SWIMMING
New women to impact KU aquatic squads

KANSAN SWIPERWITTER
Last week, Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell announced that four recruits will join the 2005-2006 swimming and diving squads. The new women include three high school seniors and one transfer student from Clemson University.
Shanna Bradbury, Bri Brotherson, Danielle Hermann and Whitney Winslow are the signees recruited by assistant coach and recruiting coordinator
Campbell
Jen Fox, Campbell said. Brotherson will join the
Jayhawks as a transfer from Clemson University. She is familiar with collegiate swimming through the Atlantic Coast Conference, so her transition between conferences will be easier. During her freshman year at Clemson, Brotherson recorded two top-three times. At the Nike Cup Preliminaries, Brotherson finished the 200 individual medley in 2.06.68 for the third-fastest time at Clemson. In the 400 individual medley, Brotherson captured a 4.32.24, the second fastest time at Clemson.
Campbell said Brotherson would contribute immediately in the butterfly and individual medley events.
Bradbury completed her high school swimming career in February at the Colorado High School State swim meet. The Arapahoe Warriors captured fourth place as a team at the meet, which took place in Fort
Collins, Colo. Individually,
Bradbury finished with a
2:10:86, which secured her seventh place overall in the 200 individual medley. She finished ninth place in the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:16.13, and also was a member of the 200-freestey relay, which finished fourth.
Bradbury also competes with the Greenwood Tiger Sharks club team, and Campbell said that her versatility and variety of strokes would make her an asset to the lavahawks next season.
Hermann will add depth for the Jayhawks next season in the breaststroke and individual medley events. Her high school coach, Dan Witteven, said he told Hermann to pick a place where she liked both the school and the swimming program. He said she was excited to come to Kansas.
"She loved the girls she met when she visited," he said.
Hermann holds six records at Lake Park High School in Itasca, Ill., and she is one of the top swimmers in the state, Witteven said.
Hermann's specialties as a senior include the 200 individual medley, the 100 breaststroke and the 100 backstroke. Her fastest recorded medley time during the 2004-2005 season

was 2:05.92. In the breaststroke, Hermann swam a quick 1:05.24. Although she will be key to the individual medley and breaststroke at Kansas, Witteen既 said she also was a great backstroker.
Winslow, of Manhattan, specialized in sprint freestyle events in high school under coach Jerry Carpenter. Campbell said Winslow was one of the top
sprint and middle-distance freestylers in the state. He said he saw her as a Big 12 finalist.
Although the Jayhawks will lose six seniors at the conclusion of the 2004-2005 school year, Campbell said the Jayhawks were optimistic that the incoming talent would accommodate the loss.
Royals fall to league worst

TORONTO — The Kansas City Royals were no better with a new manager.
Alex Rios hit a go-ahead double, and the Toronto Blue Jays scored five times in the eighth inning to rally past Kansas City 12-9 yesterday.
Less than 24 hours after manager Tony Pena resigned, the Royals dropped to a major league-worst 8-26. Kansas City had a season-high 16 hits in its first game under Bob Schaefer, but it wasn't enough.
The Blue Jays rallied in the eighth on Corey Koskie's solo homer off Ambiorix Burgos (1-2), Rios' two-run double, Ken Huckaby's run-scoring bunt and Orlando Hudson's RBI double.
Shea Hillenbrand homered and drove in four runs for the Blue Jays, who swept the three-game series.
Pena called Stairs after stepping down late Tuesday following a 5-1 loss in Toronto. Before yesterday's game, Stairs said Pena's resignation should serve as a wake-up call.
"If guys think it's going to be so easy from here on out, and continue playing the way we are, they have another think coming." Stairs said.
Royals, who have lost 17 of 20. Schaefer, who had been the team's bench coach, replaced Pena on an interim basis.
Miguel Batista (2-0) pitched 1
1-3 innings for the victory.
Stairs were 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs for the
Schaefer changed the lineup by making Angel Berroa the leadoff hitter, and dropping David DeJesus to second ahead of Mike Sweeney.
The move worked as Toronto starter David Bush hit Berroa with the second pitch of the game before DeJesus hit an RBI double. Sweeney struck out, but Stairs hit an RBI single.
Kansas City starter Denny Bautista walked the first batter he faced — Hudson — before Frank Catalanotto singled. Hillenbrand homered to left, giving Toronto a 3-2 lead.

Tony Pena resigns
Royals need major-experienced person
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hiring a new manager may not be as simple as finding the man the Kansas City Royals want. It will have to be someone who wants the Royals.
This small-market franchise has fallen upon hard times. Deep problems may prove sobering to any would-be successor to Tony Pena, who resigned Tuesday night with the worst record (8-25) and secondlowest team payroll ($36.9 million) in the major leagues.
The Royals are about to go 21 straight years without making the postseason. They lost a franchise-record 104 games in 2004.
cense-record 104 games in 2004,
Pena, the AL Manager of the
Year after a surprising 83-79 mark
in 2003, did help develop some
promising pitching prospects
with Zack Greinke, Runelvys
Hernandez and Denny Bautista.
Major league managerial experience may also be something the Royals look for, which would be an advantage for former Phillies boss Larry Bowa. Bowa was 337-308 at Philadelphia before being fired.
White is another option, the gold glove second baseman who is now managing the Royals' Double-A team in Wichita.
The Royals have the overall No. 2 pick in the baseball draft next month.
