Injured Jayhawks prepare for weekend track invitational

Last weekend, the Kansas track and field team missed some big contributors because of injuries at the KSU-KU-MU Triangular meet in Manhattan, in which the Jayhawks finished second.
In the past week, many Jayhawks have been practicing in anticipation for Saturday's Jayhawk Invitational track meet in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Among those returning from the injured list are Kansas junior Pierre Lisk, who did not make the trip to Manhattan on Saturday because of a virus.
Kansas assistant track and field coach Theo Hamilton said Lisk would run this weekend.
Kansas senior distance runner Kristi Kloster, who made the trip to Manhattan, did not run because of a calf injury.
Kansas assistant track and field coach Steve Guymon said that it was better for a distance runner to race every other weekend. In addition to Kloster, some other distance runners who normally race will not be running.
Guymon said Kloster was feeling better but would sit out this weekend with distance runners Melissa Swartz and Sarah Heeb.
Kansas junior Amber Moundy competes in the high jump event at the KSU-KU-MU Triangular meet last Saturday in Manhattan.
Kloster will race a week from Friday.
Kansas junior captain Latanya Holloway is expected to run this weekend.
Holloway has been out because of an injured left hip flexor.
"We're going to enter her, and if she's feeling OK Friday, we'll probably go ahead and run her on Saturday," Hamilton said. "It will be her first meet all year."
Even though they have a home meet this weekend, three track and field athletes will be spending another weekend in Manhattan.
Kansas juniors Michael Evers, Travis Perret and Nathan Prenger will be taking part in a septathlon at K-State.
Kansas junior multi-event performer Amber Mounday said this weekend's meet was a good chance to practice her events.
"As far as our training, we're having a really heavy week this week," Mounday said. "For the multi-eventers, it's a good time to work on some of the individual events that you may need work and more experience in competition."
