University names new director for Williams Educational Fund
"Jay Hinrichs brings a wealth of experience in fundraising, ticketing, customer service and event operations from his successful career with the Kansas City Royals," associate athletics director Richard Konzem said. "Since his college days, he has remained active with KU athletics through his involvement in our game games. With his personable style and strong work ethic, he will be a great fit."
Jay Hinrichs takes over the job after working 17 years in an upper management position with the Kansas City Royals. He will be responsible for servicing the membership of the more than 3,500 athletics department donor organizations and recruiting new members to the group.
Last year, the Williams Fund raised more than $5.2 million for athletic scholarships at Kansas.
Hinrichs' most recent role with the Royals was to be responsible for all facets of the Kauffman Stadium facility and personal operations. He has been involved in player contract negotiations, player trades, free acquisitions and team administration.
He has also served as chairman of the
Hinrichs graduated from Kansas in 1980 and later received his Masters in Business Administration and Finance in 1983 at the University. He worked from 1980-83 as director of intramural sports at his alma mater.

TRACK AND FIELD Kansas thrower receives award for track male athlete of week
DALLAS -- Kansas senior Scott Russell has been named co-Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Male Athlete of the Week.
Russell, a thrower for the Jawhaws, improved his NCAA automatic-qualifying mark in the javelin to 243 feet and one inch and took first place at the Drake Relays on April 26 in Des Moines, Iowa.
The Windsor, Ontario, native currently leads the conference in this event and ranks third nationally. Russell has now won four conference crowns in his career at Kansas — two in the hammer throw and two in the javelin.
The Tiger Woods Foundation has selected inner-city junior golf programs from five cities to join the world's No. 1 golfer for a three-day clinic at Disney World starting June 17. two days after the U.S. Open.
This award is Russell's third in 2002 as he was received league athlete of the week awards twice during the indoor season. Russell shares this week's award with Brian Hunter of Texas.
LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods won't be traveling around the country this year to conduct junior golf clinics. Instead, he's bringing the kids to him.
The junior programs are from Buffalo, N.Y.; Fort Worth, Texas; Newark, N.J.; Orlando, Fla.; and Philadelphia. They were selected through a formal bid that considered inner-city youth golf initiatives, community support and participation in local junior golf programs.

It will be the 25th clinic by the Tiger Woods Foundation since it was formed in 1996. The first was held in 1997 at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
"They are always a lot of fun to put on, and are one of the best ways for our foundation to reach out to kids and give back to the community." Woods said in a statement.

Woods previously went to four or five cities a year for his clinics.

als. The teams submit times to qualify. Two KU teams will compete — the men's varsity four and the women's novice eight.
Brad Seaman, Overland Park sophomore, said he expected qualifying for the Dad Vail Regatta. He was a member of the men's novice eight who took sixth at Dad Vail last year.
"We have been doing really well overall and medaling in all our regattas," he said.
The KU crew team played host to Kansas State and Colorado earlier this season and participated in a larger competition in Topeka in April.
Coach O'Rourke said participating in the Dad Vail Regatta is a success in itself, but
expects a good showing nonetheless.
He said he wasn't concerned about the heightened level of competition.
"Finalis is one of our first goals," O'Rourke said. "Once we get there, we'll start worrying about medals."
"We haven't raced a lot of people that will be there," O'Rourke said, "but we have raced against the same level of competition and done well. We're hoping to have a strong performance."
Dad Vail is divided into three rounds, including quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand finals. The top two boats qualify from each round.
"I'm hoping for a grand final, making it all the way," Struemph said. "That's what the boat is shooting for."
The women's novice eight also anticipates to compete in the grand finals. Noelle Alexander, Santa Fe, N.M., freshman said they are practicing twice a day and doing a lot more sprints in preparation.
"When you put more time in on the water, you come together as a team and get your rhythm down," she said.
Another member of the women's novice eight, Lindsay Matthews, Overland Park freshman, said the team's performance in sub-par weather conditions in Madison was an indicator of their ability to excel at Dad Vail.
"It was 30 to 40 degrees, cold water was splashing on us and our hands were freezing," she said, "but we were still able to pull through. Being realistic, I really think we can get up there in the top six."

Growing up in small-town Kannapolis, N.C., Smith starred as a high school quarterback. The North Carolina State coaches switched him to safety. He bulked up and finished his college career in 1987 as a co-captain and starting linebacker. Smith is not only a strength coach. He is a football player.
"I played ball. They respect you for that." Smith said. "Since I've been through it, I know what their
A myriad of athletic wunderkinds surrounded Smith at Florida. He helped develop Tennessee Titans' All-Pro Jevon Kearse.

the weight room.
Smith sees a certain talent disparity between Florida and Kansas, but he applauds his new team's drive and spirit. Let him develop the players' skills. But without heart, any gift is wasted.
"I would rather have guys that are less talented that will work hard and not be a problem than talented guys that don't like to work." Smith said. "You can get by with that."
"But it's most about want to. It's this right here," Smith said, as he thumped his heart with his left index finger. "I always tell them, if
something bad happens, you cannot go in the tank. You got to keep going. You got to keep pushing. You got to keep playing. You are never going to step on the field when everything is going your way."
And at a program where everything has gone wrong, an attitude like Smith's is both refreshing and reinforcing.
"The mind is a strong thing." Smith concluded. "If the mind believes, the body will achieve."
