AARON SHOWALTER/KANSAN
Freshman runner Kim Clark hands the baton off to senior Katy Eisenmenger for the last leg of the women's distance medley relay. Kansas took first in the event with a time of 11:42 at the Kansas Relays Friday in Memorial Stadium.

In the men's race, Kansas pulled away from Iowa State after a close battle between senior Brian Blachly and the Cyclones' runner on the first leg.
Senior Jabari Wamble erased a small deficit on the second, 400-meter leg, storming around the Cyclone runner with a 47.6 split, and
the Jayhawks never looked back.
Wamble waited until he had the wind at his back on the final straight to make his decisive move.
The race was still close when senior Charlie Gruber got the baton for the anchor mile leg, which he completed in 4:10.
But Gruber blitzed the first lap in under 58 seconds, and the Iowa State runner had no answer.
"I told myself before the race that if I get in that position in front to take it easy, but when I got the stick with the adrenaline going, it's hard to keep it under control." Gruber said.
In other action, junior Benaud Shirley finished seventh in the triple jump, claiming an NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 51 feet, 9 inches. Senior Jeremy Hull placed second in
the pole vault with a jump of 17 3/4. The women's sprint medley relay team of junior Shanetta March, sophomore Robbie Harriford, freshman Kim Clark and freshman Megan Manthe finished second with a time of 4:03.51.

"It's a good swinging club," Baty said. "They hit the ball well." Kansas returns to action tomorrow for a 6 p.m. game against Southwest Missouri State at Hoglund Ballpark. The Bears beat the Jayhawks 15-7 in the two teams' last outing, and Baylor won both of its showdowns with the Tigers earlier in the season.

his tail off. This year there were some moments when he played better than any player I have ever had, and we have had some guys who played here that are doing very well in the NBA right now."
Gooden said he realized that many players who excelled in college weren't ready for the NBA and said he didn't expect to dominate the professionals the same way he did the other Big 12 teams.
"A lot of rookies aren't ready when they get there," he said. "I am not saying that I am ready to step out on the court right away and average 20 and 10 like I left off with in college. That would be great, but I want to work hard at it everyday. I will not leave myself short."
He said he would not let his three years of schoolwork at the University go for naught, either.
Gooden said he would continue to attend classes through the end of the semester and eventually finish the degree
that he promised his family and team he would earn.
"I am not giving up my college education," he said. "What I'm giving up today is my eligibility of playing another year of basketball. There will be a day that I will walk across that stage with a Kansas degree."
