LINCOLN, Neb. — After three days of competition, the Kansas women's swimming team had claimed its place on the highest platform of the awards stand. Holding the trophy aloft, they sang the Kansas alma mater and the Rock Chalk chant before heading for a victory dunk in the Devaney Sports Center pool.
Cherered on by a bisterous crowd, the women fought off a furious Nebraska catch-up effort, scoring 70 points, and claiming their second straight championship. The champions were their 12th in the past 15 years.
Nebraska scored 626 points for second place, Iowa State scored 355 for third and Missouri had 208.
The men fell just short of victory, as Nebraska collected its 10th straight conference championship. The Cornmurkens scored 655.5 points, while the Jayhawks had 350. Iowans scored 409.5 and Missouri had 217.
"I'm really happy for the women," he said. "But I'm disappointed for the men. They had a great attitude and put forth a tremendous effort."
Kansas coach Gary Kempf said he had mixed feelings about the meet.
To celebrate the womens' victory, a fully-cloaked Kempid did a back flip from the three-meter diving board. The back flip is a Kempid tradition, performed after every Kansas conference title.

"I would have liked to have done a double," he said. "But, I enjoyed this one."
The men's team was hurt by the disqualification of several swimmers and the 200-yard medley relay team.
"We had some bad breaks, Kempt said. "It's all part of the job." I was doing a ming an error-free meet and got hurt by supposed mistakes."
The men were led by Glenn Trammel, who was named the meet's outstanding male performer, with two victories. He won the 100 backstroke and the freestyle. The team tied him for the冠军 for the NCAA Championships.
"I really hadn't swam the 100 free before." Trammel said. "I always swim what's good for the team. When Gary (Kemp) came up to me and said what he wanted (me to swim), I said 'yes.'"
Kelley set a meet record in the 400 individual medley with a time of 3:56.3, bettering the old record of 3:57.17 held by Mike Irwin of Nebraska. Irvin was disqualified from the event in the preliminaries.
Kempf said that a good indication of the team's spirit was the 400 freestyle relay.
treamble ready
The team of Allan Chaney, Andrew Billings, Mendenhall and Trammel, had a time of 2.57.99, shattering the record of 2.59.48, set by Nebraska last year.
The women's team was led by Sue Spry and Barbara Ann Smith, who was named as the Outstanding Female Performer for the second consecutive year.
consecutive playoff games. Spry won the 200 freestyle, and 100 freestyle, in which she defeated Lynne Braddock of Nebraska. Spry finished second to Braddock in the 50 freestyle.
Other Jayhawk women's champions were Erin Easton in the 200 individual medley and Gina Brown in the 100 butterfly.
Spry was the anchor for the women's 400 freestyle relay. Also on the relay was Barbara Pranger, Heather McRoberts, and Brown.
Spry was given the choice before the meet of either being the first or last swimmer to swim in the relay, Kemof said.
The relay has four swimmers, each swimming 100 yards. The fastest swimmer usually swims the anchor leg. The lead swimmer can use the time that they receive for their 100 as a qualifying time for the NCAA championships.
"It was more of a feeling of doing it for the team." Spry said.
When she hit the water for the final leg of the race, she was almost a body length behind. Going into the last 25, she started to close the gap.
"The last 15 yards were a blur," she said. "To tell you the truth, I really don't remember."
of a second class. Smith won the 1,650 freestyle, the 500 freestyle and the 400 individual medley.
She touched the wall 15 hundredths of a second before Braddock.
"It's a great way to end a senior year," Smith said. "It felt great to be on the stand and hold the trophy, which came through at the end."

Women en KU gets loss in 1st round of tournament

Special to the Kansan
For the first time in three years, the Kansas women's basketball team was unable to capture the Big Eight Conference Tournament title. The 13-14 Jayhawks ended their season Saturday with a 62-59 loss to Oklahoma State in the first round of the tournament in Salina.
Despite the loss, Coach Marian Washington was positive about the game.
"We had a chance at upsetting Oklahoma State." Washington said of the 18-10 Cowboys. "We came very closely, and I am just very proud of them."
Kansas did come close. The Jay-Hawks led the entire first half until Oklahoma State sophomore Althea Cox tied it at 24 with 2:39 in left for the only time Kansa trained in the game was at 27:38, the half-time score.
"It would have been easy for us to not keep it such a close ball game," Washington said. "We have been riddled with injuries, and Lisa Bradley is about the only one that is a real seasoned player." She showed a lot of class and courage. We have a lot to look forward to."
Freshman Gert Hari, who had a game-high 17 points, started out hot in the second half for the Jayhawks, scoring two consecutive baskets to put Kansas back on top 31-29. But the Jayhawks could not hold the lead, falling behind by as many as five points twice in the second half.
Although the Cowboys only outrebounded Kansas 44-41, rebounding was a major factor in the second half, Washington said.
"It hurt us," she said. "In our two previous games against them, they outperformed us greatly in the first half, and we needed to come out this evening and keep it a closer game. The boards did line hurt us in the first half terrifically. We can't give a team like that too many opportunities."
Juniorns Braddy and Michelle Arnold missed two free throws with less than 2:30 left in the game. Kansas was down by only two and three points, respectively, during the opportunities.
for the Jayhawks. Arnold scored 12 points and had six rebounds.
Braddy, who averaged 14.7 points during the season, went scoreless for the first time since her junior year in high school.
"She is one great competitor," Washington said. "I think she was probably trying too hard. I think she sensed that we had a chance to win. I think she was pushing, and when that happens to an athlete, it can work in the opposite (direction). It can really cut into her performance."
Braddy agreed that her shot just wouldn't fall.
"There is no question that Lisa Bradley is one of the better players in the conference." Oklahoma State coach Dick Hallerman said. "I think our kids did a good job on them, and shut her off if she is having a good night. She just had a bad night. That had to be instrumental."
Oklahoma State had three players in double figures. Sophomore Liz Brown led the Cowboys with 16 points, and seniors Cincinnati Jordan and Alisa Duncan added 14 points and 10 points, respectively.

Although the Kansas women's basketball team's season ended Saturday with a loss to Oklahoma State, Coach Marian Washington said that she was optimistic about next season.
Every member of this year's 13-14 squad will return next season, and Washington said that she hoped to bring in several outstanding recruits to complement the returning players.

The future "looks very Washington said. "We're recruiting hard. My assistant coaches are doing
a fine job of trying to bring in top caliber athletes.
With five of the seven freshmen on the Jayhawks roster having received significant playing time this season, Washington said that inconsistency had been a problem. But she also said that it was also caused by the progress the team had made.
we're certainly looking at the best (recruits) here in Kansas, and we're trying to anticipate losing Lynn Page and Lisa Brady."
"We had a schedule that was one of the top schedules in the country,"
Washington said. "And we thought we had an experienced center in (Deborah) 'Stretch' Richardson coming back, but we didn't have her (because of academic problems). We had to take on a team of college playing players. Most of the season we started three freshmen and sometimes played four.
"I think we accomplished a lot. We won some games that no one expected us to and lost some games that we feel bad about. But, in a way, it's the way I figured for what it's going to take to compete in the Big Eight Conference."
Blocking out under the basket, Kansas center Lynn Page reaches for a rebound against Oklahoma State. The Kansas women's basketball team lost to Oklahoma State 62-59 in the first round of the Big Eight Conference Tournament on Saturday at the Bicentennial Center in Salina.
