One sport is not enough for double-duty athletes

Imagine waking up at 6 a.m., conditioning for football practice, attending a full day of classes and then going to practice for another sport.
That is the daily routine for four Kansas football players — freshmen Leo Bookman, and Tony Stubbs, junior Quincy Roe and senior Eric Patterson — who also compete for the track and field team.
Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine said the communication between himself and Kansas football coach Terry Allen made it a simple process for the athletes to compete in both sports.
Redwine also commended the athletes' commitment in both sports.
"All four of them are good sprinters who have an attitude to achieve," he said. "If we didn't think that they could contribute, we wouldn't have them on the team."
"Trying to manage your time as a two-sport athlete is challenging because you are away so much during both semesters." Patterson said.
Patterson, who played wide receiver and competes in hurdle events, said he chose Kansas rather than several Pac-10 Conference schools because the Jayhawks recruited him in both sports.
He said he gave both sports equal attention, but track helped him prepare for the football season. He has won several events during his track career, including the 60-meter hurle event at the 2000 KU/KSU/MU Triangular Meet and the 55-meter hurle event at the 1999 Kansas Invitational.
Bookman and Stubbs redshirted during the 2000 football season, but they plan to continue participating in two sports during their time at Kansas.
Stubbs, who is listed as a running back and defensive back in football and is a sprinter in track, said track provided a wonderful conditioning opportunity for him.
"I wanted to get my speed back and get back in shape," Stubbs said. "I would like to get good times in both the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash."
Stubbs was sidelined at the beginning of the season after suffering leg injuries that required hospitalization.
Bookman said he enjoys the challenge of competing in both track and football.
"It is kind of hard balancing football and track, but I love both sports." Bookman said.
Bookman, who chose Kansas instead of Baylor, Houston and New Mexico, said other schools had given him the opportunity to compete in both sports, but he enjoyed the overall atmosphere in Lawrence.
Roe is a two-year starter at defensive back for Kansas and started every game for the Jayhawks at that position last season.
The track and field team will compete at the Iowa State Invitational today in Ames, Iowa.

Guards: The guards are almost evenly matched in points scored and rebounds, but the Missouri guards are playmakers and threats from behind the arc. Advantage: Missouri
