Area youngsters take a swing at improving baseball skills
Current and former Kansas players share knowledge at camp
By Dan Gelston Kansan sportswriter
For nine months during the year,
Kansas baseball players are coached and instructed about how to play better baseball.
But this weekend, the players were teachers who shared their knowledge with about 100 kids from the third to the 12th grades at the annual Jayhawk Baseball Camp.
The Jayhawks did everything from soft-toss drills to working on pitching mechanics during two sessions at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium and Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
"I think the players enjoy it and get a lot of out it," Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall said. "They really do a good job at it."
Randall started each session with a motivational and instructional speech. He kept it humorous, asked trivia questions and even gave the participants a homework
assignment for next weekend.
The kids then broke into small groups and took turns at different stations run by the players. The camp was an opportunity for the Jayhawks to give something back to the fans.
"I really enjoy being with the kids," Kansas junior shortstop Joe DeMarco said. "A lot of them really look up to us, so it's a good opportunity for them to see us in person. We make it fun for them, and they make it fun for us."
"We learn a lot about baseball and have a lot of fun," said Aaron Beaver, a 12-year-old from Hutchinson who was participating in his third consecutive camp. "They teach me a lot about baseball. It's also pretty cool to meet famous people."
The kids' smiles supported DeMarco's statements.
Besides Randall, who played six years in the major leagues, former Jayhawks and current professional baseball players Darryl Monroe, Jamie Splittorff and Curtis Shaw came back to work the camp.
kid, I went to these kind of camps and really looked up to and appreciated the players who ran them. Now I can't believe I'm in the position that they were in."
For Splittorff, Kansas' newest entry into the professional ranks, it was time to repay some favors. Kansas pitching coach Wilson Kilmer had asked him to participate.
"When I was here, I did it, and now it's enjoyable for me to come back." Shaw said. "When I was a
"Coach Kilmer asked me to do it, and I was more than happy to help out the program a little bit," Splitoff said. "The coaches really did a lot for me here, so it was the least I could do."
This weekend was the second in a three weekend program. The final session will be held next weekend.
Randall told the kids to take 54 swings and do 25 sit-ups during the week as well as looking up the answers to his trivia questions. From Dec. 27 to 29, Randall will start the Jayhawk mini-camp, which will involve 50-100 high school students.
Jayhawk women win swim meet
"Everyone of these guys would like to be in their shoes," Randall said of the participants. "I mean, who wouldn't want to be a Jay-hawk?"

The Kansas swimming and diving teams are finishing a grueling semester on a high note.
The No. 17 Kansas women dominated the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Ind., this weekend scoring 878.5 points, 350 more than the second-place finisher, the University of Pittsburgh.
"The ladies were definitely the best team there," Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf said.
Several Kansas women set pool records at the meet; junior Rebecca Andrew in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle; freshmen Adrienne Turner in the 200-yard butterfly; senior Donna Christensen in the 100-yard butterfly; sophomore Kelly Williams in the 100-yard breaststroke; senior Jennifer Petelier in the 200-yard freestyle; and the team of freshman Sarah Stauffer, sophomore Colleen Philips, Petelier and Andrew in the 400-yard freestyle.
Pelter also won the 500-yard free-style. Sophomore Kristin Nilsen won the 200-and 400-yard individual medley and the 200-yard breast-stroke.
The No. 24 Kansas men's team finished second out of seven squads, losing to a rested University of Pittsburgh team, 843-740.
Junior Erik Jorgensen won the 1,650-yard freestyle and set a pool record in 500-yard freestyle. Freshman Brant Peoples won the 50-yard freestyle.
Kansas' next meet is Jan. 6 at Texas A&M.
The Kansas divers also performed well in Indiana. Senior All-American Michelle Rojohn finished second on both the 1- and 3-meter boards.
The Kansas men's diving team ran into some bad luck in the person of University of Pittsburgh diver Jeremy McClean.
"The kid was on. He had a career meet," Kansas diving coach Don Fearon said.
McClean had an 80-point improvement in final round scores to defeat Kansas senior Kris Hoffman on the 3-meter board.
"We've had better days," Fearon said. "The guys were steady, but we have some work we need to do."
The diving teams' next meet is the All-American Diving Meet, Jan. 3-6 in Austin, Texas.
