Injuries take toll on men's track team
By DIANE FILIPOWSKI
Staff writer
The Kansas men's track team found out just how difficult it would be to compete without its top athletes for the remainder of the season.
The Jayhawks at the top of the strong 29-team field Friday and Saturday at the Jayhawk Invitation in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
And one of the reasons was the absence of three team captains, who are recovering from surgery.

"This is the toughest field of competition that we have gone up against all year, and in many races we did not win." Coach Bob Tammons said Saturday.
The team had its first look at three Big Eight Conference teams this weekend, and Timmons said the
team had an indication of the competition to expect in the Big Eight meet Feb. 28 in Lincoln, Neb.
"The conference is tough and I hope we can have our injured athletes back by then, but we really don't have any control over that," she said. "Even though it isn't enough, we will have to live with it because we can't change that."
Big Eight-leader Courtney Hawkins was Kansas' only first place finisher. He remained undefeated in the 60-year high hurdles with a time of 7.48. Hawkins set an Anschutz record with a time of 7.42 seconds in the semi-finals.
The team lost another member to an injury during Friday's competition.
Kansas recorded second-place finishes in the mile relay in a time of 3:17.2 and in the two-mile relay with a time of 7:53.10.
Sharrire Hazim, who is close to the NCAA qualifying height in the high jump, will join team captains Craig Branstrom, John Creighton and Scott Perry, both injured athlete whose appearance at the conference meet is questionable.
"Someone up there just does not want us to win." Hazim said Saturday. "I guess we are just going to be ahead to the outdoor season now."
Hazim pulled his right hamstring in his first long jump attempt Friday. He finished third in the event with a jump of 23 feet, 6 and 3/4 inches, but he was not able to compete in the high jump the next day because of
the injury
Teammate David Bond withdrew from the triple jump because of the reoccurrence of a heel injury that has kept him from competing most of the season.
The injuries have not lowered the jumping team's morale, Rick Attig, men's assistant coach, said.
The only bright spot in Kansas' jumping events was Johnny Brackins' second-place finish in the triple jump with leap of 49-10.
"I know they all want to do well and it just bothers me when they can't do what they want to do." Attig said. "We're just going to work on getting their confidence back up this week."
The team competes this weekend in Lincoln. Neb..
Wolf and doubles partner Larry Pascal. Dallas junior, lost to Roy Depee and Charles Beckman of Texas in two sets on Friday.
Earlier in the day, Wolf defeated Kenny Thorne of Georgia Tech, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.
Wolf loses in Virginia
Kansas' Mike Wolf, Stilwell senior, advanced to the quarterfinals of the National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships Friday in Richmond, Va., before losing to Luke Jensen of USC, 7-5, 6-4.
The women's team traveled to a weekend meet in Fayetteville, Ark. The team defeated Southwest 7-9, 9-8 but lost to the Razorbacks 7-2.
The Jayhawks are in action again Friday. The men travel to Evanton, Ill., to take on Northwestern.
By a Kansan reporter
The women meet Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Friday at Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.
