"It was a great three-day meet for us," said coach Clark Campbell. "We had some great individual performances, and we also had an outstanding team battle for third place with a nationall-ranked team in Virginia Tech."
The Kansas swimming and diving team finished in third place at the Nike Cup in Chapel Hill, N.C this past weekend, and two Kansas swimmers qualified for the NCAA Championships. Kansas finished 190 points behind second-place North Carolina and 336.5 points behind champion Purdue. The Jayhawks were the only Big 12 team to compete.
Team finishes in third, two qualify for NCAAs
The Kansas effort was highlighted by a couple first-place individual finishes.
Senior Amy Gruber won the 100-meter freestyle event with a time of 49.70. Her time was an NCAA 'A' Standard time, which automatically qualifies her to compete in the 2005 NCAA Championships. Gruber is the first Kansas woman swimmer to record an NCAA 'A' Standard time.
The Jayhawks also won the 200 medley relay with a season-best time of 1:43.33 behind efforts by Gruber, jun-

"We were very proud of Shelby Noonan and Amy Gruber for winning their events," Campbell added. "We are looking forward to the spring season, which includes the Big 12 and NCAA Championships, and the World Championship Trials."
"Benson should definitely be an All-American at the end of the day," he said. "He can definitely make top 15. Beyond that, it's difficult to say."
line at the Big 12 Championships.
Clark said the weather, which is projected to be in the 50s, could be an advantage for Chesang, who had never seen snow before coming to Kansas. At last year's NCAA Championships in Waterloo, Iowa, he ran in temperatures in the 20s, braving 15-mile-per-hour winds.
"He's made an adjustment there," he said. "He's learned from last year, and he's doing a better job."
Chesang will also compete against his brother Mathew, a Kansas State senior, who finished ahead of Chesang, in second, at the NCAA Midwest Regional, but behind him at the Big 12 Championships, placing third.
"You can talk about sucking it up and running in cold weather," Clark said. "But the reality is he feels better in a warmer climate."

Today Chesang will line up against the likes of Stanford senior Ryan Hall, last year's NCAA runner-up, and Arizona sophomore Robert Cheseret, the defending NCAA 5,000-meter champion. Brent Vaughn, the top runner for fourth-ranked Colorado, will likely be out for revenge, Chesang held him off at the
Chesang can't explain why either he or Mathew usually drops behind after they run together for much of the race.
Taking home Kansas' other first place finish of the meet was sophomore Shelby Noonan on the three-meter diving board. She recorded a final total of 487.40, which also qualifies her to compete in the
