The Kansas swim team came home from the Big Eight invitational in Ames, Iowa. Saturday without the first place trophy. In fact, no one went home with the first place trophy because there wasn't one
Nebraska's women's team also did well, winning nine events.
Swimming
For the second week in a row, the women's team was impressive Last week, the KU women finished first, outscoring Colorado State by 136 points at the Lady Ram Early Bird Swimming and Diving Championships in Fort Collins, Colo.
The women's team took first place 11 times Saturday, but in the other events it lost close races. Kempf said.
Kansas head swim coach Gary Kempi say yesterday that the Big
Right Conference coaches voted not to keep score at the meet, therefore a winning team could not be chosen. Kempt said that he didn't know why keeping score, but that he was pleased with the swim's performance.
Kempf said that KU's and Nebraska's women's teams were in a deadlock as far as team strength was concerned.
I was pleased with what I saw this weekend. Nexpt said, "We're making progress and they showed that we could face with anyone in the conference."
First-place finishers for KU were, freshmen Susan Bloomfield, 100- and 200-meter backstroke, and Heather Hardy, 200-meter breaststroke; sophomores Sue Spry, 50-meter freestyle, and Erin Easton, 40-meter medley; and senior Marcie Herrold, 40-meter individual medley.
The women also won all five of the relay events.
Kempt said he was also pleased with the men's performance Saturday, but said he would like to improve the team's depth.
"In this conference, depth is very important," he said. "Right now on paper, Nebraska's bottom five swimmers are better than ours."
Top individual performers for the Jayhawks were sophomore Glenn Trammel, who won the 100-meter backstroke, and freshman Scott Berry, who won the 1650-meter freestyle. Sophomore Bobby Kelly won the 400-meter individual medley.
Kansas also took second and third places in the 1600-meter freestyle race.
Even though the men might lack depth when compared to Nebraska, Kempf said, when compared to previous KU teams, this one is as good as he has seen in a long time.
Nebraska's men are the defending Big Eight champions.
The KU men didn't win any of the relay events. Kempf said, but they were strong in the last 25 meters of each event, which is where the races were won.

With the normal rowing stroke, the oar goes into the water at a perpendicular angle then flattens out as the rower brings the oar forward again.
"Once you catch a scrat it scores you." Long said. "It's probably the scariest aspect of rowing. That's a lot of force. Once you learn, they're easy to control. Once you learn how to row you tend to take it for granted."
"We've shown that it is possible to have a national-caliber rowing program at KU." Elliott said. "Funding, I think, is the limiting factor. Hopefully, the University and student body can appreciate it, see what's involved. The appeal of the sport itself is there. The students have decided that they want to have a competitive program."
But there are two other strokes most common to novices that play havoc with a boat's rhythm. "Washing out" is a stroke that doesn't go very deep and just skims the top of the water "Catching a crab" happens when the ear sinks too deep into the water. At that point, one rower is fighting the force generated by all the other rowers. That force against the oar is enough to either yank a rower out of his seat and throw him into the water or jerk the oar out of his hands, smacking him in the face.
The rowers are optimistic about the coming season, and they hope to soon get the funds needed for a top-ranked program. Until then, they wait and practice.
After rowers get the technique down, they work on timing. The "run" of the boat is how far the boat moves after one stroke. Long said a crew could row 38 strokes per minute with little run and be beaten by a team rowing 34 strokes per minute with more run.
