tory, and no matter what you do in sports there's going to be some pressure," Painter said. "But I think there's good pressure and bad pressure, and I think this is good pressure. It's not like, 'you have to do this,' but more like, 'you did well, but I expect you to do better.'"
Painter said that Kempf's reputation as a distance coach was one of the reasons he had come to Kansas.
"He's a great coach," Painter said. "He designs sets to really help us do better in the long run."
Painter became one of the most sought-after freshmen in the country after a standout high career in Greeley, Colo.
His father, Lynn, was his coach
and mentor.
"That's one of the reasons I got into swimming," Painter said. "He didn't push me into it, but I was always around it, and he let me start taking lessons when I was five."
In high school, Painter qualified for the Olympic Trials, won Junior Nationals and placed third at the 1995 U.S. Open, all in the 1,500-meter freestyle.
He also was named the Greeley Tribune Swimmer-of-the-Year three consecutive years and lettered in swimming four years.
When he finishes college, Painter said he hoped to find a job that would keep him close to the sport.
"I'd like to go into sports medicine or maybe be a swimming coach," he said.
Critics blitz Bono as Chiefs struggle
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Steve Bono is the constant target of criticism from local call-in shows to the Internet again this year since losses to San Diego and Pittsburgh have dropped the Chiefs to 5-2.
Bono is 18-5 since becoming the Chiefs starting quarterback. But he'll soon head into the second half of the season — where he slumped badly last year.
He didn't help himself by complaining about the food in Kansas City restaurants and deciding to stay home in San Francisco during the Chiefs' off-season training program.
"When I was a rookie in Minnesota, they booed Tommy Kramer all the time," Bono said. "They asked me about the booing of Tommy. I said, 'I guess when they are booing me, then I will know that I am the starting quarterback.'
Fars made Bono the fall guy when, after leading the Chiefs to a 13-3 regular season record last year, he threw three interceptions in a first-round playoff loss to Indianapolis.
Last year, Bono threw 15 touchdown passes and four interceptions, while passing for 1,677 yards in the first half. In the second half, he had only six touchdown passes and was
"I made that statement a long time ago. But never really did I imagine what it was like."
intercepted six times while throwing for 1,444 yards.
Then he was intercepted three times by the Colts to deny the Chiefs a chance at the AFC championship game. The only bigger scapegoat was kicker Lin Ellott, whose three missed field goals led to his dismissal after the season.
Bono's numbers are good again this year as the Chiefs head to ABC West leader Denver on Sunday. Kansas City starts the second half with games at Minnesota and then at Arrowhead stadium against Green Bay.
"I played better the first half last year than the second," said Bono, who finally got his chance as a starter last year with the retirement of Joe Montana. "I know I need to reverse that. My whole thought process now is that there is a long road and you have to pace yourself through it.
The Chiefs' offense has sputtered much of the season. Tamarick Vanover, counted on to be the big-play receiver, has struggled to recover from cracked ribs. Lake Dawson, the second receiver, is out for the season with a knee injury.
"Just knowing that it is a marathon. I started in the offseason with workouts aimed at making it through the whole marathon and keep climbing the hill."
Injuries to tight ends Keith Cash and Derrick Walker have further limited Bono's options and hurt the Chiefs' running game.
FOOTBALL

A big part of the Jahawhaks early-season offensive success could have been because the ball was spread around to several receivers. Six receivers caught passes in the season opener against Ball State, including two with four or more. The next week against Texas Christian, seven receivers caught passes. Kansas won both games.
Kansas junior quarterback Matt Johner said, "Earlier in the year we were getting it to a lot of different receivers, but we've gotten away from that. We should try to mix it up more, but I think right now we have more problems than just throwing to more people."
But against Colorado only four receivers caught passes, and the leading receiver had only three catches.
Moore said that for the Jayhawks to beat No. 5 Nebraska Saturday, they will have to mix up their offense.
"We were successful when we mixed it up earlier in the season," he said. "We have to get back to that. Not just in getting the ball to me, but to guys like Hosea (Friday) and (Andre) Carter. If we do that, we'll be more successful."

There may have been changes lately, but don't worry. Some are going to last and some are only temporary. If you've been meaning to drop a bad habit, you can do it now.
Your inner voices chatter so much, sometimes it's hard for your spirit guides to get through. You might also learn where to get a great deal. This afternoon will be good for selling stuff if you need cash.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 10.
