Weekend brings mixed results
Team falls to Mizzou, defeats Nebraska-Omaha in back-to-back duals

Swimming coach Clark Campbell likened his team's performance this weekend to the Kansas landscape: flat. The swimming and diving team lost to Missouri 176-119 Friday at the Robinson Natatorium before coming back and beating Nebraska-Omaha 79-45 on Saturday.
"We had a good meet last week in Arkansas and we weren't on that level this week." Campbell said. "To their credit, they came back and took care of business against Nebraska-Omaha."
Senior Meghan Proehl won the one-meter dive competition, accumulating an NCAA-qualifying standard score of 273.9 against Missouri.
She also took second place in the three-meter dive with a score of 241.8. Proehl said she thought she could still perform better, too.

"This weekend says nothing about the potential this team has," Proehl said. "By the time Big 12 Championships come is when the whole team will be peaking, and we will be much more competitive with Missouri."
Junior Iulia Kuzhil stood out in the pool by breaking a Robinson Natatorium record in the 100-yard backstroke.
Her time of 55.61 seconds bested the previous record by .26 seconds and Kuzhil met the NCAA 'B' qualifying standard.
The next day, the Jayhawks
played host to Nebraska-Omaha in their second straight dual, earning a victory with a first-place finish from sophomore Stephanie Payne in the 200-vard butterfly.
Kansas also got two first-place finishes from freshman Monica Johannessen in the 50- and 100-
yard freestyle events and another from senior captain Carrah Haley in the 200-yard backstroke.
"It's still early in the season and I know both the swimmers and divers are still working on perfecting a lot of skills," Proehl said. "Personally, I'm excited with the way the season has started out."
Campbell said the team dealt with "not typical swimming injuries" and illness, which contributed to a lack of practice time for the entire team.
od where there was at least one girl with things like bronchitis." Campbell said. "Swimming is probably one of the most training-intensive sports because you can only improve when you're in the water. We're really hopeful that we have the sickness stuff behind us to start growing."
The Jayhawks will be back in the pool Nov. 7 in Springfield, Mo., for a dual with Drury University.

Lambeau on Sunday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre still knows how to win big games at Lambeau Field, even if this one came for the enemy and to a chorus of boos.
NFL
Despite being jeered repeatedly by Packers fans who once cheered his every move, Favre completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns. The Vikings took a firm hold on the NFC North standings.
"But Packer fans cheer for the Packers first," Favre said. "I know that. But I hope that everyone in the stadium watching tonight said, 'I sure hate those jokers on the other side, but he does play the way he's always played.'"
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Capitalizing on turnovers, Tennessee beats No. 21 S.C.
Favre strong in victory against former team
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Decked out in black jerseys, Tennessee took three South Carolina fumbles and turned them into touchdowns as the Volunteers beat the No. 21 Gamecocks 31-13 Saturday night.
For the second time in less than a month, Brett Favre sliced up his former team and stuck it to the franchise that cast him aside as the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 38-26 at
Jonathan Crompton threw two touchdowns, Montario Hardesty ran for two more and Rico McCoy forced two fumbles as coach Lane Kiffin grabbed his first win over a
After warming up in their traditional orange home jerseys, the Vols (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) seemed to take the Gamecocks by surprise as they took the field in Halloween-inspired uniforms.
And how's this for a twist: Tennessee's victory helped Florida. The Gators clinched the SEC East and a spot in the conference title game when the rival Vols beat South Carolina.

Novice members excel in first races
ROWING
The varsity rowers were also in action Sunday, turning in similar results. The Varsity Eight boats placed first, second, third and fifth, and the Varsity Four boats

placed third and fourth. But coach Rob Catloth said it was mostly the freshman rowers' impressive debut that made the day a success.
"As a novice, you don't know what to expect," senior Lindsey Lawrence said. "It was great to get them a few raisons, and let them get familiar with the regatta environment. I think overall they did a really great job."

Now, the novice rowers will be relegated to practice and improvement until they return to action in March. For the remainder of the fall, the varsity rowers will be firmly in the spotlight. Still, the team's veterans reiterated the importance of the experience that Sunday's regatta provided for the youngsters.
The four Second Novice Eight boats placed first through fourth in their race, while the First Novice Eight boats finished second, fourth, fifth, and eighth. In the Novice Four race, the two Kansas boats finished in third and fourth. In the eyes of their upper-classman teammates, the novice rowers passed the first real test of their collegiate careers.
"Our main thing today was the novice races, trying to get everyone some experience," Catloth said. "They did really well today, so I think we achieved that goal."
For the novice members of the rowing team, Sunday's Frostbite Regatta in Wichita was their first and only chance to compete this fall. They took full advantage of their lone opportunity.

"It was a great way for them to start off," senior Stacy Rachow said. "They're only going to get better from here."

Ray Allen scored 17, Kevin Garnett had 14 and Rondo had 10 assists for Boston, which pulled away with an 11-3 run in the last four minutes to turn an 86-83 lead into
Peja Stojakovic scored 26 as a reserve for New Orleans, including 6-for-10 3-point shooting. Emeka Okafar had 10 rebounds for New Orleans.
