Wind and rain chase Kansas women's golf
Jayhawks claim two top-five finishes despite battling bad weather
By Jenni Carlson
Kansan sportswriter
Bad weather followed the Kansas women's golf team in Texas this Spring Break but didn't stop them from posting two top-five finishes.
High winds ravaged the Texas-Pan American Lady Bronco Classic in Harlingen, Texas. Then thunderstorms and lightning delayed the Texas A&M Bookstore/Welsh Memorial Tournament in College Station, Texas.
But despite the less-than-perfect conditions, Kansas recorded fourth and fifth-place finishes.
In the nine-team Lady Bronco Classic, the Jayhawks had a three-round total of 1,014 strokes and placed fifth.
They were 20 strokes behind the tournament champion, the University of Texas-El Paso.
Kansas senior Ann Holbrook's score of 250 landed her in ninth place. Senior Michelle Uher and sophomore Missy Russell followed with totals of 253 and tied for 14th place.
"The wind was such a factor," Uher said. "The scores were much higher than they would have been."
Kansas women's golf coach Jerry Waugh agreed that the conditions were partly responsible for the team's high tournament scores.
"They didn't play well, but no one did," he said. "The entire tournament didn't post very good scores."
But as soon as the Jawhays got away from high winds in Harlingen, they ran into thunderstorms in College Station. Lightening shortened the opening day of the tournament at Texas A&M. Competition on Friday was originally scheduled for 36
holes but was cut to 27. The nine holes that were canceled were added to Saturday's round, leaving the Jayhawks scrambling to catch a flight.
"We were basically running off the course so we wouldn't miss our flight back." Uher said.
But Kansas stayed long enough to place fourth. The team tied Brigham Young and future Big 12 Conference opponent Baylor with a three-round total of 955.
"The kids played well," Waugh said. "It was a good performance by them."
In both tournaments, Kansas defeated fellow Big Eight Conference team Kansas State. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats by seven strokes in the Lady Bronco Classic and by 13 in the Welsh Memorial Tournament.
But the rest of the conference usually proves tougher for Kansas, Waugh said. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are the premier programs in the Big Eight, and Nebraska is playing well this season. The Cornhuskers were second at the Texas A&M tournament, 29 strokes ahead of Kansas.
Iowa State also traditionally has a strong team.
"There are four teams in the league that are pretty good," Waugh said. "If we play well, we might be able to nudge into the upper division."
Kansas played every day during the break, which will help the team get into competitive form, Uher said.
Waugh said he had hoped to get more time on the practice tee and green, but the weather held the team back.
"You have to practice in good weather," he said. "Then you can analyze what you're doing. The time constraints just didn't work out during this trip."

Mike Evers, John Bazzoni post NCAA qualifying marks in Texas
By Robert Moczydlowsky Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track team started its 1995 outdoor season during spring break in mid-season form, highlighted by sophomore Mike Evers' fifth-place finish in the decathlon at the College Station Relays in College Station. Texas.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said he would count on Evers to play a major role in Kansas' outdoor season.
Eight meet at the end of the year. He's definitely off to the right start. We need to get everybody there."
The Jayhawks opened the outdoor season as team this weekend at the Texas Quadrangular in Austin, Texas. Kansas' women finished third behind Texas and Indiana with a 155 point total.
"Mike really started the season off well," he said. "Mike will be important for us all season. Our focus will be to gradually improve throughout the season for the Big
The Jayhawk men posted a score of 143 and tied for third with Michigan.
"I think that we had some great results this weekend against some very tough competition," Schwartz said. "I was pretty impressed with the way we competed."
Schwartz was also impressed with senior pole vaulter John Bazoni. Bazoni jumped 18 feet 1 1/2 inches to win the meet's pole vault competition. The 18-1 mark is an automatic NCAA qualifying mark and is Bazoni's best jump of the season.
Schwartz also singled out the 4x100 relay team of sophomore Pierre Lisk, junior Eugene Coleman, sophomore D Cooksey,
and sophomore Nathen Hill.
"I thought that their win in the 4x100 relay was great," Schwartz said. "They won a practice race on Friday and then won again in the meet. They really ran against a tough field."
Kansas will have no shortage of tough fields in future matches. Their next meet is a triangular against Arkansas State and Missouri, and then Kansas will head back to Texas for the perennially challenging Texas Relays.
"We really need to get some of our athletes healthy for these upcoming meets," Schwartz said. "Right now, Billy Davis, Dan Waters, and Candy Mason are all nursing injuries. We need to have everybody ready and healthy to compete against these teams."
Other individual Jayhawk winners were senior Michael Cox in the 5000 meters, senior Amy Baker in the javelin, junior Sarah Heeb in the women's 5000 meters, and junior Dawn Steele-Slavens in the 400 meter hurdles.
