The Kansas track and field team faced their toughest test of the indoor season so far when more than forty schools attended the Jayhawk Classic at Anschutz Pavilion on Friday. The meet featured a morning and an evening session for the first time this season.
The women had success both on the track and in the field. Senior Andrea Geubelle continued to impress, winning the triple jump with a jump of 13.45 meters (44-01.5 feet), her best jump of the season. Freshman Anastasia Muchkayev threw the shot put 55-0.75 feet, which is less than one inch away from the school record.
In the pentathlon, the jayhawks one-two punch of sophomore Lindsey Vollmer and senior Rebecca Neville finished first and second, respectively. Vollmer's time broke the record for the pentathlon. Both athletes finished in the top two of each of the five categories: 60 meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800 meters.
In the women's pole vault, junior Demi Payne continued to shine, winning with a vault of 4.25 meters (13-11.25 feet), also her best outing of the season. Sophomore Colleen O'Brien continued her success at Anschutz Pavilion with a personal best jump of 1.77 meters (5-09.75 feet).
In the long jump, a pair of Jayhawks placed first and second. Senior Francine Simpson won the event with a jump of 6.12 meters (20-01.0 feet) and freshman Sydney Conley followed her with a jump of 5.90 meters (19-04.25 feet).
On the track, senior Paris Daniels edged out the rest of the competition in the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.34, just 0.02 away from the building record that she owns. Junior Diamond Dixon held off the competition in the 400 meters to win with a time of 55.66.
The women's distance medley team won the event, as well as the 4x400 team of Daniels, Dixon, senior Denesha Morris and sophomore Alisha Keys. They finished with a time of 3:47.37.
On the men's side, junior Brendan Soucie continued his success in the 800 meter run, winning with a time of 1:54.49. Sophomores Michael Stigler and Kenneth McCuin finished second and third in the 600 yard run with times of 1:11.13 and 1:12.35, respectively.
The Jayhawks continue to dominate in middle distance races, running one-two in the 1000 meters. Junior Josh Munsch won with a time of 2.27.83 and sophomore
Reid Buchanian finished behind him in second place with a time of 2:28.47. Freshman Evan Landes won the 3000 meter run with a score of 8:28.26, his personal best.
The Jayhawks fielded two teams in the distance medley race and they finished first and second. In the 4x400 meter relay, the team of Stigler, McCuin, senior Kyle Clemons and sophomore Michael Hester won the event with a time of 3:16.82.
The Jayhawk Classic was the final home indoor meet of the season. The next time the Jayhawks perform at home will be in the Kansas Relays in an outdoor meet April 17-20. As for now, Kansas will travel to New York next weekend for the Armory Collegiate Invitational.

Woods sharp at Torrey Pines despite fog over weekend
SAN DIEGO — Due to the fog that wiped out an entire day of golf, the Farmers Insurance Open was never going to end on Sunday.

Tiger Woods follows the flight of his drive on the second hole of the South Course at Torrey Pines during the third round of the Tiger Insurance Open golf tournament on Sunday in San Diego.
Tiger Woods just made it look as if it was over.
Hands thrust in the pockets of his rain pants, Woods walked off Torrey Pines in the chill of twilight with a six-shot lead and only 11 more holes standing in the way of winning on the public course along the Pacific Ocean for the eighth time in his pro career.
He drove the ball with super-
control in the third round on his
way to a 3-under 69 to build a
four-shot lead after three rounds.
He lost control with his driver in
the fourth round and still man-
aged three birdies in seven holes.
"All we can do tomorrow is go out and try to make him think about it a little bit and see what happens," said Nick Watney, one
of two former winners at Torrey Pines who faced the tough task of trying to make up six shots on Woods.
"I've got a guy at the top of the leaderboard that doesn't like giving up leads," Snedeker said. "So I have to go catch him."
The other was defending champion Brandt Snedeker.
Woods was at 17-under par for the tournament and will resume his round on the par-3 eighth hole. CBS Sports wants to televise the Monday finish — no surprise with Woods in the lead — so play won't start until p.m. EST.
Snedeker played 13 holes of the final round. Watney played eight holes. Both were at 11 under par.
Woods played 25 holes. He started with a two-shot lead and tripled it before darkness suspended the final round.
"It was a long day ... and I played well today," Woods said. "Overall, I'm very pleased that I was able to build on my lead."
Thick fog washed out all of Saturday, forcing players to go from sunrise to sunset Sunday. They finished the third round, took about 30 minutes for lunch and went right back onto the golf course.
Woods finished 54 holes at 14 under 202 and was four shots ahead of Canadian rookie Brad Fritsch. It was the 16th time in his PGA Tour career that Woods had a 54-hole lead of at least four shots.
Woods has a 49-4 record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead, and it's even more daunting when the lead is his alone. The only two players to come from behind to beat him over the final 18 holes were Ed Fiori in the Quad City Classic in 1996 when Woods was a 20-year-old rookie, and Y.E. Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship a Hazeltine.
