The athletes who traveled to Texas were also rewarded for the trip.
Senior Jennie Wonder improved her school-record and NCAA-provisional time in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing fifth with a time of 13.48. She is in a tie for 14th on the national list.
Wonder said she was happy with her time, made more impressive by the mem-
by having during the same race last week still fresh in her mind.
"I definitely had a hesitation on the last hurdle because of my spill at Drake," Wonder said.
Freshman Brooklyn Ham broke the school record in the triple jump with a

mark of 42-6, and is tied for ninth on the national list. She finished third in the event Saturday and also recorded a personal best of 13.89 in the 100-meter hurdles.
One of the downfalls of sending the team to different meets was not having all of the coaches' expertise on hand. Hann battled swirling winds that affected her approach and take-off, Redwine said.
Milan Donley, who coaches the triple jumpers, was with the team members who went to Iowa.
"Coach Donley could have helped a lot
more in the triple jump than I could have," Redwine said. "So we're going to continue to look for big things. She's a great competitor."
At Stanford, junior Mark Meneefe slashed nearly 30 seconds off his personal best in the 5,000 meters, running 13:52.80. The time is second only to Jim Ryun on the all-time Kansas list. It places him 19th in the country and on the bubble for the NCAA championships.
Meneefe will run the 5,000 meters again at the Big 12 meet against four men who beat him at Stanford.
He said he anticipated a fast race that would carry him to an automatic NCAA mark.
It would also be a thrill to take a school record from the legendary Ryun, Menefee said.
"Some of our distance records have been around wav too long." Meneefer joked.
Sophomore Leo Bookman made a strong showing at Texas, his first meet since the NCAA indoor championships in March. Bookman finished second in the 100 meters with a time of 10.51, and finished eighth in the 200 with a time of 21.15.
Junior Benaud Shirley led the way for the Jayhawks competing at Iowa. He won the triple jump with a leap of 50-2 1/2.
Redwine said it was important timing to achieve so many quality performances this weekend.
"Now that they did have good races, it will carry in to the conference," he said of the upcoming Big 12 championships.

Changes to the first varsity eightboat lineup didn't help the Kansas rowing team at the Big 12 Invitational on Saturday.
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Rob Catloth attempted to add some speed to the first varsity eight-boat by changing the boat's coxswain and three rowers.
New rowing lineup, same results
"It's difficult to tell if the changes made any difference," Catloth said of the team's top boat, which finished third with a time of 6:58.0. "We finished with about the same time as we have all season."
The Jayhawks' first varsity eightboat finished 16.4 seconds behind the regatta champion, Texas.
Overall, Kansas tied Kansas State in second place at the five-temple regatta, which also featured Texas, Tulsa and Texas Crew. Texas won the regatta by 11 points in Austin, Texas.
"I'm pretty happy across the board," Catloth said. "We now have two weeks to prepare for the NCAA Central Regionals. We need to continue to work hard and focus on getting back to the top of the Big 12."
Kansas' first varsity eight-boat still has not won a race all season, and the Central Regionals might end up being the lavihawks' last race.
"I think this race was a stepping stone for us. I think we jelled together a little bit," sophomore first varsity eight-boat rower Beth Hickey said. "Everybody is still pretty optimistic
about this season."
There were some positives for the Iavhawks at the Big 12 Invitational.
Kansas took second in the second varsity eight, second varsity four and novice eight-boat races.
The first varsity four-boat, which consisted of sophomore coxswain Sara Kilbride and rowers Carrie Owens, senior; Amber Snyder, sophomore; Luci Lyon, freshman; and Laura Adamson, sophomore; won its race with a time of 7:40.3.
The Jayhawks will take a week off from competition before traveling to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for the NCAA Central Regionals.

SOFTBALL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
“This was a game where you fought and fought offensively,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said. “There are all kinds of wins in softball and many times you don't see a score like this, but the fact is that we came out and hit the ball tonight. I was really proud of our staying power and the attitude of our kids in the dugout.”
the Oklahoma Sooners just need five innings to down the Jayhawks 10-0.
Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead on four hits in the bottom of the first. The Sooners added three more runs in the third on three hits, including a two-run homer by Heather Scaglione.
In a match of Friday evening's game,
The Sooners put the game out of reach with six runs on six hits and none left on base in the bottom of the fourth. Oklahoma hit two triples and two run-homers in the inning for the 10-0 final score. Because of the
eight-run after five mercy rule in softball, the teams only played five innings.
"I give a lot of credit to Oklahoma," Bunge said. "They really came to play. They made some good adjustments and took advantage of us today. We were a little flat and not very energetic."
The loss ended the Jayhawks' run for the Big 12 Conference tournament title.
