Kansan staff report
Iowa State won the men's competition with 72 points, and Minnesota won the women's competition with 40 points.
In his second cross country race, freshman Ricardo Ameronga led the Jayhawks with a second-place finish and a time of 25 minutes, 35 seconds in the 5-mile race. Sophomore Andy Tate placed 14th with a time of 26:31.
Six of the seven Kansas scorers finished in the top 50, including senior Brian Schultz and juniors Lewis Theobald, Craig Hettche and Drew Ryan.
Leading the Kansas women for the fourth-consecutive race was senior co-captain Lynn Presti, who finished 10th with a time of 18:48 in the 5K event. The other senior co-captain, Emily Miles, placed 27th with a time of 19:17.
Kansas cross country coach Gary Schwartz said he was encouraged that each team had progressed during the season.
"Both teams had improved performances," Schwartz said. "We had some good individual races. Ricardo ran well, and Andy ran one of the best races of the year. As a team, we are still not where we need to be, but we will continue to work hard to get ready
for the Big 12 Championships."
The Kansas cross country teams will not compete again until postseason. They compete Nov. 1 at the Big 12 Cross Country Championships in Stillwater, Okla.

Kansas finally scores a Big 12 win
By Matt Gardner sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Having been shut out for six matches in Big 12 Conference play,
the Kansas volleyball team was anxious for a win. With two matches on the road last week and against two other teams
yet to record a win in conference play, the Jayhawks were hoping to better their standing.
time Kansas had lost in three games.
And they did. Kansas scored a Big 12 win, splitting its matches against Missouri and Iowa State.
The Jayhawks lost to Missouri in Columbia, Mo., on Friday 14-16, 5-15, 16-18 — the sixth consecutive
But on Saturday in Ames, Iowa, the Jayhawks turned things around and defeated Iowa State in five games, 15-8, 11-15, 12-15, 15-4, 16-14 and ended their eight-match losing streak.
Kansas had to battle Missouri without setter Laura Rodhe, who was sick. Tiffany Sennett substituted for Rodhe and finished the match with 40 set assists.
The Jayhawks' defense failed against Missouri, allowing the Tigers 56 kills and a .258 attacking percentage.
"We really struggled defensively," said Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise. "We had 21 digs in the first game, but at the end of the match, we only had 32. Our defense kind of fell apart there, and our passing game kind of struggled."
Although Kansas struggled with
defense against Missouri, the Jayhawks showed defensive strength against Iowa State for their first conference win.
"It was great to get our first conference win — especially on the road," Schonewise said. "It was a great defensive effort for us. We had four players in double-digit digs."
Despite stronger defense, offense won the match for the Jayhawks. In Kansas' three game wins, the team recorded better than .300 in attacking percentage; in their two loses the percentage was less than .100.
"Our offense was definitely the key for us, but it was a great defensive effort." Schonewise said.
The Jayhawks have a week to practice before a home series on Friday and Saturday. Texas will visit Allen Field House on Friday, and Texas A&M will face Kansas on Saturday.
