Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Everybody wants your time and attention. Do your best to please them, but not if it costs too much.
Leave some energy for yourself and make sure you eat right. Gather with friends you can trust tonight so you can talk freely. It'll help you relax.
Kansas welcomes three new recruits
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team signed three recruits to national letters of intent during early signing period.
SWIMMING
The Jayhawks added Miranda Isaac of Hutchinson, Libby Erickson of Overland Park and Alyson Colver of Holyoke, Colo., to swim for Kansas in the 2001-02 season.
"These three girls are great team players who have a lot of the qualities we are looking for in student-athletes," Kansas coach Cathy Burgess said. "All three are excellent students and have a lot of potential. Not only that, but one of our biggest strengths is our team chemistry and attitude and atmosphere that we bring to pool. These three will fit right in and immediately add to that."
At Hutchinson High School, Isaac took second place in the 100-yard breaststroke and fourth place in the 200 individual medley at last season's Kansas state high school championships.
"Miranda has a lot of speed in the breaststroke, an area that she will be able to step right in and contribute to this team next year." Burges said.
Erickson earned a third-place finish in last year's Kansas state championships.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Clover adds experience as well. She finished in the top five in the Colorado state high school championships in middle distance events for each of the last two seasons.
"Libby is an extremely versatile swimmer and is still realizing her potential in various events." Burgess said.
"Alyson has a lot of untapped potential," Burgess said. "She's a hard worker, is still learning new events and will immediately be one of our go-to girls in the middle distance events."
With her new recruits, Burgess said she was excited to kick off the recruit
"This is a great start for our recruiting class for 2001 as we build a stronger team for next season," she said.
ing season with such good luck.
The Kansas track and field team signed four high school seniors to the team for the 2001-02 season
TRACK AND FIELD
Jones, a senior from Iowa City High School, was the runner-up at the 2000 Iowa state cross country championships and is expected to have an immediate influence on the cross country team as well as distance running for the track team.
Chris Jones, a distance runner from Coralville, Iowa; Brooklyn Hann, a long/triple jumper from Sacramento, Calif.; Cheryl Bergman, a spinner from Baileyville; and Kim Clark, a sprinter from Elkhorn, Neb., have all signed national letters of intent to attend the University in the fall.
"Chris will add great depth to our cross country team next season," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. "He is a great student and person to be around, and we are lucky to get him at KU."
Hann has a personal best jump of 39 feet and is ranked fourth in the nation among seniors in the triple jump. She will compete for one of Kansas' top airlift spots for 2002.
"Brooklyn will make an immediate impact on our women's team," Redwine said. "She will be able to run sprints for the team as well."
Bergman, a true spinner, was the 2000 1A state champion in the 200 meters and finished second in the 400 meters and third in the 100 meters.
"Cheryl defines what a student-athlete should be to a program and to a school," Redwine said. "We are looking forward to her being a big part of this team."
Clark will be called upon to add depth to the long distance sprint team. She
clocked a time of 56:70 in the 400 meters during the 2000 season and will also compete in the 800 meters
"Kim will add depth to our team," Redwine said. "She is also a great student-athlete and could be a part of some of our relays in the future."
