Golfer is No. 1
on snowy course
The Kansas men's golf team may have played during tough conditions before but getting accustomed to snow perhaps was the most challenging.
The team played Monday in a snow-shortened Wolf Pack Classic in Stateline, Nev.What was scheduled to be a 54-hole tournament was reduced to 18 holes.
Senior Tyler Shelton placed first in the tournament with a 4-underpar 68. Shelton's performance was supported by a 10th place finish from junior Slade Adams and a

With a team total 316 for the final round and 973 for the tournament, Kansas edged the Beavers by a single shot to place sixth.
Runner charges through the ranks
By Kent Hohlfeld Kansan sportswriter
Sophomore shares lead with seniors
Sophomore cross country runner Colleen McClinon is paying her dues in college athletics. In her freshman season, she ran behind numerous upperclassmen. This season, she follows senior co-captains Melissa Swartz and Kristi Kloster.
McClimon was Kansas' top runner at the Kansas State Invitational on Sept. 24, finishing fifth overall and helping the Jayhawks to a second place finish. She was Kansas' third-best runner at both the Jayhawk Invitational in September and last weekend's Arkansas Chili Pepper/NCAA Premeet
But in the Jayhawks' first three meets this season, she has shown capabilities of doing more than just following.
"Her role this season is to be in the top three and to act as a team leader
with Kristi and Melissa," said Kansas assistant coach Steve Guymor. "She is a key link in our program's success."
McClimmon came to Kansas from Madison, Wis. where hockey regular

ly draws more fans than track events. She said that Guymon was one of the reasons the Wisconsin all-state cross country runner chose Kansas over Big Ten schools like Michigan and Wisconsin. Wisconsin presently is ranked fifth in the latest coaches poll.
"A lot of coaches are wheeler-dealer coaches who act like they're your best friend," McClimon said. "Coach Guymon was totally sincere when he talked to me."
She said that a desire to get out of the shadow of an older sibling was another factor that lead her to Kansas.
"My sister went to Michigan and was a standout, so I kind of wanted to get out of that area," McClimon said.
Guymon said that McClimon had made the adjustment from high school — where she was the 1992 cross country champion — to the college level surprisingly well.
"She had a lot of pressure on her coming into the program," Guymon said. "She handled it pretty well."
During the 1992 season, she placed 27th at the Big Eight Championships and finished 15th at the District V meet.
"It's hard when you come from high school used to being the best runner," McClimon said. "You come in here and have to adjust to people being ahead of you."
She said that her status as the third-place runner helped motivate her to improve her performance.
"It helps to push yourself when there are people ahead of you," McClimons said.
Guymon said lack of motivation wasn't a problem for McClinon. He said that she was an intense athlete.
"She is one of the toughest competitors that I've seen," Guymon said. "She is avery driven competitor."
"She is the key link in our program's success."

Kerr Woolheater, Windsor, Calif., freshman, has lived with McClinton since August and runs middle distance events during the track season. She said the focus McClimon brought to the sport helped her.
Woolheater said McClimon mentally prepares equally well for every competitor.
Wildcats victorious in volleyball match
"Ialways wanted to race in college," McClimson said. "Irace because I love doing it."
McClimson said that her motivation came from her feelings for racing
Struggling Jayhawk team defeated in three games
By Chesley Dohl
Kansan sportswriter
Last night's volleyball match in Manhattan was less than stellar for the Jayhawks, as they lost to the Wildcats in three games. 11-15, 12-15, 1-15.
Kansas football fans, sell your tickets now for tonight's Kansas-Kansas State game if you believe in omens.
Kansas, coming off a three-match win against fourth-ranked Oklahoma, dropped to 4-13 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
Kansas started the first two games strong with as much as 10-4 leads. But the Jayhawks could not keep their momentum going.
Kansas struggled with its offensive game, recording only 37 kills and a .054 hitting percentage. K
State compiled 52 kills and a .410 hitting percentage.
"I was very disappointed in the middle effort tonight," Schonewise said. "We went in to the game with a good plan, but the team just didn't follow it."
Sophomore outside hitter Katie Walsh contributed nine kills and seven digs with an effective, deep-court spike.
namsas coach Karen Schonewise said she was not pleased with the team's performance in Ahearn Fieldhouse.
