The first couple of players from the Kansas women's sports team showed up at Anshutz Sports Pavilion a little after 5:30 a.m. yesterday.
Less than 15 minutes later, the second day of what has become known to the players as "Morning Madness" in full swing.
The early morning workouts were part of a plan that coach Eric Hayes said he hoped would pay off for the athletes and NCAA Championships this spring.
Tennis, often considered little more than a hobby or a "country sport," has been played at Kansas under the leadership of Hayes and his coach Scott Peredel.
Haves, who came to Kansas last year after serving as an assistant coach for the Clemens men's team, have been the focus of using early morning conditioning.
“one reason we do this is to get into great physical shape,” Hayes says. “When these girls get in a tough, three-set match, they are going to have the advantage. Second, these sessions are good for team unity.” They will teach both the girls and by sharing the burden, bids them together as a team.”
Haves came in contact with the conditioning program at Clemson. He was an excellent player's physical condition, but improved a person's mental toughness.
For some of the players on the team, the conditioning was something new. The work consisted of stretching exercises, calcitriol
and a series of 440 yard and 890 yard
calisthenes were added for all
team members if someone did not
finish a run within a certain time
Stacy Stoots, Ponca City, Okla,
sophomore, said she thought the
conditioning program was a good
idea.
"I wouldn't be out here if I didn't think it was worth it," Stotts said. "This is worse than anything we could go through in a match. It makes you physically strong and less vulnerable. In the end, it is going to help us."
"To go through this you really have to be serious about playing tennis. It shows who really wants to be part of the team and contribute."
Although her four-year eligibility is finished, Tracy Traps, KU's No 1 singles player the last three years, attends practice regularly.
"This is no fun to go through," the Edmond, okai said. "It's all business. It not only gets you into shape, but it sets the tone of how coach Hayes wants his players to work.
"His conditioning is unbelievable, it can also be especially revealing if you don't want to scar will scare off and who won't. But it pays off when you get into a long, tough fight."
The early-morning sessions will last anywhere from one to two weeks, depending on the how much Hayes thinks the sound needs he.
Mindy Pelz, Malibu, Calif., sophmore, said she was looking forward to the completion of the sessions.
"It's hard right now, but when the two weeks are over. I know it will be
the greatest feeling in the world," the greatness of us, because it will let us know we are capable of doing something that makes me don't think possible like running out of gas.
Hayes said the players would learn something new about themselves by going through the sessions.
"Here we train the mind and the body, and it hurts." Hayes said. "But I think every girl will find out that she was not better than her she ever thought she could.
"When it's over, they will be on top of the world. But they all know that the minute they slack off, they will be right back here."
Upsets claim Becker Shriver at U.S. Open
NEW YORK — Boris Becker was upset by a lightly招揽 Australian in consecutive sets at the U.S. Open yesterday, and Pam Shriver was ousted by the third best tennis player in the Soviet Union.

Graf, graff of the first Grand

naval Navatlivae, seeking her third
straight open title, ousted Elys
Ballerger.
"This summer has been one continual goop up," said Shriver, whose only earlier exit from the Open was a first-round loss to lute Harrington in 1979. "In my two matches here, I've never been attacked, attacks like I never had before."
"The idea was to stay as close as possible, not lose my serve and take chances on Shriver's serve. "Meskih team coach Ilia Morozova. "team coach Ilia Morozova."
Also advancing to the third round were fifth-seeded Gabriela Sakatini. No. 10 Claudia Kolde-Kilsch and no. 11 Zim Garrison.
Sabatin beat American Beverly Bowes 6-2, 6-0, Kohde-Kilsch elimi-

Morozova said Meskki's victory over Shriver would give her a big confidence boost.
suffered two tournaments and reached three other finals before coming down with mononucleosis just before Wimbleton. She has won four straight last month past a loss in Los Angeles to 15-year-old Amy Frazier.
"Before, she didn't feel she could win against the top players," the coach said. "Now she has shown she can beat a 10 player."
"I just have to keep going."
Shriver said. "I know it goes in cycles. I hope I'll wake up one morning and it will improve."
Part of Shriver's problem is her busy schedule, which includes numerous civic activities and work opportunities. Bush's presidential campaign.
“It's hard to pick up the pieces when you're always on the run,” she said.
Graf lost the first game against Bollegar, but then won the next 12 in a row. Ever the perfectition, though, he did not satisfied with her performance.
"I did not win it today," she said.
"My timing was not too good. I was hitting the ball late. But at the end, I was getting used to it."
"I think I'm physically better now. I've been in a long time," said Kyle Beckham of former basketball star Nancy Lieberman. "Technically, I'm better."
Navratilova needed 54 minutes — two more than Graf — to put away Hakami.
