But this year, the meet will have slightly altered format to years prior.
There will be an open collegiate meet, which will include athletes from colleges across the country, as well as high school events. New
to the 88th Kansas Relays will be a quadrangular meet. The teams competing in the quadrangular will be Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado State and Purdue.
"With the direction track & field is trending across the U.S., and the world today, officials are looking for ways to increase their fan base and make the sport more appealing to the non-track purist," meet director Milan Donley said in the University release. "We think this will be a great way to
generate more interest around our area — a way for fans to come and see Kansas athletes going head-to-head against other great programs for a team title."

The meet will have a team champion and will be based on a point system, similar to format and point system of the Big 12 Championships and the NCAA Championship meet. The Relays are set to take place at Rock Chalk Park on April 15-18.
Hosmer, Morales, Rios power Royals to 13-2 win against Rangers
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Eric Hosner joined Royals newcomers Kendrys Morales and Alex Rios in hitting consecutive first-inning homers, and AL champion Kansas City routed the Texas Rangers 13-2 on
Wednesday in the spring training opener for both teams.
Hosmer hit a three-run shot off Rangers starter Colby Lewis that landed on the grassy berm beyond the centerfield fence. Morales followed with a shot to right field and Rios went deep to left, giving Kansas City a 6-0 lead before Lewis had recorded an out.
Lewis retired the next three bat
ters after the homer binge, but the veteran still needed 36 pitches to get through his only inning against the Rangers' campus co-tenants.
Fellow starter Yovani Gallardo fared little better, allowing four runs on six hits over 1.2 innings in his Texas debut.

Baylor women have Big 12's top player and coach
IRVING, Texas — Baylor sophomore Nina Davis has been named the Big 12 women's player of the year, and Kim Mukley is the league's top coach for the fifth time.

Baylor just won its fifth consecutive Big 12 regular-season title and sixth overall. The Lady Bears have won the past four conference tournaments.
The Big 12 honors announced Wednesday were chosen by the league's head coaches.
Two Oklahoma guards got individual awards, Gabbi Ortiz as top freshman and sophomore transfer Peyton Little as top newcomer. TCU's Chelsea Prince was named the league's top defensive player and Baylor's Khadijiah Cave got the sixth-man award.

Gardner was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for the second consecutive season, and this season was a unanimous first team selection. The senior averaged 16.8 points per
game, which was third overall in the conference, and 8.5 rebounds per game, which was fourth overall in the conference. Gardner is the fourth Jayhawk to score 1,400 points and have 850 rebounds in their career at Kansas. Gardner currently has 1,502 points and 874 rebounds through Monday's game.

Boyd, who missed the last three games of the regular season due to a stress fracture in her left
foot, averaged 10.3 points per game. Boyd finished 23rd in Big 12 scoring.
Aldridge was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. Aldridge was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Freshman of the Week on Dec. 8. Aldridge averaged 7.9 points and five assists per game. Aldridge finished with 155 assists in her freshman campaign, ranking third in the Big 12.
Kansas (15-16, 6-12), will open up play in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship on Friday at American Airlines Arena in Dallas as the ninth seed playing the eighth seed and in-state rival, Kansas State (17-12, 7-11).
