Bv Derek Simmons Preseason poll ranks Kansas No.2 Forty-four media members participated in the 11th annual poll, which picked Oklahoma to finish first. The Kansas men's basketball team was predicted to finish second in a Big Eight Conference presseason poll released yesterday, and Kansas Mark Randall was selected as a presseason All-Big Eight selection. Kansan sportswriter Oklaahoma received 310 of 352 possible votes, with 20 first place votes. Points system awarded eight points for a first-place vote, seven points for a second-place vote, etc. Kansas got five first-place votes, and finished with 276 points. Missouri was ranked third and Oklahoma State was fourth with nine first-place votes each. Iowa State, the only team to receive votes in eight positions, was fifth with one first-place vote. Kansas State was sixth, Colorado was seventh, and Nebraska was last in the poll. None recieved first-place votes. Smith was named Preseason Player-of-the Year, and Oklahoma guard Brent Price was named Preseason Newcomer-of-the Year. Randall received three votes for player of the year, and Kansas center David Johanning got a vote for newcomer of the year. Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma are the only teams that have been selected preseason conference champions in the poll's eleven year history. Last year, all but two spots were picked correctly. Kansas, picked to finish fourth, finished third, trading places with Oklahoma State. Randall, a forward, was joined on the all-conference team by Colorado center Shaund Vandiver, Missouri forward Doug Smith, Oklahoma State center Byron Houston, and Iowa State center Victor Alexander. Cross country Continued from p. 11 ranking was a little disheartening to the team. Palacios said that the women's morale was up and that they had had some good practices the past few weeks. "Everyone looks good and fit," she said. "We're running some awesome times in practices and we feel good." "It was a disappointment, but now we are an underdog team," she said. "We have no pressure on us, we're such a young team, we can only improve. I think the time to look for the KU women is in the future." Palacios said she was hoping for a top-10 individual finish, and Schwartz said he thought Palacios had a good chance in his race is a five-kilometer course. The men's team also is optimistic about tomorrow's race. Schwartz said he thought senior Stewart Gillin, junior Donnie Anderson and perhaps a third runner could have given them all Big Eight honors. "Stu has been our top runner all year," Schwartz said. "Donnie has been second along with the freshmen." Michael Cox and David Johnston and Ladd who have been switching off. I think it's realistic for us to put two people in the top 10. I would like to see the rest in the teens or low 20s. Gillin said his personal goal was a top-10 finish. Gillin placed 34th at last year's Big Eight championships. The Jayhawks have not raced since the Iowa State Invitational on Oct. 13. The past two weeks have been spent in training in preparation for the end of the season. Kansan KJHK 6. Houston TOP 20. Oct. 26 2. Nebraska 1. Virginia 2. Nebraska 3. Auburn 5. Illinois 6. Houston 9.
