Kansan staff report
The Kansas track and field team turned in another strong performance on Saturday at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, but Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said that is still has work to do before the Indoor Championships on Feb. 20-22.

among those who did rise to the occasion, becoming the third Jayhawk to qualify for the NCAA provisional with his 17-1 1/2 pole vault. Kansas pole vaulter Jon Colby Miller tied for seventh (16-8 3/4) in the event, and Chip Malmstrom finished 18th overall with a 15-3 vault.
Gene Coleman continued his solid indoor season by placing third in the 400-meter run with a time of 48.49. Pierre Lisk earned a seventh place finish in the 60-meter finals (6.83).
The men ran well and finished second to Georgia in the 400-meter relay with a time of 48.49. The team consisted of Coleman, Lisk, Nathan Hill and Matt Norton.
Nathan Prenger earned fifth in the 60-meter hurdles (8.18). Andy Tate
finished ninth in the mile (4:12.91),
and Paul Tan placed 11th in the triple jump (47-8).
On the women's side, Kim Felkamp reached the shot put finals and placed 13th with a season best throw of 46-2. The Kansas women also placed ninth in the 4x400 meter relay as Candace Mason, Diamond Williams, Latanya Holloway and Carleen Roberts ran a team best 3:49.08.
"I thought the girls ran very well," Schwartz said. "It was their best time of the year and I think one of the better mile relay times there's been since I've been here. I was very proud of them for that."
The team will be back in action next weekend when they travel to Manhattan to compete in the Kansas State Invite on Feb. 14.
