'Hawks are on the run as season nears its end
By Angela Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
Freshman All-American Scott Russell led the Jayhawks by winning the Javelin title Friday and Saturday at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
Russell's toss of 232 1/2 feet was 1/2 feet less than his personal best. Russell has qualified provisionally for nationals in the event.
Coach Gary Schwartz has said that Russell was recruited specifically as a javelin specialist, but the Windsor, Ontario, native first made an impact during the indoor season when he broke the school record for the 35-pound weight throw. He threw 67-6/14 at the NCAA Indoor Championships March 13 and 14 in Indianapolis, Ind.
Russell also competed in the hammer throw this weekend and placed 12th with a loss of 178-10.
Last weekend at the Mount Sac Relays in Los Angeles, Russell threw 194-7 in the hammer.
"Younger athletes like Scott are not as experienced and haven't achieved consistency at this level," Schwartz said.
Weather conditions also contribute to inconsistencies,
Schwartz said.
"It had rained hard on Friday night," he said. "For Marla Woodman, the field was wet and the (disc) ring was slippery."
In women's distance, senior Lynn LoPresti set a personal record in the 10,000-meter run. She placed 11th with a time of 36 minutes, 42.95 seconds.
"It was a very good effort from Lynn," Schwartz said. "She has the ability to place at conference."
Junior Lester Smith set a personal record in the triple jump. He placed fourth with a mark of 51-1 1/2. Smith's performance was only 61/2 inches from a qualifying mark for nationals.
In the men's pole vault, sophmore Garrett Attig placed 10th with a jump of 16-10 1/4. Senior Marc Romito jumped 16-5 1/2 and placed 11th.
Freshman All-American Andrea Branson struggled in the women's pole vault. She cleared 10-4 — almost two feet less than her personal best — for 13th place.
At the University of Missouri-Kansas City Invitational on Saturday, the Jayhawks captured three individual titles and 20 top-five performances.
Senior David Cooksey, who had missed much of the last two seasons because of injuries, ran a personalbest 21.36 in the 200-meter dash and claimed the title.
Freshman Greg Steele won the men's polevault. He cleared 155.
On the women's side, senior Lisa Beran won the discus with a throw of 149-9.
Sophomore Ricardo Amezuca was the only Jayhawk who competed at the 104th Penn Relays in Philadelphia. He placed 13th in the 10,000-meter race with a time of 29:57.96.
Amezcua, a native of Acambaro,
Mexico, placed 14th in the 10,000 at last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships in Bloomington, Ind. Last weekend, Amezcua qualified provisionally for nationals in the 10,000-meter at the Mount Sac Relays.

Saberhagen bouncing back from shoulder injury
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Bret Saberhagen stands in the Boston Red Sox clubhouse with his foot on a couch, answering questions. He stays until every one is answered, until every opportunity for a joke or a wisecrack is taken.
What a pleasure it must be for the two timeAL Cy Young Award winner to talk about pitching again. He's spent the better part of three years
crying to bring his shoulder back to life.
He's done the same for his career.
"I wasn't afraid," said Saberhagen (4-0), who has won his first four starts to begin an inspiring comeback from career-threatening shoulder injuries. "I was ready to accept that if things didn't work out, I'd go on with the rest of my life."
show flashes of his old dominance. He has a i 96 ERA, a fastball in the low 90s and the pluck and fluidity that some feared he would never recapture.
"I was hoping I'd get back," Saberhagen said. "I didn't want to come back and be an average pitcher. I wanted to get back throwing the way I was before the surgery."
for Colorado and was healthy enough to make only six starts last season for the Red Sox.
Saberheng, who won the Cy Young Award in 1985 and '89, had his right shoulder reconstructed after the 1995 season. He didn't throw a pitch in 1996
If it was painful to watch Saberhagen hang around with nothing to do last year, just imagine how if felt to him.
"Pitch in, pitch out, I'm not thinking,
'Oh, I hope it doesn't blow out,'"
Saberheng said.
His shoulder still isn't completely back. It gets tired around 100 pitches, which used to be a mere warmup when he came up as a spindy, faintly
mustachioed rookie with the Kansas City Rovals in 1984.
There was so much workhorse in that skinny body back then.
"I wasn't able to go out and throw on the side, do my long toss and my weights," Saberhagen said, recalling those long, lonely days of rehabilitation. "It's just the opposite now. I'm able to bounce back."
For a clue as to why Saberhagen, 34, was willing to endure that work without reward on the mound, the
fifth inning of Boston's 3-2 victory over the Indians on Saturday is a perfect example.
With runners on first and second and two outs, Saberhagen rocked into that easy, textbook motion and whizzed a cut fastball over the inside corner to freeze and strike out Kenny Lofton. He used the same pitch to tie up Jim Thome, resulting in weak pop-ups in the second and fourth.
"I can only imagine what his stuff used to be." Thome said.
