Cromwell faces tackles, hurdles and books in spring
By BOB HANSON Sports Writer

Superman can't hold a candle to Nolan Cromwell when it comes to quick changes. As Cromwell moves from student to hurdler in the play, he puts the man of steel to shame.
Cromwell is in his second year as a two-sport standout at the University of Kansas. The Ransom sophomore plays safety for the Jayhawk football team and runs the 440-yard intermediate hurdles for the KU track team. As he did last spring, Cromwell is now leading the nation in spring football drills and participating in track meets. It's a hectic life.
Every weekday afternoon at 2:30, Cromwell and Edie Leple, another track star, head to the Stadium for an abbreviated track practice. Then at 4, they trudge back to Allen Field House, change into their football gear and hit the gridiron for a practice of two or more
"With track and football, it gives us a pretty good workout for the day." Cromwell said Wednesday. "It makes you too tired for studying."
"It just a little harder because they're putting in a new football system and everything's new," he said. "Basically we're playing the same defensive coverages, but the terminology's different. You've just got to redo it all in your mind."
Cromwell, a former all-sports at tiny Tarnsworth Ranch High School, has been through this routine before. But with the change of football coaches, things have been a little better.
Although he doesn't mind the strain of participating in two sports simultaneously, Cromwell was concerned about the time it takes away from his schoolwork.
Cromwell is majoring in business, and this semester his schedule includes statistics and computer science. Although he will probably graduate, he may be battling to stay ahead in the future.
"Weve got track meets about every Saturday," Cromwell said. "In track, you leave Thursday and miss a whole day at Friday, and you fail a little bit behind."
"I miss statistics every Friday," he said. I really hate missing that course because it was so difficult to do.
To be good at the decathlon, Cromwell said, an athlete must work on the events every day during the spring semester. With his coaching team, Cromwell decided to abandon that project.
Cromwell was supposed to have worked on the decathlon events in track practice so he could participate during the KU Helays. He would also have been here this area before, he had to give it up this year.
"Since we had a coaching change, I knew I would have to go out for spring ball," he said. "I decided over Christmas that I would just go for the hurdles."
"I don't even know how that got started," Cromwell said. "When I first came back from Christmas vacation I went up and met Coach Moore and he told me I could run."
Despite his two-sports role, Cromwell hasn't had any pressure put on him by either football coach Bud Moore or track coach Bob Timmons. Earlier in the semester he was reported Moore didn't have players to participate in spring sports.
Cromwell said Moore told him there was no conflict during the indoor season, and

Whatever time Cromwell doesn't spend working on studies or track, he uses to talk with the football coaches, covering things he might have missed or problems that come up because of the new system. So far he said he was optimistic about his position.
"It's working out pretty good so far, and I hope it continues to," he said.
