Athletes compete in Jayhawk triathlon
By DARRIN STINEMAN Staff writer
For most people, a 600-meter swim would be difficult, a 10-mile bike ride would be tiring, and a three-mile run would be grueling. But to do those things consecutively, for most people, would border on the insane.
Triathletes, however, are not like most people.
Fifty-four such athletes competed in the Jayhawk Triathlon yesterday. The event started with a 600-meter swim in Robinson Gymnastium's west pool, followed by a 10-mile bicycle ride that wound its way out to Wakarua Drive and then back to Allen Field House. A 2.8 mile run, the final leg of the triathlon, followed the same route as the bike ride, except the runners turned around at 21st Street and followed the same path back to the field house.
The swimming leg of the triathlon was done in three heats, the first of which began swimming at 8 a.m. Lanes one and eight each had three swimmers separated by 10 second intervals, and lanes two through seven had two swimmers. After the swim, the participants put on shoes, got on their bikes at the Robinson tennis courts, and embarked on the second leg. Locker rooms were available for the athletes to change clothes after the swim, but several saved time by going directly from the water to their bikes.
The coordinator of the Jayhawk Triathlon, Rick Cameron, said well over half of the entrants were first-time triathon participants.
One rookie triathlete, Brian Turley, Overland Park senior, said he
was curious about the event and entered on one week's training.
I'd never entered one before and I thought I'd try my luck," he said. "It was quite a challenge."
Andrés Cavielier, Bogota, Colombia sophomore, said triathlons were very popular in his country and have been in other Latin American countries.
"Triathlons became popular in Colombia because of cycling," he said. "It (cycling) got popular and people started to run triathlons."

Cavieler said Colombia had 20 to 30 triathlons each year, and they were longer than the ones in the United States. He said the typical triathlon circuit肌肉 consisted of a one-mile swim, 40 runs of biking and a 10-mile run.
The coordinators of the Jayhawk Triathlon tried to stay away from longer distances in order to attract people to the event.
The triathlon had three divisions for both men and women. The winner of the men's open division was Mike Bannister of Leawood with a time of 56 minutes and 40 seconds. The women's open winner was Ann Weber of Warren with a time of 59 seconds. The men's winner was Dan Breedlove, Naperville, Ill., sophomore, and the women's student winner was Christine McMinn-Jackson, Albuquerque N.M., senior.
The winners in the faculty/staff division were Stanley Lombardo, associate professor and chairman of classes, and Brenda Jo Brueggemann, graduate teaching assistant. Lombardo and Brueggemann were the only KU faculty or staff members to enter the trialathon.

TOPEKA — the colors looked right on the players, but the mixing of eras gave Kansas State an advantage it hasn't enjoyed for some time over Kansas. The former Wildcats scored a 169-163 victory over the ex-Jayhawks in the Kansas Alumni All-Star Classic in the Landon Arena.
Kansas State borrowed inside powerhouse Cliff Levington, a former Wichita State star who is currently with the Atlanta Hawks. Levington was a key player in bringing the final seconds of the game, which ran into overtime tied at 148.
"Cliff really made the difference and helped them out," said former Kansas player Ron Kellogg. "If he wasn't on their team, we would have won. We were trying to win, but they had that inside game."
Kellogg popped in 39 points, including a spectacular three-pointer from well outside the professional three-point line. It was another Kellogg three-point shot that tied the game with five seconds on the clock and throwing it into overtime.
The players started off the game relaxed, with a lot of laughter flowing between the teams and the referees. But by the second half, things heated up. The play became more physical, and old rivalries surfaced.
Kellogg hit five three-point shots and was the game's high scorer. Ex-Wildcat Norris Coleman came closest to Kellogg with 32 points.
"One thing about ball players is that off the court we may be great friends, but once we're on the court the old rivalries come out," said former Kansas All-American Jo Jo White.
One of the college battles that remained brewing was that of Coleman and Kansas' Calvin Thompson.
The two of them fought for every ball, showing the physical side of game.
"Yeah, it was getting rough out there, but me and Calvin, we were just having fun," Coleman said laughing.
Thompson struggled with his inside shoot, making only three-for-15, but outside he scored 15 points, going five-for-nine from the three-point
But it was White who ran the game for Kansas. White, who was a two-time All-American at Kansas, played professionally for the Boston Celtics.
On the bench, he was yelling instructions, hollering plays and wringing a towel as his teammates fought for leads and then lost them.
On the court, White was all over the floor, directing the play, motivating the team and showing the younger players what it takes to be a living legend. He led the team in assists with nine and was the second leading team scorer with 23 points.
At 40, White is still in excellent condition, and except for a cramp he got in the back of his leg late in the game, he easily kept up with the rest of the team, many of whom were 15 years his junior.
"I enjoy playing." White said. "I've always prided myself on being in great condition. I play about four or five times a week, but now I get to play for the love of the game, not because my contract says I have to. Now I'm in a position where I can hand down my expertise."
White represents athletes of several sports and works out with many of the younger professional basketball players.

Three straight losses Friday and Saturday extended the KU volleyball team's losing streak to four matches. The losses resulted in a last-pace finish in their own four-team tournament.
The Jayhawks dropped both matches in the Kansas Tournament in Allen Field House and an additional match Saturday morning, as their record dropped to 4-6 for the season.
Kansas will not play another match in the field house until an Oct. 16 meeting with Iowa State The Jayhawks, who have played seven of their first 10 matches at home, have only five remaining matches this season.
But playing matches away from home might help the team, senior outside Shannon Ridgeway said.
"That might do us some good," she said. "I don't know, it's a change of pace, maybe. Our first tournament was away, and we did really well."
The Jayhawks' first matches this season were at the Southwest Missouri Tournament where they placed second.
At that tournament, Kansas defeated Southwest Missouri State for the first time in the three-year tenure of coach Frank Albiz. Since then, however, the team has been slowly slipping, with a third place finish at the Kansas Tournament Sept. 11-12, a quick three-game loss to nationally ranked Nebraska and the three losses over the weekend.
In the first round on Friday, Michigan State downed Kansas in a hard
fought, five-game match, 10-15, 15-11,
15-8, 12-15, 15-8.
That put Kansas in the third place game Saturday evening, where it was defeated by Sam Houston State 15-6, 15-5, 10-15, 15-12.
On Saturday morning, the Jayhawks were trounced by Southwest Missouri State 15.7, 15.6, 15.8. Thirteen of the Bears' 45 points were scored on serving aces in the 58-minute match.
Albiz started to juggle the lineup during the Southwest Missouri State match, a pattern she continued through the second game of the Sam Houston State match.
Against Sam Houston State, Albizt started senior Kristi Conway in place of Ridgeway in the first game. In the second game, she started senior Michelle Klone in place of outside hitter Judy Desch, and junior Kim Robinson in place of setter Monica Spencer and Conway.
"The subs did a nice job." Ridgeway said. "They let the starters see what was going wrong. I think we learned a lot."
"We were letting down mentally. When we played poorly, I think it shook our confidence. I just tell them. 'If it's a good set, hit it, if it's not, keep it in play.' When we lose confidence, we tend not to hit hard"
Kansas rallied to win the third game against Sam Houston State with the lineup that had been starting for most of the season.
Albitz said, "I started moving people around because I didn't have anything to lose. The thing we were having was a lot of mental errors.

For one game, the Jayhawks played solid, error-free baseball in winning the first of three five-inning contests against Butler County Community College 16-1.
Overall, the Jayhawks outscored Butler County 23-19, but Kansas dropped the second game 11-4 and the last game 7-3.

Baseball coach Dave Bingham said the team played a good, aggressive first game but didn't pitch or play well on defense the last two games.
well on defense. "Brad pitched a good game and Jarrett (Boeschen) played well defensively." Bingham said.
he said that although he hated to lose, the fall season was for working out problems.
Early in the fall season, Bingham was concerned with the lack of offense, but yesterday his concern switched to pitching and attitude. He said that other than the game from Hinkle, the pitchers did not perform. He also questioned some of the players' willingness to win.
"Some of the guys, I am not sure they want to win." Bingham said. "I don't want to sound too negative, but this is the time to learn how to win."
