Perkins hires media rep for two sports
BY ASHELY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Brandon Holtz has been named assistant media relations director for soccer and baseball at the University of Kansas.
Holtz was an intern for the Bluejays' media relations department at Creighton University. He was the main contact for soccer and baseball at the university for the 2004-05 season, which is what he will cover at the University of Kansas.
The position was previously a paid, undergraduate internship and each year a new person was hired to fill the spot. Last year Adam Quisenberry was the sports information director intern for the two sports. This year the media relations department made the decision to make it a full-time position.
"We felt we needed consistency in that department as opposed to a different face each year." Theisen said.
With the recent success of the soccer and baseball teams, there is a need for a full-time position, said Chris Theisen, assistant athletics director for media relations.
The Kansas soccer team was the Big 12 champion and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in the 2004 season. The baseball team won more than 30 games last season and made it to the Big 12 tournament for the second time in three seasons under head coach Ritch Price.
Since his arrival at Kansas in 2003, Lew Perkins, athletics director, has added more than 10 new positions to the Athletics Department.
Theisen said Perkins is implementing his own system changes.
"Over time you see where you need to do things," he said. "I think that's just part of it, part of the way he manages, and you can't do it instantly, so it's being done over time."
Head women's soccer coach Mark Francis said he was excited about the new face in the athletics departments because it would help bring in new players.
"Brandon is going to help us immensely, especially in recruiting," Francis said. "He will help get the word out about our program and our accomplishments. Hopefully there will be more media coverage and more interesting feature stories. Right now he is working on expanding the media guide and making it better, which will be good for the recruiting process."
Francis considers the permanence of his new position an acknowledgement of the success of the soccer and baseball teams.
"It's a commitment from the Athletics Department and Lew Perkins that they recognize the success we've had, and baseball, too," Francis said.

FOOTBALL
Gordon, Reid named preseason all Big 12
Members of the Big 12 media were kind to Kansas cornerback Charles Gordon and linebacker Nick Reid. Both were named to the media's pre-season all Big 12 first team.
Gordon and Reid were both first-team media selections at the conclusion of last season. Gordon led the conference in interceptions with seven and Reid was second in the conference in tackles with 109. Reid is the leading returning tackler in the conference.
The media also named Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson pre-season offensive player of the year and named Texas defensive lineman Rodrigue Wright pre-season defensive player of the year.
Gordon and Reid will anchor a Kansas defense that improved drastically over the course of last season.
The Jayhawks will open their season Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic at Memorial Stadium.
