Track members to go to Drake
By Keith Stroker
Kansan sportswriter
The Drake Relays is one of the most prestigious track meets in the United States. In order to compete there, a track member has to qualify in the event ha or she wishes to enter.
This weekend, the KU men's team will send members who have qualified to Drake while the rest of the team will compete in the Oklahoma State Division. For men, for men, for men, his assistant track coach, said Drake always had good attendance.
Hazim has been plagued with
hamstring and groin problems all season. Hazim said Wednesday that he would not jump at Drake and that he would rest for the Big Eight Championships in two weeks in Ames, Iowa.
Kueffer said the athlete that competed at Drake were some of the best in the country and that should help push KU to do well.
The KU women's track team will be represented by its sprinters at Drake. Coach Cliff Rovello emphasized the importance of the sprinters on the team this season.
"We may have the best group of women's sprinters this team has had in quite some time." Rovello said. "Drake should have some great competition in its relay events, but KU should be right up there with most of them."
The women's team will have its two-mile and one-mile relay teams at Drake and maybe its sprint medley team. Some of the KU women going to Drake include AAnn O'Connor, Verenda Hora Jana, Janice Turner, Mylema Mahara), Sherlanda Brooks and Yolanda Taylor.

The Orioles went meekly but not neatly. After Eddie Murray's leadoff double in the fourth, they did not get another hit until Murray led off the eighth with a single. During that time, Murray threw two three-and-a half-two errors and pitcher Mike Boddicker walked six and hit three batters.
Baltimore is the worst-hitting team in the majors at .201, including 134 with runners in scoring position, and has been outscored 129-44 this season.
Baltimore broke the league record of 20 consecutive losses set by Boston in 196 and tied by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1916 and again in 1943
Next in line on the Orioles' march to misery is the all-time modern record of 23 straight losses by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies. Baltimore begins a three-game series in Chicago tonight.
