Recruits shun women's gym team, swell other women's sports teams
This summer's recruitment turned up nothing for the women's gymnastics team but is expected to bolster the returning team's volleyball, softball, track and swimming.
Coming off what he admits was a bad recruiting year, women's gymnastics coach Ken Snow said he would be banking primarily on his returnees this year.
Returning from last year's squire are Karen Mundy, Shawnee junior; Rene Neville, Wichita junior; and Angie Wagle, which were all around performers last year.
"Most of the kids I tried to recruit signed elsewhere," Snow said. "I was close on three kids, and you usually get one out of three, but it didn't happen this year."
**SNOW SAID KU's facilities and the short workout times may have prevented some of his prospects from signing here. The girls have the use of the gym for two and a half hours, he said, but they must set up and take down the equipment before and after practices, cutting their workout time by an hour.**
"Girls working on an elite level would be disappointed."
Snow said he was looking forward to the completion of phase II of Robinson Gymnasium when his team would be able to workout in a full gym.
Recruitment in other women's winter and spring sports have plugged holes and filled them.
The volleyball roster was only nicked by the loss of one player from last year's state championship.
900 Stollant, returning for his second year as women's volleyball coach, said he plugs any gaps with
scholarship signe Diane Schroeder-
Schroeder, from Ogallala, Neb., was an all-stele selection for two years and led her
championships for her junior
and senior years.
STANCLIFT ALSO is counting on the services of Mary Maughan, a 8-4 sophomore transfer from Washburn; Kryan Dawner, a 5-9 junior college transfer from Pratt; Dorothy Witry, a 5-9 transfer from Allen County Community College; and Nancy Owens, a junior college regional all-star team; and Nancy Owens, 'one of the best 8 players,' according to Stanclift.
Owens, daughter of Kansas cage coach Ted Owens, played on Lawrence High School.
In softball, Stancill expects to pick up some help from Julie Snodgrass, a softball and volleyball standout from Lawrence, and he will play on the North Island's softball team and played on North's volleyball team, which finished second to Lawrence in class SA. Forew will be counted on Germany or North Graves from KU's conference and state championship team.
OTHER PROSPECTS are Lu Ann Stanley, a pitcher from Lawrence, and Jill Bowman, a junior college transfer from Ellinwood. Bowman finished second in the hurdles her freshman year in the junior college national meet.
Shooting for sprinters, hurdlers and quartermilers. Tom Lionvale, women's track and field coach, nabbed four recruits to bolster KU's women's track program

Lionvale hopes he has found some needed depth in his corps of trackers.
Lionale said Lowry will compete in the 60-yard hurdles, 100-meter hurdles and on the 400-meter relay team. Lowry was ranked ninth among all athletes in L. 14.5 in the 110-yard hurdles, according to the girls' prep honor role published by the National Federation of State High Schools. She and the Field meet in Wichita, she can the 100-meter hurdles in 14 seconds.
Thomas was the defending Idaho champion the past two years in the long jump and the 100-, 220- and 75-yard dashes. Although she jumped $18^{\prime \prime}$ in high school, Lowry probably won't long jump extensively in college, Lionsale said.
Jumping might cause an injury that would burden your career, he said.
Miles attended Nemaha Valley High School and was the state champion in the indoor 60-yard dash (she was injured before the 1977 state outdoor meet). She has clocked times of 11.0 in the 100-yard dash and 25.3 in the 220.
Girl's swimming coach Gary Kempf may have to move to a larger pool when his team jumps in the water for the first time this fall. Kempf has signed between 10 and 15 recruits, and is counting on the return of last year's Big East champion squad.
"We picked up some girls" where we needed them," Kempf said.
