Cross country ready for Invitational
By David Dorsey
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams will hold the Jayhawk Invitational tomorrow. The meet will be the Jayhawk's first competition of the season.
The men's team will have to contend with Arkansas, defending national champion and preseason No.1 pick. Northeast Missouri, Pittsburgh State, Park College, Haskell Indian Junior College and No.20 Air Force also will run against the Jayhawks, who are ranked No.13 heading into the season.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said he did not expect his men to overtake the Razorbacks.
"I'm happy that a team of their caliber is competing against us this early," Schwartz said. "I don't mind running against teams that are deeper than us. The point is to get our team prepared for later on during the season. This is a chance for the coach to evaluate where the runners are at this point."
runners out of action this weekend because of injury or illness. Senior Alec Bolten is resting his knee but should be ready to compete early next month. Senior Jason Teal is recovering from an illness, and senior Ladd McClain is nursing an Achilles injury. McClain's brother and teammate, Jeremy, remains in the intensive care unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center after being hit by a car last week. The accident has taken an emotional toll on Ladd McClain, Schwartz said, but should not affect the team's performance tomorrow.
The men's team has several of its top
Michael Cox, a junior who finished 83 nationally, is Kansas' top retiring runner for tomorrow's meet. Junior Michael Cox, a junior who finished 83 nationally, also should contribute.
"Well, Dave Johnston and I will be up there, so we're not going into it totally worthless," Cox said. "Us going in to try to beat them is a little unrealistic, but we can race them if the guys just go out and do what they can do. Personally, I'm going to run like it's any other race."
is pleased with how the women have been running.
The women's team also faces a
"The women's program has got people's attention too," he said. "We're happy with their progress. We just hope the group develops like it did last year."
Julia Saul, an All-American candidate for 1992, should lead the women's team. The women's team, like the men's squad, finished second in last year's Jayhawk Invitational.
"So far, it's still really early in the season," Saul said. "We're just going to have to get through the first meet and see where we are. We're doing some new things this year in training which should really show later on in the season.
"We'll give it our best effort, but the outcome is not a really good prediction on the rest of the season."
The women's team has been running, lifting weights and circuit training to prepare for competition.
The women's team race is at 10 a.m. and the men's is at 10:45 a.m. Both are Saturday at Rim Rock Farm, which is 10 miles north of Lawrence.
