Members of the Kansas cross country team begin their daily run in training for their first meet Sept. 8.
Cross country looks toward new season
By Juli Watkins
Kansan sportswriter
When practice for the men's and women's cross country teams started Monday afternoon, athletes expected to see new faces. In addition to new team members, athletes also found another new face — one familiar to the program, but in a new position — assistant coach. Steve Guymon.
Guymon has been involved with the Kansas track program for the past three years. He served as a graduate assistant in 1987 and as a manager for the track team during his time at manage to manage the Relays as well as all home meets.
Guymon replaced Mike McGuire, who had been assistant coach for two years. McGuire left Kansas for the University of Michigan where he is serving as the recruiting coordinator and middle distance coach.
Guyon taught high school for two years at Harding Academy in Memphis, Tenn., and was the varsity track coach and assistant football coach prior to joining the Kansas program.
"I'm real excited about the skills that Steve brings to the program. He has proven himself administratively in the past couple years as the Relays manager and events manager," head coach Gary Schwartz said. "I've also been impressed with his ability to work with the athletes and am very pleased about his appointment."
This year's team will open its season Saturday, Sept. 8. Kansas will host a dual meet against Southern Illinois on Tuesday.
former track and cross country coach Bob Timmons' property in southern Lawrence. The men will run an eight-kilometer course, and the women will run a five-kilometer course.
Schwartz said he expected both teams to surpass last year's performances.
The women finished sixth at the Big Eight Conference meet last year, a place Schwartz said is higher than the women have been used to, and he hopes to improve even more this season.
The men finished 10th in the NCAAs last year, and Schwartz said a top four finish in the Big Eight and one in the World Cup.
Returning for the Jayhawks are senior Donnie Anderson, junions Sam Froese and Stewart Gillen, and sophomore Ladd McClain. Schwartz said to look out for the man of Hannibal, Mo., and David Johnston of Lawrence.
"Cox is one of the top kids in the country." Schwartz said. "Cox and Johnston did not get as much national recognition because neither one of them competed much in national races in high school."
Returning for the women's team are seniors Tonya Gundy and Kelly Coffey, and sophomores Daniela Daggy, Cindy Lewis and Heather Ryun. Newcomers to watch out for include freshmen Ashley Ace of Emporia, Jasmin Burton, as well as Catty Palacias, a transfer student from Southeast Missouri State University, Schwartz said.
