SPORTS University Daily Kansan, November 30, 1983 Page 14 Lifting Continued from p. 16 Washington, who has conducted extensive research in weight training and conditioning as part of her research at the University, provide the best program for athletes. Her interest in strength conditioning stems from her background as an athlete. She was both a basketball and a field standout in high school and college. She earned a degree in physical education and health in 1970 from West Chester State in West Chester, Pa., and a master's degree in Biodynamics and an associate's degree in the KU in 1975. Her thesis evaluated a weight program that she had designed. WASHINGTON SAID EAST Germany was a country studied for its weight-training programs because East Germans were in the labs doing research "that 10 years ago would have been unheard of." " Their times in swimming and running are just incredible," she said. At the conclusion of the 1880 Olympic Games in Moscow, East Germany held 11 of 14 women's swimming records and six of 15 track and field records. the United States' only Olympic record was set by Wilma Rudolph in the 100-meter race in the 1960 Olympics. The American team that record in the 1968 Olympics The East German women also hold eight world records in track and field. The weight program now used by the KU women's basketball squad, Washington said, was well thought out and was not developed hastily. It was somehow required small changes to progressed until the right combination was found. Washington said that in the past she had her team work on maintenance — or routine lifting — two days a week. Now she hopes to have the players work out at least three days a week to continue to build their strength. "IN THE OFF-SEASON, you hope we have motivated the athlete enough to have her return in better shape," she said. "We are doing a lot of recording this year so the athlete knows what kind of shape she was in when we started." Washington also said she had always been an advocate of good conditioning in basketball and thought it was important to continue research to expose her athletes to the best way to remain in top physical condition. Washington said she and her staff were building a program that her staff would use. "You have to look at your sport to see which program is best for you," she said. "Areas such as leg explosion, crunch and endurance are muskts for basketball." "My rookies are in a great situation now. This is something that will be there for them for four years. For us to feel we are carving out new ground." "NO MATTER WHAT sport you are, in weightlifting is very important," he said. "We use weightlifting to try to develop stronger muscles, but the newly found strength in the water." Both coaches said that in the off season, athletes concentrated on a larger number of repetitions with less intensity. During the regular period, athletes begin more intensive training with greater weights and less repetitions. "The advantage of a weightlifting program is that if you have two athletes with the same ability, the person who is heavier will have more strength, will have the advantage." Kemp said. Coaches at KU work closely with fitness director and strength coach Ken Jasper. "Basketball players require a great amount of endurance to be successful, therefore we stress drills that provide conditioning and endurance." Graff ONE GROUP of athletes that has consistently maintained a high level of fitness is the Soviet Union women's Olympic basketball team. The Soviet team has lost only two games in 25 years of international competition and is considered a favorite in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. One advantage is its year-round training program, compared with the six to eight-week training period for the U.S. basketball team. Would he be able to concentrate? How did he feel, beginning his senior season with the loss of his father? "WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED and I started to get a lot of calls from reporters, that kind of bothered me." Seurer said recently. "But I settled down from there and started thinking about the whole deal." Seurer Continued from p. 16 Seurer quickly settled down and began concentration on the job at hand. He was the centerpiece of a passing offense brought in by new head coach Mike Goffried, who had thrown 30 to 40 times a game. "I knew the possibilities were there, because of the type of offense we had," Seurer said. "There was a lot of high percentage stuff with a lot of option space for me to handle that. It is a good chance for the quarterback to do well." But the questions persisted about whether Swerer would be able to deal with the emotional drain of the investigation. The Thursday before KU lost its opener to Northern Illinois, the preliminary hearing began. Lawrence police officers testified that Bell had confessed on Aug. 17 to stabbing Frank Seurer Sr. THREE WEKES LATER, the Jayhawks were a disappointing 1-1-1 going into the Sept. 24 game against Southern California. For Seurier, the return to Los Angeles Coliseum brought memories of his father to mind. Seurer hadn't said much about his father since the beginning of the season, but after upsetting the Trojans 26-20, he said that "Pops" had been with him. "That was the big game for him. "That was the game he wanted to see more than anything," Seurer said. "I really did feel him there and knew that he was watching. I know from that he had the best seat in the house. The Huntington Beach, Calif. native responded with his best day a Jayhawk, connecting on 26 of 38 up for 385 yards and a touchdown. His performance on the coast earned him national exposure. Seurier was named Offensive Player of the Week by Sports Illustrated magazine. Suddenly, talk of a possible All-America birth sprang up. Seurier was becoming a familiar name to the nations' football fans, as was expected when he came to KU as a freshman. "I think the USC game was more of an emotional game for me, because of the situation that was happening — going back home, playing in front of my friends and the people that I knew," he said. BUT SEURER WASN'T always at the top of his game. Inconsistency, interceptions and questions about his father's death plunged the senior throughout his final season as a Javhawk. "It was kind of up and down," Seurer said about this season. "You had your bright moments and you also had your very dark moments. That's one thing that might have led to our season as a whole." KU opened its conference schedule two weeks after the UCS upstreet with a loss to struggling Iowa State. But Seurer again was on target the next week against cross-state rival Kansas State. Oklahoma State came to Lawrence next, and the Cowboy defense shut down Seuer, knocking him out of a first half with a hyperextended knee. PHYSICIANS SAID SEURER would miss at least the next two games. He battled back and started against Oklahoma the next "First of all, you have to want to play football because you go through so much crap just to play," he said. "It's always been worthwhile for me. When game time comes around, you sure as hell want to play because you've been working too hard not to." Searer threw for two touchdowns against the Sooners, but also had two interceptions. The next week he scored 14 touchdowns in KU's 34-23 loss to Colorado. The next game was against Nebraska. "The trial was the whole week before the Nebraska game," Seurer said. "The way it affected me was that I missed two practices, didn't get in to watch a lot of film and missed some meetings. I don't think I was bummed out or anything like that." HE HAD BECOME accustomed to the post-game questions about the murder, but it wasn't easy for him. "Sometimes it was hard to keep my emotions out of it, especially after a long game, when you’re the last one getting out of the locker room and you wanted to get out with your parents or your friends." Seurer said. "It got old some times." Suerer closed out his career in style with the victory over Missouri. He threw for $54 yards and two touchdowns, as the career surer as the big Eight's top passer "I don't think there could have been any better way to go out," Seurer said. After the game Gottfried praised Seurer for the toughness he had shown during the season "Frank's had a great year," Gottried said. "He's had his share of adversity, but he's fought from day one" SECHER LATER SAID, "I don't ever remember giving up at anything, anything at all. You've got to keep fighting, especially in football. You've got to go out and make people respect you personally." Seurer can stop fighting for a while. His career at Kansas is over, and so is the trial, although an appeal of Bell's conviction is likely. He is looking forward to an appearance in the Senior Bowl in January and a possible chance to play professional football. But now he can relax, spend some time with family and friends and enjoy himself. No more practices. The long season is finished. Larry Brown selected head of area games By the Kansan Staff KU basketball coach Larry Browns has been named honorary chairman of the Kansas Special Olympics Indoor Games East in Lawrence Friday and Brown said yesterday that despite KU basketball games tomorrow and Saturday, he and the Jayhawk basketball team would try to make appearances Friday night at a Special Olympics evening banquet following the first day's events. "I think it is a wonderful program," Brown said. "I got involved with helping Special Olympics when I was in Denver coaching the Nuggets. I'd like to continue that involvement here and I also want our kids to get involved." "It's going to be a busy weekend but we're going to all try and go to the beach." GROWN'S DEDICATION to the program was the main reason for him being honorary chairman, said Mr. Schoenberg of the Special Olympics in Lawrence. "I had heard very favorable reports from Special Olympics people around the country about coach Brown's involvement and dedication," Hahn said. "We also tried to get someone who would be visible to the public." "Couch Brown has been very helpful and cooperative with us in organizing activities for the weekend. He has also been added to be more helpful down the road." More than 1,280 handicapped athletes from the eastern half of Kansas are expected to participate in the Special Olympics in Lawrence Hahn said. The athletes will compete in three indoor sports, swimming, roller skating and volleyball. Fantasyland, 3210 Iowa St., will be the site of Fridays roller skating competition, and Robinson Center will indicate the volleyball events Saturday.
