For Kansas, it was a weekend of what-might have-beens, as subpar individual performances and outstanding competition combined to put a damper on the Jayhawks' final collegiate meet of the year.

Scott Huffman, the Big Eight runner-up who set national records in two separate record events.
Raymond Mitchell failed to qualify for the finals in the long jump, which was won for the second consecutive year by Conley at 27-2. Mitchell met with a wind-aided, 26-34] jump that came at the conference meet.

Though none of the men placed in the meet, assistant coach Rick Attig said he was not disappointed with the performances.
For Clint Johnson, the NCAA meet was the end of a season and a career.

Another athlete KU coaches expect good things from is freshman Ann O'Connor. Although O'Connor failed to place in the finals of the women's high jump Saturday, assistant coach Cliff Rovetole was anything but disappointed with her performance.
"He jumped 6-0 in the qualifying Thursday," he said. "It was the best she'd jumped all season by far. She played 6-0, 5-1 and 6-0 on her first attempts."
"Scott cleared 17-4 by a foot and a
Two seniors on the women's team ended their careers much the same way Johnson did for the men.
"Although she didn't make 6-0 Saturday in the finals, she still jumped as well as she had all season. She's done better than the tempt, she would have been fifth,"
Calipari accepts Pittsburgh job
By The Kansan Staff
John Calipari, a KU assistant basketball coach for the past three years, has resigned to accept a similar position at the University of
"I wouldn't have left Kansas for any other job," he said yesterday. "But Pitt's in the big East Conference and it's my hometown."
Calipar, a native of Pennsylvania, said the decision to leave Kansas was not an easy one.
At KU, Calipari coached the junior varsity team and helped in scheduling and recruiting efforts. At Pittsburgh, he will coordinate recruiting along with coaching the Panthers.
"That's the hot conference now," he said. "They're getting a lot of things done."
Calipari said he would be leaving Lawrence for Pittsburgh this weekend.
Galipari was born and raised in Pittsburgh. He played college basketball at Clarion State University in Connecticut, where he graduated with a degree in business marketing in 1982.
"I'm going back to a place I enjoy
Calipari, who first worked under Ted Owens and then Larry Brown at KU, said he was looking forward to coaching in the Big East Conference, which placed three teams in this season's Final Four.
Kim Jones, who had a best of 18-34 in the long jump going into the meet, could manage only a 19-9 and ailed to qualify for the finals.
Sine Lerdahl, the Big Eight indoor champion in the shot put, had a poor showing and finished 12th.
Bird will lead Celts in game 4 against Lakers
"She's very disappointed," "women head coach Carla Coffey said." She's the kind of person who brings them through in those kinds of meetings."
Larry Bird, who on Monday was named the National Basketball Association's Most Valuable Player, will lead the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers and Magic Johnson tonight in the fourth game of the NBA playoff finals.
Johnson was second in the MVP balloting by a nationwide sports media panel. Tonight's game will begin at 8 and will be televised from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on channels 5 and 13.
The Lakers hold a 2-1 advantage over the Celtics in the best-of-seven championship series and finished the regular season with a 36-5 record at home.
