TRACK AND FIELD
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
1
Women's team sets record at championship
MAX GOODWIN

The women's track and field team proved that they are among the elite in the conference this weekend at the Big 12 Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas.
In finishing third to Texas and conference champion Texas A&M, the Jayhawks established that some of the athletes on this team are among the best in the nation.
The Jayhawks had an impressive 19-point lead over the Texas A&M Aggies in the Big 12 title race following the first day of competition.
Thanks to the achievements of juniors Francine Simpson and Andrea Geubelle winning first and second place in the long jump competition, respectively. Senior Alena Krechyk set a new school record of 68 feet and 3 inches with a second place finish in the weight throw. Sophomore Demi Payne came just shy of the Big 12 pole vault crown, as Texas A&M senior Laura Asimakis cleared the mark of 13 feet and 11.25 inches on the last vault of the day to win the title.
The long jump title is the first conference title of Francine Simpson's career. The last championship for
Kansas in the indoor long jump was 2008.
"God gave me the strength to get that one jump and that one jump made me win," Simpson said.
Before the women's 4x400 meter race, junior Paris Daniels made it clear that Kansas was not going to be intimidated by the programs with more respect and recognition.
"The thing is, we want to beat Texas A&M so bad because they are put on this pedestal like they are the best," Daniels said. "We want to beat the best."
It was Kansas that stood on the pedestal Saturday night as they were
awarded the Big 12 crown in the 4x400 meter race. The time of three minutes, 31.36 seconds not only beat the Texas A&M relay team by just 0.18 seconds but is also the fastest time in Big 12 history. It is also the eighth fastest ever in the NCAA. Four of the five fastest times have come out of the Big 12 this season, with the time recorded. The four women that ran for the Jayhawks in the title winning race were sophomore Diamond Dixon, junior Taylor Washington, junior Paris Daniels and senior Danesha Morris.
One title was not enough for Diamond Dixon. She also won the
400-meter dash, which gives her one in both the indoor and outdoor 400-meter race. It was her best time of the meet and was good enough for an automatic qualification to the NCAA nationals.
The team secured another title in the women's triple jump as Geubelle unleashed a few of the biggest jumps seen in the NCAA this season. With a final jump of 44 feet and 07 inches Geubelle won the crown, automatically qualified for nationals and had the longest jump in the NCAA this season. The jump ranks Geubelle third in the United States in the triple jump.
"Everyone came together and fought well as a team, so it was close with Texas and Texas A&M. We just have to continue to work hard to get better," coach Stanley Redwine said. "On the men's side, unfortunately, we didn't do as well as we expected to. I believe there were too many mental errors, not enough focus, but the points we got were hard-fought points."
The men's team finished in last place. The top finisher for the team was sophomore Alex Bishop's third place effort in the pole vault.
