THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QA
Running standout to return
Gruber to compete in first meet since his foot injury
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
Charlie Gruber said he didn't know what to expect this weekend at the Chill Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville, Ark.
The senior, who qualified individually for the NCAA Championships last season, will race tomorrow for the first time since developing a stress fracture in his foot this summer. He said he had been doing some form of training since August, but he was still not up to normal workout schedule.
"Every workout, I'm closing the gap on the top guys." Gruber said. "Right now the learning curve is very sharp in terms of getting back in shape. But the other guys are just continuing to get better as well."
Gruber and assistant coach Doug Clark said it was OK if Gruber wasn't at top speed this weekend.
Clark reiterated that point to
Gruber and teammate Mark Menefee as they sat and stretched after practice Wednesday afternoon. Menefee will also return to action this weekend.
"You have to be at 100 percent on Nov. 10 — that's the day," Clark said, referring to the Jayahwks' trip to Carbondale, Ill., for the Midwest Regional Championships.
Senior Brian Blachly, who rooms with Gruber and Meneefe, said it had been tough not having his teammates competing with him this season.
"You come back home from a race and they weren't at the meet to talk about how it went," Blachly said. "You can tell it bothers them."
Gruber said that if the injury had happened earlier in his career, it might have had more of a negative effect. Even though his weekly mileage run is down to the mid-50s rather than the usual low-70s, Gruber said his experience helped lessen the negative effects.
Still, he said he had been eager to attack his training at full strength. In a sport where the athletes are aware of how important each day of training is, Gruer said it had been difficult to be conservative.
"Every workout I'm closing the gap on the top guys."

"I've been writing in my training log (that) one of my goals each week is to stay patient," Gruber said.
Clark said the athletes had bought into the training system he had brought to Kansas, helping Gruber and Meneefe stay calm and focused as the season moves into its championship phase.
"If I'm telling them that they're going to be okay by the middle of November, they believe it," Clark said. "I'm not saying they're not a little nervous about it, but it's nothing out of control."

Competition offers chance for berth to NCAA Championship
Runners on the Kansas cross country team want to make a statement at the Chili Pepper Cross Country Festival tomorrow in Favetteville, Ark.
Cross Country looks to qualify
By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter
The first criterion for qualifying as an at-large team is victories against top teams from other regions.
The men are ranked ninth and the women tenth in the Midwest region this week and want to use this meet to qualify for an at-large berth for the NCAA Championships. The Chili Pepper is a perfect meet for the team to attempt this because of the number of top teams participating from around the country.
Senior Charlie Gruber, who will run his first race this season at Arkansas, said the Jayhawks wanted to use this meet as a springboard to success at the Big 12 Conference and Midwest regional meets later this fall.
hope of going to nationals, and this yearit's an expectation," Gruber said. "Our whole team is excited and working toward a common goal."
"Before, we used to have a
Senior Mark Menegee will also make his first appearance of the season. He hasn't raced since an indoor track meet last December because of various injuries. Menegee said he had a lot of work ahead to be at his best for the regional meet and help get the Jayhawks to the national championship meet but said he thought he could contribute right away.
"We're really excited to see what this team can do this weekend." Menefee said. "I'm definitely in good enough shape to help the team out this week."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said both teams ran well at Arkansas last season. He said the men ran faster through the first eight kilometers of the 10-kilometer race at Arkansas than they did in any eight-kilometer race all year. The women were faster through five kilometers in the six-kilometer race than any five-kilometer performance all year.
Clark said having everyone healthy for the first time this season would boost the team physi

He said he expected freshmen Diane Disher and Megan Manthe to continue to run well.
continue to be a big adjustment for them," Clark said. "They're so competitive that I have to really watch that they don't overdo it. In fact, I made them take two mandatory rest days this week."
Senior Courtney Deutsch said she wanted to finish as one of the top-four Jayhawks and set a personal best. If the team ran aggressively and together and pushed one another early in the race, she said that wouldn't be a problem.
Deutsch said the team wasn't concerned about the lack of racing opportunities early in the season or that this race was longer than their previous two races.
