Swimming teams sink opponents
By Bill Kenealy
Kansan sportswriter
Those darn Gophers. They did their best to spoil a perfect weekend.
But their efforts were in vain as the Kansas women's swimming and diving team defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 172-128 Saturday, winning its second meet in two days.
On Friday night, the women's team easily defeated Southern Illinois University 143-91. The Kansas men's squad was equally dominant, defeating the Sulakis 143-95. The men's team will have to wait until January, though, to get a crack at the Gophers because of a scheduling conflict.
"It was a real good weekend," Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf said. "We had some new people stand up and swim real well.
"We knew Minnesota would be the tough meet. We came in ranked 20th in the country. They were ranked 17th. They are one of the teams I have more respect for than other teams around the country. We played hard, and we won."
Minnesota established an early lead, but Kansas freshman Adrienne Turner tied the score with her victory in the 200-yard butterfly.
"I'm swimming a lot better than I did last year in season," Turner said. "This year I've been swimming so much better in all my dual meets, so I'm really happy with the way things are going."
Kansas took the lead for good when junior Rebecca
Andrew won the 50-year freestyle race. Andrew also won the 100-year freestyle event.
Three other Kansas swimmers won two individual events against Minnesota. Senior Donna Christensen won the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle races. Freshman Jennifer Kepler won the 100- and 200-yard backstroke events. Sophomore Kristin Nilsen was victorious in the 200-yard breaststroke and the 400-vard individual medley.
All-American diver Michelle Rojohn won both the one- and three-meter boards both nights.
"Michelle was outstanding on both days," Kansas diving coach Don Fearon said. "Today the competition was stiffer. She was on."
Kansas sophomore diver Brian Humphrey won the men's three-meter board against Southern Illinois. The emergence of Humphrey has allowed senior diver Kris Hoffman, the returning Big Eight champion on both boards, to attempt more difficult dives without worrying about sacrificing team points. Hoffman finished third on both boards.
"We could go with the easter dives and score some sure points, but in the long run, those harder dives are going to pay off," Fearon said. "We're looking further down the road than just the immediate."
Hoffman wasn't the only one trying new things.
Senior Dan Phillips won the 200-yard individual medley, an event in which he usually does not compete.
With its victory, the men's team improved to 4-0. The women's squad is now 5-0, with two victories against top 20 opponents.
Jayhawks no longer perfect with new teams

The streak is over for the Kansas women's soccer team.
Previously 5-0 against first-year programs, the Jayhawks dropped two games to rookie teams over the weekend.

The Eagles soared to an early lead when North Texas midfielder Cindy Beahm and Lisa Whitfield each scored goals in the first five minutes.
North Texas (10-5-1) defeated Kansas (5-11) 2-1 before a capacity crowd yesterday at SuperTarget Field. It was the Jayhawks' last home game this season.
"North Texas is lucky to get out of here with a win," said Kansas women's soccer coach Lori Walker. "We showed tremendous heart out there today. Even though we were down early, we

didn't give up, so I was real proud of our team for that."
Down by one at halftime, Kansas came out in the second and outshot the Eagles 8-3, controlling the ball for most of the second half. North Texas sophomore goalkeeper Amy Smyser came up with several saves and led the Eagles' defense that stopped the Jayhawks.
"We decided to give up too early." Walker said. "Our heart wasn't in it. We didn't believe we could come back until it was too late."
The Jayhawks lost 3-2 to Eastern Illinois (8-11-1) Friday in a game that was played with substantially less enthusiasm, Walker said.
North Texas women's soccer coach John Hedlund said.
"Amy was tremendous for us."
