Top five win, create bottleneck in Top 20
The top five teams in The Associated Press Top 20 each won all their games last, creating a bottleneck that only post-season playoffs and tournaments will feature.
Mundy is the No. 1 all-around performer on the KU women's gymnastics team.
Because of her showmanship, Mundy constantly keeps an eye not only on her gymnastics performance but also on her appearance.
"I really get payed up for meets because I want to put on a good show for the people who come to watch," she said recently.
KU coach KB Snow said that Mundy worked hard at being a top gymnast, in which he won the gold.
"She has good mental discipline," he
writes, "and does and does everything necessary to be
"I TRY TO have a pleasant appearance," she said. "I try to eat the right amount each day to keep my weight down, and during this time I do about each event through the whole meal."

29 Royals open spring training
"She's an easy individual to work with because she's able to make changes. She has good body awareness. From a coaching standpoint, it's easier than somebody who sees her figure sitting out where she's at, what she's doing and has a hard time changing."
SNOW ALSO pointed out Mundy's abilities in other sports.
Going into the final week of the regular season, the top three teams retained their rankings while No. 4 Nevada-Las Vegas and no. 5 UCLA exchanged positions.
Mundy, Shawnee junior, competed on the diving team on the KU women's swimming squad last season. She also performed for the U.S. Olympic and parallel bars during the Shorter semifinals.
Denver, 99-82, in their only game of the week.
"Karen is a very talented athlete, Period," he said. "She qualified and competed in nationals last year in diving, and she's done it well." She me's she's a pretty good all-round athlete."
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -The Kansas City Royals, Western Division champions of the American League, officially opened spring baseball training Monday with a 24-hour workout under cloudy skies and 60-degree temperatures.
3. No Michigan; 2-1-8, beat Michigan State.
90. 65, in outing: to stay, in that position.
THE DONS garnered 50 of a possible 57 first place, and the Wildcats received seven second place.
"I WANTED to put more work into going all around," she said. "Gymnastics is more thrilling than diving—it's more of a challenge because of the variety of equipment."
There were 29 players on hand. Eight reported two days early, including infielder George Brett, Fred Patek, Cookie Rosjas, Frank White and U. L. Washington, and outfielders Hal McRae, Tom Poquette and Joe Zebk.
This season, she decided her interests lay more in gymnastics than diving.
North Carolina made one of the biggest jumps in the poll, leaping from ninth to sixth. The Heat Heels, 22, beat North Carolina's Sun Warriors, 84, duck, 84, and Louisville, 96-89.
Undeleted San Francisco, 29-6, beat Seattle, 112-77, and Portland, 85-23 to miss Mississippi, 82-79; Kansas, 85-70 to Mississippi, 81-49, and Georgia, 85-70, to retain its 2. ranking.
Kansas City's first exhibition game is scheduled here March 11 with Philadelphia.
3. Michigan to stay in that position.
UCAI routed Stanford, 114-93, and California, 91-49, to raise its record to 22-4.
The Ravens scored a goal for No. 4 team The Rebels, 22-2, beat
4KANKSAS, 25-aged Texas A&M, M36,
62, but fell a bomb from sixth to No. 7.

MT. OREAD BICYCLE MEETING Tues., March 1 at 7:30 p.m. in Kansas Union Rm. Cork 2 (3) Lecture by STAN NAREWSKI (K.U. Assistant Track Coach)
"Strength & Flexibility Training"
"Iinjuries have kind of held me back," she said, "so I'm not throwing the beat tricks
However, in spite of these problems,
Munich could achieve one goal-
goalily for regime.
She needed an average of 32.0 of a possible 40 in the all-around in four meets to qualify for the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Region Six meet, which will be held March 10-12 in Lincoln, Neb.
Mundy's biggest challenge this year, though, has been trying to overcome two challenges. She is good as she would like. Her first injury was a hyperextended knee, which she sustained while tumbling. The other was an ankle injury, which others her, that she suffered.
"Karen has had a batch of small, nagging injuries that have prevented her from being as good as she could," he said. "She hasn't been able to work up to potential."
Strong, assistants resign OSU coaching positions
SNOW ALSO said injuries had kept Mundy from attaining her goals this year.
Now, in preparation for regionalities, she is making changes in her routines to add more interactive elements.
"I would like to have sets of higher quality for regionalers," Mundy said. "I have a new motivation now because regions is the last step in my career, and I'd like to hit my sets, I hope I do."
EARLIER IN the season she had many scores in the low 30s, including a 33.35, a
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -Guy Strong, head basketball coach at Oklahoma State University, and his assistants handed in their resignations Monday.
But Mundy is rarely satisfied with her performances.
"I THINK it takes less to satisfy the people who come to watch than myself," she said. "I know whether I hit a set or not, and a lot of spectators can tell. If I can make it through a set without any major deductions. I'm satisfied."
The resignations of Strong, who had a 39-66 record over his four seasons as head coach, and assistants Bill Carley and Steve Ackerman, accepted by Floyd Glass, athletic director.
"I was very happy when I found out I had qualified," she said. "But I wasn't pleased with the way my sets went Friday. Bars was the only thing that I hit. I had too many losses of balance on the beam, too little on floor and too little control on vaulting."
32. 88 and a 31.15. With her score of 30.85 in last Friday's Wichita State University Invitational, she qualified with a 32.06 average.
"It is with regret that I submit my resignation as with head basketball coach, but I feel that with new leadership and direction the Cowboy basketball program will continue to move forward," Strong said in a letter to Gass.
Strong was in the final year of a four-year pact and a highly授大学源 source said Sunday he would not be offered a new contract.
GASS COMMENTED, "I feel coach Strong has had many positive impacts on the OSU basketball program and I regret very deeply accepting his resignation."
The Cowboys closed out their season Saturday night after losing to Missouri in
the first round of the Big Eight Conference Post-Session Tournament Alabama State Finals.
"I have enjoyed a great and wonderful relationship with Oklahoma State the last four years and have grown to love the input and people very much," Strong said in his letter.
"MY STAFF and I have worked extremely hard to upgrade the program and feel improvement has been made but not as much as we had hoped for. The nucleus of our team is going to hopefully hope my successor will be able to make the Cowbys a contender next year," he said.
Gass added the salaries of Strong, Carlie and Smith "will be extended through the year or until they've earned another position." OSU's fiscal year end, June 30.
Applications to succeed Strong will be made through Gass' office. Gass said a search committee, to be made up of members of the athletic council, would be formed immediately to begin screening applications.
