There's no doubt about it; it'll be a tough act to follow. Four Big Eight championships in 1974 highlighted a year of all-around excellence that was one of the most exciting and memorable campaigns in the history of intercollegiate athletics at Kansas.
In retrospect 1974-75 was indeed a banner season for Kansas and Jayhawk fans. The Jayhawks' powerful track team forged an impressive conference indoor championship en route to a second place NCAA finish and added a ninth straight league outdoor crown during one of the most successful seasons in school history. KU's potent basketball team garnered the pre-season Big Eight Tournament championship and then followed it up with a second straight conference title while advancing to NCAA post-season play for the second consecutive year. Add to that an eight straight league swimming title and Kansas accomplished a feat unmatched by any other conference school—four Big Eight championships.
And there's another dimension to Jayhawk athletics—women's athletics. Kansas has asserted itself into a role of leadership among the nation's universities in developing a solid overall intercollegiate program for women. Nine sports comprise a two-year old program for women providing students maximum participation and enjoyment in intercollegiate athletics.
But what about this year? Will there be more of the same in '75. If the makeup of last year's teams is any indication then there is good reason to think that KU's success may be even greater. In football 39 lettermen and 12 starters return to form the nucleus for Bud Moore's first gridiron edition. Graduation losses were heavy for the KU cage squad but a talented contingent returns to give Jayhawk fans reason for plenty of optimism in '75.
Plan now to take part in the fun and excitement. Support all KU athletic teams in their efforts to improve on last year's outstanding success. Another exciting year appears to be in the making for the Jayhawks.
All teams experienced excellent recruiting years, particularly football, basketball, track, swimming and baseball.
