But senior diver Tim Davidson is doing his part to make people remember.
Some may forget that diving is part of Kansas swimming and diving.
To get to the NCAA championships, a diver first must qualify for the zone meet. Thirty-five divers qualify for the championships based on their performances in the zone meet.
Davidson is the only Kansas diver to qualify for the zone meet this year, and he is coming off two first-place finishes Saturday at Southern Illinois
"I'm trying to focus on raising my scores," he said. "I want to be the best I can be when I get to conference."
By Andrew Gilman Kansan sportswriter
Diving leader focuses efforts on reaching championships
But now Davidson would prefer to focus on improving.
Kansas diving coach Don Fearon doesn't think that will be an issue.
"He's a competitor." Fearon said. "He's coming around. He's becoming more focused."
Davidson will have to remain
"I'm going to have to be stronger," Davidson said. "But that's well within my capabilities."
focused even before the Big Eight Conference meet. This week he will face a two-time conference champion in Iowa State's Stephen Nadelman.
"I'm happy with my seasonal bests, "he said. "I need about 10 more points, but as long as I don't take a step backward at this point, that's more important."
Although Davidson beat Nadelman earlier this season at the Minnesota Invitational, Davidson is concerned about his own performance.
There's little chance a step backward is in the future for Davidson, at least not one that his teammates perceive. Davidson was elected co-captain of this year's team.
So far this year Davidson has posted a team best 312.90 in the 3-meter dual event. Davidson also has posted a team best 303.60 in the 1-meter dual event, but he said he realized that he needed to improve.
Panel discussion with Dr. David Shulenburger JonJosserand, Senator Sandy Praeger and John Shoemaker
"But really I try to lead by example. It's more of pushing people in the right direction. I'm a person who's looked to, but there's lots of guys on the team who are leaders. All of us want the same things, we're all looking the same direction."
"It's really an honor," he said.
Get the facts on the tuition increase!
That direction is the conference championship. The Jayhawks' last conference title was in 1979. Since then, Nebraska has won 14 consecutive titles.

"I don't ever expect to win," he said. "I approach it one day at a time. The only thing that I expect is to compete at a level that will allow me to win."
"Conference is a huge matter," Davidson said. "I want all of us to be able to hit on all cylinders at once. If we can do that, we'll be a force to reckon with."
Davidson has never won a conference championship, but he has never finished lower than third.
"I've never been a champ," he said. "But I'm looking to raise my game that one extra step."
Kansas senior diver Tim Davidson practices an inward dive in the pike position from the 3-meter board. He practiced Monday in Robinson Natatorium.
What's Davidson's secret?
