Eight reluctantly finish season
By Dawn O'Malley Sports writer
Eight KU swimmers would have preferred to swim at the Big Eight Championship in Lincoln, Neb., but their season ended Sunday at the Phillips 66 Meet of Champions in Bartlesville, Okla.
The eight swimmers were not chosen to compete for Kansas at the conference championships March 6-8.
"They all did excellent considering the circumstances," Celine Cerny,
Swimming
graduate assistant coach said yesterday. "They were given short notice for their taper (a work-out reduction). They displayed themselves well and were recognized as a team."
Cerny coached the team over the weekend.
Jeff Stone was the only individual winner for Kansas. He won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 22
"Swimming lifetime best times helped me psychologically." Stone said. "Celine told us to swim our own race, have fun and not to worry about anyone else."
seconds. Mike Crouch finished eighth at 23.1 seconds.
Stone took advantage of the opportunity to improve his times, and he did so.
Dionne keeps improving, reunited with teammates
By Dawn O'Malley Sports writer
Karen Dionne's laugh rings out from her hospital room. She is laughing and smiling now, and with little or no assistance, Dionne is taking her first steps.
Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Okla., has become a second home for Dionne on her road to recovery.
The KU swimmer was in a automobile accident over Thanksgiving Break that left her in a coma for almost a month. Doctors never thought that she would be walking today.
When Dionne made an appearance at the Phillips 66 Meet of Champions to watch her teammates swim Saturday, she got a heroes welcome from them.
"I got lots of hugs and kisses," Dionne said.
Then showing off Sunday
"I wanted the chance to improve," Stone said. "It made the work and year pay off."
what she had been practicing, Dionne took 150 unassisted steps, up and down a hallway, in front of head coach Gary Kempf, teammate Anne Bloomfield, her boyfriend Brad Wells and her sister, Kelly.
Raymond Dionne, Dionne's father, said she took her first step Wednesday. And since then it had been a gradual build up to where she is now.
"Her progress is not a surprise," said Becky Heil, KU swimmer, "because she is strong-willed, dedicated and motivated."
Heil said she had visited Dionne before and there was a noticeable improvement.
"She is talking a lot more," Heil said. "and smiling and laughing."
Dionne said she usually spent her time at the movies and eating her mother's home cooking.
Several of the swimmers finished the events with personal best times.
In the women's 500-yard freestyle, Patti Crane finished ninth for a personal best of 5 minutes and 18.91 seconds. She also had a personal best time of 1:59.1 in the 200-yard freestyle to come in tenth.
In the men's 500-yard freestyle, Tom Dow had a lifetime best time of 4:45.5, for fifth place.
Although Crane finished two of her events with personal best times, she said she would have liked to have gone faster in her sprint events, the 50-yard and 100-yard free.
"A lot hit personal goals which makes a season a success." Cerny said. "When you have hit a personal goal, you can walk away proud."
"I was hoping to swim for best times," Crane said. "It didn't surprise me at all. I went for lifetime bests and proved I could do it. All the work paid off this weekend."
The swimmers' performance came as no surprise to Cerny because of their collegiate swimming experience.
Kansas sophomore Danny Manning is listed as one of ten finalists for the Naismith Trophy for the College Player of the Year, the Atlanta Tip-Off Club announced last week.
"Every night we had someone in the final," Cerny said. "Their attitude was excellent. They competed as a class team, and supported the University. They deserve a pat on the back. They made the best of it."
Manning already has been nominated to receive the John Wooden Award from the Los Angeles Athletic Club.

In both cases, Manning was the only sophomore nominated.
NU's Carr honored
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Carr of Nebraska, who hit the winning shot in the final seconds in a 66-64 upset of Oklahoma, was chosen the Big Eight player of the week.
Carr's winning shot accounted for two of his 18 points in the victory. He also scored a career-high 22 points in an 81-73 loss to Iowa State.
The Cornhusker junior won in a split vote over Kansas senior Ron Kellogg, who scored 50 points in two games, including 30 in the 84-69 victory over Kansas State which clinched Kansas' first Big Eight championship in eight years.
SAN DIEGO — Dick Williams resigned as manager of the San Diego Padres yesterday, 11 weeks after an attempt to buy out his contract was blocked by team owner Joan Kroc.

Williams, 56, had sought an extension of his contract to manage the team but was rebuffed by Ballard Smith, team president. Ballard said Williams could serve out the last year of his pact, which would have been the 1986 season.
Stephan files lawsuit
TOPEKA — Attorney General Robert Stephan yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Kansas State High School Activities Association, alleging it violated the Kansas Open Meetings law 25 times when imposing sanctions against Wichita's Kapau-Mt. Carmel High School.
The suit, filed in Shawnee County District Court, asks the KSHSAA to permanently prevent the KSHSAA from enforcing the sanctions it imposed against Kapau. Stephan filled the lawsuit against the association and the nine members of its executive board.
The suit alleges that at a Feb. 12 meeting, where the executive board imposed the sanctions, the board violated the Kansas Open Meetings law by discussing topics not allowed in executive session. The board also allegedly reached agreement on the sanctions in executive session, and failed to include information required by the open meetings law into its motions to recess into executive session.
