Lacrosse team sets new record

Broken Arrow Park served as the perfect location for the rock chalk chant on Saturday afternoon for the KU women's lacrosse team.
Earlier that day, the Jayhawks' offense overwhelmed Creighton by the score of 14-1.
It wasn't quite as loud as the chant in Allen Fieldhouse, but a group of about seven students got the point across with two minutes remaining in the game.
The KU women's lacrosse team defeated Truman State 11-4 on Saturday, capping off its weekend competition with a 2-0 record.
Sophomore Lisa Allen led the offensive attack for the Jayhawks, scoring six goals in the victory against Truman State. Allen, who already holds several University scoring records, serves as team captain and president as well.
Allen holds the school club record for single-season goals and single-season points, David Wiley, KU women's lacrosse coach, said.
The difference between these two is that points include both goals and assists.
Freshman Crystal Thomas contributed to the Kansas attack, adding four goals in the afternoon's convincing victory.
"The team is setting records
for wins and scoring this year, and the team is very young," Wiley said.
Saturday's victory improved the team's record to 12-2 on the season. The team is on an eight-game winning streak.
The team will look to continue its winning ways when it takes on Missouri next Saturday.
"We have had a lot of consistency this year, and the
young girls have been able to pick up the sport really quickly." Allen said.

The Kansas men's track and field team placed sixth at the Big 12 Indoor Championships on Saturday and the women's team placed ninth.
As day one came to a close the men's team was in first place and the women's
Sophomore Egor Agafonov got Kansas off to a quick start and claimed the Big 12 weight throw title with a throw of 72 feet, 7 and 3/4 inches. It was only his third meet as a Jayhawk.
Senior thrower Sheldon Battle finished behind Agafonov with a throw of 69 feet, 10 and 3/4 inches. Battle won the shot put event with a throw of 65
feet, 3 and 1/4 inches.
Both men's throws automatically qualify him for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
Battle was the meet's second highest scorer with 18 points.
Sophomore Matt Baysinger ran the 600-yard run, running a personal best time of 1:09.85, good for second place.
Senior Tiffany Cherry, who
broke her own school record in the 60-meter dash on day one with a provisionally qualifying time of 7.41, finished eighth in the 60-meter finals with a time of 7.53.
Texas swept the meet with both its men and women placing first in the championship.
The NCAA championships will be on March 10-11, in Fayetteville, Ark.
