By DAVE McQUEEN Sports Writer When she was a little girl, her father nicknamed her "Tudie" because she smiled a lot. Sports Writer And indeed, KU high jumper and spinner Tudie McKnight does smile a lot. Even after a long work recently with the KU women's track team, she was still smiling and cracking jokes with her teammates. IT'S HARD TO imagine that anyone as effervescent and outgoing as becknight, a girl from the Bronx before she came to New York, would ever be frustrated by anything. "Sometimes I get really frustrated in practice," McKnight said. "As an example, in last year's intersquared contest, my shoes for not jumping well." But this year, McKnight has put much of that frustration behind her. After jumping 19.4% at the Mason-Lynch Stadium, McKnight has established herself as one of the best long jumpers in the Big Eight this year. iut, despite her record-setting performance, it has been inconsistent. My manager is inconsistent. IT'S NOT THAT McKenny had been a poor long jumper in the past. Last year, she won the Big Eight indoor meet with a record-setting 19-3% jump. She also won the conference outdoor long jump title, again setting a conference mark by jumping 20-11%. That mark is also a KU outdoor record. "I've had problems getting off the boards on my right foot," Mcknight, a right-footed jumper, said. "I'm tired of being now so much that everything will sweep." One thing that has made McKnight click this year, besides improving in his leadership, is the THE ROAD TO Lawrence for McKnight began in Jamaica, where she was born. Her family moved to New York City when she was young. After an outstanding high school career, she was recruited heavily by several schools. Eventually, she narrowed her choices to Florida and KU. anyone. This person has noticed the difference is her coach, Theo Hamilton. Besides being an outstanding athlete, McKnight is also an excellent student, as her 3.5 grade point average in child development attests. While both schools have strong women's track programs, Florida doesn't offer a "SHE SEEMS more comfortable with herself," Hamilton, the women's assistant track coach, said. "She has been a long way since she's been here." "It's up to her how good she wants to be." Hamilton said. you do your best, then he'll yell at you."

I'd rather go to school to get better.' If anyone would know how good a long jumper McKnight is, it would be Hamilton. He holds the men's Big Eight long jump record and was the NCAA outdoor long jump champion in 1975. To see it, he McKnight has a lot of potential. While some people might think that she would miss the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City, McKnight said she liked Lawrence.

McKnight said that she would be hard-pressed to pick her favorite event. "If I could do only one event, it would probably be the long jump," she said. "But I like the quarter as much as I like the long jump. “IN THE long jump, I'm more of a technician. I know more about doing the long jump than running the quartet.” Currently, McKnight and the rest of the women's team are getting ready for the Big Eight Indoor Championships, which will be held next weekend in Lakeland. Neb. According to Hamilton, the women's high in the conference long jump. "I think she has an excellent chance," Hamilton said. "I've matured a whole lot," McKnight said. "I don't get frustrated anymore—take it everything in stride." MEKNIGHT DOES face some tough competition in Lincoln. Her 19-84 mark is the second best in the conference this season. She played Kelly Wenlock, who has injured 20-2. But McKnight feels confident that she'll clear the 20-foot mark at the conference indoor. She did have a few 20-foot jumps at the Mason-Dixon games, she said, but she poured on all of them. "I hope the whole team goes in with the same enthusiasm I have," Madden said, "everyone goes in with the same attitude. I do, we can surprise a lot of people."
