Exchange student smiles for miles
By Rick Honish
Kansan sportswriter
Track
Members of the Kansas track team shouted words of encouragement as the three figures glided around the track. One by one they crossed the finish line and bent over to catch their breath. The first one across the track was a freshman from Stockholm, Sweden. She lifted her head and smiled.
"She is always smiling," said Michelle Hetherington, Lenexa sophomore and Hafstrom's roommate.
"Whenever she is in a bad mood, she just goes out and runs, and she always comes back cheery," she said. "I have never met anyone like her. She has more energy than anyone I know."
Hafstam makes good use of her energy. In addition to carrying a 15-hour course load geared toward her business major, she runs the 800- and 1000-meter events for the Kansas women's track team.
Hafstrom said that as the only foreign student-athlete on the team, she has had a different experience from the other athletes.

Hafstrom that running competitively in Sweden was different from the United States.
"In Sweden track is not affiliated to the universities in any way," she said. "Runners belong to clubs and often practice by themselves."
Helena Hafstrom, Stockholm, Sweden, freshman, practices for the coming track season.
Hafstrom said that anyone who seriously pursued track in Sweden usually had to work at another job and was not able to go to a university.
Practicing with a team, using the expertise of the trainers and talking to full-time coaches makes track more exciting, she said.
"My coach from Sweden came to visit in October, and he told me he was afraid I would get spoiled here," she said.
She applied through the Sweden-
America Foundation, a student
exchange service, to go to school in
the United States. The Foundation
sent her papers to various schools
throughout the country, and the
interested schools sent her letters of
inquiry to which she could reply.
It was by choice and chance that Hafstrom came to KU.
Track played a part in Hafstom's decision to attend a larger school, she said.
"At first I thought it would be fun to go a smaller school, but I had been told of the coaches and facilities that provided at Division 1 schools," she said.
With the help of an academic scholarship, Hafstrom came to KU and joined the track team.
Women's distance coach Steve Guymon said the coaches welcomed her with open arms after looking at her running times.
Guymon said that Hafstrom had been a great addition to the team for many reasons.
because she had to train for indoor and outdoor events in addition to the Swedish National Relays, which will be this summer.
"She is very determined and talented, and the other girls see that." Guymon said.
"She is something of a role model," he said. "The other girls see her and the way she works and realize they come that good if they work that hard."
Guymon said that Hafstrom needed a different training schedule
Hafstrom said running in other events in Sweden had always been enjoyable for her. She said she had participated in a women's run in which 30,000 women competed as well as many fun runs.
Whether it is a competitive race or one for fun, Hafstrom said she always tried to excel.
"I want to put in a lot of effort," 'she said. "I don't like to do things half-done.'
Hafstrom that working with him helped he to become a better runner.
"Here there are always teammates and friends to cheer you on, and there is always someone to push it. It makes it easier to push yourself hard, till much more fun," she said. "If you have fun, you get that much better."
KU, K-State, MU set for weekend meet

Coaches feel ready to take on rivals in Anschutz this weekend, predict close score
By Andrea Kuhm Special to the Kansan
"It doesn't matter if it's track or tidywinks. It's always a rivalry when Kansas State, Kansas and Missouri meet."
The sentiments of K-State track coach John Capriotti will be tested tomorrow. The three schools will meet at noon in Anschutz Sports Pavilion for a triangular meet with a twist.
"It will be the best combined program against the best combined
According to Kansas track coach Gary Schwartz, instead of tallying the men's and women's scores separately as usual, the scores for each team will be combined to create a school team total.
program." he said.
This is the second year for the meet, which rotates to a different school each year. K-State was host for the meet last year. Capriotti said the formal and the rivalry among the schools made the match-up exciting.
"People that went to the meet came up to me afterward and said how great it was," he said. "They saw some exciting races. I hope of fans come out to KU this year — they'll enjoy it."
Schwartz said he hoped the meet would draw a large number of fans.
"Just in this area there are a lot of people who have ties to K-State, KU and MU. So we ought to be able to get a lot of people here," he said. "They
'll see a good meet.'
He said that because it was still early in the track season, the athletes would not be at their highest performance levels.
"Performances won't be like you'll see later at the Big Eight meet, but that's not important," he said. "What's important is the competitiveness. They're going to be competing against someone in a different colored uniform, and the object is to beat that person."
Capriotti said the competitiveness created team excitement
"It's neat because everyone wants to score points for the team. It gives all the athletes a chance to compete contribute to the team effort," he said.
KState ran away with last year's meet, scoring 140 points. KU was second with 92, and Missouri scored 89.
Schwartz and Capriotti predicted a
score with the scores tighter than last
year.
"We're going to be missing some kind of worried," Capucci said.
Schwartz said the triangular meet would be evaluated after next year, but he hoped the meet would develop into a three-team fight which could intensify the natural rivalry between the schools.
"We want to compete against the best and the schools that will bring out the best in us," he said. "This meeting is going to do that."
