Track team begins outdoor season, 11 titles won at weekend meet
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team opened the outdoor season with the return of several key performers Friday and Saturday at the Southern Illinois Spring Classic in Carbondale, Ill.
Senior All-Americans Charlie Gruber, Jabari Wamble and Andrea Bulat, who all sat out the
indoor season, competed for the Jayhawks, as well as former Big 12 Conference champion Mark Meneefe. The men's team captured five first-place fin

ishes, and the women won six titles over the weekend.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was happy with the opening
performance of the outdoor season.
"It was our first outdoor meet of the season in indoor-type weather," Redwine said. "The people who had redshirted came back and did really good. It was windy and cold, but everyone still competed hard and did well for this time of year."
Bulat claimed a NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the lavelin with a toss of 154-8.
Bulat said she was still working on lengthening her approach to gain speed heading into her throws. She is working on adding a longer sprint to the beginning of her approach.
Bulat said she was excited to begin testing the new approach at the Texas Relays in two weeks. The meet in Austin, Texas, is known as a great competition in the throwing events.
"I'm really excited," she said.
"It's definitely a confidence boost

that I could throw that far with just the crossovers."
Gruber, a four-time All-American, won the 1,500 meters in a conservative 3:53.54 seconds.
Gruber said he and fellow senior Brian Blachly trailed the pack through 800 meters, passed the two-lap mark in 2:11, and surged away from the rest of the pack.
Blachly finished second in 3:55.10.
While not pleased with the time, Gruber said he was happy with his effort.
"It's a good early-season meet and something to build off of," he said.
Other winners for the Jayhawks were Menefee in the 5,000 meters, senior Pete Prince in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy in the pole vault, senior Scott Russell in the discus, senior Katy Eisenmenger in the 800, sophomore Laura Lavoie in the 1,500, senior Jennifer Foster in the discus and senior Jennie Wonder, freshman Brooklyn Hann, senior Shameika McField and freshman Kim Clark in the 4x400-meter relay.
