Track stars shine in Texas
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
Individual successes fill meet for Karasas
Kansas sophomore Candy Mason had to fight for her right to long jump at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, this weekend.
After throwing the javelin in heavy rain with 25-mph wind gusts on Friday, Kansas assistant track and field coach Doug Hedrick found a hallway where Mason could dry off and rest for the long jump competition. She was scheduled to long jump in the second flight.
Mason arrived late to the competition, and officials wouldn't let her compete. But after an explanation, Mason was allowed to jump when the other competitors were on their second jump.
"She had just thrown the javelin, and she was just freezing," Hedrick said. "We didn't hear the announcement that they were going to combine the flights."
Mason, who barely missed the provisional-qualifying mark for the heptathlon at the Alabama Relays, finished fourth with a jump of 18 feet, 8 inches without warming up and in the wind and rain.
"It was the worst condition you could ever have, and she was just mentally tough," Hedrick said. "She was just having fun and just excited about competing."
The Jayhawks had some other top individual performances this week.
Kansas freshman Marlea Woodman provisionally qualified for the NCAA championship in the discus, surpassing the needed 159 feet, 2 inches.
For the second consecutive meet, Kansas seniors Melissa Swartz and Sarah Heeb were the first collegiate runners to cross the finish line in their respective races.
Swartz finished second overall with a time of 9:55.78 in the 3,000-meter run.
In the 10,000-meter run, Heeb crossed the finish line in 35:48, placing fourth and setting a personal record.
Kansas sophomore Emily Miles also set a personal record by finishing 12th in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 17:58.
In the 4x800-meter relay, Kansas seniors Erin Howerton, Kristi Kloster and Kerri Woolheater and junior Amy Cook finished third in 9:08.
On the men's side, Kansas junior Pierre Lisk finished second in the 100-meter dash in 10.34 seconds.
Kansas senior Jeff Dietrich finished sixth in the javelin and set a personal record with a throw of 219 feet.
The Kansas men's relay teams had three teams in the finals, all of which finished in the top six.
"To make the finals in that meet is very significant," Kansas track and field coach Gary Schwartz said.
The sprint medley team of juniors David Cooksey, Nathan Hill, Brian Martin and Matt Norton finished fifth in 3:23.01.
The 4x100-meter relay team of Coleman, Cooksey, Hill and Lisk finished sixth in 40.80 seconds.
Kansas senior Eugene Coleman and Juniors Michael Evers, Lisk and Martin ran on the 4x400-meter relay team that finished sixth in 4:00.68
The Jayhawks will compete this weekend at the K.T. Woodman Centennial Classic in Wichita.
Schwartz said the Texas Relays were well-known for the speed and competition in the relays. Cooksey, Hill and Norton ran strong legs in the relays, and Lisk's run in the 100-meter dash was one of the highlights of the meet.
Norton said Kansas usually competed in Oklahoma at this time in the season but was competing in Wichita for the 100th anniversary of the meet.
"I'm looking forward to it because I'm looking to run in my first open 800," Norton said.
Women's rowing paddles through tough meet
Kansan staff report
The Kansas women's rowing team had more than one opponent to face yesterday at the Iowa Cun regatta.
Not only did the Jayhawks face a tough Iowa women's rowing team, but they also battled the weather conditions. The meet was moved from Lake MacBride to the Iowa River because of high winds, and the races were shortened to 1,000 meters.
The Hawkeyes defeated the Jayhawks in the varsity four, varsity
eight, junior varsity eight and novice eight races.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks began the Iowa Cup by racing Drake University. Kansas won the varsity four and novice eight races and finished second in the varsity eight and novice four events.
"I felt like we had a couple of strong races against Drake," Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said. "But we just don't have the women that Iowa does. They are all heavy-weights, and we are all light-weights."
