SWIMMING AND DIVING
SWIMMING AND DIVI Missouri too much for swimmers, divers
Despite some strong individual performances, the Kansas swimming and diving teams lost their dual with Missouri Friday.
SPORTS
After a final score of 170-126, the team's head-to-head record moved to 1. 1 this season, with Kansas leading the overall series 24-3.
"We had some outstanding events tonight despite swimming from behind most of the meet," coach Clark Campbell said. "Our team kept swimming hard throughout the entire dual."
The 1000 freestyle race was the best for the KU swimmers. Sophomore Andrea Becker won the race with a time of 10.24.65 and senior Beth Schryer finished second with a time of 10:29.77.
Kansas' next dual will take place in Lawrence Nov.9 in Robinson Natatorium against Wyoming and Southwest Missouri State.
"Andrea Becker definitely won swimmer of the meet," Campbell said. "She was outstanding in the 1000 free and took seconds off of her time in the 500 free."
On the diving side, Kansas senior Patti Stringham scored 240.3 in the one-meter competition and senior Kristi Misejka won third in the three-meter competition.

SOCCER
Team loses to Missouri
A loss to Missouri before the Big 12 Conference tournament was exactly what coach Mark Francis did not want.
in last regular season game
Kansas (11-6-2 overall, 4-5-1 Big 12 Conference) traveled to Columbia, Mo., Friday for its final regular season game of the year and came away with a 2-0 loss to Missouri (11-6-2, 5-4-1). With the loss, Kansas will receive the number six seed for this week's conference tournament.
Kansas' offense never got going, as they managed only two shots the entire match. Missouri took the lead 21:34 into the game on a goal by Jennifer Nobis. The Tigers tacked on another goal in the second half by Adriene Davis at the 61:14 mark of the game.
Despite letting in multiple goals for the third consecutive game, sophomore Meghan Miller recorded six saves in goal.
Kansas will play the Nebraska Cornhuskers Thursday at 7:30 in the opening round of the tournament in San Antonio, Texas. Kansas tied Nebraska earlier this season, 1-1, at home. If Kansas can win that game, they will face the winner of the Texas-Iowa State game, Friday at 7:30. Kansas lost to Texas 4-1, and defeated Iowa State 2-1, earlier in the season.
Coach Mark Francis would not comment on the game.

"We hope that Chris Marshall can continue to play so well and help himself in the national rankings," coach Ross Randall said. "Tyler Hall had a nice tournament last time out and hopefully he'll play well. We're taking two players this week who didn't play last week. We're hopeful that they'll to a good job too."
"I think what it does is it puts a premium on practice and your tournament play, because they're two totally different games," Marshall said. "I think that it's really put a different mind set to the younger guys, because they have to play well at home to go, but they have to play well at the tournament to play again."
Marshall said juggling the lineup could help some of the younger players learn about the challenges of competing at the Division I level.
After play in La Quinta, the team will have a three-month hiatus from competitive action. Despite finding it hard in the
winter months to get out on a course or a driving range and hit balls, the team will find ways to improve for a demanding spring schedule.
"Personally, I'm just going to focus on my strength and conditioning. Ball hitting is going to be tough because it gets pretty cold out here," Hall said. "The most important thing is getting our bodies ready for the spring season. Tiger Woods has rewritten all of the golf books, and everyone wants to get in the gym now."

The twinge in my leg just wouldn't die, and my right knee was starting to ache trying to compensate for my hamstring.
back of my leg just wouldn't quit
aching. I wanted to walk, I wanted to
stop, but instead I just slowed down.
Why did I subject my body to this?
Why couldn't I have just gone for a nice,
long run by myself this morning and
saved myself the $50 entry fee?
I finally let Sarah just go ahead of me at the 21 mile marker after she realized
she could finish the race in 4 hours. I had originally planned to finish in 4 hours, 30 minutes and we were currently at a 4:10 pace.
Being that close to such a great time, I didn't feel right weighing her down anymore.
Alone, I was determined to finish, running — not walking — the rest of the way. There was no way to turn back — the shortest route to the car to leave was through the race course. I charged up the last hill, back into downtown.
I finished in 4:11:52. I went through the chute, received my finisher's medal and was wrapped in an aluminum-foil cape designed to keep my body heat in.
I did it. I'd become a second-generation marathoner, as my dad is a finisher of 24 marathons. And I'd done it 20 minutes faster than I had imagined I could finish in. Through the sleet, steep hills and aches, I am now a marathoner, and proud of it.
Running a marathon is an experience I'd recommend to anybody. It isn't a pleasant experience, to say the least, but it's one that builds character, esteem and it's something that you can be proud of — I sure am.

Washburn to rename stadium
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On and off the field, the Washburn Ichabods felt like a million dollars.
On the field Saturday at the Moore Bowl, the Ichabods' home stadium in Topeka, Dustin Hickel threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as underdog Washburn handed Emporia State an unexpected and costly 34-21 defeat.
The Hornets, who are now 5-2 in the MIAA, entered the game ranked fifth in the Division II Midwest Region Rankings. The top four teams qualify for the playoffs.
Also on Saturday, Washburn announced that the Moore Bowl is to be renamed Yager Stadium. An anonymous donor contributed $1 million to the renovation project, and chose former Ichabods running back Gary Yager as the stadium's namesake.
Yager, of Kansas City, Mo., is vice chairman and director of Western National Bank and Unison Bancorp Inc. He played at Washburn from 1972 to 1975, rushing for 1,297 yards and 12 touchdowns.
At Salina, Oscar Nero rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns as Kansas Wesleyan shut out Bethel and maintained the top spot in the KCAC.
Other games involving Kansas schools included Missouri Valley 35, Baker 32; Pittsburg State 49, Truman State 35; Bethany 41, Sterling 14; Kansas Wesleyan 42, Bethel 0, and MidAmerica Nazarene 21, Benedictine 17.
Kansas Wesleyan, 6-1 in the conference, got its first score 46 seconds into
one game with a 50-yard pass from Ryan Canfield to Steve Willis. The Coyotes led 28-0 at the half.
Canfield finished with three completions for 103 yards.
The Threshers rushed for 34 yards and passed for 57, with three interceptions. Jonathan Horton carried 11 times for 19 yards.
John Booth threw a 13-yard pass to James Booth with 8:26 remaining as MidAmerica Nazarene beat Benedietine to retain first place in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.
The Ravens scored on a 35-yard halfback pass from Josh McAlister to Craig Johnson to tie it at 14 before Javier Rodas kicked a 29-yard field goal for a 17-14 Benedictine lead with 11:32 to play. But the Booths connected 3:06 later for the game-winning score.

Someone asked me today why I hate Mizzou. My reply was only two words: Mizzou sucks.

We weren't booing Drew at Late Night, we were yelling "Dreeeeeeeew." Stupid freshman. You idiot, you have no right to call the Free for All.

Hey. I'm in Minnesota right now, riding in the car, drinking a case of Coors Light. And we were just discussing how much Mizzou sucks. So for any doubters out there: Mizzou, it definitely sucks.
This is to the person who thought that all the people at Late Night were booing Drew Gooden. You're an idiot, they weren't saying "boo," they were saying "Drew." Besides, who can blame him for leaving, anyway? He's getting millions of dollars to play basketball, and he doesn't have to walk up a damn hill every day like we do.

Yes, to the person in the sports Free for All that was yelling at the people who were booing when Drew Gooden's picture was showing. They weren't booing, they were saying "Dreeeew," as in Drew Gooden. It's a cheer. You're obviously a freshman. Go away.

Hey genius, the fans at Late Night weren't booing Drew Gooden, we were chanting "Drew." And Mizzou sucks.
Yeah, hi, so I would just like to say that I just finished running for the Big 12 cross country championships, and Mizzou really sucks.
So I'm at the football game, and I swear to god, I think I just saw Terry Allen call another draw play. Bye.
