KU tracksters don red shirts
By MIKE ARD'S Sports Writer
Kansas State's football coach redshirted many of his top players this year with hopes of improving his team in the future.
The trend apparently has spread east. Three of Kansas' top track athletes have decided to sit out this season.
Triple jumper Sanya Owolabi, long jumper Mark Hanson and spinner Deen Hogan have sidelined themselves.
All three have won Big Eight gold medals and Owolabi won the NCAA indoor triple jump in 1980. Hogan once held the record world in the 200 meters.
While the three are redshirts, they won't be away from competition. They just will not compete for KU.
we're still members of the team, it's just that we're redshirted," Hanson said. "Being redshirted means you don't have to go to practice."
FOR HOGAN AND OWOLABI, the decision to redshirt themselves came about after they suffered injuries in the spring season.
"Right now, I wouldn't have that good of a year," Owolabi said. "I'll get my strength back."
For Hanson, the decision came about after talking with Hogan and Owolabi.
"I thought about it when Sanya and Den talked about it and I had to go an extra year for school," Hanson said. "I wouldn't be the only one doing it."
Graduating in '83 means that the three will be only one year away from the '84 Olympics. Hogan and Owolabio would like to be an all-American, which would like to be an All-American, which
he believes he has a better chance for in '83.
"That's the big thing," Hanson said. "It's a step closer."
The year before the Olympics, Hogan and Owolabi said, they would like to stay at KU and train with the team while taking graduate courses.
"It's always easier to train with someone," Hogan said.
This year Hogan and Hanson are taking extra courses so that their business can keep up.
"If I get more classes out now, I will be happy to use it easy that last year." Hanna said.
Although they will be competing this year in some events, the three are working on strength and endurance concentrating so much oncompeting.
"You're on your own." Owolabi said of training this year. "You train according to when the meet are."
BESIDE TRAINING on their own, the athletes also must pay their way to meets because they are not on the team.
"The policy has been that when a guy redshirts, he pays his own way, which is a big deal," assistant coach Steve Kuefer said.
"It's not that unusual," Head Coach Bob Timmons said.
Because the decisions of Owolabi and Hogan were based on injuries, they said they had no doubts about their injuries, said he has not always been sure.
"Sometimes I regret it," he said. "It's always in the back of my mind. But sitting around with Deen and Sanya is great it's going to be changes things."
Redshirtship has become more noticeable since schools have gone to it hoping for a better future.
last year will be 1983, and there will be a large number of seniors on the team. This experience led several universities to be a very good year for Kansas.
"We're looking at '83 as one of the biggest years at KU in track," Haq said. "We're looking at a possible national championship."
Women golfers take sixth
The women's golf team, coming off a sixth place finish in the Missouri Tiger Invitational, will close out its fall season by hosting the Kansas Invitational at the Alvamar Golf Course tomorrow and Friday.

The tournament, which will consist of six area teams, will end a somewhat dismal fall season for the Jayhawks. The team's sixth place finish in the Missouri tournament was one of their best finishes this season.
"THE TEAM IS behind schedule to where I thought they would be at this time. Tom Fischer, assistant coach who is now in charge are not playing up to our capability."
The contenders for the top spot at the Kansas Invitational should be Missouri and Nebraska, but as the home team, Kansas should finish near the top. It will be KU's Bev Boozer's first tournament in Lawrence since she won the Lawrence City Women's Tournament by 24 strokes.
"Playing on our home course will really help us," Fischer said. "Missouri and Nebraska will be tough, but if we succeed we could surprise some people."
the Jayhawks have played in this season. Instead of the typical 18 holes per day, the tournament will be played 27 holes each with the players playing 27 holes each day.
The Kansas Invitational's format will be a little different from most of those
FISCHER SAID that in most tournaments, a team could make up a lot of ground if it got behind early, but he said after the first round of this tournament there should definitely be "someone in the driver's seat."
"After our performance in the last tournament, I see good things for our last tournament," Flesher said. "We have a lot of opportunities, and players seem ready to play really good."
The Jayhawks prepared for their invitational by finishing 61 strokes off the pace at the Missouri Tiger Invitational. Kansas shot a 1,000, compared to a 393 by tournament champion Missouri.
"Bev shot a great second round in the rain in the last tournament, and was one of only a handful of players that won." "You know, Coe is due for a super tournament."
THE TOURNAMENT was played in extremely poor conditions. The first two days it rained and on the third day it was very cold, according to Fischer.
Freshman sensation Lisa Bradley once again led the Jayhawks with a three-round total of 242. She was signed by Boozer with 244, and Coe with 248.
"The weather and course conditions were really poor, so taking this into account, we didn't shoot that bad," Fischer said.
we're a young team, and except for one player, we'll have our whole team back next year."
