New coach for volleyball announced
Karen Schonewise, assistant volleyball coach at Kansas for the last six years, has been named head coach for the 1994 season, Kansas officials announced yesterday.
This is her first head-coaching position.
Schonewise played collegiate volleyball for Nebraska and was part of four Big Eight Conference championship teams. She was named conference player of the year in 1986.
Her number, 13, was retired at Nebraska in 1989.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said he was impressed with the results.
Along with a successful college career, she went on to be the first pick for the Minnesota Monarchs in the first year of Major League Volleyball in 1987.
Schonewise was hired after the contract for former Kansas coach Frankie Albitz's letter of appointment was not renewed in January.
Runners earn honors
Seniors John Bazzoni and Michael Cox, along with junior Kristi Kloster, achieved All-America status at the NCAA track championships in Indianapolis last weekend.
Bazzoni, the Big Eight Conference champion in the pole vault, jumped a personal best 17-8 1/2, good enough for a fifth-place finish.
Cox earned his All-America honor with a ninth-place finish in the mile run. He finished with a time of 4:10.08.
Kloster ended up in eight place with a time of 2:15.02.
"We took three athletes to the finals and came home with three All-Americans," he said. "I think our program has a lot to be proud of."
Women head to NCAA swim meet
By Andrew Gilman Kansan sportswriter
When Emily Peters, Jennifer Davis and Krista Corden leave for Indianapolis today to compete in the NCAA swimming championships, they will bring everything and nothing.

These three women, who have won four individual Big Eight Conference titles this season, will represent the Kansas swim team with both experience and inexperience.
Cordsen, Rome, N.Y., senior, will be swimming in her third championship meet in her four years at Kansas.
Peters, Bloomington, Minn., freshman, will be swimming at the NCAA meet for the first time. Davis, Albany, Ore., sophomore, has two years of college experience but never has been to the NCAA's.
The Jayhawks will attempt to blend the experience of Cordsen with the desire of Peters and Davis, when they begin swimming Thursday. The meet ends Saturday.
The top 27 national swimmers in each event qualify for the NCAA meet.
Sophomore Jennifer Davis (front), freshman Emily Peters (center), and senior Krista Cordsen, paused between laps during practice yesterday. The three swimmers qualified to compete in the NCAA championships this weekend.
sufficient quality for the ivory market. Cordsen will be swimming the 200- and 400-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke
"I've taken all the past experiences and looked at them," she said. "Now I know what to expect and what to think."
After competing her freshman and sophomore years, Cordsen said now was her time.
"My first year was the typical freshman experience," she said. "I walked in there with my eyes open and mouth on the floor. The second time I was there I had experience, but it was more of a stupid feeling. I got up on the blocks and wasn't focused. I was still immature.
"This year I've prepared more mentally. I've talked to sports psychologists and realized that I do belong and that I should go."
Although Peters is a freshman, she said she has always thought of herself that way when swimming.
"NCAA's have been my goal all season.
"Just a, 'just get in and swim.'
She said that she would have to be in control to perform well at NCAA's.
"I need to make my swims more perfect," Peters said. "Of course, I'd like
to go faster, but I need to have fun and swim in control."
She did that at the conference championship, winning the 500-yard freestyle. And she has done it at other national meets as well.
She swan to a first-place finish in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival in San Antonio, Texas, and also went to Kobe, Japan to swim at the U.S. Pan Pacific Games.
Even with the experience of swimming at the big meets, Peters said the NCAA's will be totally different.
"This is one of the fastest meets for short course swimming in the world," she said. "There is more of a team atmosphere."
That team atmosphere is something that Peters said she was not familiar with when she came to Kansas.
"My high school was different," she said. "I basically swam for myself, and when I got here, I had to adjust to a
team. I've learned how to support other team members and now realize it's a lot of fun."
Davis, who won the 200-yard freestyle at the conference championships, didn't expect to be competing at the NCAA Championships.
"After the Big Eight meet, I didn't think I had a chance," she said. "Now people don't expect me to be there. There are no pressures for me."

That lack of pressure has led her to place no specific goals for herself, and that's the way she likes it.
"That's what it's all about," she said. "Surprises."
The Jayhawks will hope to surprise many this weekend, but they will have to be ready to swim for themselves, Cordsen said.
"Right now there are some doors that can be opened," she said. "As long as we focus on ourselves, then that's what's important."
