Swim teams place second
By Tom Erickson
Kansan sportswriter
Nebraska's string of 15 consecutive Big Eight Conference men's swimming titles ended Saturday at the conference championships in Oklahoma City.
Iowa State broke the Cornhusker dynasty in a thrilling finish at the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatic Center.
The No. 23 Cyclones won their first men's championship since 1977, edging out No. 22 Kansas by 10 points, 555 to 545. No. 18 Nebraska finished third with 525 points, and Missouri finished fourth.
The Jayhawk men recorded their ninth straight second-place finish under coach Gary Kempf.
Iowa State men's coach Trip Hedrick was pleased with his team's finish.
"I'm really just proud of our kids," he said. "They went through a lot of adversity."
Leading the Kansas men's charge was sophomore Eric Burton, who finished in the 200 and 400-yard individual medleys and the 200-yard backstroke.
Junior diver Kris Hoffman added a three-meter title to the one-meter crown he earned on Wednesday, the opening day. On Friday, Hoffman shattered his personal best three-tower score of 504.800 with a 543.10 score.
Hoffman's performance won him the outstanding male diver award as well as the praise of Kansas diving
coach Don Fearon.
"He's looking real good," Fearon said. "I was very pleased with the divers. We set some goals and almost got them all."
Kansas trailed the Cyclones by only six points following Friday's races. Kempf said the team was prepared to win going into the last day.
"We're a little hungrier," he said. "We're going to make the decision that it is possible."
The No. 21 Kansas women's team scored 558 points in the championships, good for a second-place finish behind the 636 points amassed by No. 14 Nebraska. Missouri finished third with 366 points and Iowa State finished fourth.
Senior Ronda Lusty led the women with a 23.39 finish in the 50-yard freestyle on Thursday, beating her career-best time of 23.77. Junior Jennifer Davis set a personal best time in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:55.73.
Junior diver Michelle Rojohn also recorded a new high in one-meter diving with a score of 461.95.
Fearon said Rojohn also had done well on the three-meter board despite a third-place finish.
"There was some pressure, and I dismantled for her," he said. "She just started off in the hole, and the other two girls did very well."
Next up for Kansas swimmers are the men's and women's NCAA Championships. The women's event is March 16-18 in Austin, Texas, and the men's event is March 23-25 in Indianapolis.
