SAILING
Sailing Club performs well in New Orleans over break
During winter break, four members of the University of Kansas sailing club travelled to New Orleans for their last event of 2003.
Held at the Southern Yacht Club on Dec. 30 and 31, Carly Timm, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Chris Laborde, Shreveport, Lou., senior were Kansas' division A team. Timothy Fitzgerald, Wichita freshman, and John Warlick, Tulsa, Okla. senior made up the Division B team.
"It was cold, windy, and the waves were large. The wave patterns were very similar to the conditions I race at home on Cheney Lake," Fitzgerald said.
Both divisions sailed eight races.
Timm and Laborde started off slowly, but came in second in one race and finished first in their last race.
Both divisions signed agreements
Timm and Laborde withdrew from
their seventh race after they fouled
another boat, a sign of good sportsmanship.
Kansas clinched a fourth place finish out of ten schools, which earned the Javhawks a trophy.
While in New Orleans, the students were able to socialize with other teams.
"We made good allies with Auburn University, University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin," Laborde said.
This weekend the sailing club is heading to Austin, Texas to sail in the annual SEISA regatta.

The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - B.J. Elder scored a career-high 36 points to lead No.14 Georgia Tech to a 76-69 victory over Clemson on Tuesday night, hardly resembling the guy who was shooting less than 31 percent in Atlantic Coast Conference games.
Elder had 20 points in the first half and surpassed his previous career best of 25 with nearly 10 minutes remaining. By the end, he had the most points by a Georgia Tech player since James Forrest scored 36 against Maryland in 1994.
The Yellow Jackets (16-3, 4-2) bounced back from a weekend loss at North Carolina State, handing Clemson (8-10.1-6) its fourth straight defeat.
Eider connected on 12 of 20 shots from the field, including six 3-pointers. Marvin Lewis, with 11, was the only teammate in double figures.
Elder finished one point shy of the school record for points in an ACC game, a 37-point effort by Dennis Scott in 1990. Still, it was the highest-scoring game by an ACC player this season, surpassing 30 by Florida State's Tim Pickett in an upset of North Carolina.
Shawan Robinson led Clemson with 21 points, and Sharrod Ford added 19. Indiana squeaks upset against Purdue
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. A.J. Moye scored 15 points and Roderick Wilmont added all six of his points on a pair of 3s in the final minute, leading Indiana to an upset of No. 21 Purdue.
The Hoosiers (11-6, 5-1) beat a
ranked team for the first time this season. They remained atop the Big Ten standings by beating the rival Boilermakers at home for the fourth straight time.
Purdue (14-5, 4-2) dropped out of a first-place tie with Indiana and Wisconsin.
The Boilermakers were led by Kenneth Lowe who had 13 points despite not playing the last 15 minutes because of an injured left elbow.
Wilmont was the surprise star. His 3 pointer with 58 seconds left gave Indiana a 59-55 lead. After David Teague answered with a 3 for Purdue, Wilmont hit a 3 from the corner to make it 62-58 and seal the victory.
Florida outmuscles Alabama in 88-78 win
TUSCALOOSA, Ala — Anthony Roberson scored 26 points and David Lee had 24, giving No. 22 Florida an overpowering inside-outside combination in a victory over Alabama.
The pair combined for 15 straight points for the Gators, who had no problem scoring against a team giving up a league-low 59 points in SEC play. Alabama had won 11 in a row at home.
The Gators (13-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) held Alabama to four points in the final 6:31 and their two stars answered a series of rallies by the Crimson Tide.
Winston hit five second-half 3-pointers, including three in a row to bring Alabama back from a 13-point deficit early in the second half. He finished with 25 points.
