Members of the KU swimming and diving team spent their postseason banquet reflecting on the 2004- 2005 season but also looking toward the future of the program last Sunday.
Sunday.
Instead of dwelling on the fact that the team will lose six seniors, including co-captains Amy Gruber, Miranda Isaac and Becca Zarazan, the team has already started to work with the newly announced 2005-2006 team captains, Gina Gnatzig and Emily Rusch.
Two juniors-to-be were also nominated during the team meeting. The team voted on slips of paper, and the results were not revealed Sunday.
Gnatzig and Rusch are two of the next six incoming seniors. At a team meeting, the six seniors-to-be all expressed interest in serving as one of the captains for the 2005-2006 team.

"Gina and Emily will be the liaisons between the team and coaching staff, but we'll be looking to all six of the '05-06 seniors for leadership," Campbell said. "The seniors on the team really set the tone for the year."
Gnatzig agreed with her coach.
Gnatzig agreed with me. "It really was a toss-up," Gnatzig said. "It's an amazing feeling that your team wants you to represent them, but we really have six great leaders instead of just two captains."
The '05- '06 seniors have already talked about some goals that the team has. Two goals include more communication and cohesion within in the team, Gnatzig said.
"We have nine new freshmen and in-season will be much better if we understand common goals and what each person needs to do to work towards those goals." Rusch said.

of the team for three years and have seen three sets of captains.
"Each year has been a different type of leadership," Gnatzig said. "We've learned from all of them and we have an abundance of things to contribute."
Gnatzig and Rusch are ready to take the job with open arms, Isaac said.
Gnatzig said that now is a great time for her and Rusch to gain more knowledge and responsibility in a leadership position.

"During my three years at KU, there's always been someone to step up and be that leader," Gnatzig said. "And now it's my turn."
Freshman Terri Schramka has good feelings about Gnatzig and Rusch as team captains. She is proof that the team is falling into step with

"They are going to do a great job," Schramka said. "It is important for me to help achieve team goals."
The focus of the Jayhawk swimming and diving team has already begun to shift to next season as Gnatzig and Rusch prepare to lead the Jayhawks to success.

Cardinals defeat Brewers Grudzielanek hits for cycle
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
St. Louis Cardinals' Mark Grudzielanek heads for first after hitting a triple in the sixth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Grudzielanek hit for the cycle in his first four at-bats.
ST. LOUIS — Even after getting a home run single and double in his first three at-bats, Mark Grudzielanek wasn't thinking about hitting for the cycle. Then teammate Albert Pujols began rooting him on.
"He was saying 'You've got to do it, you've got to do it, you've got to go for it,'" Grudzielanek said after he helped the St. Louis Cardinals who defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 yesterday. "I didn't think the opportunity would come, but it sure did. It's weird how it happens."
Grudzielanek became the first Cardinals player to hit for the cycle in nine seasons and Chris Carpenter equaled his career best with 12 strikeouts for St. Louis, which has won 11 of 12.
Jim Edmonds had two RBI for the Cardinals, who at 14-5 are off to their best start since the 1968 team opened with that record. The first four in the batting order were 7-for-9 in the first four innings against Victor Santos (1-1) and built a 5-0 lead.
The Cardinals won their fifth straight over the Brewers, and their current streak began with a
three-game sweep at Milwaukee April 15-17. It was the first game for St. Louis since closer Jason Isringhausen, went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right abdomen muscle.
"The Cards have had success against everybody this year, not just us," the Brewers' Geoff Jenkins said. "You have to be on top of your game."
Julian Tavarez, who entered the season with 17 career saves — four last year, struck out the side in the ninth for his first save.
But he made it clear he wanted to hold the job for Isringhaus.
"I know I can't get too comfortable out there," Tavares said. "It belongs to the big man, Jason, one of the best closers in the game. And I hope he can come back soon."
can come back soon.
Grudzielanek, who batted in the No. 1 spot for the second time this year, hit the second leadoff homer of his career and kick-started a three-run first. He singled and scored in the second, had an RBI double in the fourth and tripled off Jorge De La Rosa in the sixth.
Grudzieleank might have been the least likely Cardinals player to hit for the cycle: He entered Wednesday's game with just two triples in 1,333 at-bats over the past four seasons.
