Swimmers set to take a dive in intra-squad competition
Goal of meet is to check fitness levels; both teams feature superior athletes
By Brian Custer sports@kanson.com Kansas sportwriter
Rivalry brings out the best in some competitors, and the Kansas swim team is set to compete against an evenly matched rival: themselves.
At 7 tonight, the Jayhawks will split into two teams, the Crimson and the Blue, and battle it out at the Robinson Center Natatorium.
The Crimson team features sophomore Tyler Painter, who recently returned from World Championship Camp in Colorado. Painter is training for the World Championship meet held January in Australia.
Sharing the spotlight with Painter is three-time All-American senior Kristin Nilsin; Trent Hartl, 200 freestyle school record-holder junior; and Rebecca Eustice, 200 backstroke record-holder sophomore.
The Blue team has three NCAA championship meet qualifiers: juniors Quincy Adams and Adrienne Turner, and sophomore Brandon Chestnut. Senior co-captain Kostaki Chilligiris will also strengthen the Blue team.
Chiligiris said that the team has been training intensively this week. The Jayhawks have been practicing from 6 to 7:15 a.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m. every day.
"The meet is a measure of the type of shape we are in," Chiligiris said. "It is important to see where people are at [physically]."
Head coach Gary Kempf agreed
"This meet will be a real eye opener when some of the swimmers find out what condition they're in," Kempf said. "And some of them might not like it when their eyes are opened."
Kempf said that although the swimmers would take the meet lightly, some slots in the roster were undetermined for the Big 12 Invitational Oct. 24-25.
"Some spots are guaranteed, but a lot of them are fighting for a spot every time they get into the pool," Kempf said.
The battle for the remaining roster spots and the rivalry between the Crimson and Blue teams will not be the only feuds tonight. The upperclassmen hope to set the record straight with the

freshmen.
At the Open Water race last month, the freshmen finished first and second on the women's side and third and fourth on the men's side in the 3.1 mile course at Lone Star Lake.
"They [freshmen] won't be winning too much this time," Chiligiris said.
Regardless of tonight's outcome, Kempf has one guarantee.
"I know we're going to win this meet," Kempf said. "We haven't lost it in 21 years."
The regular season will begin at the Big 12 Invitational in Oklahoma City against Iowa State, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas and Texas A&M.
