Runner will compete in NCAAs
The future is looking bright for the Kansas cross country teams.

Kansas concluded its season Saturday at the District V Regionals in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where junior Charlie Gruber qualified for the NCAA Championships individually and will compete Monday in Ames, Iowa.
For the rest of the cross country teams, Saturday's finale served as a starting point for next year. The Jayhawk men and women return every scoring runner next season and should move up in the Big 12 Conference ranks, said assistant coach Doug Clark.
"We had no seniors in our top seven this year and feel really good about that for next season," Clark said. "Both teams improved and we're right on the brink of respectability."
Freshman Paige Higgins, the top Jayhawk finisher at the District V Regionals, said the lack of senior leadership had hurt Kansas this year but would pay off in the long run.
"Having no seniors was hard this year, that makes next year excited." Higgins said. "That made us step up more this year, and the juniors really stepped into that role this year."
Higgins and fellow freshmen Lauren Brownrigg and Laura Lavoie established themselves as a strong class for the future. Lavoe led Kansas in every meet except for the District V Regionals. Sophomore Bridget Morissey and juniors Katy Eisenmenger and Eve Lamborn were other consistent runners for the Jayhawk women this year.
"Giving us another year to improve and train will only make us better."
"We need more consistency and that comes with experience," Clark said. "We never had five people run good on the same day. 80 percent of coaches around the country would probably also say that, but the other 20 percent are the teams that are at nationals."
Brent Behrens junior cross country runner
Although the Kansas women still will be relatively young next season, a veteran men's team will be primed for a run at the NCAA Championships. This year's junior class of Gruber, Brent Behrens, Pete Prince, Mark Menefee and Brent Blachy will give the Kansas men the strong senior leadership needed to succeed.
"Giving us another year to improve and train will only make us better," Behrens said. "There is really not any one thing for us to work on in the offseason other than just to keep training hard."
Clark said next year could be the Jayhawk men's chance to break onto the national scene.
"Next season could be great for the men," Clark said. "With their experience they should make a run at the NCAA Championships."
