Track and field team excels
Athletes claim 13 first-place finishes in Kansas Invite

The Kansas track and field team showed signs that it is ready to begin a season full of challenges by claiming 13 different first-place finishes against university, college and club teams at the Kansas Invitational Saturday at Anschutz Pavilion.
"I was pretty pleased with our team's performance and the meet," said Kansas coach Gary Schwartz. "Two things I was looking for from our team were fitness and competitiveness, and I was pleased in both cases. There were lots of things to be excited about."
The Kansas men competed without All-American decathlete Michael Evers, who has eligibility remaining only in the outdoor season, and All-American Brian Martin, who will miss the 1997 season after being ruled academically ineligible.
"We're going to miss Brian," said Chip Malmstrom, who performed in the pentathlon, setting a personal best in the high jump. "He was a big point-getter. He has a tattoo on his chest that says 'just win, baby' and that's what he did. But other people will have to step up."
Distance runner Matt Norton is among those people. He started the season by placing first in the mile run.
"Matt Norton is a senior this year, and I think you could say he's on a mission," Schwartz said. "He's prepared. He's got his head into what he's doing, and I will be very, very surprised if he doesn't have a strong indoor and outdoor season."
three-time Olympian and former Jayhawk Jim Ryun, finished 1-2 in their first race as Jayhawks.
Also competing at the invitational was Kansas Hall-of-Fame pole vaulter and 1996 Olympian Scott Huffman. Huffman attempted to set a new Anschutz Pavilion record in the pole vault, but he fell short of Jeff Buckingham's mark of 18-2 1/2 set in 1985 with an 18-1vault.

The women's team enjoyed several strong performances as well, including 1996 NCAA finalist Candy Mason's first-place finish in the women's pentathlon.
"Candy Mason is going to be a major impact type of person," Schwartz said. "She has several strong events. She can help us in the hurdles, the long jump and the high jump. I think she has two or three events where she will be conference and possibly national level."
Also turning in a strong performance was Amber Mounday, who placed third in the pentathlon and won the high jump and the 800-meter run.
"I think it was a pretty good outing for our first meet," Mounday said. "I thought my shot put was horrible, but I was happy with everything else."
Schwartz also was pleased with spinner Diamond Williams.
"(Williams) is one of the people who is going to have to step up this year, and I think she had a very strong meet," Schwartz said.
Co-captain Kim Feldkamp, who returns as the Jayhawks' top shotputter and placed fifth in the event at last year's conference championships, won the shot put event with a toss of 44-10-3/4.
"I think this was a good season opener," Feldkamp said. "We had a lot of girls with good performances."
Feldkamp is among those looking forward to the challenges of a new conference.
"It's going to be a tough conference, but I think it will also open up some opportunities," she said.
The team will be back in action next weekend when they travel to Columbia, Mo., to compete in the Missouri Invitational.
Notes:
The Kansas track and field team will have to do without four members on the men's side this season, and three of them are seniors.
Seniors David Cooksey, Chris Gaston, Martin, and freshman John Wonbaugh will all miss the 1997 indoor and outdoor seasons after being ruled academically ineligible;
Kansas women tromp Baylor 79-49
NEXTUP...Kansas' indoor track and field schedule. Page 2B
By Tommy Gallagher Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team controlled the tempo, the boards and the Baylor Bears in its 79-49 victory last Saturday night at Allen Field House.
"I think anyone would be happy with that kind of win," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "A lot of people got a chance to play, and we got a chance to try a lot of different things tonight."
The Jayhawks (12-2 overall, 3-0 Big 12 Conference) opened the game with a 10-2 lead. Kansas forward Jennifer Trapp scored the team's first six points. Kansas led Baylor (8-5, 1-2) 19-9 with 9:40 left in the first half and only increased its double-digit lead the rest of the game.
Trapp, who finished with a team-
high 15 points, was surprised by the margin of victory.
"I thought it would have been a lot closer than what it was," she said. "We're really pleased with the way we played, but we're not going to get too excited. We need a lot of improvement, especially with our defense."
Baylor might disagree with Trapp after its performance in Saturday's game.
The Bears shot 34.7 percent from the field and missed all six threepoint shot attempts. Baylor also was dominated on the boards; they were out-rebounded 53-31. Kansas finished the game with 25 offensive rebounds and 28 defensive rebounds.
Kansas forward/center Nakia Sanford said that Kansas won partly because of its size advantage.
"It seems as if the ball just rolled right for us tonight," said Sanford, who had 13 points and six rebounds. "I think we had more depth at the inside positions and were able to wear them down."
Never was Kansas' superior inside play more evident than in the first three minutes of the second half.
half.
Sanford, while defending Baylor forward Shannon Applebury, was hit in the face with the basketball and fell to the floor. She recovered and was able to draw an offensive fight against Applebury, her fourth of the game.
Two possessions later, point guard Tamecka Dixon assisted Sanford, who was able to draw the fifth foul against Applebury with 17:03 left in the game. Applebury collected her final three fouls during a two-minute time period at the start of the second
The game also marked the return of guard Lynn Pride to the starting lineup. She had missed four games because of a sprained right knee and saw limited playing time in a Wednesday's game against Iowa State.
"She wanted to play more, but I wanted to hold her back," Washington said. "I thought she was very aggressive out there tonight. She gives us size, quickness and athletic ability on the perimeter, and we're that much stronger with her on the court."
Pride, who averages 6.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, will wear a brace over her injured knee for another week. She played 14 minutes against the Bears, scoring four points and recording seven rebounds.
