6B = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS ROWING TUESDAY, MAY 7.2002 "I'm sure there are some negative thoughts, but I think she has taken a positive approach to it. I realize it means a lot," Catloth said. "She is enthusiastic and works hard every day. She has a great attitude." Parsons said she understood why the move was probably made. "I've got a lot of brute strength, but I struggle sometimes with some aspects of technical rowing." Parsons said. "I don't have outright control of the boat. A lot of times my adrenalin kicks in and it's difficult for me not to row a little harder. I sometimes don't stay at the same speed as the other rows." Catloth said Parsons might be back in the first varsity eight-boat for the Central Regionals in two weeks if she rowed well in practice. Parsons said she was worried more about what was best for the team rather than which boat she would race in. Kansas finished its season in the Top 25 nationally during Parsons' first three years as a Jayhawk. This year, the Jayhawks will have pull off a miracle at the NCAA Central Regionals if they hope for the same kind of finish. "We have amazing talent. We just haven't clicked into gear this season," Parsons said. "I have personally rowed pretty well, especially in the fall. I'm not sure what the problem is." Despite all of the adversity she has faced during the past few months, Parsons has remained positive. "I try to be a good role model," said Parsons, who was selected by her teammates as one of the team's four captains this season. "I try to keep people motivated and try to be there as much as possible for my team." Parsons said she would like nothing more than a strong finish for the Jayhawks at the Central Regionals, to be held May 18-19 in Oak Ridge. Tenn. "Losing has taken a toll on some of the girls," she said. "I just want to get everyone fired up for this race and end my career on a winning note." Contact Wasko at bwasko@kansan.com.

KIDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Ferrari said most people didn't know about the men's volleyball club because it just formed in February. He said next year would be its big outing. "We're hoping with the influx of incoming freshman next year that we can form a better organized club, get money from the University, travel as a team and play competitively," he said. Trelsa said the women's lacrosse team was looking to expand as well. Both teams include the Kansas Kids' Fitness Day in their plans for next year. "Recruiting is very difficult for us, so by starting the kids earlier, the sport will grow and help us out in the long run," she said. "The teachers thanked us and were glad we came out." Brown said. "Hopefully we can do it again." ContactGoetsch at goetsch@kansan.com. This story was edited by Joanna Miller.
