Diver feeling no pressure as leader of young team
By Matt Woodruff
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas junior diver Brian Humphrey has always put pressure on himself to perform. But this year he will have more reason than to push him himself to succeed, he said.
The Kansas men's diving team will have three divers for the 1996-97 season, and only Humphrey was on the team last year. Freshman divers Joe Donnally and Sean Jacobs make up the rest of the team.
Humphrey said that he had not noticed the added pressure because of the high goals he had set for himself this season.
"I think that, personally, I've already put a lot of pressure on myself," Humphrey said. "I just want to perform as well as I can."
Kansas diving coach Don Fearon, who enters his eighth season at Kansas, said that Humphrey expected a lot from himself.
The team started the season working on fundamentals and mechanics and is now trying to improve its more difficult dives.
"He really puts enough pressure on himself," Fearon said. "But we're really going to expect him to be our workhorse this year. There's no doubt about that."
"Practice is going pretty good so far," Fearon said. "We spent a good three weeks doing a lot of work on fundamentals. Now
Fearon said that the big optionals could not be performed well without a solid grasp of fundamentals.
we're working on our flipping and some of the options."
The team has set some short-term goals for the Crimson and Blue meet on Oct. 11 and
for the Big 12 Invitational Oct. 18 in St. Louis.

Fearon said the team would keep its dives simple at the first meet and work on improving its newer dives as the season progressed.
"They'll each pick a few of their dives, probably the newer ones, and work on those," he said.
Humphrey said the team would have to work extra hard because of the addition of some strong diving programs to the conference.
"At the Big 12 meet, we'll be sending three guys and three girls and hop-efully, we'll have developed lifts on the one- and three-meter boards."
"The Texas teams are really good," he said. "I think as a whole we just want to improve and be able to compete with the other teams in the conference."
Kansas soccer goes 0-4 in past two road trips

"Today was the first small step to get us back on track," Kansas soccer coach Lori Walker said after the game against Tulsa. "This was the hardest"
The Kansas women's soccer team will finally spend a weekend at home.
The Jayhawks played the past two weekends in Texas against Texas and Texas A&M and then in Arkansas and Oklahoma against Arkansas and Tulsa. The Jayhawks lost by a combined score of 18-2 in four contests.
Kansas played its best game during the last match of the road trip against Tulsa. Freshman forward Cynthia Dahle scored her team-leading third goal of the season.
"Today was the first small step to get up back on track."

we've played as a team. I am proud of the effort we gave today and the opportunities we created."
Kansas scored the game's first goal when Dahle netted the rebound from a free kick by freshman midfielder Kendyl Michner. Michner's kick rocketed off the crossbar. But the Golden Hurricane led 2-1 at the half.
The frustration got to the Jayhawks when sophomore midfielder Erion Hon
received a yellow card midway through the second half. Walker received a yellow card six minutes later. Tulsa won 3-1, dropping the Jawhaws to 2-6.

This will be Texas Tech's first conference road trip of the season. Texas Tech freshman forward Kristy Frantz leads the Red Raiders in shots (27), goals (10), and points (22). The Red Raiders are 5-0 in games when Frantz scores.
The Jayhawks will play the Baylor Bears on Sunday. That match begins at 1 p.m. at SuperTarget Field.

Santa Monica, Calif., considered one of the top players in the state, before he committed to UCLA last week.
■ Shooting guard Kenny Gregory of Independence High School in Columbus, Ohio, has narrowed his list of schools to three. Kansas, the University of Cincinnati and Clemson University remain his top choices. Gregory also plans to visit Kansas on Oct. 18 at Late Night.
The 6-5 swing man averaged 28 points and nine rebounds a game last season.
Fellenzer said that Gregory, who was thought at one time to
"I think they're in pretty good shape with Gregory," Fellenzer said.
be leaning toward Cincinnati, could become a Jayhawk now that Kentucky has moved away from him.
Gregory's high school coach, Dave Feyh, said the guard would make a decision after his visit to Kansas.
"The question right now is where is he leaning, and I don't know." Feyh said.
Two point guards who still
"I don't think it's a factor," Feyh said. "He has never said he wants to stay close to home."
Feyh said he didn't think Cincinnati had the hometown advantage in Gregory's case.
El-Amin averaged 24 points and 7 assists a game during his junior year, and he originally committed to Minnesota last year. However, El-Amin since has decided to visit several other schools. Glenn said Kansas probably would get a visit from El-Amin, who also had Georgetown high on his list.
are considering the Jayhawks are 5-11 Khalid El-Amin from Minneapolis and 6-foot Tony Harris from Memphis, Teen.
Harris also is considered a favorite to stay home, even though Kansas remains on his short list. Harris averaged 28 points, six assists and four steals a game during his junior year. His decision could come
down to the Jayhawks, Memphis State and Tennessee.
Albert Mouring of Federalburg, Pa., has Kansas on his short list. One recruiting service said Mourning was getting an in-home visit from Williams sometime this week. The 6-3 guard wasn't ranked in the Top 50 by most publications.
One strong in-state possibility for the Jayhawks is 6-6 forward Maurice Evans from Wichita. Evans, who plays at Wichita Collegiate High School, already has been visited by Williams.
He averaged 20.6 points and 9.2 rebounds a game last season. Evans said Kansas and Wichita State are his favorite prospects.

Football
The Kansas football team's record incorrectly appeared as 2-1 in yesterday's edition of the Kansan. The correct record is 2-0.
175 yards and two touchdowns
Junior Eric Vann leads with 89 yards while Galbreath has 69 yards.
Galbreath said the running backs could not be selfish with Kansas off to a 2-0 start.
"I feel I have the ability to do good," he said.
"Right now, I look at the team concept. Whatever it takes on my behalf to contribute, to get to the top. I'm content with that."
The Jayhawks have been without senior cocaptain Mark Sanders, who has not played because of a twisted ankle.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said yesterday that Sanders should be ready for Saturday's game at Utah. Sanders practiced with the Jayhawks yesterday and on Monday.
Galbreath said it was easier for backups when the starter acknowledged the job they do.
"June recognizes us, and we appreciate that," he said. "He appreciates what we're doing. I want the best for myself and the best
for June."
Vann said that despite his backup role, he did not have the typical backup outlook.
in practice I've got to prepare like I'm the starter," he said. "If I didn't prepare like that, then I'd be in trouble," he said. "Something could happen to June, or something could come up where one of us would have to step up and fill in."
Vann said the other running back responsibilities were overlooked often.
"I'm returning kicks, I'm catching passes, I'm blocking," he said. "We have other duties on the field that we have to do just as well."
Galbreath started at Kansas as a linebacker, and that defensive mentality has carried to the offensive side.
"I really like to hit, like to throw those blocks," he said.
This season is Henley's last, which means there will be an opening for a starting running back next year.
"Hopefully, next year I'll get a chance," Vann said. "I'm really looking forward to that, and I think I can be productive if I get that chance."
