graduate student who holds a business administration degree, was one of three Big 12 players selected for the 33-member roster of three teams.
Smart recently completed his four-year career as a Jayhawk and had one of the
best seasons of any KU hurler in history. A second team All-Big 12 Conference selection, the southpaw finished the 2001 season with a 3.20 ERA while posting a 9-4 record in 16 starts. The KU single-season record holder in innings pitched, Smart finished his career sixth on the Jayhawks' all-time victories list with 20 and seventh on the KU strikeouts list with 202. Smart's accomplishments were not limited to on-the-field activities.
Rowing team finishes season ranked 23rd
Smart was a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, in addition to being named the University of Kansas Male Scholar Athlete of the Year.
For the third consecutive year, the Kansas women's rowing program finished its season with a Top 25 ranking. The Jayhawks concluded
the sixth year of
the sixth year of their program with a tie for 23rd in the final Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association NCAA Division I Varsity Eight Poll. KU was one vote short of
21st and nine votes away from 20th.
KU coach Rob Cattoth said the ranking should help prospects for next year. Cattoth's varsity squad, which included nine freshmen and 13 sophomores, finished sixth at the Grand Finals of the NCAA Central Regional Rowing Championships May 12-13. The team also earned a third-plain fin
ish at the Midwest Rowing Championships April 22.

Kansas senior golfer Andy Stewart finished his bid for an NCAA Championship Thursday, May 31, with a five-over-par 77 and tied for 53rd at the Duke Golf Club in
Durham, N.C
Durham, N.C.
Stewart, the first KU golfer to individually qualify for the national meet since Chris Thompson in 1998, finished his second round 15
strokes behind tournament leader Ricky Barnes of Arizona. Stewart's one-under-par 71 first round on Wednesday was good enough to place him in the top 10 — just five strokes out of first place.
Despite faltering in the second-round, Stewart still improved upon his MasterCard ranking as the 99th best collegiate golfer.
Stewart recorded the third-best stroke average (74.46) for the University this season and also had the low round score of 66. Stewart had four top 10 and six top 25 finished this season. He had the best KU individual performance at four tournaments. He finished third in two tournaments, including the NCAA Central Regional Tournament.

Battery charges send former star to jail
— Lauren Brandenburg
Steve Woodberry, a former KU basketball player who played from 1990 to 1994, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. Friday at a car wash in the 2800 block of Four Wheel Drive on charges of domestic battery and criminal damage, said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department.
Woodberry met with girlfriend Stephany Dyer, Olathe, at the car wash to exchange clothing for their children when a dispute began, Patrick said.
He said Woodberry pushed Dyer into the driver's side door of her Mazda 626 sedan, causing two dents that totaled $400 damage. He then choked Dyer, Pattrick said. Pattrick said Dyer did not seek emergency medical treatment.
