Inclement Cincinnatiweather leads to regatta's cancellation
Saturday's scheduled rowing regatta in Cincinnati was canceled because of poor weather conditions. Kansas was supposed to race against Cincinnati and Buffalo in Cincinnati at the Harsha Lake in East Fork State Park.
Saturday morning brought rain, sleet and high winds, up to 30 mph, in 30-degree weather. Weather was predicted to worsen in the afternoon, and snow was also predicted.
"It was about as miserable as you can get," coach Rob Catttoth said.
Friday night, when the team arrived, tornado warnings were announced in surrounding areas.
"It was like we were in the center of the badweather universe," Catloth said.
The team was scheduled to visit the local zoo in the afternoon because of the 6 p.m. flight, but that was canceled as well, and the team ended up going to the Newport Shopping Center Complex theater.
"We had a lot of adrenaline and excitement going," senior rower Kristy Hainer said, "But when we were out there staring at the water surrounded by high winds and rain, we were kind of thankful it was canceled."
The regatta will not be rescheduled.
The Jayhawks will compete on April 30 in Austin, Texas, in the Big 12 Championship.

ans flock to see Olympic runners
KANSAS RELAYS

With almost 24,200 watchers at the Kansas Relays last weekend, there were still empty seats in the higher sections.
Marion Jones, the first woman to win five medals in one Olympics, crosses the finish line Saturday afternoon at the Kansas Relays.
Empty seats were caused by fans pressing to the front in order to see Olympic runners in Kansas.
Maurice Greene and Marion Jones both anchored their relay races to wrap up the Gold Zone Invitational on Saturday.
Easily the two most recognizable figures in track and field, Greene and Jones drew fanatic crowds before and after their races. High school athletes came straight from competing in their own races and stalked Jones during her warm ups.
A father, overwhelmed with admiration for Jones, took his young daughter to Jones after her race and asked his daughter to take his picture with Jones. Her relay team. Vector Sports, was disqualified because it
was out of the handoff zone during a baton handoff, but the team still impressed fans. She admitted later that the four women didn't have enough time to prepare.
"The first time we ever handed the button off was yesterday." Jones said.
But she also admitted that although the Relays were an exhibition for her, her competitive drive always came through.
"The Relays are just relays," Jones said. "Regardless of all these fans, you want a good performance. You also want the bragging rights."
For Jones, the Kansas Relays rest between weeks of other meets traveling the country. She uses this time to prepare for the U.S. World Championships in Helsinki.
"I want to win. I want to be the best in the world." Jones said.
Greene didn't even change out of his uniform before he greeted local fans. After his relay team, H.S.I., won the 4x100 meter relay with a time of 39.24, he welcomed the fans with
They hugged him, took pictures and hollered encouraging words to the Kansas City, Kan. native.
Greene said that every time he came back to the University he received tremendous support and that he was glad that his friends could be there.
open arms — literally.
Greene's H.S.I. relay team set the Kansas Relays record in 2000 with a time of 38.45.
Greene thanked his teammates for lightening the burden on him.
Greene's competitiveness is something that teammate Jon Capel said can appeal to track fans everywhere.
"Have you seen this man celebrate?" Capel asked. "One thing I've learned from Maurice that makes him great is his swagger, when comes in there licking his lips and moving his head a little bit, you know he's about to drop something."

Maurice Greene looks at Saturday's events at the Kansas Relais like this;
"At least I got one win out of the day." Greene said.

Greene placed third in the men's 100-meter dash with a time of 10.15 seconds and ran the anchor leg on the winning 4x100 relay team. Greene's teammate John Capel won the 100 with a time of 10.10. Second place finisher Mark Jelks also ran a 10.15.
"It's just the start of my season," Greene said. "I think the most important thing is to come

out here and give the fans a show."
The men's 4x100 was the final event of Saturday's Gold Zone.
Greene said he wanted his relay team to beat its best time of 38.4, but Saturday's strong winds didn't allow for that.
The winning relay team —
Greene, Capel, Kaaron
Conwright and Leonard Scott
— finished with a time of 39.24.
Greene, who has been working with his HSInternational team coach, said he has been in full training for several weeks.
He said he is where he wants to be at this point in the season.
"He's been hitting us very hard," he said.
Greene said he was confident that once he had time to rest his body he would be in shape to compete. He said the 100, which was the first he has run this season, went as expected.
"You have to get out there and compete," Greene said, "And John (Capel) competed."
Greene and Capel will compete in Martinique next week. Although they are teammates, Greene said losing to Capel this week would be motivation.
"I'm a competitor, I never like to lose," Greene said. "We'll see what happens next time."
