Harriers win Jayhawk Invitational defend their rank in preseason poll
By Juli Watkins
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's cross country team won the Jayhawk Invitational Saturday, defending its number 11 ranking in last week's USA Today rankings.
Cross Country
The men's team was led by senior Stewart Gillin, who placed fourth overall in the 8-kilometer race.
The next four Kansas runners placed eightth through 11th. Freshman Michael Cox placed eighth; junior Donnie Anderson, ninth; freshman David Johnston, 10th, and sophomore Ladd McClain, 11th.
Coach Gary Schwartz said that consistency in depth was one of the major strengths of the men's team this season.
Schwartz also said that the team was young. Two of the top five runners are freshmen.
"You never know quite how freshmen are going to blend into a team." Schwartz said. "I'm really proud of all our young freshmen."
Schwartz said he was looking for much of the strength to come not only from the freshmen, but from some of the former Hays such as sophomore John Hays.
"I think the future looks bright," Schwartz said.
The team also feels the coming
years will be strong ones.
"I'm the only senior," Gillin said.
"So everyone will be back, and we'll probably be even better next year."
Schwartz said that in addition to the top five finishers, there were many others who were not far behind. If one of the top runners were to get injured, there should be enough time to him to be replaced. Schwartz said.
The Kansas men's cross country team was ranked 11th by USA Today on Wednesday in a preseason poll by NCAA coaches.
Schwartz said that he had warned the team to keep the ranking in perspective but that he was happy with the attention it brought to Kan-
"I thankful for the publicity," he said. "It's good for the program and it makes the team feel good. The real test will be nationals. That's the real
On the women's side, senior Cathy Palacios led Kansas to fifth place with her 10th place finish in the 5-kilometer race. Freshman Cindy Lewis finished second for Kansas and 21st overall, and first Patty Patterson for Kansas, both crossing the finish line Roachted across 22nd overall.
Schwartz said one of the strengths of the women's team was the inconsistency in who finished where on the team.
Florida universities realign conferences
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Southeastern Conference's search for a 12th member turns to Miami this week now that Florida's otherudent has spurned the league in favor of the Atlantic Coast Conference
Florida State coach Bobby Bowen, born and educated in the heart of SEC country, said yesterday he wanted Florida State to keep away from SEC membership despite his ties to the team. He proved that last week when the Seminoles became the ninth member of the ACC.
"We think we we've earned our own identity," said Bowden, a Birmingham, Ala. native who would like to coach 10 more years at Florida State.
"I in regard to recruiting, we're definitely better off not in the same conference with Florida," he said. "We're much less mobile than we simply have more flexibility."
University of Miami president Edward Foote said SEC officials would visit the university this week to discuss expansion. The move is significant because SEC commissioner Chip Kelly has other one柜麻, Florida State.
But Foote said it was premature to assume the SEC would extend a bid to the Hurricanes, an independent in both football and basketball.
"I think since FSU has made its decision, it will increase conversation. Foote said." "But we don't know yet how to say to us when they come down."
Miami athletic director Sam Jankovich also acknowledged that Florida State's decision likely would "escape the process," but said the Hurricanes' target date for deciding whether to join a conference remained the "latter part of September to the first of October."
Kramer, who has never acknowledged that the SEC is interested in Miami, refused comment. He is expected to speak with Foote today to
determine what day he and other conference officials will visit.
The SEC added Arkansas as an 11th team earlier this summer and is actively seeking a 12th so it can break into two six-season divisions.
South Carolina is the league's other prime candidate. South Carolina's board of trustees already has voted unanimously to accept an SEC bid if it is offered. But the SEC has yet to set up a visit to the campus.
Miami also is actively pursuing an alignment with the Big East, which is looking to keep Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Boston College in the fold by adding other major-college football programs. Miami will have a conference call with Big East officials this week, Jankovich said.
Meanwhile, Bowden says he wants to keep a high-profile nonconference schedule, playing Florida and Miami each year and rotating their other nonconference game between Auburn and Notre Dame. The Seminoles will be committed to a league round-robin in the ACC and that would leave them with three nonconference games each year. The Seminoles are expected to be competing fulltime in the ACC no later than 1995.
The 60-year-old Bowden, three victories away from career No. 200, disputed claims that the Semiflores played for a softer football schedule.
"We play three SEC schools right now and we'd play the others if they would play us." he said. "LSU, they are the only ones who will play us."
Florida State has won seven straight games against SEC competition since suffering its last loss to Florida in 1986, including three straight over Auburn in seasons the Tigers won the SEC.
"I'm interested in a national championship." Bowden said. "Winning a conference championship doesn't feed my ego."
Softball team takes second place at Iowa State tournament

ment, everybody on the team got a base hit."
Kansas softball coach Kalum Haack came out of the team's first tournament satisfied.
"Overall, I was pleased," Haack said. "I was really pleased with our hitting. In the course of the tourna-
The team returned from the tournament at Iowa State with a 4-1 record and a second-place finish.
"It was good to get that first game under our belts," Haack said. "So many things happened in that first season, and I came from it. It was good to get it done."
"We can improve in all areas of the game. We need to cut down on our walks, from the pitching standpoint,
and we made some throwing errors that allowed runs to score indirecly."
Kansas defeated Northern Iowa 7-4,
Western Illinois 3-1, Drake 7-0 and
Iowa State 11-0.
"Shelly Sack hit really well," Haack said. "Ty Sacksby, Jessica
Hennig, Christy Arterburn must have hit close to .500 for the tournament."
Sack hit the Jayhawks' only home run of the tournament and also pitched for the first time in more than a year.
"Coach Haack wanted to give our
pitchers a rest, so I pitched a couple of innings in the third game," she said.
The Jayhawks will play at home for the first time Saturday.
"It will be nice to play at home." Sack said. "I wouldn't be surprised to go undefeated this weekend."
