Located next to Dr. Kevin Lenahan & Associates Canceled cross country meet soothes some, upsets others By Matt Norton Kansan sportswriter Because of the Big 12 Conference's decision to not compete this weekend, the Kansas cross country teams will not run today at Ames, Iowa, in the ISU Cross Country Classic. Senior Pete Prince said the team would benefit by not having to travel and compete this weekend. "We're getting ready for bigger meets later in the season." Prince said. Fellow senior Brian Blachly said he was looking forward to this weekend's meet because it would have been a chance to improve. He said he wasn't completely satisfied with his performance at last weekend's Bob Timmons Invitational. Now he'll have to wait until Sept. 29 to compete again. "I think three weeks off is a lot, especially when you're just getting the season started," Blachly said. "I was looking forward to getting back on the horse right away." Assistant coach Doug Clark said the team would have a chance to get a run in tomorrow. Both teams will run time trials today at Rim Rock Farm. The men will run 7 kilometers and the women 5.9 kilometers, courses they've run in practice and should give them an indication of their fitness. "I'm going to tell them it's a race and to run it like one," Clark said. "It's not as good as a race, but it's not an impediment to the season." "For a lot of us, athletics is our livelihood. And to take away an athletic event like we had planned this weekend, you feel like you're not getting on with your life." Brian Blachly senior runner Clark said missing the meet wouldn't compromise the team's goals of performing well in the Big 12 and District V meets. "They're telling us to remember those who were lost but to also get on with your life." Blachly said. "For a lot of us, athletics is our livelihood. And to take away an athletic event like we had planned this weekend, you feel like you're not getting on with your life." "It's a tough call, that's why there was so much anguishing about it," Clark said. Contact Norton at 864-4810 Blachy said he understood the decision but wasn't sure what the best course of action was.
