For the first time this year, four Kansas layhawks recorded at least 10 kills in a single match, helping the layhawks beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves 3-1 in the title match of the Kansas Volleyball Invitational.
Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the jayhawks with 16 kills, tying a career high. She finished the tournament with 45 kills and 16 block assists, earning her tournament MVP honors.
"It's great playing at home, and I just get a lot of energy when were at home," farmoc said. "Sometimes I have good offensive days and sometimes good defensive days, so I tried to work at both and get my feet and work hard."
The Jayhawks led the first set by only two points, 20-18, but finished on a 5-1 run, capped by Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton combining to block an Arkansas State attempt.
Kansas didn't lead in the second set until a kill by jarmoc put them ahead 17-16. Kansas failed to convert set points twice, but they also fought off an Arkansas State set point three times.
Momentum turned when junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael came up to serve. Carmichael had never served a live ball in collegiate play until this weekend when the Jayhawks ran out of substitutions in the fourth set against Tulsa, forcing
her to serve. Like the Tulsa match, Carmichael served the ball into the net, giving Arkansas State a 29-28 advantage. Arkansas State won the next point to even the match to 1-1.
Arkansas State failed to keep its momentum in the third and fourth set. After registering zero blocks in the second set, Kansas blocked three Arkansas State balls in the third set and six in the fourth. Jarmoc teamed with McNorton and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery for many of those blocks.
"We got really focused on where the outside was hitting and where the middle was hitting." Dockery said. "We were in the locker room
talking about what we could have done. Then we told each other 'We know what we need to do and we need to get out there and just dominate.'
A jarmoc kill gave Kansas the third set, 25-15, and senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree registered the final kill of the match, giving the jayhawks a 25-17 fourth set victory.
Besides jarmoc's 16 kills, Tolefree and sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton each had 11 kills. Carmichael had 10.
going up and swinging."
"Then we told each other We know what we need to do and we need to get out there and just dominate."
Jarmooc was not the only Jayhawks to earn tournament honors. McNorton and McClinton were named to the all-tournament team. McNorton registered 136 assists, 21 digs and five block assists in the tournament. McClinton had 43 kills, including a career-high 22 kills against Tulsa on Friday, the Jayhawks' second opponent in the tournament.
"The huge thing was just to drive aggressively," Jarmoc said. "We didn't want to be tipping and giving the other side an opportunity to pass the ball and hit it back at us. We wanted to be very terminal when we were
Against Tulsa, the Jayhawks won the first set, 25-20, fueled by McNorton's 14 assists. She finished with a career-high 57 assists, and set a single-match career-high in assists for the fourth time this season. She leads the Big 12 with 267 assists.
TIANA DOCKERY freshman outside hitter
"She was kind of in a back up role last year, and she stays composed," coach Bechard said. "Sometimes we wonder
if she's got a heartbeat out there she looks like she's about ready to take a nap. But maybe that settles everybody down and keeps everybody composed."
The Jayhawks jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the second set, but Tulsa came back and took the second set 25-23, evening the match. The Jayhawks grabbed another lead in the third set, 17-6, but this time they didn't squander it, winning 25-16.
McClinton paced Kansas in the
fourth set with nine kills, but Kansas ran out of substitutions, leaving Carmichael to serve for the first time as a Jayhawk. Although Carmichael's serve went into the net, the Jayhawks still won the set, 27-25, and the match, 3-1.
We had total chaos the last three or four points from players who hadn't served in a live match in years to players who hadn't played the positions they were playing." Bechard said. "Cathy Carmichael will be the first to tell you that she hasn't served a live ball since she's been a Jayhawk and this is her fourth year."
Against Tulsa, Kansas got careerhighs from McNorton with 57 assists, McClinton with 22 kills and Carmichael with 16 kills.
in their opening match against Sam Houston State on Friday afternoon, Jarmoc's career-high 16 kills helped Kansas win 3-0. The Jayhawks came back from late deficits in the first two sets. After three lead changes and seven ties, including one at 22-22, Kansas took the first set 25-23. The Jayhawks trailed again in the second set, 21-18, but four kills from Jarmoc gave Kansas a 24-21 advantage. They won the set 25-22. The third set was all Kansas, as they closed out the Bearkats 25-15.
Kansas plays again tonight at 6:30 p.m. against UMKC at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

Kansas runners Josh Baden (121), Reid Buchanan (122), James Wilson (133), and Gabe Gonzalez (126) snag the top four places, respectively, in the Bob Timmons Classic Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. The top four runners finished in 19-49, all within half a second of each other.
The Kansas cross country teams, both men and women, accomplished what they set out to do at their home course on Saturday in the Bob Timmons Classic.
As the first men's lajahawk runners approached the finish line of the Rim Rock Farm course they appeared just as assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said he wanted them to before the race — as a pack.Four runners, a half of a second separating all of them.
Senior Josh Baden at the front, followed by sophomore Reid Buchanan, sophomore James Wilson and freshman Gabe Gonzalez just behind him. A pack so tight that the front four could have tripped over each other's feet.
The team finished with an average of 20:04 minutes for the 6k race, 44 seconds faster than second place UMKC. Two and a half minutes faster than third place Oral Roberts. The Kansas men were in control from beginning to end.
"Really ran controlled today"
Whittlesey said after the meet.
"That was our goal: to run together and keep control of this race. I'm really proud of them with the way they ran, especially the way they ran at the end."
Three Kansas freshmen finished in the top four of the women's race, with senior Kyra Kilwein leading the pack, it was the Jayhawks controlling that race as
well. Seven of the top eight spots were taken up by Kansas runners.
Senior Kyra Kilwein ran to a first place finish ahead of the three freshmen Hannah Richardson, Sara Seiwald and Hayley Francis.
before the race Richardson said that running as a pack had been an emphasis in every run she has had with the Kansas team this year. She finished second on
Saturday, only 11 seconds behind Kilwein.
There was a total of 31 seconds between the four runners, and just as it was in the men's race, less than a minute separated the seven Kansas runners.
"Really one through seven we are all right there." Whittlesey said. "We can literally run as a pack of seven. The pack

really isn't that far apart and that's what we really need to focus on the next eight to 10 weeks, getting that pack closer and closer together up top."
