Bowlers to strike Chicago

Kansas bowling team member Mark Eramo, Grafton, Mass., senior works on his game at the Jaybowl lanes in the Kansas Union.
Bowling and Kansas. Few students on Mount Oread would put those words together.
However, the Kansas bowling team is serious about making a name for itself as a successful athletic program.
The team, which is more than 35 years old, does not wear leisure suits, as most people would expect. Not only is this team focused, but it also contains some possible professional bowlers.
"People on this team are very serious about bowling," said team member Mark Eramo, Grafton, Mass., senior. "A lot of the guys on this队 want to go pro and could go pro."
Eramo also said the intensity of the team was shown best during tournaments.
"The best way to describe it is that everyone is pumped up, as if at a football game," he said. "There is so much yelling and screaming that you can hardly hear yourself think."
The team will take its nothing-but business attitude this weekend to the Great Lakes Collegiate Championships in Chicago.
"We are going there to win," Eramo said. "We have the team and the talent."
The tournament consists of 40 teams from Rhode Island to Arizona. The team has been practicing hard in preparation.
"We have been practicing a lot on our own all week long," said team member Shawn Beach, Topeka senior. "We have a sports psychologist, and we have been working on our mental game. too."
After Chicago, the team, which
consists of two five-man teams, will pursue its biggest goal — to make it to Kansas City for nationals in April. To make it there, the team will have to perform well in the largest conference in the nation, the Great Plains Intercollegiate Conference.
"Our conference has two of the top teams in the nation with Wichita State and Nebraska." Eramo said.
Other teams in the conference include Iowa State, Nebraska.
Omaha, Emporia State, Central Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State.
Beach said this year's team should have no problem competing against any foe.
"This year, we definitely have a very strong corps from top to bottom," Beach said. "We have veteran talent plus a lot of great new guys that will make us tough on anybody."
Swimmers try to stay in the no-passing lane

Both the men's and women's squads have perfect records to defend.
The members of the Kansas swimming and diving teams will have a lot on the line when they travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the Missouri Tigers.
But past success against the Tigers doesn't mean the Javahawks are taking this meet for granted.
The women's squad has history to defend as well. It never has lost to Missouri, posting a 20-0 record against the Tigers. The men's squad's overall record against Missouri is 22-8.
"We can't go in thinking we're going to roll over them by the first diving break, or we're going to be in for a surprise," Kansas assistant swimming coach Troy Reynolds said. "One thing we stress, regardless of who we're swimming, is respect for our opponents."
Reynolds said that despite its lack of depth, Missouri had some good swimmers, especially in the sprint events.
Fortunately, Kansas counters in the sprint events with sophomore Alan Kroll and freshman Brant Peoples. In the men's last meet against Southern Illinois, Peoples won the 50- and 100-year freestyle events. Reynolds said that because there had been an emphasis on endurance training early in the season, Kroll and Peoples would go faster as the season progressed.
One Kansas swimmer who has been going faster each time she hits the water is junior Rebecca Andrew. She won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle against Southern Illinois Oct. 27 and the 50-yard freestyle against Minnesota the next day. She said that swimming against faster opponents helped her swim faster, but she would be ready to do her best against Missouri.
"Not to be mean, but they are not quite on the same level as we are," Andrew said. "We still need to get pumped for the meet even though the level of competition won't be as high as it was against Minnesota."
Reynolds said that because of Missouri's solid recruiting class, as well as the addition of some transfers, the Tigers had improved.
"Our guys are going to have their hands full," he said.
