CROSS COUNTRY
Runners beat personal records at ISU

BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON
Both the men's and the women's cross-country teams finished in the top half of the field this week at the ISU Pre-Nationals Invitational.
At the invitational, the competitors are split into three different races each with equally tough competition.
"We had in our race Northern Arizona and Oregon, the top two teams" said senior Bret Imgrund.
The women's team finished 18th out of 37 teams, which featured four of the nation's top women's teams.
“Pre-nats has all the best teams in the country in it, minus one or two maybe,” sophomore Rebeka Stowe said. “This was a really big meet to just kind of see where we line up with those other teams around the country.”
Junior Amanda Miller and Stowe finished in second and third for Kansas with times of 21:49.60 and 21:51.70.
Finishing first for Kansas was senior Lauren Bonds, placing 17th out of 247 individuals with a time of 21:03.70.
This was a career best for Stowe, cutting one minute off her time on this course when she ran it last year.
Stowe said one of her goals for the season was to finish with Miller.
"I've just been working like all of
our practices trying to stay as close to Kara and Amanda as I could," she said of teammates Miller and sophomore Kara Windisch. "I've done a better job at that, falling off of them as much at practices, and I think that helped mentally."
Senior Kellie Schneider finished in the top four for Kansas for the first time this season with a time of 22:22.00, a personal record.
Finishing fifth for Kansas in 164th place overall was Windisch at 22:48.20. Freshmen Tessa Turcotte and Kathleen Thompson finished fifth and sixth for Kansas, with times of 22:17.60 and 23:40.30.
The men's team finished 17th out of 34 teams.
Each runner finished at least thirty seconds faster than his time from last year — many of them finishing one minute faster.
Kyra Kilwein, left, and Allie Marquis run through a bridge at the Bob Timmons Invitational meet Sept. 5 at Rim Rock Farm. The women's team finished 18th this weekend at the ISU Pre-NationalsInvitational.
Sophomore Donny Wasinger and Imgrund finished first and second for Kansas in 42nd and 59th place with times of 24:38.10 and 24:46.60. Both runners ran career-best times.
"We had another year of training and we had a better idea of how to compete and how the race was going to go out," Imgrund said.
"The conditions were much sloppier than they were last year and we were happy to have Donny and I under 25," Imgrund said.
Coming in third for Kansas was sophomore Kaleb Humphreys. Kaleb has slowly been finishing higher up in the Kansas team —
finishing fifth, tenth and fourth for Kansas in the previous meets
Sophomore Austin Bussing and junior Nick Capriario finished next for Kansas with times of 25:06:10 and 25:31:90 in 123rd and 128th
place overall.
Finishing up for the men were junior Dan Van Orsdel and sophomore Josh Baden.

SOCCER
Weekend games bring mixed results
An unpredictable Big 12 soccer season continued this weekend for the Jayhawks. On its last regular season road trip, Kansas defeated Oklahoma 2-1, but couldn't overcome Baylor in a long, disappointing match that took two overtime periods to settle.

Friday's game against Oklahoma began well for Kansas, as it tallied the first four shots of the game and outshot the Sooners 8-4 in the first half.

But Oklahoma still managed to score first when senior Whitney Palmer capitalized on a mishandled ball from the Kansas defense and scored on a 17-yard blast in the 37th minute. The goal was Palmer's 15th of the season, the second-most in the Big 12.
The lead was short-lived, however, as Kansas answered two minutes later when two Kansas freshmen leveled the game at 1-1. Whitney Berry scored left-footed off Shelby Williamson's cross to tally her fifth goal of the season.
Kansas dominated the second half as well with 10 shots on goal, and it paid off in the 73rd minute, when sophomore Emily Cressy collected a well-placed pass from Williamson and scored on the near side of the goal. Cressy's goal put her at seven on the season, which leads the team. The goal also proved to be the game-winner, as Kansas held off Oklahoma for the rest of the match.
It was Kansas' first conference victory on the road, and it gave the team a huge boost, coach Mark Francis said.
"Of all the games we've played this year, this was probably our biggest," he said.
The Jayhawks' success hit a wall Sunday against Baylor. Kansas dug itself a hole early by scoring on themselves then managed to tie it up in the second half and
force overtime. But Baylor freshman Lisa Swilinski gave Baylor the overtime goal and the victory with a 20-yard free kick that struck the crossbar and went in.
The Bears applied plenty of pressure on the Jayhawks in the first half with seven shots to the Jayhawks' five. It paid off in the 19th minute when a ball in the Kansas penalty area deflected off of a Kansas defender and into its own net to give Baylor a 1-0 lead.
"The first 20 minutes we came out a little bit slow," Francis said. "They're a very aggressive team with a lot of hustle and we didn't really match that."
The momentum swung in favor of Kansas in the second half when senior Lauren Jackson crossed a ball to Cressy, who placed a shot between the Baylor goalkeeper's legs for her eighth goal of the season.
The Jayhawks continued to create quality opportunities in the second half, with two headers barely stopped by the Baylor goalkeeper and one shot off the crossbar.
was just a matter of time before we scored," Francis said.
But the Jayhawks couldn't capitalize on any of their chances, so the game continued to overtime, where Baylor stunned the Jayhawks with a game-ending goal two minutes into the second overtime period.
"I felt like in the second half, it
"Today was disappointing because of the way we lost," Francis said. "I felt we deserved a little more out of it, but we're playing well."
It was the first time Kansas had lost to Baylor since 2002, and put Kansas at ninth place in the Big 12 with three games left to play. But the remaining games against Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri are all at home, and Francis said he was still confident in the team's odds for a postseason berth. Kansas sits just three points back from eighth-placed Texas Tech but will need all the victories it can get in a tight Big 12 race with six teams within four points of each other.
