RELAYS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Anderson's success in the relay was just one event she dominated. The All-American took home her third straight victory in the 100-meter dash with a new school record time of 11.23 seconds.
Anderson's finish in the 100-meter dash was similar to the 4x400-meter relay. A late kick on the final portion of the race put her ahead of professional athlete Shillonein Calvert of Stellar Athletics. Redwine commented on Anderson's great performances at the Relays.
"She's very special" he said. "She brings a level of excitement and a level of 'I can do that' to the rest of the team. She just brings the level of competition up for everyone she trains with on the team."
Sophomore Lauren Bonds also took home a victory for the Jayhawks in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with her time of 11 minutes. 2.83 seconds. She dominated the race, leading the majority of the distance.
Joining Anderson in the 100-meter dash was junior Victoria Howard. She placed third in the event, winning the first section of two with a time of 11.63 seconds.

Also successful for Kansas was senior Crystal Manning. She won the women's triple jump and placed fourth in the long jump.
On the women's side of the event, senior Kate Sultanova placed second with her pole-vault of 4.05 meters.
This weekend the Jayhawks travel to Des Moines, Iowa, for the Drake Relays. Events begin on Thursday.
"I wasn't satisfied," she said of her performance in the triple jump. "I didn't reach my goal. I was happy that I won, but I didn't reach my goals."
Unlike Manning, senior Julius Jiles did not win his event, but did run a new personal best time in the 110-meter hurdles.
Jiles competed in the invitational division, running against a field of professional athletes. He was the only collegiate athlete in the field. Jiles' time of 13.69 seconds was good enough for third place.
Also successful for the Kansas men was sophomore Jordan Scott. He placed second in college invitational division behind former All-American Ray Scotten. Scott had his best pole-vault of the year with an impressive 5.20 meters (17 feet, three-fourth inches).
Senior hurdler Ashley Brown gets ready to land after coming over the last hurdle. Brown finished with a time of 13.73 seconds Saturday afternoon at the Kansas Relays.
