"The NCNA needs to be divided. It's too cumbersome the way it is. We have pushed for reorganization of the NCNA very strongly in the Big Eight. It's a must."
Estes, who was named the Oklahoma Swimmer-of-the-Year following his senior year at Bartlesville's College High School, is expected to be one of the Jayhawks' top returners from a strong freshman crop last season.
KU swimmer David Estes set a meet record 2.06:5 in winning the 200-meter butterfly at the National Junior Olympics swimming meet in Memphis, Tenn., Sunday.
