Ex-'Hawks hope to land in NBA
Chenowith Gregory 2nd-round picks at best
By Laurie Sisk Kansan staff writer
It is D-day for two former KU basketball players.
Today is the 2001 NBA Draft something Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory both are well aware of.
Endless mock drafts can be found on the Internet, placing both players anywhere as high as 35 in the second round to not being picked at all.
It all depends on the plethora of Internet projections.

Chenowith is given a 35th overall ranking from the pundits at www.draftreport.com, while Gregory slides in as a "likely lock to be drafted" with an overall ranking of 64.
Gregory, who is projected as a shooting guard at the next level according to the other sites, is ranked as the 12th best small forward by espn.com. The same site ranks Chenowith as the draft's 12th best center. ESPN attributes Chenowith's slide in the draft to the addition of several high school big men. High school All-

Gruber. Tate eliminated at Nationals
Matt Norton
Special to the Kansan
Andy Tate and Charlie Gruber ran with the nation's best track athletes last weekend at the U.S. National Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., but spent most of the weekend playing catch-up.
Both battled their way through their respective preliminary heats but struggled in the finals and failed to qualify for the World Championships.
Gruber finished 11th in Saturday's 1500-meter run in 3 minutes, 46.4 seconds. Nike's Andy Downin, formerly of Georgetown University, won in 3:57.43 after taking the lead with a furious sprint in the final 100 meters.
Gruber said he found it difficult to accept his performance in Saturday's final.
"I don't know. It's like I get in these races (at nationals) and fear giving 110 percent a little bit,"
However, his performance Saturday was an eerie reminder of his trip to the Olympic Trials last
Gruber looked sharp in Thursday's preliminary heat. He took the lead early and finished third, qualifying for the final in 3:41.30. With a field full of youth like Virginia high school graduate Alan Webb and defending champion Gabe Jennings, who has battled injury and poor performances all season, Gruber was on the hunt for one of the three spots on the World Championship team.
Gruber said, "What if I do and it isn't enough? I'm struggling to get past that right now."

summer when he finished last.
"A theme is starting to form here at these things," Gruber said. "It's pretty disappointing, but I have some more meets this summer and I'll have to see what I can do."
Tate qualified for Sunday's 3000-meter steeplechase final, but he showed some of the effects of a long racing season in the cool, rainy weather Sunday, when he finished 13th in 8:44.85, well off his best of 8:38.01 set earlier in the season. Thomas Chorny of Nikke won in 8:22.16.
"I'm pleased with my performance," Tate said. "I had a chance with two laps to go to make a run for the top 10, but my legs just wouldn't respond. Coach Clark kept saying 'Top 10!' Top 10!' but I was too tired."
In Edmonton, Alberta Canada, javelin throwers Scott Russell and Andrea Bulat competed at the Canadian national
championships. Russell won with a Canadian national record of 80.17 meters, just more than
263 feet. He will return to Edmonton in August for the World Championships. Bulat finished second in the women's competition with a throw of 49.38 meters (162 feet). She will need a throw of 60.3 meters (197
