KANSAS SOCCER Caroline Smith named player of the week
Freshman forward Caroline Smith has been named Big 12 Conference Soccer Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks.
Smith earned Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors with Oklahoma's Logan Womack. Smith and Womack joined Oklahoma's Lauren Maclver, who was Newcomer of the Week and Oklahoma State's Kat Doud, who garnered Defensive Player of the Week.
Smith scored seven points over the weekend with three goals and an assist as Kansas beat Colorado, 5-1, and tied Nebraska, 1-1.
Smith now leads the Big 12 with 10 goals on the season, setting the Kansas freshman record for most goals in a season and tying the single season mark. Smith's four-game winning goals on the season also set a new single-season mark for the Jayhawks. She has now scored or had an assist in six straight contests.
Smith was named Big 12 Newcomer of the week back on Sept. 15, when she scored a pair of goals in wins over Arkansas and Tulsa, including the game winning goal in both matches.
This is the third consecutive week that a Kansas player has earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors. In between Smith's Big

AUTO RACING Sterling Marlin to miss season with injury
POLL
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sterling Marlin, who led the Winston Cup standings for 25 weeks, will miss the rest of the NASCAR season because of a broken vertebra in his neck.
Marlin was injured in a crash Sunday in Kansas, and the break in his vertebra was diagnosed yesterday in Charlotte, said team co-owner Felix Sabates.
Jamie McMurray, who was hired to drive a third car for Chip Ganassi Racing next season, will drive the No. 40 Dodge Intrepid for the rest of the season as well as complete the Busch series schedule for Brewco Motorsports, Sabates said.
Marlin took over the points lead after the second race of the season and held it until three weeks ago. He has slipped to fifth in the standings, 121 points behind new leader Jimmie Johnson.
Now he will miss the remaining seven races and will fall considerably further.
"Sterling obviously is very upset," Sabates said. "He felt like he had a legitimate chance at winning his first championship. Yes, the team had fallen off a little bit over the past few weeks,
no
but with the tightness of the points race, he had a good a shot as anyone."
