Hostile waters await KU swim team
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swimming and diving team will enter hostile waters tomorrow at Iowa State.
Coming off of a home meet against Nebraska in which Kansas honored its seniors, Kansas will experience the other side this weekend Iowa State is having its final home meet and will be honoring its seniors.
"They always want to beat us," said Kansas coach Gary Kempf. "We're going to be walking into a buzzsaw this week."

Iowa State's men's team is ranked 24th and is undefeated. Iowa State defeated Nebraska two weeks ago by three points, and the 21st-ranked Jayhawks lost to Nebraska last week by five points.
The swimmers said they felt good about their performance against Nebraska on Friday.
"We're pretty confident going into this week-end," said senior Kostaki Chiligiris. "We're coming off a good meet last week."
Iowa State will be seeking revenge from last year's 157.5-135 defeat by Kansas. Kemp said he expected the meet would be close on the men's side.
The Kansas women are not expecting a challenge from Iowa State. The Cyclones have not won a conference meet and are 3-6 overall. Kansas plans to work on sharpening its races and improving its times against a Cyclone team in the midst of a rebuilding season, Kemp said.
This weekend is only a stepping stone for the
Jayhawks in their preparation for the Big 12 Championships at the end of the month.
"Our major goal is the conference championship," Kempf said. "We're pointing at the
conference championship, not at this weekend. I was real proud of how we swam last week, and if we take the next step, we should do really well."
Baseball transfer to hit the ground running
By John Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
Junior-college transfer Cliff Bryson's face lights up when he talks about running around the diamond.
"Yeah, I'm fast," Bryson said. "My defense has always been a trademark because I can run most balls down — I can steal a lot of bases, too."
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said Bryson was one of the most talented players on the team. He said
Bryson is a 5-foot-10, 185-pound right-handed hitter from Flagstaff, Ariz. At Yavapai College last season, he batted .334 with eight home runs, 35 runs batted in and 26 stolen bases.
Bryson: Will compete for centerfield position
Bryson had great bat speed, a strong arm and solid glove in the outfield.
"Cliff can run, throw and hit with anyone here," Randall said. "But the intricacies of baseball don't come as easily to him as some. He has the pure skills to be a
solid number lead-off for us, but he has to harness those skills."
Randall said raw talent could take a player only so far before he had to develop that talent to improve.
"I know I have a lot to learn to suc
I know I have a lot to learn to succeed at this level," Bryson said. "When Coach Randall tells you something to do in the cage, it motivates you because he knows what he's talking about. He played in the big leagues."
Randall said one area in which Bryson needed to improve was hitting to all parts of the field.
"He tries to pull everything into left field." Randall said. "Once he starts going with pitches and spraying the ball around, he'll hit with more power and for a better average."
Bryson will compete with New Mexico transfer Clint Wyrick for the starting centerfield position. Wyrick hit .373 with six stolen bases in 12 games for the Lobos last
season.
The other player will play left field.
"It'll be nice because they both have the fielding skills of a center-fielder." Randall said. "There shouldn't be too many fly balls we can't chase down."
Bryson had trouble developing consistency in junior college, but Randall said he thought consistency would come from greater attention to the small details.
"He had some games last year in junior college when was en fuego, but he also had some games he didn't show up. "Randall said. "If Cliff can focus on every play and put his speed to use, he will be a great player for us."
