Coach anticipates wealth of freshmen, veteran talent on women's track squad
By BILL BUZBEE
Snorts Writer
KU's women's track program will be holding its strongest team ever, head coach Mike McGowan.
"We had a great team last year," Anderson said. "We finished second at the indoor nationalists, but this year's team is the best we have ever had."
Among KU's returning lettermen will be Sheila Coleman, formerly Sheila Calmeze, who finished third in the nation in the 100 and 200 meter sprints with times of 11.3 and
"Most of our strong performers from last year are returning, and we picked up some new ones."
Joining Coleman will be two of her partners on KU's sprint and 440 relay teams, the latter being the women's team.
Kuhman's personal bests are 54.7 in the 440 and 194/4 in the long lump.
"The four member of the team,
Charmane Kuhman, who is an outstanding quarter-miler and long jumper, will be with us only for the indoor season", Anderson
"Our distance runner, Michelle Brown,
will be back," she said, "along with our high
jumper, Shawn Corwin, who holds the
school record of 5-9."
Also returning will be harder Lori long jump time Jim Somes and Dengge Liim.
"I am really excited about our recruits," she added. "Lori Green, the Kansas high school and Junior Olympics sprinting teammate, is coming out and put discuss thrower, Kristi Tumberger."
Green's personal best in the 110 yard hurdles stands at 14.3, and Tumberger's beats are 48-8 in the shot put and 142-0 in the disc throw.
Also joining the squad will be Linda Newell, who won last year's junior college shot put title with a throw of 46,10 and Tammy Rose, who finished second in the javelin at the junior college nationals with a throw of 144 feet.
"We were very successful with our team," said Anderson said. "The team has a lot of potential."
Last season, KU finished third in the Big Eight outdoor championships, second in the indoor meet, finished second in the indoor nationals and 14th in the outdoor nationals.
The women will open their indoor schedule with a horse meet Dec. 8 in Allen
"Iowa State won both the indoor and outdoor Big Eight meets." Anderson said.
"I expect them to be our biggest competition against this year. Nebraska should not lose."
After the opening meet, KU will host three more meets, Jan. 20, Jan. 27 and Feb. 2. The women will then travel to Oklahoma City on Feb. 10 for the Oklahoma Track Classic.
The Big Eight Indoor Championships will be held Feb. 16-17 at Nebraska. From the women will compete in the National Women's Championships Feb. 23-24 at Madison Square Gardens.
The Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women nationalists will be host by the NCAA.
