Track season begins
Team prepares for competition at Emporia State
By Matt Woodruff
Karman sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team will hear the first gunshots of the outdoor season today as they compete at the Emporia State University Spring Twilight in Emporia.
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas sent six athletes to compete in the Texas A&M Heptahpl/Decathlon in College Station, Texas, last weekend, but this will mark the first meet in which the entire team will compete.
Kansas ended the indoor season with a disappointing finish at the Big 12 Championships in Lincoln,Neb., with the men placing eighth and the women placing 12th.
"We're looking forward to getting started again, especially in events like the long throws, the discus and the javelin," said Kansas coach Gary Schwartz. "Some people will get their first chance to compete in those events, and they've been practicing all year."
be a good way to get back into the swing of things.
Schwartz said that this meet would
“It’s kind of a low-key thing, and you can treat this meet any way you want to,” he said. “You can go out and run it like it's a race, or you can treat it as a quality workout.”
Dave Harris, coach at Emporia State, said that in this type of meet, anything could happen.
"This is our home opener and a huge meet with 18 schools coming in," Harris said. "It should be a great day weather-wise, and when you catch a good day, I think it will surprise people what can happen."
Kansas failed to have an Indoor All-American for the first time since 1972, and if no one achieves the goal in the outdoor season, it would be the first time the team has been shut out of both seasons.
Kansas is looking for someone to step-up to All-America status this season.
Mike Evers, who reached All-America status by finishing sixth in the decathlon in the 1996 outdoor season, was redshirted in the indoor season and may be the team's best bet to

achieve that goal this outdoor season.
Senior Latanya Holloway will try to repeat as an All-American for the women's team. Holloway is the school record holder in the 800-meter relay and the distance medley relay.
"Mike is another year stronger and another year smarter," Schwartz said. "It will be good to have him back."
Big 12 teams deserve respect
Field events will begin at Fran Welch Stadium at 2 p.m. and the running events will begin at the Zola Witten Track at 4 p.m.
Expectations were high when the Southwest Conference and Big
Over-rated! ... Over-rated!
The ACC started the tournament with five teams. It has just two teams remaining in the Sweet 16.
It has been said all season that the Big 12 is Kansas and the rest.
It had one, two, three, four, five and nine seeds when the tournament began. Only the one and four remain.
Of the teams that have lost, only Virginia lost to a higher-seeded team — Iowa was an eight seed. But somehow, Iowa was ranked 12 spots below Virginia in the RPI rankings. And College of Charleston, the team that beat fifth-seeded Maryland, was a 12 seed and ranked 32 spots below the ACC in the RPI rankings.
Analysts and rankings have been saying how great the ACC was the entire year. Four teams from the conference (North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and Clemson) have been ranked in the top five. Now, only two remain among the top 16 in the tournament.
While the ACC was receiving praise; the Big 12 Conference was getting no respect.

SPORTS COLUMNIST
The only Big 12 team to lose in the first round was Oklahoma. Oklahoma only made the tournament because Texas Tech withdrew from consideration.
The Pacific 10 Conference also is underrated. All season, everybody had been saying that the conference was weak, that UCLA and Arizona had struggled, and that the conference never did well in the tournament.
The Pac-10 is the only conference with four teams in the Sweet 16.
As for some of the perennial power conferences, one team remains from each of the Big 10, Big East, Southeast Conference and Conference USA.
So, according to the Sweet 16, the best two conferences are the Pac-
10 and the Big 12.
That makes UCLA and Kansas the best two teams in the country. Only time and the tournament will tell. Don't ever count Kentucky out.
UCLA and Minnesota are playing the best basketball in the tournament right now. Luckily for Kansas, they also have the toughest routes to the final game including a possible meeting against each other this Saturday in San Antonio.
Will Utah's luck ever run out? It took buzer-beaters by Keith Van Horn in two games of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament for the Utes to win it. Now Stanford has eliminated Wake Forest from Utah's path.
Everyone is talking about how poorly Kansas is playing. The Jayhawks beat Jackson State and Purdue, both of whom were playing their championship games, by 14 points each. I'd rather see the Jayhawks continue to get by and peak in the championship game than win by 40 in the first round. They'll be okay.
Keith Van Horn will be a better pro than Tim Duncan. Duncan may record point and rebound totals in the 20s in college, but Van Horn can play small forward in the NBA. He's a more well-rounded player and he has range. In addition to that, Van Horn has that luck on his side.
