Kansas swimmers claim 15th place at NCAA meet

The Kansas women's swim team took six team members to the NCAA championships this past weekend. They returned with all Six-Americans and a 15th-place team finish.
"I am proud for the ladies and the entire program," coach Gary Kempf said. "The results were a reflection of our team's accomplishment and ample wind for the seniors to go out."
The Jayhawks, whose 15th-place finish was the second highest in team history, were led by senior Barb Pranger.
Pranger competed in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly and as a member of four of Kansas' five relay teams. She placed seventh in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 54.88, the best finish in the meet for the Jayhawks. Her 14th place finish in the 200-yard butterfly in a time of 2:03.05 earned her All-American honors. She also was an All-American in the 100-yard butterfly for the fourth year in a row.
"This was an accomplishment that I have been wanting to do for four
years," she said about finishing in the top eight of the 100-yard butterfly for the first time in her collegiate career
Although Pranger's individual accomplishments led the way for the movement, he is remembered as a great leader.
Senior Heather McRoberts and junior Aimee Brainard led the Jayhawks to a 10th place in the 400 yard freestyle relay in 3:24.47, moving the team from 16th to 15th place overall. Other members of the relay were sophomores Krista Cordsen and Ronda Lusty.
"This was a better feeling of achievement than winning Big Eights," McRoberts said of the team's showing. "It was something I've been waiting four years for."
Pranger agreed that the Jayhawks had improved their national standing.
"I felt we were much more a part of the meet than ever before," she said.
Cordsen was the only other Jayhawk to compete in individual events. She placed 24th in the 100-yard breast-stroke in a time of 1:04.34 and 19th in the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 2:03.37.

pleased with the outcome of the meet, he said the results could have been better.
"We qualified three relays in the ninth position," he said. "That is the toughest position to swim in, but they swam well under the pressure."
At the NCAA championships, the eight fastest swimmers swim in the championship heat, which count more points, and places 9 through 16 swim in the consolation finals.

Coach Steve Guymon, 30, and Jason Teal, 21, were arrested early Sunday, March 15, after taking the champagne from the Tobacco Station store in downtown Indianapolis. Kansas State track athlete Todd Trask was also charged in the theft.
Teal said he was returning to his hotel with Trask when Trask stumbled through a security screen and grabbed the bottles of champagne. He said the two then ran to the Holiday Inn.
He said Guymon only became involved when Teal and Trask entered Guymon's room, where they were apprehended by a security guard.
The three men spent the rest of the weekend in the Marion County Jail before appearing in court on the 16th.
Guymon pleaded guilty to criminal conversion, a legal term for stealing, and two counts of criminal trespass. Three counts of resisting officers were dismissed.
Teal pleaded guilty to criminal conversion and three counts of resisting arrest. Two counts of trespassing were dismissed.
Trask pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and criminal conversion. Two counts of criminal trespass were dismissed. All three were ordered to pay $50 fines and $113 in court costs.
"They aren't common criminals," track coach Gary Schwartz said. "They are guilty of making a really stupid decision."
"There is a whole other side to this," he said. "Everything is not as it appears."
Guymon declined comment until after the meeting.
Schwartz said a meeting was scheduled with Bob Frederick, athletic director, for today. He said he would be there until the evening of his political action until after the meeting.

kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham said coming into the Jayhawks' four-game weekend series against Kansas State that his team wasn't playing well.
The Jayhawks are now 15-7 overall and 1-3 in the Big Eight Conference. K-State is 19-9 overall and 3-1 in the conference.
"The preparation was not good and we didn't execute at all," Bingham said. "K-State may have had a lot to do with it. But I'm concerned with our

Four Kansas pitchers yielded 17 hits yesterday, the most the staff has given up all season, including 11 by starter
A play in the second inning may haunt the Jayhawks down the road. Jason Spallito was on first base for the Wildcats. Kansas second baseman Jeff Berlinger fielded a ground ball by Hipp and tagged out Spallito, who was on his way to second. During the play, Berlinger injured his wrist.
Bingham said it might be broken. Berlinger said he had to wait until the swelling went down to know for sure. Freshman Chris Kokaly replaced Berlinger and went 0 for 3.

Many people think building a CD player and a CD changer is the same. Not Denon. Denon engineers recognize that people who buy CD changers usually play them for longer periods of time.
Thus, Denon set out to build the most reliable CD transport possible, using experience gained from designing the Denon DN-900 Series CD Cart machines. These professional CD players operate day and night, day in and day out, in thousands of radio stations throughout the world.

Then, Denon added convenience features such as remote control, random and repeat play modes, the ability to change four of the five discs while the fifth continues to play, and bi-directional carousel rotation for quickest disc access.
Before you choose any changer, get to the heart of the matter—the transport mechanism itself. Then, the one thing you won't have to change is your changer.
