Track athletes sprint to NCAA Championships
SPORTS BRIEFS
Four athletes will represent the University of Kansas in the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, June 3-6, in Buffalo, N.Y.
TRACK
Candy Mason, Nevada, Mo., senior, and Big 12 Outdoor Performer of the Year, will compete in the pole vault and heptathlon. Her national rank of sixth in the heptathlon has earned her All-American honors.
Mason has been competing in multiple events since she was 8 years old and began competing in the triathlon for a club track team. She believes her experience will help her place high in the heptathlon.
"I feel extremely confident."
Mason said.
"I have been having great practices. I think I can place in the
top five if I can put it all together. I need to get the shot to click.
Mason also will compete in the pole vault, a relatively new addition to women's competition. She is ranked second in the nation and is expected to place in the top two in the championship.
"I plan to just go out and have fun with the pole vault," Mason said. "There are a lot of factors involved, but I think I can win it."
Scott Russell, Windsor, Ontario freshman, will compete in the javelin. His season best mark of 247-foot-7-inch javelin clinched the Big 12 title and ranked him fifth nationally.
"The competition (at nationalists) is amazing." Russell said. "There are some guys who can throw farther than me, but it is who does better on any given day."
Marlea Woodman, Belleville junior, hopes only to do her best and put together a solid performance in her first championship appearance. She will compete in the discus.
"I don't have a chance to place high, but I just want to throw well," Woodman said. "I'm just very excited to compete in my first nationals."
Woodman's 176-foot-4-inch throw set a new school record and earned her a rank of 17th in the country. However, three weeks before the conference competition, she rolled her ankle walking down a flight of stairs. Woodman does not worry that her performance will be hampered by the injury.
"During competitions I get into this zone," Woodman said. "When I throw, the adrenaline takes over, and the ankle doesn't bother me."
Kansas men's basketball forward Lester Earl underwent surgery on his left knee May 22 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for what medical experts call chondromalacia.
Lester Smith, St. Louis junior, will be competing in the triple jump. This three-time junior college All-American's mark of 52-foot-8 3/4-inch jump leads the conference and ranks 13th in the nation.
"All four of them have the capability to reach finals and score," Schwartz said. "I have a philosophy about nationals — if you continue to do what got you there, you have a good chance of scoring high."
BASKETBALL
Head coach Gary Schwartz feels confident about his team's chances.
The surgery was successful, team officials said.
Basketball forward Earl undergoes knee surgery
Wertzberger said no cartilage was removed. And while recovery from this operation is a slow process, Wertzberger said Earl is expected to be ready for the 1998-99 season.
"This is an injury of the joint surface of the patella (kneecap)," said Ken Wertzberger, hospital physician. "The operation performed is designed to take pressure off the area of the joint surface injury and to trv and prevent further injury."
Earl averaged 7.6 points and 6.5 rebounds coming off the bench for most of last season. He played in 26 games after becoming eligible to play for the Jayhawks on Dec. 20. He transferred from Louisiana State to Kansas in January 1997.
Earl was selected to the Big 12 Conference's All-Newcomer and All-Bench teams.

BASEBALL
Jayhawk catcher named to All-America team
University of Kansas catcher Josh Dimmick was named to the First Team Academic All-America University Division Baseball team yesterday. This is the second time that Dimmick has earned the honor with a 3.91 cumulative grade point average.
—Kansan staff report
Koenigs, 1977-1978, Darnell Valentine, 1979-1981, Lynette Woodard, 1980-1981, and Jacque Vaughn, 1996-1997.
The Wharton, Texas, senior is the fifth Jayhawk to earn the honor. Others include basketball players Ken
Dimmick is a KU Rhodes Scholar nominee. He led the Jayhawks with 60 RBI on the season. Dimmick was a two-time Big 12 Conference Player of the Week and a Honorable Mention All-Big 12 selection. He also received the school's Senior Scholar-Athlete Award.
VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball coach adds familiar face to staff
First-year volleyball coach Ray Berchard has hired a new member for next fall's coaching staff.
Jill Jones, Berchard's former assistant coach at Barton County Community College in 1997, has accepted the position with the goal of bringing her experience to the team.
Since February, Jones has been the interim head coach at BCCC, a team that went 59-3 with a thirdplace finish in the NJCAA tournament last season.
Having worked with Jones at BCCC, Coach Berchard said he felt very comfortable with Jones' coaching abilities and what she would bring to the University.
"At the University of Wyoming, she played under three different head coaches," Berchard said. "She was subjected to a wide range of theories and philosophies that will be very helpful in developing the kind of philosophy we plan to develop here."
As a student at the University of Wyoming, Jones was captain of the volleyball team in her senior season, leading them to a berth in the 1994 NCAA tournament. She said her experience as a student athlete would help her deal with the players in different ways.
"I can help teach them good techniques in passing, defense and outside hitting," Jones said. "But I also have a great deal of empathy for what the girls are going through when they have to travel all over and get up for class on Monday morning."
Jones said that she did not immediately plan to enter coaching after graduating from college. She said that when she received the call from Berchard asking her to coach at BCCC only a few months after graduating, she accepted
"I just fell into coaching, but I really enjoy it," Jones said. "I'm excited about working with Coach Berchard again."

TENNIS
Tennis doubles team loses in quarterfinals
The NCAA tournament run of the tennis doubles team of senior Enrique Abaroa and junior Luis Uribe came to an end last weekend in the quarterfinals who faced Bob and Mike Bryan of Stanford.
The team's weekend began well with a win against Florida's Nathan Oloiverheimer and Jeff Morrison, 6-3, 6-7 and 6-3 in the opening round. Abaroa and Uribe then beat James and Thomas Blake of Harvard, 6-4 and 6-4. Their winning streak ended Saturday when they lost to Stanford 6-3 and 6-3.
Despite the loss, Abaroa and Uribe have no cause for disappointment. By earning a seed in the NCAA Tennis Championship in Athens, Ga., the pair became the first men's doubles team to receive All-American honors since Craig Wildey and Chris Walker in 1991.
By advancing to the quarterfinals, Abaroa and Uribe matched the highest finish in the championships by a Javahawk doubles team.
