Bowling for basics at season start
By Jason Elmquist sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After last year's appearance in the national bowling finals, the Kansas bowling team planned to use its first tournament of the season as a springboard toward the rest of the season, said coach Mike Fine.
Last weekend, they did just that. The team traveled to Springfield, Mo., Oct. 25-26 to compete in the Mid-States Intercollegiate Bowling Tournament.
"It was a good event for us, because we were able to put a lot of new people to the program into the fire," Fine said. "It also allowed us to figure out where we are as a team and get a much better understanding of what to work on as the season goes on."
The women's team placed seventh out of eleven teams, lead by Kelly Zapf with an average round of 193.
Sarah Roenfeldt was second on the team with an average round of 190.
"I know I have a lot to work on,
but this weekend put me in a new
role at the anchor position," Zapf said. "I have begun to learn how to help the team."
Zapf said she was very optimistic about the year to come, but said the team was going to have to work hard to reach its goals.
"We are a young team and we have good team chemistry,but we still have a lot of work to do," she said.
The men's team placed ninth out of twenty teams. The team was led by Rhino Page with an average round of 209 and Josh Stephens with an average round of 203.
Two newcomers, Chris Dilley and Trent Overbey, bowled average rounds of 194 and 185 respectively.
"I'm bowling a lot better now then when I came in," Dilley said. "There were little flaws in my game that were making a difference I didn't realize."

Overbey was equally pleased. "I'm really excited about making the team," he said. "I got off on a rocky start, but thing should only go up from here."

"Shadrack and Mathew originally recruited him to go to K-State, but I asked him to come to Kansas and run with me," Kimeli said. "They were doing their own thing over there, and thought I we could do our own thing over here."

The chase comes down to KState and Nebraska. While Nebraska has the better record, Kansas State is the more talented team and should take out Nebraska when the two teams play. With Roberson back, the Wildcats have caught stride and are starting to show some of their preseason promise, ranking in the top 15 nationally in rushing offense and total defense.

However, no matter the outcome of the race, both brothers said they would always be each other's biggest supporter.

sive newcomer of the year, quarterback Vince Young of Texas should get the nod, while Gabe Toomey of Kansas and Donte Nicholson of Oklahoma are competing for defensive newcomer of the year. Mark Mangino is the hands down coach of the year. Even if Kansas doesn't win another game this season, the change between last season's Kansas team and this year's team is enormous and can be equated to great coaching.

"I was telling him it was going to be a big deal with him being from K-State," Kimel said. "I basically told him to kick his ass."
