Women's team wins dual
By Matt Woodruff

The Kansas women's swimming and diving team swept Iowa State and 25th-ranked Texas A&M in a double-dual meet on Saturday at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks beat A&M by a score of 173-117 and ISU by a score of 168-117.
Kansas coach Gary Kempf was pleased with his team's performance, especially because the meet got off to such an early start.
Kansas sophomore Tracey McCalley takes a deep breath during her 200-meter butterfly race Saturday. The Kansas swimming and diving team competed against Iowa State and Texas A&M in the event at Robinson Natorium
"Sometimes it's hard to come out at 9 in the morning and swim fast." Kempf said. "But I thought we came out mentally prepared."
Senior Rebecca Andrew won three events, including the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyles. Junior Kristin Nilsen won the 200-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter individual medley.
Freshman diver Kerri Pribyl finished just eight 10ths of a point out of second place.
The men's squad was less successful against the Aggies on Friday night and split its two duels against Iowa State and A&M. The men defeated Iowa State by a score of 157.5-135 but fell to the 19th-ranked
A&M squad.175.5-124.5.
Kempf said he was pleased with the team's overall effort and that the men would use the meet as a learning experience.
Standouts for the men's squad were freshman Tyler Painter, junior Kostaki Chiligiris and senior Erik Jorgensen. Chiligiris won the 200-meter individual medley and was second in the 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter backstroke. Jorgensen and Painter finished first and second in both the 1000-meter
and 500-meter freestyle, with Painter finishing first in the 1000 and Jorgensen winning the 500.
There was a hard-fought battle for first place between junior diver Brain Humphrey and A&M sophomore Mark Naftanel.
"It was just as I expected; it was nip and tuck," Fearon said. "Brian faltered on one dive, and it cost him first place. But he was right there."
The team will travel to Athens, Ga., next weekend to compete in the Georgia Invitational.
Hot prospect says he'll stay home

In front of about 500 classmates and local residents last Friday, Wichita Collegiate High School's Maurice Evans ended the speculation about where he will play college basketball next season. He'll be staying home.
Evans announced in a press conference his choice of hometown Wichita State above Kansas and Oklahoma State, ending months of rampant debate in the Wichita area.
"I kind of knew where I wanted to go all along," Evans said. "I know with my commitment, a lot of others will follow."
The 6-foot-5-inch forward averaged 20.6 points and 9.2 rebounds a game last year. Evans said that staying home to play meant more to him than leaving.
"This was not an easy decision for me because I like all three places so much," Evans said. "I want to thank God for giving me the talent to be in this position, my friends
and coaches I've had to this point who have supported me and my family most of all. That's why I decided to stay close to home. I like being with my family. I feel comfortable here. I don't like change."
While the Jayhawks lost out on Evans, they may be very close to signing another perimeter player. Kenny Gregory, a 6-foot-4-inch guard from Columbus, Ohio, may already have decided to attend Kansas. According to Gregory's high school coach Dave Feyh, he likely will make his official announcement on his birthday, Nov. 16.
"Making the announcement on his birthday seems to be special to him," Feyh said.
While recruiting experts are busy predicting future Jayhawks, the current team already has been chosen the preseason No. 1 in the USA Today/CNN coaches' poll.
Cincinnati, Wake Forest, Kentucky and Utah rounded out the top five.
