SWIMMING
Kansas swimmers compete in trials
A trio of Jayhawk swimmers is currently competing in the 2012 Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Neb.
Danielle Hermann, the current volunteer assistant to the Kansas swim team, finished first in the fifth heat of the 200 IM during preliminaries on June 27. She finished 33rd out of 124 swimmers, with a time of 2:18.07.
"It was a great swim,very well put together,and is a new Kansas Aquatics record,so I cannot be any happier for her," said Kansas swim coach Clark Campbell in a statement to the KU Athletic Department.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Not far behind Hermann in the 200 IM was junior Brooke Brull, the captain for next year's Kansas
Brull
swim team, with a time of 2:21.25. She placed 85th overall.
Incoming freshman Chelsie Miller finished the fourth heat three spots
behind Brull with a
time of 2:24.50.
Brull swam again on Saturday and finished 122nd, which was not enough to qualify for the semifinals.

Track stars try to cross final hurdles
On the
On the last day of U.S. Olympic qualifying, Andrea Geubelle and Michael Stigler were in action vying for a trip
Geubelle
to London July 1 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Unfortunately, neither was able to book their trip
Competing in the eight man final round of the men's 400-meter hurdles, Stigler needed a top-three finish to earn a spot on the Olympic Team. Stigler ran a 49.50 to advance to the final round June 30, but he ran a 50.63 the next day which earned him seventh place.
Geubelle was attempting to make it to London in the long jump on July 1. In order to accomplish that task, she needed a jump of 22-1 3/4 ft. (6.75m). After three rounds of jumps, her best mark was 20-7 3/4 ft. (6.29m), which was not enough to earn three more jumps. She finished the event in
11th place. Geubelle won a bronze medal in the triple jump earlier in the week, marking the best finish by a female Kansas athlete since 2000.
University track athletes senior Rebeka Stowe and junior Mason Finley also competed for Olympic spots.
Stowe, competing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, needed at least a top-five finish in her heat or one top-14 final time to advance. With the pressure on, Stow ran a 9:53.67, which was enough to earn the last available qualifying spot for the final round. Stowe ran in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase June 30. She had one of her best performances of the year finishing with a time of 10:02.82 and a 13th place finish, but it was not enough for a trip to London.
Finley was competing to advance to the final round of qualifying in discus. Finley failed to advance by six inches with his final throw of 58.59 meters (192-2 ft.).
Diamond Dixon qualified for the Olympics in the 400-meter run on June 25.
