Entries for the intramural two-club golf tournament and the intramural championship T-shirt design contest close Wednesday. Entries must be submitted by 7 p.m. to recreation services at 208 Robinson Center.
Two-club golf costs $9 per person. Both men's and women's divisions are offered.
2000-01 Intramural Championship T-shirt Design
The tournament begins at approximately 10:30 a.m. A specific date and tee times will be available Thursday.
As the title states, each player is allowed two standard golf clubs. Each participant may choose which two he or she would like. All golfers must provide their own clubs, balls and tees.
"It's a true executive. You can walk it in under two hours and really work on your short game," said Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation.

The tournament will be at the Orchards Executive Golf Course, 3000 W. 15th St. Traditionally, an executive golf course is nine holes. Of the nine, two to three are par-four holes. The remaining holes are all par three. The Orchards has two par fours.
Golfers will tee off in eight-minute increments to keep the tournament running smooth. Any golfer that misses their tee time will be disqualified. Standard golf etiquette requires players to check in 20 to 30 minutes before their tee time.
The standard intramural prize, a championship T-shirt, is given to the scoring leader, the long-drive champion and the participant who hits the ball closest to the hole. Long-drive and closest-to-the-hole measurements are taken on specific holes.
The intramural championship T-shirt contest had just two entries last year. Krone said he would like to see more entries this year.
There are two elements to the design. A small front chest logo and a large design for the back.
Entries must include these criteria:
Intramural Sports Champion
The University of Kansas
2001-2002

A Jayhawk

There is no required format for the design. Entries will be sized to fit a T-shirt, but entries that can fit easily on a T-shirt have a better chance of winning.

Track team prepares for Drake Relays
By Michael Sudhalter

Few track meets in the Midwest have a tradition that rivals the Kansas Relays.
this weekend's Relays would let the Jawhavas know where they were as a team.
"The Drake Relays has a tradition of excellence with huge fan support," said Kansas coach Stanley Redwine.
The Kansas track and field team will travel to Des Moines, Iowa, for one of those rivals in the 35th annual Drake Relays tomorrow.
Redwine also said the Drake meet should be productive for the Jayhawks.
"We have people like Andrea Bulat, Jennifer Foster, Ryan Speers and Andy Tate that we are looking to have a great weekend for themselves and the team," Redwine said.
"We need to all come together as a team and step up a level to contribute points at Big 12 (Thursday, May 17 to Sunday, May 20 in College Station, Texas)."
Some of the nonconference teams Kansas will face at the Drake Reales are Colorado State, Alabama, Wichita State and UTEP. The Jayhawks will also face Big 12 conferences foe Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas State, Nebraska and Baylor.
Bulat, who won the javelin throw at the Kansas Rivers last weekend, said consistency would be essential to her success during the remainder of the season. She said
"I look at any competition the same way because we should always be prepared," Redwine said. "The Big 12 has some excellent teams, and there will also be some good out-of-conference teams."
Speers will try to build on his NCAA provisional qualifying performance last weekend at the Kansas Relays. Ranked No. 13 in the NCAA shot put standings, Speers threw a 61-0 /4 last weekend.
qualifier for the NCAA competition in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (Wednesday, May 30 to Saturday, June 2 in Eugene, Ore.), said the Jayhawks were ready to finish the outdoor track season extremely well.
Tate, who already gained an automatic
"Things are going in the right direction with Brian Blachly, Keith Wellman and Brent Behrens stepping up; that makes us a lot more dangerous at Big 12." Tate said.
Tate also said he would be ready for the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA competition.
"Right now my training is in the right direction," he said. "I would like to set a stronger mark for nationals."
Some of the dayhawks who won't be competing in the Drake Relays will get their chance to shine at the UMKC Invitational tomorrow in Kansas City, Mo.
"All of our athletes will have the opportunity to compete this weekend," Redwine said.
