Women float, men sink in meet
By Karen Donnelly Special to the Kansas
The Kansas women's swimming and diving squad crushed Southwest Missouri State on Friday night, but the men's squad was defeated in home waters at Robinson Natatorium.
A first-time meet between Kansas women and Southwest Missouri State ended in a 141-102 victory for the Javahawks.
"The team was excited to face a new team and we did very well," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burges.
Jayhawk women posted their best scores ever Friday night. Sophomore Beth Schryer, junior Carrie Kirkham and sophomore Heldi Landhern each posted two individual wins.
"We had some season-best times and were able to have our swimmers gain experience in different events that they had been working on," Burgess said.
Schryer seized Kansas' first event of

the competition, winning the 1000 freestyle in 10:29.30. She placed first in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:07.02.
Kirkham placed first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 52.91 and the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:55.46. She also helped the Jayhawks win the 400 medley relay.
Landherd took home both the 200 individual medley and the 200 backstroke for the Jayhawks. She won the 200 IM in 2:11.45 and opened a strong lead in the 200 backstroke, putting her in first place with a time of 209.63.
"Going into the meet we were really uncertain because we had never competed against SMSU, but we pulled everything together really well," senior Carolyn Grevers said.
She placed second in both of her individual events — the 500 freestyle and the 200 IM. She also had a hand in the victorious 400 free relay, which delivered an overall time of 3:36.31.
Other individual event winners included Klm Waite in the 50 freestyle, Rebecca McFall on the one-meter springboard, Ross in the 500 freestyle, Misejka on the three-meter dive and Kristen Johnson in the 200 breaststroke. The Jayhawk women also won the 400 freestyle relay and the 400 medley relay.
The Kansas men's swimming and diving team ended its meet by falling to SMSU. 140-92.
The Jayhawk women will travel next to Minneapolis to compete in the Minnesota Invitational from Friday, Nov. 17 to Sunday, Nov. 19.
"No one likes losing a dual meet, but I saw positive signs that we are progressing and will swim really well at the end of the year," Kansas men's coach Doug Dickinson said.
Sophomore Brian Soria performed well again for the Jayhawks. He
swept the 500 and 1000 freestyle races, giving him five out of six wins in the two events for the season.
Soria trailed early in the 1000, but his steady stroke allowed him to take the lead and finish in 9:27.66. He, along with fellow Jayhawk senior Jon Reyes, engaged in a three-way battle in the 500 freestyle with only 1.01 seconds between each swimmer. Soria finished first in the 500 in 4:38.36 with Reyes close behind in third place.
Carr took first place in the 100 freestyle in 47.09 seconds.
Senior Chad Sunderland and senior Jason Carr also captured victories for Kansas. Sunderland won the 200 breaststroke in 2:08.19, only one tenth of a second in front of the Bears' David Nielsen.
The Kansas men's swimming and diving team will prepare to take a trip to Dickinson's alma mater, the University of Texas, to compete in the Texas Invitational from Friday. Dec. 1 to Sunday, Dec. 3.

Kansas improves during fall season
One Jayhawk meets NCAA qualifications
It was a bittersweet ending for most of the Kansas cross country team at the District V Regionals on Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
With the exception of junior Charlie Gruber, Kansas closed out a season that saw many young runners gain valuable experience.
Both Kansas teams failed to place in the top two, while Gruber placed fourth in the men's race and was the

lone Jayhawk individual to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the Kansas men and women accomplished their goal of improving.
The Kansas men improved on their 11th place showing at districts last year with an 8th place finish Saturday.
"It shows that our men are better than last year," Redwine said. "We didn't qualify anyone for the NCAA's last year, and this year we qualified one."
Gruber and fellow juniors Brent Behrens and Mark Menefee were the top three placing Kansas men.
Oklahoma and Missouri earned places in the NCAA Championships by finishing first and second.
Freshman Paige Higgins led the way for the Kansas women with a
69th place finish. Higgins, sophomore Bridget Morrisey and freshman Laura Lavoie were the top three finishers, leading Kansas to 13th place.
Redwine said Higgins came ready to run.
"She had a great conference race and was prepared for Saturday." Redwine said. "The majority of our women's team is very young, and we still placed better than last year."
Both teams will practice for the indoor season while Gruber prepares for the NCAA Championships on Monday, Nov. 20 in Ames, Iowa.

Heavyweight beats Tua, ready to take on Tyson
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Lennox Lewis still doesn't want to pick on someone his own size.
He wants to pick on Mike Tyson.
The 6-foot-5 WBC-IBF heavyweight champion made $8.5 million for dominating David Tua, who at 5-10 is about Tyson's height. Lewis can make a lot more for fighting Tuson.
Lewis thinks a Tyson match can be made, despite his being under contract to HBO and Tyson being aligned with Showtime.
Lewis: wants to fight Mike Tyson on Showtime
It would be a highly anticipated fight, but so was Saturday night's bout in the Mandalay Bay Events Center, which Lewis won on a one-sided decision. It was a boxing clinic. The fans had wanted a brawl.
Lewis, jabbing and moving, shooting occasional right leads and crisp combinations did what he had to do
In his two previous fights, Lewis scored second-round knockouts against 6-7 Michael Grant and Francois Botha, also 6-feet-plus.
— keep the challenger at a distance and off balance.
The champion has admitted that in the past he's had problems with shorter opponents. So against Tua, he came up with a game plan that reduced his risks and drove the challenger to the point of frustration. Tua never got inside long enough for Lewis to even attempt his effective right uppercut.
"I felt the amount of punches I threw was sufficient," said Lewis, who was always aware of Tua's vaunted left hook and refused to take risks.
"He was winning the fight sufficiently with his left jab," said Emanuel Steward, Lewis' trainer.
A CompuBox punch analysis credited Lewis with landing 213 jabs, while Tua's total of jabs and power punches landed was only 110. EFicient is that Lewis uses
Lewis' only loss came when he was knocked down and stopped in the second round by Oliver McCall after he had thrown a long, lazy right hand in 1994. Lewis said he learned a lesson in that fight, and that lesson seems to be in the back of his mind every time he enters the ring.
"I kept my right hand up," said Lewis, who made Tua, who counts on the hook, into a one-armed fighter.
Tyson is anything but a one-armed fighter. He can take out an opponent with either hand. But Tyson probably doesn't take as good a punch as Tua, who has never been down as a pro, and Tua was hit with numerous stiff labs and several solid rights.
"Lennox Lewis is a great champion."
Tua said.
