The swimming and diving team travels north this weekend in search of its first victory of the season. Friday the team will be in Minneapolis swimming against the top-ten ranked Golden Gophers, and Saturday the team will travel to Cedar Falls where it will compete against Northern Iowa and North Dakota in its first double-dual meet of the season.
Coach Clark Campbell said concentrated weekends of swimming are something the team does each semester to prepare for championship meets.
"Getting this opportunity to race two days in a row really helps simulate the Missouri Invite in the fall and then the Big 12 and NCAA Championships in the spring," he said.
Coming off a loss in its first meet at Arizona, the team is more prepared for the meet against Minnesota, senior captain Stephanie Payne said, because of the improvements made in each competition.
"Swimming against top-ranked teams in the beginning of the year will help us up for the rest of the season," Paane said.
In Arizona, Payne finished first in
the 200 IM, and juniors Brooke Brull and Vanessa Hanbury, in a combined four meets, were the fastest Jayhawk swimmers.
"Stephanie, Brooke and Deanna [Marks] have all been doing a wonderful job from the get go, so we need to keep them heading down that road," Campbell said.
The Jayhawks did not swim against Minnesota last season, but but the Golden Gophers defeated Michigan 200-150 and Iowa State 199-100 in their first two dual-meets of this season, making them 2-0.
"Last year they had two national champions," Campbell said. "so they are very strong, especially in breast-stroke, middle distance and distance freestyle, as well as diving."
Minnesota has four strong freestyle swimmers returning and two senior assets in the individual medley. Their freshmen, however, won seven of the team's 13 event victories against the Cyclones.
Kansas defeated both of this Saturday's opponents, Northern Iowa and North Dakota, last season but Campbell said it is very important that the athletes are ready to compete at a high level on Saturday.
"Northern Iowa and North Dakota are going to both bring their 'A game',"
Campbell said.
Campbell said.
Northern Iowa is a young team with more than 80 percent underclassman. Kansas is familiar with UNI because many of its swimmers are from Kansas and Missouri, said Campbell. But as North Dakota recently moved to Division I, it is more of a wildcard team.
North Dakota defeated in-state rival South Dakota last weekend and is 1-0 for the season.
With more swimming and less dryland workouts, Payne said the team will continue to improve the more they are in the water.
"The girls have been diving great and
I hope it carries over when we travel," said diving coach Eric Elliott. "We are also working on some new dives and look forward to getting in some good training while we are there."

Regardless of the sport, the athletes of Kansas find a way to dislike their adversaries from Missouri.

The soccer team still remembers the 4-1 loss to the Tigers in 2010 as a physical and frustrating contest. That memory had them focus all week as they prepared for today's return trip to Columbia, Mo.
victory over Texas Tech last Friday.
"They're very competitive," Francis said about Missouri. They're going to challenge every second ball. They always play that way. They press you in the formation that they play."
"Playing them last year, we have a lot to prove to them and hopefully they're not underestimating us, but I think that we can really come and say something with this game," said sophomore midfielder Caroline Kastor.
An additional factor for the jay-hawks will be how the defense holds up against top-quality opponents, something that they have improved on from earlier in the year.
In order for Kansas to come out with a win, coach Mark Francis said the team must exploit Missouri's 3-4-3 formation whenever possible. The team also understands it might not create the same amount of chances against Missouri as it did in its 3-1
Defensive Player of the Week accolades after making eight saves against Texas Tech.

"We've made so much progress from the Florida and OSU game," said sophomore defender Madi Hillis. "I feel like we've improved so much. I think if we come out there and play physical and play hard we'll get a really good win."
"Sometimes in those situations, you get an opportunity," Francis said. "It's just whether or not you take advantage of it, and I think Stroud's definitely taken advantage of it."
The emergence of freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud also continues to be beneficial in recent weeks. Stroud saw an opening for more playing time after her fellow goalkeeper junior Kat Liebetrau suffered some injuries.
The Jayhawks also know they are in a decent position to make the NCAA tournament according to their No.29 RPI, which measures the strength of a team's schedule and how the team does against those opponents. Winning out the rest of their conference schedule will also ensure the Jayhawks' place in the field.
Sophomore forward Caroline Kastor tries to keep the ball in bounds. Kastor saw substaintial minutes against Baylor.
Kansas anticipates another physical contest with Missouri. It's fair to say that yellow or even red cards may come out of the referees' pockets in this game.
"I told the girls yesterday at practice all of that doesn't really mear jack if we don't finish the season out," Francis said.
"It's Kansas-Missouri. You know it's going to be intense. It always is when we play each other, so we wouldn't expect anything different," Francis said.
After the game tonight in Columbia, Kansas travels to Ames, Iowa, to
face Iowa State in the second-to-last game of the season. That game starts at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The office began in 1979 as a campaign promise by then student body president Steve Leben, who now serves as a judge on the state's
Court of Appeals.
Funded through a student fee of less than $11 per person, the office does not charge additional fees for its services, which are provided by attorneys and law students under attorney supervision. The office assists many students in settling disputes with their landlords.
"A lot of people don't know what landlords are required to provide," Hardesty said. The office sees cases in which students are living with perpetual health and safety code violations, such as electrical problems and malfunctioning fire extinguishers, that go unattended by landlords. The office helps students report any violations to the city and represents them in court if needed. Offentimes these issues
