March 8-9 was a good weekend for the old guard and the new as Kansas' Stine Lerdahl and Ann O'Connor earned. All-America honors at the National College Athletic Association Indoor National Championships in Syracuse, N.Y.
Lerdahl, a senior and the Big Eight champion in the shot-put, finished sixth in the event with a score of 50.21%. The top six finishers in each event were named to the NCAA All-America team.
O'Connor, a freshman, finished third in the high jump with a leap of five feet, 10.2 inches.
"It was an outstanding meet," women's head coach Carla Coffey
said. "All the girls rose to the occasion. It was a good way to end the indoor season.
The Jahyawk womens will travel to Tempe, Ariz., for the Arizona State Triangular on Saturday against ASU and the University of Texas-EI Paso. The KU pentathletes will travel to Tempel early for the pentathlon competition on Friday.
"Now we're looking forward to opening the outdoor season this weekend in Arizona."
Kim Jones made it to the finals of the long jump at the NCAA meet with a 2-02 leap in qualifying and a 19.7 in finals to finish eighth.
Denise Buchan threw 49-11-4 in the preliminaries of the shot-put competition, but missed qualifying for the finals in the event.
Scott Huffman and Jim Metzger competed in the pole vault at the NCAA meet.
Huffman, who set the KU freshman pole vault record earlier this season, qualified for the finals in Syracuse with a 17-foot vault in the qualifying rounds. But Huffman did not place in the finals.
The Kansas men's team opened the outdoor season at the Domino's Pizza Relays on Friday and Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla.
"He's never been in a meet with an opening height of 17 feet before," men's head coach Bob Timmons said. "He's a freshman. He made opening height and that's great."
The men will compete March 30 in the Ralph Higgins Invitational in Stillwater, Okla.
Season ends for three divers
By DAVID O'BRIEN Sports Writer
The 1885 season ended for three Kansas dives at the Zone D National Qualifying Meet this weekend in Fort Worth, Tex.
Lori Spurney, Mike Prangle and Kent Griswold came up short in their bids to qualify for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Swimming and Diving Championships.
Prangle was 10th in the men's one-meter dive with 430.85 points and 12th in the three-meter with 452.15.
"Mike was only 19 points away from qualifying in the one-meter," divining coach Kurt Anselmi said. "He had a really good meet."
Kent Griswold finished 13th in the men's one-meter with 411 points, and Lori Spurney was 15th in the women's one-meter with 379.25.
The top four finishers in each event qualified for the NCAA Championships. The qualifying meets included only diving events.
"It was a very good competition," Ansemi said. "All the divers had to qualify just to be there.
"They're a young group." Anselmi said, "and they will be in good shape for next year.
"For this being the first zone meet for our divers, they did really well."
Men's head coach Gary Kempf has said all season that the diving squad has become a key factor in the Jayhawks swimming and diving teams succeed. The qualifying meet will return next season. Prangle is a junior, Griswold a sophomore and Spurney a freshman.
The NCAA women's championship meet will take place this Thursday through Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The men's championships will be held the following weekend, March 28-30, in Austin, Tex.
"It was a good way for them to finish the season, even if they didn't qualify for nationals."
Several KU swimmers have qualified for the national meets, and the KU women team is expected to contend for a top 20 finish in Tuscaloosa. The women were deprived of the championships earlier this month. The KU women had won ten consecutive Big Eight titles.

The women made three stops in their seven day schedule. At the first stop, the Jayhawks took five place in the CIF championship in Las Cruces, N.M., March 7-10.

THE WOMEN LOST the first game to Northern Arizona 6-2 but bounced back to take a 3-2 victory over the University of New Mexico. The Jayhays played three games March 8, picking up wins over Utah and Binghamton before bowing to Central Arizona Junior College 1-0.

I used to think dieting was about limits.
