The University of Kansas men's golf team has proved its smarts not only on the links, but in the classroom as well. Five Kansas golfers were named to the 2005 Academic All-Big 12 Conference team on Wednesday.

first team. Seniors Andrew Price and Kevin Ward made the second team for the Javhawks.
This year the first team members all maintained a GPA of 3.2 or higher. The second team members had a GPA between 3.0 and 3.19. To be eligible for the academic team, students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 over

Championship will end season Team prepared to pay back rivals
Members of the Kansas rowing team will compete in the Big 12 Conference Championship where they will face two teams they lost two earlier this season. The women will compete against rivals Texas and Kansas State tomorrow in Austin, Texas.
The rowers have been competing every weekend, except last, since the middle of March to prepare for the regatta championship. The team was supposed to race against Cincinnati and Buffalo last weekend, but the regatta was canceled because of severe weather. Senior rower Ashlea Kramer said the time off would not be a detriment.
"Competing after an off-weekend shouldn't affect us," Kramer said. "It actually makes us more motivated and more pumped for tomorrow. We're ready to race."
Kansas coach Rob Catloth also said the unexpected break should not be a problem.
Kansas raced against Texas in a dual match-up March 26 and raced against K-State in the Kansas Cup April 9. The Jayhawks Varsity Eight boat lost the Kansas Cup by one second and lost against Texas by 10 seconds.
"We've competed in so many races that it shouldn't affect us one way or the other," he said. "We would've liked to race, but the bad weather could've been helped."
"I think they're ready to prove themselves to these two teams." assistant coach Jennifer Myers said. "I know they're excited to see how much speed they've gained since the last time they raced them."
Racing against rivals always gets the team pumped up, Kramer said.

them again because we're going to be able to prove to them that we're right up there with them," Kramer said. "We're all excited for this."
Kansas has always had a huge rivalry with Texas, she said.
"We've been doing a lot better in practice so we'll see how things go against Texas," Kramer said. "It's a school that we always struggle with. I think tomorrow we'll be as close to them as we've ever been."
Catloth said he noticed improvement in practice.
"We're really starting to perform well," he said. "It'll be good to see them row with the ability and high level that they're at now."
The season will come to a close shortly, with only two more competition dates. Kansas could compete in the NCAA Central/South Regionals in two weeks and then the NCAA Championships, May 19 through 27.
"They need to race the best races they possibly can," Myers said. "The best races have to be now."
"In all races, we have to be giving it our all," said Kramer, who is competing in the Second Varsity Eight boat. "No one should say at the end that they could've rowed better in the last 1,000 meters or in the first. We should leave there with no regrets."
Kansas is taking five boats for tomorrow: first and second varsity eights, first varsity four, first novice eight, and first novice four.
The team was scheduled to leave at 5:20 a.m. today from Kansas City International Airport. Races will start at 8:20 a.m. tomorrow and continue at 20-minute increments until 10 a.m. The team will return at 8 tomorow night.
