In the final home meet of her career, senior diver Meghan Proehl won the one-meter diving competition with a score of 297.70. To top it off, the senior also captured the top spot in the three-meter dive with a score of 289.65 points.
So it went for the entire team as Kansas swimming and diving won 14 of 16 events to defeat South Dakota, 178-106, and Northern Iowa, 174-108, on senior appreciation day in Robinson Natatorium.
Kansas honored its five seniors with a pre-meet ceremony, recognizing each senior individually. The Jayhawk senior class is comprised of Carrah Haley, Melissa Heyrman, Allison Ho, Emily Lanteigne and Proehl.
But Kansas' underclassmen chipped in, too.
Junior Brittany Potter won the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.87 seconds. In the 200-yard butterfly, Potter won with a time of 2.05.81 to place ahead of her twin sister, Alyssa Potter, by 1.67 seconds.
Sophomore Stephanie Payne placed first in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.95) and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:22.91), while freshman Brooke Brull won the 100-yard freestyle (52.91) and the 200-yard IM (2:07.13).
Freshman Rebecca Swank swam the 500-yard freestyle event, placing first with a time of 4:58.55.
"It was a good meet to honor our seniors and also finish off our home dual meet schedule," coach Clark Campbell said. "We had a lot of really good swims. I thought Rebecca Swank's 500 freestyle was a really great effort. We continue to get better every single week. I think we are going to set ourselves up well for
the Big 12 Championships."
Kansas returns to the pool Feb. 5 when the Jayhawks travel to Ames, Iowa, for a two-day meet against Iowa State. The first day of competition is set to begin at 6 p.m.

registered six solo tackles and one assist for seven total to lead
the West team. Two of Stuckey's seven tackles came on punt coverage.
Stuckey registered 93 tackles in 12 games last season after making 88 stops in 13 games in 2008. For his career, Stuckey recorded 295 tackles, the second most by a defensive back in school history
"Given the number of reps we were given in the all-star game, I felt like I played really well," Stuckey said in a statement. "Of course I made some mistakes, but I feel like I was a credit to my team, especially on special teams."
Quarterback Todd Reesing was one of three quarterbacks for the West team. He completed two of
five passes for 11 yards with one interception. He also rushed twice for 11 yards, matching the second-best yardage total on the West.
Senior wide receiver Kerry Meier did not record any statistics in the game.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL

It was the Longhorns' second consecutive loss after winning their first 17 games.
STORRS, Conn. — Jerome Dyson scored a career-high 32 points and Connecticut overcame a 10-point second-half deficit to upset top-ranked Texas 88-74 on Saturday.
The Huskies (13-6) outscored Texas (17-2) 54-32 in the second half and earned their first win over a ranked opponent this season in five attempts.
Kemba Walker had 19 points and 10 assists, and Stanley Robinson added 17 points and 12 rebounds for UConn, which again was without coach Jim Calhoun, who missed his second game on a doctor-ordered leave of absence.
The win likely will put the Huskies back into the Top 25 after they missed the poll for the first time in 36 weeks.
Damion James led Texas with 23 points and seven rebounds, and Avery Bradley added 15 points.

Connecticut was ranked as high 10th in late December but fell out of the Top 25 this week after a three-game losing streak.
