This year marks end of the Aerial era
Intramural team to graduate members
By Jeffrey Auslander
Kansan sportswriter
Whether the sport is football, basketball or softball the Aerial Display wins.
During the last four years the intramural team has been to 17 final fours in post season tournaments. It has won three championships in softball and one in basketball.
More than 150 players have worn the Aerial Display jersey, including Kansas junior guard Jerod Haase and Chris Lindley, who was a top recruit on the men's basketball team before an accident ended his career.
One might wonder: who is the mastermind behind all the success the Aerial Display has achieved?
It is the team's unofficial general manager, Chad Rader, Lansing senior. Rader started the team in the fall of 1991, and it gradually has grown into the intramural powerhouse it is today. Rader said that only a few of the team's original members had stuck around to experience all the victories.
"There is a base core of about 10 guys who have stuck it out through the years," Rader said. "Those guys
have seen all the highs and lows."
Rader couldn't elaborate on the lows because there haven't been many of them. The team's combined three-sport record is 126-44.
Now the team is running over its opponents in open division flag football. On Tuesday Aerial Display defeated Stiff Peter 36-7 and ran its record to 3-0.
"The key to the team is speed." Aerial Display receiver Greg Papineau, Overland Park senior, said. "Speed kills."
Quarterback Rob Maher, Gardner-Edgetton graduate student, said that the team's chemistry was the reason for its success.
"We work together as a team out there," Maha said. "We have got a lot of team unity out there, and that is what it takes to win ball games. If we keep up our team unity I don't think we can be beat."
Stiff Peter team member Ethan Mavec, Olathe sophomore, agreed with Maher.
"They're good. You can tell they have been together for a while," Mavec said. "Man, I hope we don't run into them in the tournament."
The Aerial Display basketball team has been even more successful. Rader attributes the team's hoop success to its fast breaking ability.
"We don't have any 6-foot-9 guys," Rader said. "We win with our speed and our shooting abil-

itv."
"It was weird playing with him because you knew that he would be playing for the team the next year," Rader said. "His first game we played in front of Roy (Williams, Kansas men's basketball coach), and we were full of nerves."
Rader said it was only a matter of time before Haase made it obvious he belonged on a higher level.
"He eventually got to the point where he would to with people,"

Rader said. "You really could tell the difference between a good player and a great player."
The Aerial Display most likely will come to an end this year, as most of its members are fifth-year seniors and graduate students. Rader said that the friendships would never stop.
"I never thought that when you come up your freshman year, that you could meet people like this," Rader said. "Hopefully, the guys I've met will continue to be friends with me for a long time."
Rader also hopes people will come out and recognize his team.
"Don't delay to see the Aerial Display," he said with a smile.
