Page 8 University Daily Kansan, March 23, 1982 Wilkin leads Javhawks golf team to third By BILL HORNER Sports Writer Kansas' Rob Wilkin captured medalist honors by five shots in leading the Kansas men's golf team to a third place finish in the Gulf Coast Invitational at Padre Island, Texas, last week. Wilkin's performance in the Jayhawks' first tournament of the spring season was, in the words of assistant coach Kent Weiser, white. "Rob was the only player in the field to attack the course. He went out for birdies, not pars. Every day he went out to shoot a lower score than he did the day before. He was a pleasure to watch." Weiser said. play for Kansas, played the tough Padre Island Country Club course in even-par 284 for 72 holes of play, capturing his first major college win and preparing a lead condition which the NCAA Championships in late May. "I didn't play up to my potential last spring, so I knew that to make it to the NCAA Championships I'd have to come back," he said. "He really happy about it." Also happy about Wilkin's play was head golf coach Ross Randall, as well as the rest of the team. Not so satisfying was the team's third place finish. "I'd say that we are happy with third, but we could have done better," Randall said. "Talent-wise, we should have done much better." "AFTER THE guys saw how tough the course was playing and how strong the field was, they were happy with third, but not 'satisfied,' "Weiser said. Weiser cited mental errors as the cause of the team's first tournament woes, and added that as the year goes on, the team needs to move more at ease and up to their abilities. Wichita State captured first place in the eight-tteam field, which included several small universities and junior colleges, all with strong golf programs. The Shocher's team total of 1,160 strokes beat Central Oklahoma by 26 shots. Kansas finished 51 shots in back row. Western Kentucky junior College took fourth. INDIVIDUALLY, Shocker golfers claimed second, third, fourth and fifth places, led by Kelly Isham and Greg Towne with 289 totals. The rest of the Jayhawk scoring was Dean Frankiewicz, 305, Brad Demo. 309, Jeff Sheppard, 310, Jim O'Shea, 318, and Tad Fugate. 322. Wilkin, who won medalist titles four times while earning All-American honors at Coffeville juco, was happy with his play, but he claimed the other team members were not happy with theirs. Weiser echoed Wilkin's comments, saying that, "Rob has set the challenge for the rest of them to go for. The technicals, the guys are hitting their feet," fine. "We've had the taste of the first tournament. Everyone is looking forward to the next one because they didn't play that well in this tournament. No one really played consistently well," he said. The Jayhawks next competition will be at the Park College Invitational in Kansas City, Mo., in April. Swimmers place 14th By MIKE ARDIS Sports Writer The Kansas women's swim team finished fourteenth in the NCAA swimming championships over the highest they've ever finished. Yet Head Coach Gary Kempf said it could have been better. "Our goal had been the top ten," he said. "We had the potential. We need to get over the hump. We need to realize we can do it." Kansas finished the meet with 40 points. Florida won the meet with 365 points, winning 13 events. Texas and North Carolina was third with 225. THE HIGHEST finish by a Jayhawk was Tammy Thomas' third place finish in the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 23.2 making her an All-American. The top 12 places are awarded All-America status. Wagstaff was the other individual All-American for KU with her sixth place finish in the 100 butterfly in 55.3. She was also on the 800 Thomas was eighth in the 100 freestyle in 50.8 and on the 200 freestyle relay team with Celine Cerny, Jenny Wagstaff and Stephanie Raney which finished eighth. freestyle relay team with Raney, Shelly Bieck and Susan Schaefer which finished 11th in 7:34.2. Points are awarded for the top 12 places and the Jayhawks had five 13th place finishes. "It was really frustrating." Kempf said. "The positive side is that we're moving closer to what we want." THIS IS the first year the NCAA is offering championships in women's sports, and not all schools were at the NCAA meet. At the AIAW championships, Texas won for the second straight year with Florida State and Southern Illinois in 1981. In IU in a dual meet in January, 76-73. SIU was the only top school KU faced in dual meet this year and Kemp said the lack of good competition hurt the Jayhawks in national meets. "We go from being the dominant team to being just one of the teams," he said. The Jayhawks will have another chance next year as they return all seven members of their national team. Kempi is also trying to set up dual meets with teams that finished in the playoffs. Texas is tentatively scheduled and Kempf said he was trying for two more schools.

She has also been able to can be a tremendous offensive threat." Other players named to the All-Region VI team were Central Missouri State's Carla Endes, Missouri's Laura Copenan and Debbie Hunter.

KU tennis team splits By GARY GRIGGS Sports Writer The JHAYAWKS started the trip off by losing to Oral Roberts, 2-7. They were scheduled to play Tulsa on Monday day, but that match was rained out. Before the Kansas Jayhawks men's team even started out on their annual spring trip, they knew they would have one disadvantage. Their opponents had been playing outdoors long before the Jayhawks had. The Jayhawks did not let that stand in their way, however, as they split their four matches on the trip. They now stand 3.2 overall. Kansas picked up its first win of the trip by defeating Texas at Arlington, 1-8. They then won by North Texas State, 1-8. On the final day of the trip, the Jayhawks came from behind to that Cooke County Junior College, 6-4. "Obviously they had played more than we had, but that is the kind of thing you just have to live with," Head Coach Randy McGrath said recently. McGráth said he thought the trip was a successful one. Cooke County, the third-ranked junior college team in the country, led the match 4-2 after singles play, but the Jayhawks came back and swept all three doubles matches to win the contest. "The kids really showed me a lot by coming back like they did in that match with Cooke County," he said. "We had our backs up against the wall, and with them we could play." The kids could have said, 'lets just pack up and head for home,' but they didn't. "They hung right in there and never gave up. That kind of display by a team really makes a coach feel good." "Last year, it just seemed at times that we would just go through the motions and not really be into the matches," he said. "This year we are hustling and really going after people. I just hope we can keep it up." ACCORDING TO McGrath, this year's team is more competitive than teams of the past. The Jayhawks were paced on the trip by No. 4 singles player, freshman Craig Tidwell, and the No. 2 doubles team of freshman Scott Alexander and senior Ed Bolen, who finished with 3-1 records on the trip. "What was really encouraging was the way we came back and won that match with Cooke County. That really demonstrated durability and team unity on our part." "I think we had a pretty productive trip," Bolen said. "We gained a lot of experience and I think we got the jitters out of our game." MEGRATH SAID the only disappointing thing about the trip was getting rained out of the Tulsa match. "Tulia really has a strong team, they had even defeated a tough Oklahoma team," he said. "I definitely think you have been a good experience for us." The Jayhawks begin a string of five consecutive home matches this afternoon, when they play host to Southwest Missouri State. The match is set for 1:30 p.m. on the courts behind Allen Field House. The team is still without two of its players. Sophomore Charles Stearns has a thumb injury and junior Franco Beltran is expected to be out indefinitely. Both are expected to be out indefinitely. The Jayhawks will begin Big Eight play on the weekend of April 9-11, when they travel to Stillwater, Oka, to play in State, Colorado and Missouri. kinko's copies Kinko's Copies is offering you We'll copy your tax forms for quicker than you can say "Uncle quality Xerox reproduction, so come on down to Kinko's where the original.
