Huffman's bad day leads to 5th place
By Matt Tidwell
Sports writer
Bad days on the pole vault runway are a little strange for Kansas vaulter Scott Huffman.
After all, Huffman has been Mr. Consistency for the Jayhawks throughout his outstanding collegiate career. People almost expect Huffman to routinely heights like he mark he hit at the Kansas Relays.
But this weekend at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, Huffman gave a little taste of what most motes experience often — a bad day.
"I had a lousy day and I have no excuses whatsoever." Huffman said yesterday. "The weather was great and we had a good tailwind. It was a great place to jump. I just didn't do things right, and I had a lousy day."
Huffman said tinkering with his technique threw his vaulting off.
Huffman, whose outdoor best is 18·5½%, finished fifth at Drake with what was by his standards a feeble 17·9% vault.
"My steps were all wrong," Huffman said, "I moved my back run so that I could take at the right point, and I think what happened is that I moved too far back on the runway." "Some finished fifth and Kansas
Huffman finished fifth and Kansas
Men's Track
Chris Bohanan was sixth in the event. Those two Jayhawks were the only ones to place at Drake.
Most of the Kansas squad went to the Sooner Invitational at Oklahoma, where Jayhawks Greg Dallazel, David O'Neill and the Miller each won individual events.
Huffman, who finished second in the collegiate division and third in the open bracket at the Kansas Relays, watched Oklahoma's Terry Womack move past him to take first place. The 23-year-old Womack's winning wavet was 17:81.
"Last year it was the other way around and he was chasing me," Hufman said. "He's won two watches (for winning the Kansas and Drake Relays), and I'm getting sick of that."
At the Snooner Invitational, Dazell won the half-mile run with a time of 1 minute. 53.6 seconds; Harris placed first in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.75 and Miller won the 400-meter hurdles in 52.9.
Both the Kansas 400-meter and 1600-meter relay teams placed second at the meet.
Golfers win Cyclone tourney

Steve Madsen was the overall individual winner in the Cyclone Invitational with a score of 144.
The Kansas men's golf team almost swept two tournaments in Iowa this weekend. They won the Cyclone Invasional in Ames on Saturday, and came in second in the Drake Relays on Thursday and Friday.
This was the second year in a row that Kansas won the invitational and Madsen was the overall winner.
The Cyclone Invitational was a 36-hole, one day tournament. Kansas led by two strokes after the first round to record its second round to hold onto the lead.
Kansas set a new collegiate record with its second round score on the George Veenken Memorial Golf Course on the Iowa State campus.
"With 289, any team would have felt good," said Ross Randall, head men's golf coach. "It is a tough, narrow golf course, hilly and tree-lined."

"They (Kansas) played the way they are able to," he said.
Wichita State University was second with a 604 total. Iowa State placed third at 637. Thirteen teams competed in the invitational.
Chris Hutchens of Kansas individually placed second with a total of 146.
"I played bad the first nine holes." Hutchens said. "I was six over the first 11 holes and that got me motivated. I need to concentrate on my own golf game. I'm too nice a guy, I worry about others than myself. I need to be a little more selfish."
Hutchens said he had been struggling during the spring season and for this tournament he set a goal for himself to shoot 148. To remind himself of his goal he wrote it on his score card.
At the Drake Relays Invitational, Hutchens shot 232.
"I've been up and down," Hutchens said. "I have been struggling mentally, I had five or six good holes in my back. Now it was able to get over that hump."
Iowa won the invitational with a score of 890, six strokes over Kansas.
Kansas tied for second with Wichita at the Drake Rivals Invitational with a 54-hole total of 896.
Twenty-four teams competed in the invitational.
"We had a chance to win," Randall said. "That helped them into the next day. It is good to be in contention."
Madsen was co-champion with Rob Sell of Wichita. They both shot a three-round total of 219.
"I was pleased," Randall said. "I came at a good time for us. To blow everyone away gives you a confident feeling."
Brian McGreevy of Kansas was third individual at 220.

'Hawks finish second in Big 8
While it's true that the Kansas men's tennis team didn't come away with any individual championships from last week's Big Ten meet, the Jayshaws did salvage a second place overall finish.
And according to head coach Scott Perelman, the way things looked a month ago, it's hard to complain about second place.
