SPRINTS/HURDLES HEADLINES • • • • •

Michael Stigler is back for his senior season after already putting together a Hall of Fame worthy career. The threetime First Team All-American has claimed three Big 12 400-meter hurdle titles in a row and has twice been the NCAA runner-up in the event. Look for Stigler to settle for nothing less than a national title in 2015. The group looses All-Big 12 sprinter DeMario Johnson. Johnson was a key member of the men’s 4x100-meter as well as the 4x400-meter relay team which won the outdoor conference championship in 2013. Drew Matthews and Jaime Wilson round out the returning members of the Jayhawks’ relay teams. Wilson helped both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays to All-Big 12 performances last year, while Matthews was a member of the 4x400 squad that competed at the NCAA Championships in June. Quarter-mile specialist Kenneth McCuin returns for his final year in Lawrence. McCuin was the Big 12 runner-up to his teammate, Stigler, in the 600 yards last season and has run sub-47 seconds in the 400 meters. The sprint groups sees an injection of a trio of talented newcomers that will be expected to contribute early and often. Cameron Johnson and Jaron Hartley both come from Texas after posting impressive times in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Tre Daniels comes to Lawrence after a solid career at Manhattan High School in central Kansas.

MICHAEL STIGLER

MIDDLE DISTANCE

BEN BROWNLEE

HEADLINES • • • • •

The middle distance group will be in a rebuilding mode after losing five seniors to graduation last year, including All-Big 12 performer Brendan Soucie. Junior Ben Brownlee is the veteran of the group, his leadership will be an important asset as the men will see three freshmen in this group in 2015. Sophomore Adel Yoonis joined the squad during the second semester a year ago and quickly showed off his high potential. After a strong fall training with the cross country team, Yoonis is ready to move to the top of the middle distance depth chart. Freshman Anthonio Humphrey, Jr. enters his collegiate career after tallying some impressive accolades at the high school level. Humphrey was a two-time state champion in the 800 meters and posted times that show he appears to be ready for the big-time races at the next level. Two more out-of-state freshmen that have the KU coaches excited are Matt Anyiwo and Leon Cambridge. Both were all-state performers in high school and have the makings of rounding out what could become the deepest middle distance squad in the Big 12.

DISTANCE HEADLINES • • • • • •

Watch for the distance squad to become a key aspect of the Jayhawks’ success this season with a veteran and tested set of athletes making up the majority of the group. After injury sidelined him a year ago, senior Josh Munsch is primed to end his KU career strong. He has been on the cusp of greatness in each of the last two competitive seasons, just missing out on conference titles in the mile and 1,500 meters in 2013, taking third in both and posting times a Jayhawk hasn’t attained in some time. Evan Landes established himself as KU’s top long distance runner over the last two years, posting some of the best 10,000-meter times by a Jayhawk in years and running to All-Big 12 accolades in the event last season. He will be a strong contender for qualifying spots at the NCAA Championship meets. Kansas welcomes Colorado State transfer Jacob Morgan after the junior finished off a stellar cross country season for the Jayhawks last fall. Morgan has already shown he has the stuff to go up against the top distance runners in the nation and will try to take the momentum from the cross country trails to the track. Senior James Wilson has become one of the most consistent competitors for KU’s distance group in his first three years in Lawrence. He ended his 2014 track season strong and is coming off a solid final cross country campaign. Several newcomers join the group this year that have proven to be capable of making an immediate impact including Chris Melgares and Carson Vickroy. Both were constant contributors for KU in their first season on the cross country trails and will be expected to do the same on the track.

EVAN LANDES

INTRODUCTION

VERTICAL JUMPS HEADLINES • • • • • •

The vertical jumps group is expected to again be the most prosperous faction of the men’s team in 2015 as the group returns all but one athlete that helped contribute over a quarter of the team’s Big 12 Championship points in 2014. Senior Casey Bowen is back after claiming the Big 12’s outdoor pole vault title a season ago. He is also coming off an outdoor campaign that saw him clear 18-feet for the first time. Watch for that to become a regular occurrence this year. The deep pole vault squad also includes senior Greg Lupton, juniors Jake Albright and Nick Maestretti and sophomore Nick Meyer, each of whom posted top-eight finishes at one or both of the Big 12 Championship meets last year. Two more highly touted freshman vaulters enter the fold this year in Sam Haraway and Trevor Hillis. Both vaulted over 15 feet in high school and were top finishers at their respective state meets in multiple years. Senior Aaron Blevins rounds out the pole vault squad. Blevins has been the most consistent vaulter during his Jayhawk career and his steady improvement could very well produce scoring efforts at the league meets this year. Kansas will see its most experienced and veteran group of high jumpers in some years in 2015. Seniors Nick Giancana, Jonathan Fuller and Austin Hoag have each cleared seven feet and are multiple-time scorers at the Big 12 indoor and outdoor meets. Watch for one or several to make appearances at the NCAA meets this year.

CASEY BOWEN

HORIZONTAL JUMPS

BARDEN ADAMS

HEADLINES • • • • •

The horizontal jumps may be a young group but is more than capable of contributing to the overall team’s success this season. A pair of freshmen will make up the group after coach Wayne Pate brought in highly-touted recruits to his group, Barden Adams and Ezekial Welch. Adams is one of the top jumpers in the class of 2014 to come out of the state of New Jersey. He was the state runnerup in the triple jump in the spring of 2014, leaping to a PR distance of 48’3”, one of the top-60 marks in the nation last year. Adams has also shown promise in the long jump. With a career-best leap of over 22 feet, he has the potential to be a solid two-event contributor for the Jayhawks. Welch is coming off a standout high school career that saw him claim second and third-place finishes in the triple jump at the Kansas state meets his senior and junior years, respectively.

THROWS/COMBINED EVENTS HEADLINES • •

• • • •

Kansas will again feature a talented collection of throwers after returning all athletes who competed in the 2014 campaign. Sophomore Mitch Cooper will look to backup a stellar debut season in which he posted a number of high finishes in the discus as well as a fourth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships. Cooper also placed sixth at the IAAF World Junior Championships for his native Australia this summer, proving he is among the top young throwers in the world and giving him added confidence heading into his second year in Lawrence. Discus specialist Jonathan Miller comes into his senior year as one of KU’s most consistent performers. Miller has a host of high finishes to his name already and is primed to make a run at several titles in his final season. Junior Paul Golen and sophomore Michael Jensen gained some valuable experience and knowledge in their first years in Lawrence and are looking to have breakout seasons in 2015. Senior Phil Stand journeyed across Lawrence from Haskell Indian Nations University to spend his final year of eligibility as Jayhawk. Stand competed at the NAIA Championships a year ago and also won the MCAC discus title. For the first time in several years, the Kansas men will see a pair of combined event specialists on the roster as Lucas Shaw and Arnold Dinh join the group. The duo is athletic, but raw. Each have the tools to develop into strong multi-event competitors.

MITCH COOPER

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

SPRINTS/HURDLES HEADLINES • • • • • •

The sprints group is again expected to be one of the Kansas women’s strongest areas with the return of an All-American and the addition of several highly-touted recruits. The gap left by departing senior and 12-time First Team All-American Diamond Dixon will be a nearly impossible one to fill for this year’s squad, but several women are equipped and ready for the challenge. Tianna Valentine, who is one of two active members from the Jayhawks’ 2013 national championship team, returns for her junior season. She brings experience at the postseason meets as she was a member of the 2013 All-American 4x100-meter relay team and is already a multiple-time All-Big 12 performer in the 60 meters and 100 meters. Upperclassmen Alisha Keys and Sydney Conley established themselves as indispensable members of the 4x100-meter relay team. Keys and Conley have also tallied some impressive times in the open short sprints. Sophomore Zainab Sanni proved herself as one of the team’s top sprinters as a freshman last season and is primed to continue her improvement in 2015. The group adds freshman hurdler Daria Cook after a standout career at Vacaville High School in California. She was the 2013 state runner-up in the 100-meter hurdles and also tallied some head-turning marks in the 300-meter hurdles as well.

MIDDLE DISTANCE

WHITNEY ADAMS

HEADLINES • •

The middle distance crew has the potential to be one of the surprises of the year with junior Rhavean King and sophomore Whitney Adams both coming off stellar years in 2014. After impressive sophomore and junior campaigns, King is now equipped with some valuable experience after competing in large meets. Expect to see her post some of the fastest 800 meter times the Kansas women have seen in some time. King also spent some time on the 4x400-meter relays last season, which will likely be the case again in 2015. Adams was one of the team’s top freshmen a year ago, running to a runner-up finish in the 600 yards at the Big 12 meet and running one of the fastest 800-meter times in school history during the outdoor season. Watch for Adams to continue her climb to become one of the team’s top performers. The middle distance group adds another standout in freshman Dorie Dalzell. The Sammamish, Washington native comes to Lawrence as a highly-decorated runner out of high school and comes from a rich blood-line of Kansas track stars. Her grandfather, Art, was a member of the Jayhawks’ 1953 NCAA Champion Cross Country team and her father was a member of several conference championship teams in the early 1980’s.

The distance group will once again be a young one but will be equipped with much more experience than the crew of a season ago. Just six upperclassmen make up the 17-woman team, but several of its members are primed to make great impacts after impressive cross country campaigns. Junior Hannah Richardson has been the group’s most successful runner on the big stage with several high finishes already at the conference level. She ran with the top 1,500-meter and mile runners in the conference in her first two seasons and may now be ready to compete for league titles. She was forced to sit out the 2014 cross country campaign due to injury but is expected to be 100 percent for the track season. Lydia Saggau and Kelli McKenna each split time in the 800 meters and the shorter distance races last year. The pair will look to keep their stock in the team trending upward and could easily establish themselves as two of the more consistant contributors on this season’s roster. Nashia Baker will look to use the momentum gained from an impressive cross country season for another strong year on the track. Nashia and her twin sister Malika had strong debut seasons as freshmen and are more than capable turning some heads this year. Another solid batch of newcomers was inserted to the distance lineup this year, including Scotland native Sarah Kelly who has already gained valuable experience on the international stage in Europe.

INTRODUCTION

VERTICAL JUMPS HEADLINES •

The vertical jumps group was dealt a blow with the graduation of NCAA champion pole vaulter Natalia Bartnovskaya but the coaches have again reloaded with some standout freshmen that will try to fill her shoes. Senior Jaimie House has been a steady and important presence for the KU vaulters over the last three seasons, turning in scoring performances at each conference meet in which she has competed and earning trips to the NCAA West Prelim each year. Her experience and leadership will be an important asset this year. In the high jump pits, Colleen O’Brien has proven she can clear some big heights and leap with the best in the Big 12. She’s already among the top high jumpers in school history and could be a top the record books come season’s end. Two state champion pole vaulters enter the fold this season, Alexis Romero and Laura Taylor. Romero cleared 13-feet on multiple occasions and Taylor was twice crowned the state champion in Kansas. The Jayhawks will again expect big points out of the pole vaulters this year with Romero and Taylor capable of being consistent contributors in that endevour.

SYDNEY CONLEY

HEADLINES • • •

Sydney Conley is back for her junior season after leaping to First Team All-America honors in the long jump last season. Expect Conley to be on the short list for Big 12 favorites in the event this year and could even contend for a national title when it’s all said and done. Lawrence native Teri Huslig was the two-time state runner-up in the long jump and brings an athletic and versatile background that could bode well for success this season. Taryn Tempel was also a state runner-up and tallied the school record in the triple jump while at Garden City High School.

THROWS/COMBINED EVENTS HEADLINES • • • • • •

Like the sprints, these groups are expected to be one of the strongest and most profitable for the Kansas women this year. Lindsay Vollmer is back for her final season after already collecting a host of accolades few Jayhawks have achieved. The senior has a national championship and three conference titles already but she expects to add to that list in 2015. Freshman Olivia Vincent is predicted to be another national champion caliber athlete in the multi-events by the time her KU career is over. The winner of the 2013 Junior Olympic crown has few weaknesses in the combined events that should produce some impressive performances early in her career. Junior Anastasiya Muchkayev will head up the throws group in 2015. A mutliple time All-Big 12 performer in the shot put and discus, Muchkayev appears to be primed to contend for conference titles and earn All-America honors. Junior Daina Levy was a welcome addition to the Jayhawks after transfering to Lawrence last year. A specialist in the hammer throw, her versatility in the other throwing events has turned her into a vaulable tool in the Jayhawks’ arsenal. Dasha Tsema and Kianna Weinzheimer round out the throwers while Talia Marquez will join Vollmer and Vincent in the combined events.

2015 NCAA INDOOR Championship Qualifying Automatic qualifying standards no longer exist. Fields will be fixed to 16 participants per gender in individual events and 12 relays per gender. Across all divisions a new “indexing” formula will be used to convert performances based on track size and composition. Banked and oversized (over 200 meters) tracks will be considered the same for qualification purposes (which had not been the case prior in Division II). For the first time, the same factor will be used across the three divisions to convert for qualification. Instead of a set addition or subtraction factor per event, starting this year, performances for track size will be multiplied by a factor for converted seed time needs. See conversion chart below.

2015 NCAA OUTDOOR Championship Qualifying Like the indoor championship qualifying, there will be no regional or national qualifying standards for the 2015 outdoor season. The top 48 athletes in each event will compete at one of two sites of the “National Championship Preliminary Round.” As part of the “West Region” Kansas athletes who qualify for the preliminary round of the NCAA Championships will compete in Austin, Texas, May 28-30. Athletes will then compete in a bracket-style format through their respective events with the top 24 athletes advancing to the NCAA Championships in the individual events and top 16 moving on in the relay events. The NCAA Outdoor Championships will be held in Eugene, Oregon, June 10-13.

“YOU COME TO KU FOR THE TRADITION, AND YOU LEAVE A PART OF IT.” DANNY MANNING

Hail to Old KU! 2

PHOG ALLEN

THE NICKNAME: JAYHAWK The University of Kansas is the home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history. Its origin is rooted in the historic struggles of Kansas settlers. The term “Jayhawk” was probably coined about 1848. Accounts of its use appeared from Illinois to Texas. The name combines two birds - the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter.

THE ALMA MATER In 1891, professor George Barlow Penny searched for a school song for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing on its tour through Kansas to Denver and back. No one responded with an original song in answer to his appeals. Just before departure, he thought of the Cornell song “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters.” Hastily changing a few words, he gave it to the glee club men to sing on the trip. He did not expect the song to be used after their return, but “Crimson and the Blue” still goes on. The music is not Cornell’s but an old English folk tune, “Annie Lisle.”

CAMPANILE HILL Campanile Hill forms the picturesque backdrop for Memorial Stadium. On a sunny fall Saturday, the “Hill” is transformed into a congregating place for watching Jayhawk football, sunning and barbequing. Potter Lake, just to the southwest of Memorial Stadium and at the bottom of Campanile Hill, adds to the beauty of the Kansas campus.

THE K RING The K Ring symbolizes a uniquely shared experience between generations of varsity letter winners at the University of Kansas. As a Jayhawk you are expected to uphold tradition and retain the characteristics of a champion while continuing the create your own legacy.

WAVING THE WHEAT Since the early days of KU sports, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive in football. The tradition also extends to Allen Fieldhouse where fans “wave the wheat” when an opponent fouls out and at the conclusion of every Jayhawk victory. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

THE ROCK CHALK CHANT The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club.

UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR Since arriving at the University of Kansas in 2009, Bernadette Gray-Little has advanced KU’s mission of lifting students and society by educating leaders, building healthy communities, and making discoveries that change the world. Through the Bold Aspirations strategic plan, KU is changing the way it prepares students for success. It’s fostering research and scholarship across all disciplines, and sharing the benefits of a flagship university with the state and world. Gray-Little led the effort to create new admission standards for the University of Kansas. These new standards take effect in 2016 and will give students and families a more accurate picture of what it takes to be successful at a research university.

Under Chancellor Gray-Little’s leadership, the university has also revamped financial aid, creating four-year renewable scholarships and expanding the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship. And it has launched its first university-wide curriculum, the KU Core, which incorporates both classes and experiences, making KU a leader among its national peers.

Gray-Little has also been instrumental to Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, KU Endowment’s $1.2 billion comprehensive fundraising campaign. Additionally, the university’s Changing for Excellence initiative is making administrative operations more efficient, with the savings being invested in education and research. As chancellor, Gray-Little is the chief executive officer of the university, overseeing campuses in Lawrence, Kansas City, Overland Park, Salina and Wichita, as well as research and educational centers in Garden City, Hays, Parsons, Pittsburg, Topeka and Yoder. Gray-Little was one of four university leaders selected to represent the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities at a White House summit on math and science education in January 2010. She is also on the board of trustees for the Online Computer Library Center, an international organization dedicated to expanding public access to information and research. Prior to becoming KU’s 17th Chancellor, Gray-Little held leadership positions at the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill, including executive vice chancellor and provost.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dr. Sheahon (SHAY-un) Zenger is a coach at heart. But when KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little introduced the Hays, Kan., native as KU’s Athletics Director January 3, 2011, he promised not to call any plays for the coaches. That doesn’t mean, though, that he won’t be right there with them – and their student-athletes – every step of the way. For it’s his genuine care for coaches and student-athletes that has stamped his career in intercollegiate athletics.

Zenger came to KU after serving for five years as athletics director at Illinois State University, helping steer ISU Athletics to a place of prominence in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Redbirds won a conference-leading seven league titles during the 2009-10 season and captured their second Valley AllSports Trophy in three years. ISU also reached highs in fundraising, academics and community service during Zenger’s tenure there.

Since Zenger’s arrival at KU, those coaches and student-athletes have raised the bar with outstanding performances on both the conference and national stages. Highlights include:

Zenger’s career took several turns before landing in athletics administration. After playing football at Fort Hays State and Mid-American Nazarene College, and even before he finished his undergraduate degree at Kansas State, he was pursuing his dream of coaching by assisting the football coaches at Manhattan (Kan.) High School. His first college football coaching job came at Drake University right after graduation; he then joined Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State, serving in key roles as assistant recruiting coordinator and director of football operations.

A National Championship for the Women’s Outdoor Track & Field team, and two individual national champions. An NCAA Final Four appearance for Men’s Basketball and four more Big 12 regular-season Championships, raising that streak of titles to 10. Two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances for Women’s Basketball. One NCAA Sweet 16 (and three straight NCAA appearances) for Volleyball. NCAA appearances for Baseball, Soccer, Softball and Women’s Golf. A National Coach-of-the-Year award (Stanley Redwine, women’s track and field) and several Big 12 Conference Coach-of-the-Year awards – Bill Self, men’s basketball (twice), Stanley Redwine, women’s track and field (twice), Ray Bechard, volleyball (twice), and Clark Campbell, swimming.

In fact, during the 2013-14 academic year, 11 KU teams reached postseason play, the most KU appearances in one year in more than a decade. Zenger has spearheaded a tremendous upgrade in Kansas Athletics’ facilities as well – improvements he expects will help KU’s coaches and student-athletes continue their run of outstanding performances. Most notable among these is the completion of Rock Chalk Park, which contains new, state-of-the-art stadiums for KU’s Track & Field, Soccer and Softball programs. Memorial Stadium has received a facelift as well. In summer 2014 the track surrounding the football field was removed, replaced with new artificial turf, bringing the turf to within 10 feet of the stands. In addition, construction is underway on the DeBruce Center, the permanent home of James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball,” adjacent to historic Allen Fieldhouse. Finally, construction has begun on McCarthy Hall, which will house the men’s basketball team and an equal number of distinguished non-student-athletes.

It became evident, though, that more than coaching was in store for Zenger. He came to KU to earn his Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership, while strengthening his understanding of university leadership at the highest levels. Still, coaching stayed in his blood. He joined the football staff at the University of South Florida and then at the University of Wyoming before returning to Kansas State, eventually serving as KSU’s associate athletics director for development. He held that position until becoming Athletics Director at Illinois State in 2005. Zenger served for three years on the NCAA Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. He also served on two NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division committees, and was a member of the Executive Committee of NACDA’s Division I FCS Athletic Directors Association. He is married to the former Pam McAnarney; they have three children: Luke, Abby and Jake.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

WEEK 1: BOB TIMMONS CHALLENGE

WEEK 2: BILL EASTON CLASSIC

Anschutz Pavilion | Dec. 7, 2013 | Lawrence, Kan.

Anschutz Pavilion | Jan. 10, 2014 | Lawrence, Kan.

The Kansas men’s and women’s track & field teams kicked off their 2013-14 campaigns with strong outings at the Bob Timmons Challenge Saturday afternoon inside Anschutz Pavilion. Kansas saw wins in seven events, including victories from All-Americans Diamond Dixon and Michael Stigler and both the men’s and women’s 4x400-meter relays.

After seeing their names mentioned among the nation’s top track & field athletes earlier this week, Kansas track & field’s Natalia Bartnovskaya, Lindsay Vollmer and Michael Stigler proved themselves worthy of their Bowerman Watch List status as they competed Friday at the Bill Easton Classic inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion.

Dixon was back to her winning ways Saturday afternoon as she ran away from the field in the 60-meter dash. The 12-time first team All-American began her senior campaign strong as she leaned through the finish to post a time of 7.53, bettering the second-place finisher by .04 seconds. Dixon’s time was also just .03 seconds off her career best and is the 10th-fastest time in the NCAA thus far in the young season.

First up was Bartnovskaya in the pole vault. The senior out of Krasnoyarsk, Russia got through the first three bars in flawless fashion, clearing 3.90 meters (12’9½”), 4.05 meters (13’3½”), and 4.15 meters (13’7¼”), all on her first attempt. The last clearance put her in a tie for the NCAA lead as of Friday night and gave the senior her first victory of the season.

Dixon was joined by sophomore teammate Tianna Valentine, who sprinted through the finish in sixth with the help of her time of 7.65. A pair of newcomers were next as freshmen Alexis Johnson (7.85) and Adriana Newell (8.00) turned in 11th and 20th-place finishes, respectively.

Meanwhile, Vollmer was producing some fireworks of her own in the high jump pit. The combinedevent specialist and defending NCAA heptathlon champion got off to a strong start like her teammate, Bartnovskaya. Vollmer took all three of her attempts at the next bar, 1.81 meters (5’11¼”), but saved her best for last, sliding over for her fifth clearance of the day and moving into the Kansas history books. Her mark was the highest hit be a KU female since 1993 and moved her to No. 3 on the school’s all-time indoor performance list.

Kansas saw a successful day in the high jump pits with both the men and women notching top finishes. For the men, junior Jonathan Fuller defended his Bob Timmons Challenge title with a clearance of 2.08 meters (6’9¾”). He outdueled senior teammate Nick Giancana, who was also able to get over 2.08 meters, but posted more fouls throughout the competition, which gave the tie-breaker edge to Fuller. Junior Austin Hoag saw a career day with top leap of 2.03 meters (6’8”), his highest indoor clearance as a Jayhawk. Sophomore Kevin Jones rounded out the KU men’s high jump finishers, placing fourth with his mark of 1.98 meters, which tied his career best. The other half of the vertical jumps group saw just as much success as the Jayhawk pole vaulters dominated on the runway. Five Kansas vaulters finished inside the top-nine of the final standings. Junior Greg Lupton and senior Alex Bishop led the way, both tallying top clearances of 5.15 meters (16’10¾”) to place second and third, respectively. The KU duo could not keep up with fellow Jayhawk Casey Bowen, who was competing unattached. The junior won the event after he was able to clear 5.25 meters (17’2¾”). Freshman Nick Meyer posted a fifth-place finish in his Kansas debut, hitting a mark of 4.90 meters (16’0¾”). Sophomore Nick Maestretti was seventh after also clearing 4.90 meters, and junior Aaron Blevins placed ninth with his vault of 4.75 meters (15’7¾”). All-American Stigler kicked his junior campaign off on a good note, taking a win in the 600 yards with relative ease. Stigler ran past the rest of the field by nearly 2.5 seconds and crossed the finish in a time of 1:10.95, just a second off of his career best. Sophomore Rhavean King picked up her first-career indoor victory, following Stigler’s lead by taking gold in the 600 yards. King completed the 2½ laps in 1:24.59, a new personal best and currently a top-10 time in the NCAA standings.

Stigler was once again the top performer on the track for the KU men, picking up a pair of victories and aiding in a third Friday evening. The junior started his day in the 60-meter hurdles, where he sprinted through the finish in 8.14, outleaning Kansas State’s Devin Dick to take the win. He then went on to post a win in the 400 meters, pulling away from the rest of the field in the final 100 meters to pick up his thirdcareer victory in the event. Stigler posted a time of 48.75, less than half a second off of his career best. Stigler then joined forces with teammates DeMario Johnson, Dominique Manley and Kenneth McCuin in the 4x400-meter relay. The group was up against a formidable Kansas State squad but managed to hold off the Wildcats in the final leg to take the victory. The four Jayhawks combined to run a time of 3:15.08. Diamond Dixon continued her climb back into the national spotlight as she turned in another head-turning performance, this time in the 600 yards. Dixon added another win to her résumé Friday as she easily claimed the 600-yard crown in career-best fashion. The senior out of Houston made her 2.5 trips around the Anschutz Pavilion track in 1:21.15, marking the fastest time of her career and the No. 3 performance in school history. In her first collegiate race on a track, freshman Nashia Baker turned in a standout performance as she claimed a win in the 3,000 meters. The Lansing, Kansas native completed her 15 laps in 10:22.83 and outpaced the rest of the field by nearly three seconds.

WEEK 3: HOLIDAY INN INVITATIONAL

WEEK 4: JAYHAWK CLASSIC

Bob Devaney Sports Center | Jan. 17-18, 2013 | Lincoln, Neb.

Anschutz Pavilion | Jan. 24, 2014 | Lawrence, Kan.

Victories from senior Natalie Becker and sophomore Sydney Conley were the high points off a solid opening day for the Kansas men’s and women’s track & field squads Friday evening at the Holiday Inn Invitational. Seven Jayhawks turned in career bests and six more advanced through prelims to Saturday finals on day one of the meet held inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

The University of Kansas track & field teams were victorious in 14 events at KU’s final home meet of the indoor campaign, the Jayhawk Classic. Diamond Dixon tallied an NCAA-leading time, while the women’s 4x400-meter relay team moved into the top-15 of the national rankings Friday night inside Anschutz Pavilion.

Sophomore Sydney Conley saw the best indoor performance of her Kansas career Friday night in the long jump. The Fayetteville, Ark., native leaped to a mark of 6.18 meters (20’3½”) on her third trip down the runway to firmly plant herself in the lead as she headed to her last three attempts in the finals. Conley’s winning jump bested the field by nearly a foot and has the Second Team All-American at No. 5 in the most recent national long jump standings.

The men’s middle distance and distance runners also had a successful night on the track. James Wilson kicked things off in the men’s mile with a career run. The Abiline, Kansas product was never challenged over the eight-lap race and crossed the finish in 4:12.57 to beat the rest of the field by 3.5 seconds. The time shaved nearly nine seconds off his previous personal record.

On the track Natalie Becker also turned in a career performance as she ran away from the field in the 3,000 meters. The senior led from start to finish, opening up a lead of more 15 seconds midway through the 1.8mile race. Becker continued to widen her gap over the final 1,000 meters and crossed the finish in a new career-best of 9:40.86. The following day, two more victories from senior Diamond Dixon and a pair of career bests from junior Lindsay Vollmer led the way for the Kansas women as the Jayhawk Track & Field teams competed on the final day of the Holiday Inn Invitational Saturday afternoon. In all, the Jayhawks were victorious in six events at the meet held inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center. In the prelims a day earlier Vollmer posted the fastest qualifying time at 8.55, but made sure Friday that she would not leave Lincoln without taking down her personal record in the event for the second-straight week. Vollmer used the final 20 meters to pull away from the field and cross the finish in 8.45, which shaved .02 seconds off her previous best. Vollmer joined forces with Nashia Baker, Lydia Saggau and Natalie Becker in the distance medley relay. The freshman, Baker, got the team off to a strong start in the 1,200m leg before handing off to Vollmer, who extended the Jayhawks’ lead over her 400-meter leg midway through the race. Becker crossed the finish as the clock read 11:42.06, giving the Jayhawks the victory by nearly 12 seconds. As of Saturday the quartet’s time ranked No. 2 in the NCAA so far this season. Dixon backed up her stellar performance in the 60-meter prelims Friday night with another first place performance in the final Saturday afternoon. After tallying the top qualifying spot in the prelim heats with a personal best time of 7.48, the senior leaned through the finish in the final in nearly identical fashion, winning the race in 7.49. Dixon, along with Alisha Keys, Whitney Adams and Rhavean King passed the baton around in 3:45.61 to post Kansas’ fourth and final victory of the day.

Brendan Soucie followed his teammate’s lead by earning a win of his own in the 800 meters, though his win wasn’t as comfortable as Wilson’s. Soucie had to outpace some formidable challenges from fellow Jayhawks Dalen Fink and Daniel Koech. Soucie and Fink were shoulder-to-shoulder down the final 50-meter stretch, however Soucie managed to out lean his teammate by just .002 seconds to pick up his first win of the year in 1:53.90. Koech wasn’t far behind with a third-place finish, clocking in at a personalbest time of 1:54.18. For the second-consecutive week, sophomore Sydney Conley upped her personal best in the long jump. Conley came into the day with the nation’s fifth-best mark after her win at the Holiday Inn Invitational in Lincoln, Nebraska the previous weekend. The Fayetteville, Arkansas native surpassed the 20’3” mark on three of her six attempts with her top leap coming on her fifth trip down the runway, a mark of 6.25 meters (20’6¼”). The jump was the best of her career and, had it not been for former Jayhawk track & field star Andrea Geubelle, she would have erased the Anschutz facility record. Conley claimed the runner-up finish to her former teammate, Guebelle, who won the event in a facility record of 6.50 meters (21’4”). Conley’s jump moved her up to No. 3 in the latest NCAA ranks and is the best among Big 12 long jumpers this season. In the women’s high jump, Colleen O’Brien returned to the winner’s circle with a personal best performance of her own. The junior needed all three attempts, but she was able to get over the 1.77 meter (5’9¾”) bar, which tied her career high. The mark moved O’Brien up to 26th in the nation and No. 3 in the latest Big 12 standings. Junior Lindsay Vollmer saw herself entered her first combined event of the season as she took part in her first pentathlon since earning second team in All-America honors in the event last March. She kicked off her day strong, running 8.45 in the 60-meter hurdles and clearing 1.75 meters (5’8¾”) in the high jump, both marks being new personal bests in the pentathlon for Vollmer. Dixon, Adams, King and Adriana Newell closed out the night for the KU women strong in the 4x400meter relay. The quartet passed the baton around in a season best time of 3:45.16 to claim the event win in runaway fashion. The team’s time moved them up among the top-15 of the NCAA rankings as Kansas closed out the first month of the year.

2014 IN REVIEW

WEEK 5: ARMORY COLLEGIATE INVITATIONAL

WEEK 6: TYSON INV./ISU CLASSIC

The Armory | Feb. 7-8, 2014 | New York, N.Y.

Feb 14-15, 2014 | Fayetteville, Ark. | Ames, Iowa

Senior sprinter Diamond Dixon posted one of the fastest 500-meter times ever by a collegian as she claimed an easy victory in the event Friday night inside The Armory Track & Field Center. Eleven other Jayhawks turned in personal record performances as both the men’s and women’s squads wrapped up a solid first day at the Armory Collegiate Invitational.

The Kansas men’s and women’s track & field teams saw prosperous opening days at meets in Fayetteville, Arkansas and Ames Iowa Friday. Sophomore Rhavean King posted one of the best all-time performances by a Jayhawk in the 800 meters and was joined by several Jayhawks on both teams to move up the national and conference charts as they competed in two of the most competitive meets of the regular season, the Tyson Invitational and the ISU Classic.

Dixon, who had already elevated her name to top-10 status on the 400 meter and 600 yard national charts this season, looked to repeat that task in her first-career 500-meter race Friday. Not only did she put her name at the top of another NCAA yearly event list, she also made some edits to the all-time collegiate and American 500-meter charts. The 12-time All-American was never threatened in the event as she led the 2.5-lap race from start to finish. She crossed the finish in 1:10.06, two seconds ahead of the runner-up finisher. Her mark improved on Shayla Wilson’s two-year-old school record by over three seconds. The Houston native’s time was also the fastest run by an American in 2014 and put her just .01 seconds from being one of the all-time 10-fastest Americans in the event. In the men’s 500 meters, a pair of Jayhawks were also able to turn in some impressive times. Juniors Kenneth McCuin and Michael Stigler ran neck-and-neck for the majority of the race, however it was McCuin who managed to lean across the line just ahead of his All-American teammate. McCuin clocked in at a personal best 1:02.13, while Stigler was not for behind in 1:02.33 as they finished fourth and fifth, respectively. McCuin’s time was the second-fastest ever by a Jayhawk in the 500 meters. The following day, the Kansas women’s 4x800-meter relay took down the school record that had stood for more than 30 years en route to earning one of four KU victories on the final day of the Armory Collegiate Invitational Saturday. The 11th-ranked Jayhawk women took fourth in the final team scores after amassing 55 points during the two-day meet held inside the history Armory Track & Field Center in New York City. The highlight Saturday for the KU women came from a group of underclassmen in a runaway victory in the 4x800-meter relay. Freshman Whitney Adams, sophomore Kelly McKenna, freshman Lydia Saggau and sophomore Rhavean King teamed up to make school history as they smashed the 34-year-old KU record in the event. King never looked back and extended the Jayhawk lead to nine seconds over the final half-mile. She brought the baton across the finish in 8:51.19 to take the easy victory and smash the previous school record by over five seconds. The quartet’s time was also the fastest by a collegiate squad this year.

WEEK 7: ALEX WILSON INVITATIONAL Loftus Sports Center | Feb. 22, 2014 | South Bend, Ind. The Kansas women’s distance medley relay team posted one of the fastest times in school history at the Alex Wilson Invitational as the Jayhawks got their final tune up before the Big 12 Conference meet the next weekend. Freshman Whitney Adams, sophomores Hannah Richardson and Rhavean King as well as senior Natalie Becker combined to run the third-fastest distance medley relay in school history. The lead-off leg, Richardson, kicked off the race by running a 3:27.0 1,200 meters before handing off to Adams, who completed her 400 meters in 55.6. King then took over for her 800-meter leg and turned in a speedy 2:08.9 split as she left the baton with the anchor, Becker. The senior finished off the race with a 4:42.2 mile and crossed the finish with an overall time of 11:14.63. The mark was the fastest by a Jayhawk squad in four years and has the group among the top-20 in the nation this season. The team will have one more chance to move into the all-important top-12 of the NCAA rankings next week at the Big 12 meet in order to earn a qualifying bid to the National Championships in three weeks. The DMR wasn’t the only group of Jayhawks in action Saturday. Several KU athletes competed in individual events that saw them move up the NCAA charts. Junior Michael Stigler tallied the fastest indoor 400-meter race of his career after completing the quarter-mile race in 47.63 to finish seventh. On the women’s side, freshman Adrianna Newell also saw a career-best 400 meters, clocking in at 56.55 and placing ninth overall. The men’s distance medley relay team also took the track in hopes of climbing up among the best relay groups in the nation. Seniors Brendan Soucie, Dalen Fink and juniors Reid Buchanan and Kenneth McCuin turned in a season-best of 9:55.77, good enough to earn them a 14th-place finish.

King turned in the fastest 800-meter race of her Jayhawk career as she competed in the championship division of the event Friday evening in Arkansas. The Memphis, Tennessee product sat in third with 200 meters to go but slipped a few positions as she rounded the final curve. She then made up some time down the final 50 meters to clock in with a time of 2:10.85, the fastest of her career. The Jayhawk men saw a pair of personal records in their heats of the 400 meters. Juniors Kenneth McCuin and Michael Stigler, like Dixon, were also taking part in their second quarter-mile race of the season. McCuin was up first, running in the 10th of 16 heats, where he turned in a career-best 47.88 to take the win in his heat and place 15th out of 57 runners. Stigler was not far behind his teammate after he posted a time of 48.05, which was good enough to place him first in his heat and 18th overall. For the second-straight night senior Diamond Dixon tallied a season best as she posted a career time in the 200 meters Saturday at the Tyson Invitational. The men’s and women’s track teams left the Randal Tyson Track Center having notched 13 personal bests at the two-day event. For the second week in a row, Dixon shaved time off her personal best in the 200 meters. The senior out of Houston had already seen a successful weekend after notching a season best in the 400 meters Friday, but one-upped that performance in the 200 meters Saturday. She finished her lap on the curved banks of the Tyson Center track in 23.61, which was .22 seconds faster than her previous best set last week in New York. Dixon’s run earned her the victory in her heat and a seventh-place overall finish in the 79-person field. Her time now has her among the top-15 nationally in the event. Dixon is now sitting in the NCAA’s top-15 in three events; the 200 meters, 400 meters, and 600 yards. Several Jayhawks also saw career performances on the final day of the ISU Classic inside the Lied Recreation Center. In his second outing of the indoor season, Reid Buchanan turned in a career performance in the 3,000 meters. The Manhattan, Kansas product completed the 1.8 mile-race in 8:14.50, which was good enough to earn him the runner-up finish. His time was more than 10 seconds faster than his previous best and has him among the top-10 3K runners in the Big 12 this year.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

WEEK 8: BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS Lied Recreation Center | Feb. 28- March 1, 2014 | Ames, Iowa A pair of runner-up finishes from Sydney Conley and Natalia Bartnovskaya as well as a 16-point outing from the KU men’s pole vault group highlighted a successful day one at the Big 12 Indoor Championships Friday inside the Lied Recreation Center. Kansas also saw a host of Jayhawks advance to finals after preliminary action concluded on the track. Of the 16 men’s and women’s track events that held semifinals, Kansas saw athletes qualify for finals in 13 of those events. After six scored events on day one, the Kansas women sit in sixth in the team standings with 25 points. The Jayhawk also men find themselves sixth in the team standings after five day one events with 19 points. Sophomore Syndey Conley added to the recent tradition of a high Kansas finish in the women’s long jump. The Fayetteville, Arkansas native turned in three leaps over 20-feet on the day, which included a top mark of 6.18 meters (20’8½”) on her fourth trip down the runway. Conley was unable to catch TCU’s Lorraine Ugan, who hit the NCAA’s best long jump mark of the indoor season, but had more than enough to earn herself a runner-up finish and eight points for her team’s total. For the second-straight year, the Kansas men’s pole vaulters put up some big points in the event as the group managed to put three of its athletes among the top-five finishers. Defending indoor champion Alex Bishop was once again the top Jayhawk finisher after he tallied a top bar of 5.35 meters (17’6½”). The height wasn’t quite good enough to earn him a second-straight conference title, due to Kansas State’s Kyle Wait and his career best clearance of 5.45 meters (17’10½”), which forced Bishop into a tie for the runner-up finish.

Stigler came across the finish and the time read 1:08.59, signaling the fastest 600-yards in the Big 12’s 18-year history. Senior Natalie Becker took down a school record of her own as she ran to a sixth-place finish in the 3,000 meters. In one of the fastest 3K races in Big 12 history, the St. Louis native posted a time that would have won nine of the 18 Big 12 Championship races. She crossed the finish in 9:20.84, which smashed Rebeka Stowe’s previous school record by nearly 10 seconds. Lindsay Vollmer’s versatility was again on hand as she put up points in both the 60-meter hurdles and the high jump. The junior began her day with a fourth-place finish in the hurdles after she leaned across the finish in 8.46, just .01 seconds off her personal best. Vollmer then headed to the high jump pit where she cleared a top bar of 1.75 meters (5’8¾”). The clearance was good enough to earn the All-American a third-place finish in the event and an additional six points toward the team scoring. Freshman Whitney Adams turned in an impressive performance in her first Big 12 meet final after she ran to a runner-up finish in the 600 yards. Her finish made her the highest scoring freshman for the KU women.

Senior Diamond Dixon and junior Michael Stigler turned in gold medal-winning performances in their respective events Saturday as the Kansas men’s and women’s track & field teams closed out the 2014 Big 12 Indoor Championships. The KU women ended the two-day meet with a third-place finish after amassing 99 points. The Jayhawk men collected 52.5 points which was good enough to earn the squad an eighthplace finish. Dixon came into the day hoping to earn her third-consecutive indoor 400-meter conference title, but it was in the 200 meters where she turned in a gold-medal outing. Dixon entered the final primed for one of the best performances of her already illustrious KU career. Dixon stormed down the final 30 meters to outlean the UT’s Morolake Akinosun by .11 seconds to seal her first-career conference title in the event. Dixon’s time of 23.43 was a career-best and marked the 10th-fastest indoor 200 meters ever run by a KU female. Stigler put up the best 600-yard performance in the Big 12 meet’s history. He was joined by teammate Kenneth McCuin in the event final after the two clocked in with the top two qualifying times in the semifinals Friday. From the gun Stigler was never challenged in the event, racing out to a lead of nearly two strides down the homestretch and winning his first indoor conference title with relative ease over McCuin, who collected the runner-up finish.

WEEK 9: NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Albuquerque Convention Center | March 14-15, 2014 | Albuquerque, N.M. Sophomore Sydney Conley earned a fourth-place finish in the long jump at the NCAA Indoor Championships inside the Albuquerque Convention Center. Conley’s finished earned her First Team All-America honors for the first time in her career. Conley, who entered the meet as the nation’s No. 15 seed, quickly exceeded those expectations. On her first trip down the runway, the Fayetteville, Arkansas native soared to an indoor personal best of 6.26 meters (20’6½”). The jump immediately shot her name to third place for the time being and would eventually keep her among the all-important top-nine, earning her three additional jumps in the finals. In the finals, Conley again surpassed her indoor career best on her fifth attempt when she leaped to a distance of 6.29 meters (20’7¾”). The jump cemented Conley in fourth place where she eventually ended the day and earned the Kansas women five points toward the team point total.

Conley’s finish marked the third-straight season a Kansas long jumper has earned First Team All-America honors at the national indoor championships. In other action Friday, Natalia Bartnovskaya returned to the pole vault runway in hopes of defending her national title from a year ago. After two early clearances at 4.10 meters (13’5¼”) and 4.20 meters (13’9¼”), both on her first attempt, the senior passed at the next bar, trying to strategically place herself in hopes other competitors would faulter. The plan didn’t pan out, however, as she failed to clear the next bar at 4.30 meters (14’1¼”), forcing her to settle for a tie for 10th place. The meet was Bartnovskaya’s last as a Jayhawk as she no longer has eligibility remaining for the outdoor season. Another senior, Diamond Dixon, was in action looking to continue her journey to a second national title in the indoor 400 meters. The Houston product was unable to make it out of the semifinals, however, after she failed to tally one of the eight-fastest times out of the 16-woman field. Dixon took third in her heat and 11th overall after she clocked in with a time of 52.92. On the final day, senior Alex Bishop earned Second Team All-America honors after finishing 15th in the pole vault Saturday night at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Bishop claimed a spot on the second team for the second time in his career after also taking 15th at the outdoor championships last season. Bishop, a native of Scottsdale, Arizona, kicked off his NCAA competition with an easy clearance at the opening height of 5.20 meters (17’0¾”) on his first vault of the day. The national championship field quickly showed it mettle as all 16 competitors, like Bishop, were able to get over the first bar with relative ease. Bishop had a little more trouble with the second height but managed to vault over the bar of 5.30 meters (17’4½”) on his second attempt. Once again though, all 16 competitors were able to get over the bar, putting additional pressure on the senior. The next height in the progression, a bar of 5.40 meters (17’8½”), proved to be too much for Bishop. Despite nearly sliding over on his third attempt, the bar could not stay up, ending his day with a 15th-place finish. Bishop’s finish earned a spot on the All-America second team, the third time in seven years a Jayhawk vaulter has claimed All-America honors in the indoor pole vault. At the end of the meet, the final team standings were tabulated and the Jayhawk women managed to tally a 39th-place finish with the help of Conley’s five points by way of her fourth-place finish in the long jump Friday. The finish marked the fifth-straight year the women’s team placed at the NCAA indoor meet.

2014 IN REVIEW

WEEK 10: TEXAS RELAYS

WEEK 11: STANFORD INV/BATTLE ON THE BAYOU

Mike A. Myers Stadium | March 26-29, 2014 | Austin, Texas

April 4-5, 2014 | Palo Alto, Calif./Baton Rouge, La.

Kansas track & field saw two event victories, a pair of NCAA leading marks and a school record all fall on day two of the 87th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays inside Mike A. Myers Stadium. NCAA heptathlon champion Lindsay Vollmer kicked her outdoor season off strong by claiming the event title while the women’s 4x800meter relay team rewrote the 34-year-old school record in the event.

Kansas senior Natalie Becker ran the fastest 5,000-meter race in school history on a rainy at the Stanford Invitational. The St. Louis, Missouri native crossed the finish line in a blistering time of 16:20.80, which topped the previous KU record, held by All-American Lauren Bonds, by three seconds. In addition to etching her name in the record book, Becker moved inside the top-25 of the NCAA rankings for the 2014 outdoor season.

Competing in her first heptathlon since winning an NCAA title in the event last season, Vollmer put her name back atop the national ranks after a come-from-behind victory on the second day of competition. Vollmer began day two of the event sitting in third place and trailing the leader, Penn State’s Brittney Howell, by 75 points. Over the final three events of the day she steadily chipped away at Howell’s lead. Vollmer posted a long jump mark of 5.88 meters (19’3½”) to start the day, but found herself in an even deeper hole after Howell extend her lead to 142 points with just two events remaining. The Kansas junior then used a strong showing in the javelin to leap Howell in the standings after she posted a top throw of 39.18 meters (128’6”). The mark gave Vollmer a 17-point lead with just the 800 meters remaining. The Penney, Missouri native completed her half-mile race in 2:21.18 and was able to hold off Howell who could only manage to make up two points on the Jayhawk’s lead. Vollmer ended her competition with a winning score of 5,640 points, the highest heptathlon score in the NCAA so far this season and the fourthbest point total in school history. Kansas junior Michael Stigler claimed his second-straight Texas Relays 400-meter hurdle title. Stigler’s winning time marked the fastest in the NCAA this season and the sixth-fastest in the world in 2014. Stigler, who entered the event after running to the top qualifying time in Thursday’s semifinal, was never challenged in the final. The Canyon, Texas native rounded the track and got over the 10 hurdles in 50.08 to beat the rest of the field by .28 seconds. The two-time defending Big 12 champion repeated as the Texas Relays champion and improved upon his nation-leading time in the process. The University of Kansas track & field team saw three compete on fourth and final day Texas Relays. At the meet’s conclusion, Kansas saw four event victors, two NCAA-leading marks and a school record broken during the four-day event held inside Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Becker, who was competing in her second event since breaking the school’s indoor 3,000-meter record at the Big 12 Indoor Championships four weeks ago, found herself up against one of the most competitive 5,000-meter fields of the season when she toed the start line inside the Cobb Track Facility. Despite competing on a surface that had endured rain showers for the majority of the night, Becker managed to complete her 3.1-mile race with one of the best times in the nation this season. The senior posted a 19thplace finish in the race that produced 20 of the top-25 5,000-meter times in the collegiate ranks this year. Becker’s school record mark of 16:20.80 also improved upon her previous career best by over 37 seconds. Three event victories and a host of highly-ranked performances highlighted a solid outing for the men’s and women’s teams at the Battle on the Bayou. Fifteen Jayhawks and three relay teams posted marks that moved them within the top-25 of the NCAA West Regional rankings at the five-team meet held inside Bernie Moore Track Stadium. The Kansas women ended the day with a second-place finish in the scored meet after amassing 133 points. The Jayhawk men took third with 104 points; however, the team was just two points behind second-place Ohio State. One of the more impressive outings of the day came in the meet’s final event when the KU men held off a strong charge by LSU to claim the win in the 4x400-meter relay. The Jayhawk foursome of Michael Stigler, DeMario Johnson, Kenneth McCuin and Jaime Wilson led the race from start to finish, even opening up a lead to as much as 20 meters midway through the competition. The sophomore, Wilson, was forced to contend with a late push from the LSU anchor over the final 100 meters, but held on for the victory after he brought the baton home in 3:09.46. The quartet’s time was a season-best and the seventh-fastest by a team in the West Region the year.

Two Jayhawk women saw solid outings on the track as sophomore Hannah Richardson and senior Natalie Becker took part in the A-Section of the 1,500 meters. The Glendale, Missouri native, Richardson, posted the fastest time of her young Jayhawk career after crossing the finish in 4:24.18. The time was good enough to earn Richardson a 10th-place finish overall.

The Jayhawk women also turned in a solid relay time; however, it was in the shorter 4x100-meter race. The team of Tianna Valentine, Sydney Conley, Zainab Sanni and Diamond Dixon got the baton around in near flawless fashion to finish in 44.67 and place third. The squad’s time was the sixth-fastest in school history and is 13th in the 2014 West Regional standings.

WEEK 12: MESA CLASSIC/SUN ANGEL CLASSIC

WEEK 13: KANSAS RELAYS

April 11-12, 2014 | Tempe, Ariz./Mesa, Ariz.

Rock Chalk Park | April 16-19, 2014 | Lawrence, Kan.

Kansas saw victories in events covering nearly every one of the track & field disciplines, eight to be exact, as the Jayhawks took part in the 35th Annual Sun Angel Classic. Junior pole vaulter Casey Bowen again flirted with history en route to the second victory of his season, while the men’s 4x400-meter relay team turned in their fastest time of the season and elevated their national rank to inside the top-15.

Two Jayhawks competing in their first Kansas Relays notched wins as Kansas track & field competed at the 87th Kansas Relays inside Rock Chalk Park. Sophomore Daina Levy posted her second hammer throw victory as a Jayhawk, while freshman Grace Morgan came from behind over the final 200 meters in to pick up her first collegiate win in the 5,000 meters.

Two weeks removed from his career outing at the Texas Relays, Bowen again proved his name belongs near the top of the NCAA’s pole vault chart. A junior out of Gardner, Kansas Bowen broke the 18-foot barrier for the first time in his career at the meet in Austin, Texas on March 27, and came centimeters away from pulling it off for a second time in less than a month.

Levy was clearly the superior thrower of the day as each of her three fair marks would have won her the competition. The Mississaugu, Ontario native took the early lead on her second trip into the throws ring after posting a toss of 56.47 meters (185’3”). Levy then bettered that mark by over 12 feet on her next attempt as she unleased a mark of 60.14 meters (197’4”). No other competitor would be able to come within 14 feet of that mark, giving her the Kansas Relays’ victory.

Bowen got his day started on the right foot with two quick clearances at 5.21 meters (17’1”) and 5.36 meters (17’7”). He then had to take all three tries at 5.46 meters (17’11”) but got over on his final attempt, which posted the second-highest mark of his career. No other competitor was able to equal Bowen’s top height, giving him his second win of his 2014 campaign. He did get three attempts at 5.56 meters (18’3”) but despite three near makes, was unable to add another clearance on the night. He came just inches away from getting over on two of his attempts, which would have made him the No. 7 performer in the school’s illustrious pole vaulting history.

On the track it was an even younger Jayhawk who shined brightest. The Lawrence native, Morgan, helped produce the loudest roar from the pro-Kansas crowd assembled at Rock Chalk Park as she ran to one of the most exciting finishes of the day. The first-year Jayhawk ran a tactical race for the majority of the event, sticking right behind the leaders for the first 4,700 meters. Over the last three quarters of the final lap, the freshman utilized a strong closing kick to pass three runners in the final 300 meters. Morgan overtook Iowa Central’s Hannah Maina as she entered the final curve and never looked back, coming across the finish in a new personal best of 17:11.88.

Junior Kenneth McCuin had a career night on the Sun Angel Stadium track as he picked up the first outdoor event win of his collegiate career with the help of a personal best in the 400 meters. The Baltimore, Maryland native led his race from the gun and leaned across the finish a quarter-mile later in 46.91. A day earlier at the Mesa Classic, Jayhawks claimed wins in nine events and added one of the top-15 performances in the NCAA. The meet, hosted by Mesa Community College, was the first of two competitions the Jayhawks will compete in this weekend in the greater Phoenix area. Sophomore Hannah Richardson garnered a new career best en route to a victory in the 800 meters. Richardson outpaced teammate and eventual runner-up Maddy Rich down the final 200 meters to earn the win in a time of 2:10.47. Richardson crosses the finish ahead of her fellow Jayhawk, who also saw a personal best (2:12.41) by just under two seconds. On the men’s side, Alex Bishop returned to the winner’s circle in the pole vault. The Arizona native turned in a nearly flawless sheet with first-attempt clearances on each of his first four bars. Bishop cleared a top height of 5.20 meters (17’0¾”) to seal his first win of the outdoor campaign and lead the way for four Jayhawks who finished within the top-five.

The women’s distance medley kicked the race off with a blazing 1,200 meters by the sophomore Hannah Richardson, who gave her team a healthy lead through the first leg with her 3:25.16 split. Adams, a freshman, extended her squad’s lead by tackling the 400-meter stretch of the race in 54.96. King and Becker then only needed to coast home on the final two legs, as King’s 800-meter split of 2:14.80 and Becker’s 1,600-meter leg of 4:56.31 checked the Jayhawks in at 11:31.21. The Jayhawks’ men’s distance medley group followed their female counterparts’ lead by picking up a victory of their own in the event. Brendan Soucie, Dominique Manley, Dalen Fink and Reid Buchanan met little resistance from their competition throughout the 4,000-meter race. The group passed the baton around in 9:59.52 to pick up KU’s fourth-consecutive DMR victory at the Kansas Relays. Kansas track & field saw its athletes win nine different event titles as the Jayhawks closed out the 87th Kansas Relays. Junior Michael Stigler was named the meet’s Most Outstanding Male Performer after his NCAA-leading time in the 400-meter hurdles. In all, Jayhawks claimed titles in 13 events, nine of which came on the meet’s final day.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

WEEK 15: BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS Fuller Track Complex | May 16-18, 2014 | Lubbock, Texas The KU women saw three turn in scoring performances while the men added all-league outings in the javelinand in the 10,000 meters on the first two days of the Big 12 Championships. Junior Lindsay Vollmer also got off to a hot start on day one of the heptathlon, running, jumping and throwing to the overnight lead with his career-high first day score of 3,597 points.

Jessica Maroszek got the Jayhawk women’s day Sunday started on a high note by picking up her secondstraight Big 12 discus title. Her first attempt of the competition ended up being enough to win the event as she threw to a distance of 55.76 meters (182’11”), a mark no other athlete was able to come within three feet of. The senior out of Seymour, Wisconsin cruised through the next four rounds but was unable to improve on her firstattempt throw. That is until her final trip into the ring.

Daina Levy got the Kansas women on the board early in the day as she tallied an all-conference performance in the hammer throw. Levy uncorked a throw of 58.95 meters (193’5”) on her third attempt of the day to slide herself up near the top of the overall leaderboard. The sophomore was unable to improve on her final three attempts in the finals but still managed to notch a fourth-place finish and give her team their first four points of the Championship.

With her victory already in hand, Maroszek launched the implement to a new career-best of 60.18 meters (197’5”), which topped her previous best by over seven feet. The two-time All-American’s mark broke her own school record as well as the Big 12 meet record that had stood for eight years. Maroszek now sits at No. 2 in the NCAA rankings as well as 19th in the world standings.

On the men’s side, junior Johann Swanepoel claimed his third-career All-Big 12 performance after throwing to a fifth-place finish in the event. The All-American’s first throw eventually turned out to be his farthest, hitting a mark of 63.74 meters (209’1”). Swanepoel was able to notch just one more fair throw but was able to pick up the Jayhawk men’s first four points of the weekend.

The men’s pole vault was again a standout event for the KU men as junior Casey Bowen nabbed his first conference title in the event. Bowen was almost flawless on the day after he didn’t record a single foul before the bar he eventually went out on. The Gardner, Kansas native cleared five heights on just five trips down the runway, with his last clearance at a height of 5.49 meters (18’0”).

The following day, a Big 12 title from junior Lindsay Vollmer as well as scoring performances from five Jayhawks in three field events moved the Kansas women to the top of the team standings on day two of the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships Saturday. The Jayhawk women sit in first heading into the final day after collecting 48 points through the first seven events. The Jayhawk men are in eighth with eight points through six events.

When the team scores were tabulated, the Kansas women ended their weekend with a fourth-place finish with their total of 100.5 points.

Vollmer added another prestigious accolade to her already outstanding collegiate résumé as she picked up her second-consecutive Big 12 title in the heptathlon. The junior began the day with a comfortable 75-point lead after the first four events on day one of competition. The tables quickly turned on Vollmer after the first event of day two when Texas Tech’s Shanice Stewart soared to an enormous mark in the long jump. The Red Raider went from 75 points down to 63 points ahead of the Jayhawk All-American with two events remaining. Despite the deficit, Vollmer didn’t waiver as she posted the top mark in the sixth event, the javelin throw. On her first attempt she threw to a distance of 44.12 meters (144’9”), a mark that would end up beating the rest of the field by nearly 23 feet. Vollmer’s performance in the javelin put her back on top in the overall standings by a nearly insurmountable 92 points as she headed into the final event, the 800 meters. In the eighth and final event, the Hamilton, Missouri native cruised to the finish in 2:33.21, several seconds off her personal best but more than enough to earn her the overall heptathlon win. In the 400-meter hurdle final, Stigler again silenced any doubters early in the race, charging out to a noticeable lead through the first 50 meters. The junior came out of the final curve more than two strides ahead of the field but was faced with a strong charge from Baylor’s T.J. Holmes down the homestretch. Stigler was able to hold off the Baylor freshman by .07 seconds, clocking in at 49.91 to claim his third-straight league title.

WEEK 14: WARD HYLETT INV.

MEET 16: NCAA WEST PRELIMINARY

May 3, 2014 | Manhattan, Kan.

John McDonnell Field | May 29-31, 2014 | Fayetteville, Ark.

In their final tune up before the Big 12 Conference meet, the Kansas track & field men’s and women’s teams tallied some impressive performances as they competed at the Ward Haylett Invitational. Jayhawks claimed victories in 17 events and added 21 career bests in the meet that featured in-state rivals Kansas State and Wichita State.

The Kansas women got their first qualifier to the national meet with Sydney Conley’s strong performance in the long jump. The Fayetteville native cruised into the finals with a second attempt leap of 6.15 meters (20’2¼”), which sat her in eighth with three jumps still to come. After fouls on her next two trips down the runway, Conley soared to a mark of 6.25 meters (20’6¼”) on her final jump of the day. Her final attempt moved her up to fifth overall, where she eventually ended her afternoon.

One of the most notable performances came from senior Diamond Dixon, who picked up wins in two events and added a meet record in the process. She started the day in her signature event, the 400 meters. The Houston, Texas native led the race from the gun and completed her quarter-mile lap in 52.45, which earned Dixon her first win of the season in the event, shaved almost two seconds off her previous season-best and bested former Jayhawk Paris Daniels’ meet record. Dixon’s time also moved her up 60 spots on the national performance chart to ninth in the NCAA rankings. The senior returned an hour later in the 200 meters and again impressed as she picked up her second victory of the day with a blazing 23.44, outpacing sophomore teammate Tianna Valentine by .34 seconds. Dixon’s time, which marked the second-fastest of her career in the event, elevated her to seventh in the Big 12 yearly ranks and 23rd in the NCAA West Region. The Jayhawk women also saw one of the best 800-meter outings by two of their athletes as a pair of underclassmen turned in two of the top-five times in school history. Freshman Whitney Adams and sophomore Hannah Richardson jostled for the lead for much of the half-mile race before Adams took control with 300 meters to go and held onto the lead which she held onto through the finish. The St. Louis, Missouri native clocked in at 2:07.84 to earn her first individual win as a Jayhawk, topping her teammate, Richardson, who came across less than a second later at 2:08.62. Adams’ time made her the third-fastest 800-meter performer in school history, while Richardson posted the fifth-best 800-meter time by a Jayhawk. In the men’s 800 meters it was also a career day for senior Brendan Soucie. The Osawatomie, Kansas product broke the 1:50-barrier for the first time en route to a runner-up finish in the event. Soucie completed his two laps in 1:49.70, just .12 seconds behind the winner, Wichita State’s Kelvin Busienei. In the field, it was a banner day for the throwers as Kansas saw a Jayhawk winner in each of the events in which it had someone competing. In the women’s discus throw, senior Jessica Maroszek tallied a seasonbest for the second-straight week as she picked up the event win with another big throw. On her third attempt of the day, the two-time First Team All-American hit a mark of 56.01 meters (183’9”), a toss which was eventually good enough to beat the field by over eight feet. Maroszek’s throw was the third-farthest of her impressive Kansas career and has the senior ranked inside the top-10 of the NCAA ranks as well as first in the Big 12 standings.

A pair of Jayhawks turned in impressive performances to secure their spots at the NCAA Championships in two weeks. One of those athletes was Jessica Maroszek, who made quick work of the rest of the 48-woman field in the discus. The senior, who won her second-straight Big 12 title in the event three weeks ago, only needed three fair attempts to extend her season by two weeks. Her fourth attempt of 54.99 meters (180’5”) was her best of the night and marked the fourth time she has eclipsed the 180-foot mark this year. Michael Stigler again proved he was among the top 400-meter hurdlers in the nation as he earned a spot to his third-straight National meet. The junior has handed an unfamiliar loss in Friday night’s quarterfinal heat after he finished second to Nebraska’s Miles Ukaoma, which ended his undefeated streak of eight-straight 400-meter hurdle wins this year. The Canyon, Texas native clocked in with a time of 49.72 to claim the third-overall qualifying spot out of the West Region. On the final day, after already claiming a spot in the NCAA long jump final earlier in the week, sophomore Sydney Conley joined forces with senior Diamond Dixon, junior Alisha Keys and sophomore Tianna Valentine in the quarterfinals of the 4x100-meter relay. The group entered the event as the No. 11 seed in the west region and the quartet managed to live up to billing as the Jayhawks earned the 11th of 12 qualifying spots out or the West Region. The foursome passed the baton around in 44.75, which earned them a fourth place finish in their quarterfinal heat. The time was good enough to give KU the pass to the national semifinals at the NCAA Championships. In the meet’s final event, the KU men were faced with their final chance to punch a ticket to Eugene as they lined up for the 4x400-meter relay. Sophomore Drew Matthews led off for Kansas and set the tone early, giving Jayhawks the early advantage after the first quarter-mile. Senior DeMario Johnson and sophomore Jaime Wilson were next on the stick and they kept their team well within striking distance heading into the final leg. Michael Stigler, who had already punched his ticket to Nationals in the 400-meter hurdles Friday, anchored the team home and crossed the finish in a season-best 3:07.16, good enough for fourth in the heat but just off an automatic spot. The Jayhawks were then forced to watch two nerve-wracking heats to see if their time was good enough to earn one of three non-automatic qualifying spots. Following the third and final quarterfinal heat Kansas’ time outpaced BYU by .13 seconds to give the Jayhawks the 12th and final spot at Nationals.

2014 IN REVIEW

NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Hayward Field | June 11-14, 2014 | Eugene, Ore. Sophomore Sydney Conley collected First Team All-America honors for the second time in her career after she placed seventh in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships Wednesday evening inside Hayward Field. Conley, who hails from Fayetteville, Arkansas, got her day started strong with a leap that immediately got her among the top-eight in the standings after she hit a mark of 6.25 meters (20’6¼”). She upped her standing two attempts later, soaring to a mark of 6.30 meters (20’8”). Her third jump was good enough to earn her three more attempts as she stood in sixth-place heading into the final. Conley was unable to improve upon her third-attempt mark in the finals, which eventually dropped her to seventh in the standings. Her top mark was only an inch short of earning her a fifth-place finish. Her finish earned the KU women their first two points of the meet and has her team in a tie for 16th after the first day’s events. On the second day of the championships, senior Jessica Maroszek posted a sixth-place finish in the discus at the NCAA Championships. Junior Lindsay Vollmer began her week with the first four events of the heptathlon and sits in second heading into the final day of competition. Maroszek, who hails from Seymour, Wisconsin, came into the day as the nation’s third-ranked collegian in the discus after her school and meet record performance at the Big 12 Championships last month. The senior began her final outing in the Kansas singlet with two solid throws, the second a toss of 54.78 meters (179’9”). Maroszek’s mark elevated her to second place on the overall leaderboard after two rounds of throws, however that’s as high as she was able to climb. Fouls on each of her next four attempts made it impossible for Maroszek to keep her position, bumping her down to sixth over the final rounds of throws, where she eventually ended her day. The finish marked the third time Maroszek posted a top-eight finish in the event at the NCAA Championships and garnered her First Team All-America honors, also for the third time. Maroszek is now the second Jayhawk thrower to attain All-America status on three separate occasions. Vollmer began defense of her NCAA heptathlon title as the event kicked off Thursday. Her first event of the afternoon was a strong one as she posted a time just off her career best in the 100-meter hurdles. The junior crossed the finish in 13.61, only .04 seconds off her personal best. The mark was the fifthfastest of the heptathlon competitors and earned Vollmer 1,034 points after the first event. In the second event, the high jump, Vollmer again come close to a career best after she tallied a top clearance of 1.72 meters (5’7¾”), just an inch shy of her all-time best jump. Sitting in fourth after the high jump, Vollmer made up some ground on the leaders in the shot put. On her first attempt of the competition she posted a throw of 12.24 meters (40’2”), good for 677 points. Her shot performance elevated her to second in the overall standings heading into the final event of the day, the 200 meters.

In the 200 meters, Vollmer raced to the seventh-fastest time among the field, completing her half-lap in 24.82 to pick up her final 903 points of the first day of competition. Vollmer will enter the final three events Friday in secondplace overall with 3,493 points, 193 points behind the leader, Georgia freshman Kendell Williams. Junior Michael Stigler tallied a second-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles for the second-consecutive year on the third day of the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Stigler, who hails from Canyon, Texas, went into the final following a strong outing in the semifinals two days earlier, posting the fastest time out of the eight finals qualifiers. He clocked in with a season-best 49.34, nearly half a second better than the rest of the field. In the final, Stigler found himself running alongside the only man to beat him so far in 2014, Nebraska senior Miles Ukaoma, who topped Stigler at the West Preliminary meet two weeks ago. Both the Jayhawk and Cornhusker got out to nearly equal starts, running stride-for-stride over the first 200 meters. Stiger and Ukaoma emerged from the final curve neck-andneck, but it was the Nebraska veteran who managed to outkick Stigler over the final 100 meters. Ukoama pulled away to win the event in 49.23, with Stigler coming in .67 seconds later at 49.90. Stigler finished as the event’s runner-up for the second-straight year and managed to pick up a top-six finish at the national meet for the third time. Stigler’s finish earned him First Team All-America honors for the third-straight season and marked the first time since 1980 a KU male has collected All-America accolades in a track event on three occasions. A promising start through the first half of the heptathlon ended in disappointment for Lindsay Vollmer after the junior was forced to withdraw following an injury on day two of the competition. Vollmer entered the second day of events in second overall after amassing 3,493 points. In the fifth event and first of day two, the long jump, Vollmer posted a mark on her first attempt, however injured herself on her third trip down the runway. The injury proved too much for the defending national champion to continue, as she was forced to pull out of the competition. The men’s 4x400-meter relay closed out the day of the Jayhawks in the event semifinals. Sophomore Drew Matthews, senior DeMario Johnson, sophomore Jaime Wilson and junior Michael Stigler passed the baton around in 3:12.22 to take eighth in their semifinal heat. The time eventually placed the quartet 23rd out of the 24 semifinal teams, ending the Jayhawks’ run toward the final. The Kansas women’s 4x100-meter relay team wasn’t as fortunate in the semifinals of their event. The foursome of Alisha Keys, Diamond Dixon, Tianna Valentine and Conley entered the meet after clocking in as the meet’s 19th qualifier with their time of 44.75 at the West Regional meet two weeks ago. In the semifinal, the Jayhawks were out to a solid start in the second of three heats, however a troublesome third exchange forced Valentine and Conley outside the exchange zone. Kansas was then unable to finish the race.

USATF OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

U.S. OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Hornet Stadium | June 26-29, 2014 | Sacramento, Calif. Kansas junior Michael Stigler advanced to the 400-meter hurdle final at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships inside Hornet Stadium. Stigler finished third in his semifinal heat and posted the fourth-fastest qualifying overall to earn a spot in Sunday’s final. Stigler, who was the runner-up in the event two weeks ago at the NCAA Championships, punched his ticket to the semifinals by way of a sixth-place performance (50.55) in the first round Friday. Running in the second of two semifinal heats Saturday, the three-time First Team All-American finished strong down the home stretch to nab a third-place finish in 49.86, just .01 seconds behind the second-place finisher. Stigler’s appearance in the final at the USA Championships was the second of his career after he advanced through at the 2012 Olympic Trials on the way to a sixth-place finish. In the finals, Stigler added a runner-up finish at the USA Track & Field Championships to his 2014 résumé as he claimed the silver medal in the 400-meter hurdles Sunday afternoon inside Hornet Stadium. The finish was the best of his young career at the national meet and marked the third-straight year a Jayhawk has earned a spot on the podium in an event at the USA Championships.

2014 ACADEMIC ACCOLADES

Stigler, who hails from Canyon, Texas, was the fourth qualifier out of the semifinals Saturday after posting a time of 49.86. Running out of lane two in the final, Stigler looked right at home running alongside several former Olympic and World Championship medalists. The three-time First Team All-American entered the home straightaway in fifth place, but used a strong kick to storm down the home stretch and pass several runners in the final 60 meters. Stigler crossed the finish in 49.63 to claim the runnerup finish, .7 seconds behind the winner, Johnny Dutch, but .53 seconds ahead of third-place finisher and 2013 NCAA Champion, Reggie Wyatt. The finish marked the highest of Stigler’s career at the national meet and was the best finish by a Kansas male at since Jeff Buckingham won the U.S. title in the pole vault in 1983. Stigler’s performance also marked the third-straight year a Jayhawk has finished on the podium at the USA Championship meet after Andrea Geubelle took triple jump gold a year ago and bronze at the Olympic Trials in 2012.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

Since its inception, the University of Kansas track & field program has been represented by a litany of hall of fame coaches and innovators. Figures such as Bill Easton, Bob Timmons and Stanley Redwine have played pivotal roles in guiding their student-athletes to numerous honors and accolades. Beginning with Fay Moulton, who participated in the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, the Jayhawk track & field program has produced its share of Olympians, All-Americans and conference champions. That legacy continued under the tenures of Brutus Hamilton, Easton, Timmons and Gary Schwartz, individuals who each added memorable moments and accomplishments to the lore of Kansas track & field. Entering his 14th season, Redwine and his assembly of coaches have ushered a new era into the program’s storied history. Through the guidance of Redwine and his staff, the Jayhawks continue to make strides in improving the overall strength of the program. The men’s indoor track team finished eighth at both the 2001 and 2002 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, earning places in the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame along with Coach Redwine. Also during Redwine’s tenure, over 50 KU student-athletes have earned more than 100 All-America awards while rewriting the school record books over 60 times. Since 2008, Redwine has sent over 100 qualifiers to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, which averages out to over 10 qualifiers each season. In 2013 the KU women made history by claiming the program’s first national title. The names and faces have changed throughout the years, but the tradition of Kansas track & field remains as strong as any program in the nation.

THE EARLY YEARS

In addition to the great accomplishments of Jim Ryun, many other Kansas track & field athletes have distinguished themselves internationally. Starting with Moulton in 1904, 28 athletes have represented KU in the Olympic Games. Of those athletes, 10 set world records in their events. Jim Bausch, who lettered in football, basketball and track, was one of the first greats to run track at Kansas. “Jarrin’ Jim,” considered by some to be the best athlete in KU’s history, participated in track from 1929 to 1932. He broke the decathlon world record by scoring 8,462 points at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. That same year, Bausch received the Sullivan Award as the best amateur athlete in America. In addition to track, he was also a tremendous talent in football, being inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame in 1954. In the mid-1930s, Kansas saw the emergence of another soon-to-be world record holder in Glenn Cunningham. After surviving severe burns during a fire as a child, he helped the Jayhawks to Big Six Conference championships in 1931 and 1934. In 1934, he set the world record for both the indoor and outdoor mile. Cunningham ran a 4:08.4 at the Knights of Columbus Games in New York to break the indoor record. His outdoor record was a time of 4:06.7. While he finished fourth in the 1,500 meters at the 1932 Olympics, Cunningham garnered the silver medal at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Between those two events, Cunningham established a world record in the 1,500 meters. In 1934, at an AAU meet in New York, he ran the event in a time of 3:53.3, beating the previous record of 3:55.4. In addition to his world records and Olympic performances, Cunningham received the Sullivan Award in 1933. In 1974, he became one of the first inductees of the National Track & Field Hall of Fame.

EARLY COACHES

In 1901, the KU track & field program began under the direction of Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. After W.O. Hamilton was handed the reins by J.P. Hagerman in 1907, Hamilton led the squad to its first Missouri Valley Conference championship in 1910. Karl Schlademan took control of the program in 1919 and developed the first Jayhawk All-American and NCAA champion. In 1923, Tom Poor won the NCAA high jump and eventually placed fourth in the 1924 Paris Olympics. The Jayhawks nailed down two more Missouri Valley titles in 1927 and 1928 under the direction of Dr. H.J. Huff, who followed Schlademan, coaching the Jayhawks from 1927-29. In the early 1930s, Kansas track great Glenn Cunningham and three-sport letterman “Jarrin’ Jim” Bausch helped lead two Jayhawk teams to conference championships. Brutus Hamilton, one of two head coaches from Kansas in the National Track & Field Hall of Fame, came to Mount Oread in 1930 and led Kansas to two Big Six Outdoor Championships in 1930 and 1931. Bill Hargiss then took over the program and coached KU to the 1934 Indoor and Outdoor Big Six Championships. Hargiss coached KU’s first great shot putter, All-American Elwyn Dees, who was the 1935 NCAA champion. KU’s program leveled off in the war years until 1948 when Kansas hired Bill Easton, former director of the Drake Relays. The Easton era began with distance runner Wes Santee’s success at the 1953 NCAA cross country meet, included the NCAA team championship, and ended with the Olympic performances of Billy Mills and Al Oerter in the 1960s. During his 17-year career, Easton’s cross country and track teams combined to

BOB TIMMONS

win 38 conference titles and won at least one conference title each year. He was only the second collegiate coach to lead his track and cross country teams to a national championship, doing so with cross country in 1953 and track during the 1959 and 1960 seasons. Before he left in 1965, Easton’s track teams had accumulated 41-consecutive dual-meet victories. In all, Easton coached a total of 54 All-Americans and 22 national champions, including 18 champions and 38 All-Americans in track. Easton passed away in October of 1997 at the age of 93. He is still missed greatly today by those associated with the Kansas track & field family. After Easton departed in 1965, KU’s track program was placed in the hands of Bob Timmons. “Timmie’s” teams captured 13 Big Eight indoor titles and 14 outdoor titles. He led the Jayhawks to three NCAA indoor championships in 1966, 1969 and 1970. Timmons’ 1970 outdoor team tied for the national championship with Oregon, BYU and Drake to give him four titles in five years. Timmons’ coaching career included teaching one of the world’s best track athletes in Jim Ryun. Recruited to Kansas by Timmons, his former high school coach, Ryun set world marks in the 1,500 meters, the mile and the 800 meters while wearing the pink and blue. Even though Timmons handed the reins of the KU track program to then-head coach Gary Schwartz in 1988, he still had close ties to the team. In addition to being a loyal supporter at Jayhawk home meets, Timmons also created Rim Rock Farm, Kansas’ cross country course, site of the 1998 NCAA Divisions I and II Cross Country Championships, and home to the 2006 and 2014 Big 12 Cross Country Championships. Timmons donated the course to KU in 2005, where a home meet bearing his name (Bob Timmons Classic) is run every year.

HISTORY

THE POST-WAR YEARS

During the 1940s, World War II was taking its toll on America’s youth reserves, but by 1950 Kansas had another outstanding talent on the squad. Born and raised in Ashland, Kansas, Wes Santee excelled in distance events and cross country running. Santee broke the indoor mile record in 1954 with a time of 4:04.9. He broke his own record the next year with a time of 4:03.8. In the Big Seven Conference, Santee collected three indoor and outdoor records, plus two cross country titles. The mid-1950s saw Kansas enjoying its finest days in the track world. The Jayhawks won eight consecutive indoor and outdoor conference titles (1952-59). Santee led the 1953 cross country team to its first and only NCAA championship. One of the forces on those dominant Jayhawk teams was a discus thrower from Hyde Park, New York. Al Oerter’s career included two NCAA championship titles (1957-58), four Olympic gold medals in four different Olympiads (1956, 1960, 1964 and 1968) and four world records in the discus. Oerter’s best throw came in 1964 at the Mount San Antonio Relays in Walnut, California. He moved past his old record of 205-0.5 with a throw measuring 206-6 ft.

BACK-TO-BACK TITLES

In 1959 and 1960, Kansas extended its dominance over other track programs as it won back-to-back national outdoor championships. The squads were led by four outstanding athletes. Distance expert Billy Mills was the Big Eight cross country champion in 1960 and later took the gold medal in the 10,000 meters at the 1964 Olympics. In a dramatic race, Mills came from behind on the last lap to win. Mills also broke a world record in the six-mile run.

A six-time All-American, sprinter Charlie Tidwell captured four NCAA titles during the two-year span. After winning the 220-yard hurdles title in 1958, Tidwell went on to take the 100-yard dash and the 200-yard hurdles in 1959 and win the 100 and 200 meter crowns the following year. During his career at KU, he set four new world records in the 100-meter dash (10.1), 100-yard dash (9.3), 200-meter low hurdles (22.6) and the 200-yard low hurdles (22.7).

Bill Alley was also a part of those national championship teams. The javelin thrower won the NCAA crown in 1959 and 1960. He broke an American throwing record in 1960 at 273-10.5 ft. Alley traveled to Rome in 1960 for the Olympics, but did not qualify for the finals.

Joining Alley and Mills during those championship years was a hurdler named Cliff Cushman. Cushman’s performance in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1960 Rome Olympic Games earned him a silver medal. He also garnered two All-America awards in the same event in 1959 and 1960.

In addition to Oerter, KU had a premier shot put thrower in the late ‘50s. After capturing the silver medal at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, Bill Nieder went on to take the gold in Rome at the 1960 Olympics. In addition to being the 1955 NCAA champion, Nieder was the first collegiate shot putter to surpass the 60-foot barrier. He broke the world record in 1960 with a throw of 65-7 ft. 1959 NCAA CHAMPIONS AL OERTER

1960 NCAA CHAMPIONS

THE JIM RYUN ERA In the latter part of the 1960s, a new star emerged at KU. Little did Jayhawk fans know that Jim Ryun would become one of the most prolific track figures in history. In 1964, at the age of 17, Ryun became the first high schooler to run a subfour-minute mile. In fact, his high school mile mark of 3:55.3 stood for 31 years. Later in his collegiate career, he would shatter that record and many others. In his spectacular stint at KU from 1965 to 1969, Ryun owned world records in the 880, 1,500, mile and two-mile runs. Outdoors, he established new marks in the 880 yards, 1,500 meters, mile, two-mile, three-mile and the 5,000 meters. At the NCAA Championships, he

captured five titles (four indoor, one outdoor). To this day, he still holds 11 Jayhawk school records. Ryun, who was named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year in 1966, was a three-time Olympian. During the same year, the Wichita, Kansas, native was named the winner of the AAU Sullivan Award for the top-amateur athlete in America. He won the silver medal at the 1968 Olympic Games in the 1,500 meters. In 1972, he was tripped up in the 1,500 and did not qualify for the finals. A winner of three U.S. titles in the mile, Ryun was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1982.

THE MODERN ERA Other Jayhawks stood out during the end of Jim Ryun’s career at Kansas. Gary Ard earned his place in the KU Hall of Fame by capturing three All-America awards in the long jump between 1966 and 1967. He also teamed up with Ben Olison, Dwight Peck and Ryun to break the world sprint medley relay record at the 1967 Texas Relays with a time of 3:15.2. In 1969, Kansas finished first at the NCAA indoor meet and second at the outdoor finals. That team earned a staggering 21 All-America awards between the two relay events. In 1970, Kansas topped its team achievement from the year before by sweeping both the Big Eight and NCAA indoor and outdoor national championship team titles. The Jayhawks were led by a remarkable throwing trio known affectionately as “The Pachyderms” for their physical prowess. Karl Salb, Steve Wilhelm and Doug Knop finished 1-2-3 in the shot put at the 1969 and 1970 NCAA Championships, earning All-America honors in the process. The following year, Kansas completed the Big Eight sweep for the fifth-straight year. In the last quarter of the century, Cliff Wiley was a member of the quartet that broke the world record in the 400-meter relay in 1977. He later was named to the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team. Deon Hogan excelled in the 400-yard dash, as he established a new world record of 46.77 in 1981. Kansas also made its mark in distance running. Craig Watcke was an All-American in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters and was voted the most valuable performer of the 1989 Big Eight Indoor Championships. In addition, Michael Cox captured All-America honors in the mile and the 1,500 meters as well as in cross country.

For a time, the jumping events became KU’s most successful area. From the 1979 season through the 1990s, KU produced 31 men’s All-Americans in the pole vault, high jump, long jump, triple jump, heptathlon and decathlon events. Much of the credit went to vertical jumps coach Rick Attig, who coached at Kansas from 1985 through 2000.

SCOTT HUFFMAN

KU Hall of Famer Jeff Buckingham began the tradition in 1979 by finishing second in the pole vault at the NCAA indoor meet. Buckingham went on to earn three more All-America awards during his career. In 1980, Sonya Owolabi won the NCAA indoor title in the triple jump and finished his outstanding career as a three-time All-American. After Warren Wilhoite finished second and fourth in the long jump during the 1982 and 1983 NCAA indoor seasons, Chris Bohanan and Scott Huffman finished third and fourth, respectively, in the 1986 NCAA indoor pole vault finals. Huffman added a second-place finish in the 1988 event and went on to bigger and better things. In 1993, Huffman won the U.S. Track & Field National Championships and placed fifth at the world championships. A former American pole vault record holder, Huffman joined former Jayhawk sprinter Pierre Lisk (Sierra Leone) at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. At the end of Huffman’s college career, two vaulters stepped in as KU’s leaders. Pat Manson and Cam Miller combined for nine All-America awards from 1987-91. Manson’s leap of 18-8 ft., at the 1989 Big Eight Indoor Championships remains the KU record today. During that season, Manson, Miller and teammate Cedric Fullard averaged a combined height of 18-5 ft., to rank as the best collegiate pole vault trio ever. Another vaulter who saw success at Kansas was two-time indoor All-American John Bazzoni. In 1995, he took honors in both the indoor and outdoor Big Eight pole vaulting championships. Earning All-America honors with Bazzoni in 1995 was high jumper Nick Johannsen. In 2002, KU vaulter Vadim Gvozdetskiy earned All-America honors in the pole vault, while former KU vaulter Jordan Scott was was a national champion in 2010 and a seven-time Big 12 Champion in the event.

On the women’s side, 13 KU jumpers have taken home All-America awards since 1979. Charmane Kuhlman became the first women’s All-American in 1977, finishing second in the long jump at the NCAA Championships. Shawn Corwin was a fourtime recipient in the high jump, earning a pair of runner-up finishes in 1978. Halcyon “Tudie” McKnight earned All-America honors in the long jump three times from 1982-83. The Kansas Relays’ long jump event was renamed the “Halcyon ‘Tudie’ McKnight-Blake Women’s Long Jump” in 1995 to honor McKnight’s accomplishments as a Kansas long jumper. She still owns the Kansas Relays and Memorial Stadium long jump records. Ann O’Connor was named All-America in both the high jump and the heptathlon during her career from 1984-88, while Candace Mason and Andrea Branson were named All-Americans in the NCAA’s inaugural women’s pole vault competition in 1998. In the 2001 season, Branson was awarded All-America status at the indoor championships while Mason would join her in the outdoor championships. More recently, Amy Linnen, Kate Sultanova and Natalia Bartnovskaya brought much success to the pole vault for the Jayhawks in the last decade. In addition to both being named All-Americans in the event, Linnen and Bartnovskaya claimed indoor NCAA championships in 2005 and 2013, respectively. Over the last four seasons Andrea Geubelle raised the bar in the women’s triple jump and long jump. She collected three NCAA titles in the events over her heralded career in Lawrence (2010-13) and rewrote the school record books in the triple jump.

HISTORY

THE RISE OF THE WOMEN’S PROGRAM While the men are entering their 114th year of competition, the women are youthful in comparison. KU women’s track is in its 42nd year as an organized program, having started in 1973. In some ways, the women’s program started out in similar fashion to the men: both programs had no formal guidance in their formative years, and both were led by coaches who gained more notoriety in other sports. Under the direction of former KU women’s basketball coach Marian Washington, the women’s track program was born in 1973. In addition to coaching basketball and track, she also served as the women’s athletics director. Teri Anderson became the fourth women’s coach in 1977. With Anderson at the helm, the KU women reached the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) national championship for the first time. The team also took second at the 1978 Big Eight indoor meet. In 1980, the women were second at both the indoor and outdoor conference championships. Sheila Calmese was one of the first outstanding track & field performers for the women at KU. In 1978, Calmese placed first in the 300-yard dash and second in the 60-yard dash at the AIAW Indoor Championships. That same year, she added a thirdplace finish at the AIAW Outdoor Championships in the 100 meters. She was the first three-time AllAmerican in Kansas women’s track history. Calmese is still fourth all-time in the 100-meter dash in the Kansas outdoor record book.

GARY SCHWARTZ

A 12-year coaching stint filled with numerous championships, All-Americans and fond memories brought exciting times for Kansas track & field fans both near and far. Former head track & field coach Gary Schwartz began his career at Kansas not as a coach, but as an athlete. Schwartz was a Big Eight Conference champion in the discus his junior year and a team co-captain his senior year. In all, the Schwartz era produced 41 All-Americans, 48 NCAA and AIAW appearances and several Olympic notables such as Pierre Lisk. Schwartz was added to the Kansas Hall of Fame in 1989 after leading Kansas to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships and working with the USA Track & Field coaching staff at the 1999 World Outdoor Championships. A past president of the United States Track Coaches Association, Schwartz was respected by his peers and athletes both as a great coach and teacher of Kansas track & field, who always had his student-athletes’ best interests at heart. SHEILA CALMESE

Under Schwartz, Mary Beth Labosky continued KU’s high jump success when she went on to finish sixth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1992. Joining Labosky as an AllAmerican was javelin thrower Heather Berlin, who placed fourth.

Kansas was also paced in the early years by AllAmerican Charmane Kuhlman. Kuhlman finished second in the long jump at the 1978 AIAW Indoor Championships.

Cathy Palacios also left behind a legacy at Kansas in 1992 that surely will be tough to match. Palacios broke four separate school records and earned All-America honors in the indoor mile.

A third standout in the early years was Kansas City, Missouri native Shawn Corwin. Corwin was an AllAmerican high jumper in both 1978 and 1979.

The 1992 and 1993 seasons also brought the Kansas women’s program back into the conference spotlight. KU placed second at the conference indoor meet in 1992, its highest finish in 13 years, and in 1993 placed second in the outdoor meet, the program’s highest finish up to that point.

In 1981, Anderson was replaced by Carla Coffey. Coffey took Kansas to seven national championship meets. Her 1984 indoor team tied for 20th at the NCAA finals. Until recently, the highest the Jayhawks ever placed was in 1979 when they took third at the AIAW indoor meet.

CARLA COFFEY

Under Coffey, Kansas became a national name in the throwing events. In 1984 and 1985, Stine Lerdahl was the Big Eight indoor champion in the shot put. In both those years, she gained All-America status when she placed sixth at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Anne Grethe Baeraas was the first woman at KU to be named an All-American in the javelin during the 1984 season. Denise Buchanan capped a brilliant career at Kansas by being named All-America in the shot put during both the indoor and outdoor season in 1987. She finished fifth at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a toss of 53-4.25 ft., a school record. In fact, Buchanan broke both the indoor and outdoor shot put records at the NCAA finals. Ann O’Connor, a Salina, Kansas native, became an All-American her freshman year in the high jump in 1984. She set the indoor and outdoor record in the high jump while at KU as well as the pentathlon record. In setting her marks in the high jump, O’Connor became the first woman in Kansas track history to clear the 6-0 ft., mark.

In 1994, Kansas tied for second at the Big Eight Indoor Championships. Middle distance runner Kristi Kloster earned All-America honors in the 800 meters at the NCAA indoor meet that year, breaking the school record in the process. After battling through an injury-filled career, Kloster topped her 1994 performance two years later when she won the 800 meters at the 1996 NCAA Indoor Championships. After winning by .004 seconds in a spectacular photo finish, Kloster became KU’s first women’s NCAA track champion and joined Sheila Calmese as the only women to win a national track & field title for Kansas up to that point. Kloster added a third All-America award in the same meet when she ran a leg of the seventh-place distance medley relay team with seniors Melissa Swartz and Kerri Woolheater and junior Latanya Holloway. Swartz picked up an individual All-America award of her own when she placed fifth in the mile. As a result, the KU women finished 15th in the championships, the Jayhawks’ best finish since the 1979 team, which finished third, until 2012. In 1998, Candace Mason became just the third Kansas woman to earn three All-American distinctions when she finished in the top eight in both the pole vault and pentathlon competitions. She also broke the Big 12 and Kansas records in the pole vault, pentathlon and heptathlon. Mason took home two more All-America titles, giving her five total in her illustrious career, the most by any Jayhawk in team history up to that point. In all, Mason would earn three All-America awards in the heptathlon, two more in the pole vault and an academic AllAmerican honor. In 1998, Andrea Branson stepped on the scene and had a productive pole vaulting career of her own. She would go on to win five All-America honors between 1998 and 2000, tying her with Mason for the most in program history. When she left KU, Branson had etched her name in the Kansas record books with the top vault in the history of KU women’s pole vaulting, both indoor and outdoor.

2014 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

THE STANLEY REDWINE ERA With a new look in 2001, the Jayhawk track & field and cross country team came out with a mission to get better, and that was exactly what they did. Under first-year head coach Stanley Redwine, the cross country team had its first NCAA participant since 1998 and recorded the best conference and regional finishes since the inception of the Big 12 Conference. That was just a sign of things to come as the men’s indoor team went on to finish eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships just a year after the team was only able to finish 47th. Through the 2001 indoor and outdoor seasons, KU earned nine All-America awards beginning with Charlie Gruber, who won two; one in the indoor mile and the other as part of the Distance Medley Relay team. Other members of the AllAmerican DMR team included Jabari Wamble, Andy Tate and Brian Blachly. Tate, another two-time winner in 2001, also was recognized as an All-American in the steeplechase. Three highly-talented field athletes won All-America honors that season, including Scott Russell in the weight throw, Ryan Speers in the shot put and Andrea Bulat in the javelin.

The success continued in the 2002 season as the men’s indoor team finished eighth at the NCAA Championships for the second-consecutive year. The team recorded 21 total NCAA qualifiers, celebrated eight Big 12 champions, broke 11 school records and watched senior thrower Scott Russell bring home two individual national titles. Russell was honored as both an Academic All-American and as the 2002 Big 12 Conference Outdoor Performer of the Year. Brooklyn Hann of the women’s team was honored as the conference Newcomer of the Year. LEO BOOKMAN

In 2003, Kansas track & field was in the national spotlight when junior sprinter Leo Bookman won the 200 meter indoor and outdoor national championship titles. The KU coaching staff also watched as 30 of its athletes qualified for the Midwest Regional Championships, including 10 freshmen and five sophomores.

SCOTT RUSSELL

The 2003 outdoor season produced 11 NCAA Championship qualifiers, the largest number of national competitors that Redwine had taken in his first four years at KU. Bookman shined again the next year, once more winning the indoor NCAA title in the 200-meter dash. Bookman broke his own Kansas record in the process with a career-best time of 20.42. Charlie Gruber represented the Jayhawks that summer (2004) in the Athens Olympics, competing for the United States in the 1,500 meters. In 2005, the Jayhawks saw continued success that included four Big 12 individual conference championships, one NCAA individual championship and eight All-Americans. For their efforts, Kate Sultanova was named Big 12 Outdoor Newcomer of the Year, Sheldon Battle was named Big 12 Outdoor Performer of the Year and Redwine garnered Big 12 Outdoor Coach of the Year honors.

Junior Kate Sultanova won the Big 12 title in the pole vault by tying a Big 12 meet record of 13-05.25 ft. Sultanova, though, saved her best for the NCAA Indoor National Championships. Her vault of 14-01.25 ft. earned her third place and tied the Kansas record set by 2005 national champion Amy Linnen. Sultanova’s All-America effort helped the Jayhawks tie for 34th place at the NCAA’s.

The 2006 season saw several Jayhawks collect conference and national accolades. Battle capped off his impressive collegiate career by repeating as the Big 12 indoor shot put champion, and earned All-America status in the indoor shot put and the weight throw. His performances during the outdoor season earned him All-America status in the shot put and hammer throw, capping off his two-year career at KU with six AllAmerica honors. For his performance that season, Battle was named the Midwest Field Athlete of the Year. Also in 2006, the line of great Kansas throwers continued as Egor Agafonov captured the Big 12 crowns in the indoor weight throw and the outdoor hammer, in which he set a new conference record. He went on to earn All-America awards in both events.

On the women’s side, Charisse Bacchus earned All-America accolades with her fifth-place performance in the indoor long jump and her seventh-place result in the outdoor long jump. A total of six Jayhawks earned outdoor All-America awards, coupled with three indoor All-Americans. Other standouts on the women’s team included pole vaulters Amy Linnen and Kate Sultanova and triple jumper Brooklyn Hann. Linnen was the 2005 indoor NCAA champion in the pole vault, becoming the first KU woman to win an individual championship since Kloster in 1996. Sultanova was also impressive in her pole vaulting career, capturing the 2005 Big 12 outdoor championship. Both Linnen and Sultanova garnered All-America honors at the 2005 NCAA outdoor championships. At the same meet, Hann finished eighth in the triple jump, good for All-America accolades. A successful 2007 season was highlighted by one national championship, numerous school records being set and several thrilling performances. During the indoor season, junior Agafonov captured the NCAA Championship in the weight throw with the second-best toss in school history (77-05.25 ft.). Junior Colby Wissel finished seventh in the 3,000-meter run to become the first KU athlete to win All-America honors in the event. Just a few weeks earlier, at the Big 12 Championships, Agafonov defended his Big 12 title in the weight throw, Wissel won the 3,000-meter run and freshman Jordan Scott won the Big 12 Championship in the pole vault with a career-best indoor mark of 17-05.50 ft. Scott, for his efforts throughout the indoor season, was named the Big 12’s Indoor Freshman of the Year. Scott also won the same award during the outdoor season, becoming the first male Jayhawk to win either distinction.

Four other records went by the wayside as Ashley Brown set a new mark in the 60-meter hurdles, Victoria Howard broke the 200 meters record, Zlata Tarasova edged out her own record in the weight throw and Crystal Manning tied the school’s best triple jump. KATE SULTANOVA

HISTORY

In Agafonov’s final season at Kansas, he won his secondconsecutive National Championship in the weight throw, as well as his fifth and sixth All-America honors and his thirdconsecutive Big 12 Championship in both the hammer throw and the weight throw. Although the 2009 campaign featured a youth-driven squad, the Kansas track & field team had several successes throughout the indoor and outdoor seasons. Lauren Bonds set two school records during the indoor season in the 1,000 meters (2:46.60) and the mile (4:43.74). Colby Wissel, a Redwine protege, hit four NCAA qualifying times in three different events during the indoor season, while also cracking the Kansas all-time bests list in the mile, 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters. DIAMOND DIXON

The Jayhawks found a way to match their indoor success during the outdoor season. KU, for the first time in the school’s history, had eight different athletes earn All-America honors as the men finished 18th and the women placed 35th at the NCAA Championships. At the conference championships, six members of the Crimson and Blue were crowned champions, the most for KU since the inception of the Big 12. Ashley Brown, Crystal Manning and Zlata Tarasova led the women to their highest Big 12 finish in team history under Redwine to that point, placing fifth. Agafonov, the Big 12 and Midwest Regional Champion in the hammer throw, was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic AllAmerica team after the conclusion of the season. The 2008 indoor and outdoor seasons proved to be two of the best in KU history for the Jayhawk women. Junior Nickesha Anderson was perhaps the brightest star for Kansas in 2008, leaving her mark in the school record books. During the indoor season, Anderson broke both the 60 and 200-meter dash records on numerous occasions. Her career-best time of 7.22 in the 60 meters earned her the Big 12 Championship in the event. At the outdoor NCAA championships, Anderson (100 meters and 200 meters) and Manning (long jump and triple jump) each won two All-America honors. Only one other woman had accomplished the feat in KU history (Candace Mason). Anderson went on to earn a spot in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, as a member of Jamaica’s 4x100-meter relay team.

2013 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Pole vaulter Jordan Scott was crowned Big 12 Indoor Champion for the third-consecutive year after he matched the third-highest mark in school history at 18-02.50 ft. at the league championship meet in College Station, Texas. Scott followed that performance with a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships, where he earned All-America honors for the second time in his career. Beginning in 2008, KU coaches hit the recruiting trail harder than ever, targeting some of the top high school athletes in the country. Their hard work paid off as the athletes that came on board in 2010 and 2011 have accounted for over 40 AllAmerica honors. Thrower Mason Finley was a big part of the youth resurgence as he claimed four conference championships and was named an All-American eight times in three seasons as a Jayhawk.

champions in their events. Geubelle’s and Dixon’s wins were the first individual championships since Amy Linnen’s pole vault victory in 2005. With Geubelle’s and Dixon’s titles along with First Team AllAmerica performances from Francine Simpson and Geubelle in the long jump and the 4x400-meter relay team, the women’s squad finished as the NCAA Indoor Runner-Up, the best finish for either a men’s or women’s KU team since 1975. The high finish vaulted the KU women into the national spotlight over the next 15 months as the team entered the 2013 campaign as one on a short list of favorites to win a national championship. The women made history early in the year with their first conference title at the Indoor Big 12 Championships in February, going on to claim their second-straight national runner-up finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships two weeks later. That set the stage for an outdoor season to remember, one which saw the KU women accomplish feats never before seen by a female program at the University of Kansas. In May, the Jayhawks completed the sweep by winning the Outdoor conference championship with the help of eight individual Big 12 titles. A month later, sitting as the nation’s top-ranked squad, Kansas ventured to Eugene, Oregon where it would spend four memorable days at the NCAA Championships. The Jayhawks accumulated 60 points throughout the meet, most of which came from Andrea Geubelle and Lindsay Vollmer.

From 2011-13 the Kansas women’s program hit an all-time high, turning out All-Americans, conference champions and a national championship, the likes of which the Jayhawks had never seen. With several strong recruiting classes in a row, Redwine, along with his assistants, helped the women work their way up to national prominance.

Geubelle tallied runner-up finishes in both the long jump and triple jump while Vollmer became the first KU female to take home an outdoor national title. The sophomore posted personal bests in six of the seven heptathlon events to earn the win and add 10 points to her team’s total. At the end of the final day Kansas had defeated second-place Texas A&M by the wide margin of 16 points.

It began with the women claiming third at the conference indoor championships as they boasted six individual champions and tied their highest-ever finish at the indoor Big 12 meet in 2012.

The team win marked the first national championship in program history and the first by a KU squad since the men took the NCAA crown in 1970. The women saw a team record 11 Jayhawks earn First Team All-America honors in 10 events.

The women’s performance at the conference meet set the stage for the team at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Junior Andrea Geubelle and sophomore Diamond Dixon executed school-record performances in the triple jump and 400 meters, respectively, as each were crowned national

The KU title also marked the first time in NCAA history a school located above the Mason-Dixon Line had won an outdoor national championship.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

THE KANSAS RELAYS With the construction of Memorial Stadium in 1921, equipped with a quarter-mile track, plans were put in motion for the event. On April 20, 1923, the first Kansas Relays, under the direction of John Outland, Athletics director Phog Allen and Kansas track coach Karl Schlademan, were conducted. More than 600 athletes from across the nation competed. Outland became known as the “Father of the Kansas Relays.” The first decade of the Kansas Relays saw the participation of such outstanding performers as Tom Poor, Jim Bausch and Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, Ed Weir of Nebraska, Jack Elder of Notre Dame and Tom Churchill of Oklahoma. Poor won the first Relays high jump at 6-0.25 ft., and later placed fourth at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, France. Weir, a Cornhusker football star, set a world record (15.0) in the 120-meter high hurdles. Churchill and Bausch, also football stars, won consecutive decathlons in 1928-29 and 1931-32, respectively. Cunningham dominated the distance events in the mid-1930s, winning the mile run in 193435, and the two-mile in 1932, 1933 and 1936. Bausch and Cunningham both competed in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, with Bausch winning the gold in the decathlon. In 1936, Glen Morris of the Denver Athletic Club broke the American record in the decathlon with 7,576 points, defeating Kansas Olympian Clyde Coffman and Chicago’s Jay Berwanger, college football’s first Heisman Trophy winner. Dr. James Naismith, known as the father of basketball; Kansas basketball All-American Adolph Rupp; Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne and famed Kansas and Michigan football coach Fielding Yost appeared in the early days of the Relays as referees and officials. The 1940s ushered in the retirement of Cunningham who ran his last Relays in 1940.

World War II made a major impact on the nation and caused the cancellation of the track event from 1943-45. The Relays were rekindled in 1946 as Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace College (Ohio) won the 120 high hurdles in 1946 and 1948, the latter setting a world record. The Relays were in full stride in the 1950s with the presence of Kansas head coach Bill Easton, who came from Drake in 1948. It was the beginning of the Jayhawks’ dominance in the conference and Midwest relays circuit. Two top Kansas athletes came in the form of weightman Al Oerter and distance ace Wes Santee. Oerter, who went on to win four Olympic golds, won consecutive Relays shot put titles in 1956, 1957 and 1958. Santee, who followed in Cunningham’s footsteps, became the only athlete to win the Most Outstanding Performer award at the Kansas, Drake and Texas Relays in the same year. Santee won the Kansas Relays title in 1952 and 1954, and registered the second-fastest American time ever in the mile in 1954. Also a part of the Relays was the State of Kansas interscholastic meet featuring Sunflower State high school competition. The event began in 1904 and was split between large and small school classes. The division was dropped in 1958 and the competition among schools of all sizes produced some of the best high school marks at that time. While the state of Kansas began competitions among the various classes later on, the Kansas Relays has still retained the high school portion of the meet as high school athletes from Kansas and neighboring states still compete today. The 1960s saw a changing of the guard in Kansas track and field as Easton was replaced by Bob Timmons as head coach in 1965. Kansas continued its dominance of the conference with the appearance of Wichita, Kan., native Jim Ryun. Perhaps the most decorated Jayhawk track athlete ever, Ryun has four Kansas Relays Most Outstanding Performer titles to his credit (1966-67-69-71). He is the only athlete to take home the honor on four occasions. In 1967, Ryun set the current Relays record in the mile run at 3:54.94.

The 1970s saw the world’s top sprinters come to the Kansas Relays as Missouri and professional football standout Mel Gray won three university titles in the 100-yard dash (1969-71). In the open 100-yard dash, Olympians John Carlos, Herb Washington and Ivory Crockett each took titles in the early portion of the decade. One familiar competitor from Graceland (Iowa) College who later gained fame as a 1976 Olympic gold medalist was decathlete Bruce Jenner. The 1971 winner as a collegian, he also won the 1974 crown. His 8,240 points stood as a record until 1983. Female athletes made their first appearance in 1962 in a limited number of events. By 1976 a full array of women’s events were sponsored. Perhaps the most dominant performer ever on the women’s side was former Nebraska standout and Olympian Merlene Ottey. She won Most Outstanding Performer titles in 1981, 1982 and 1983 and still owns the 100- and 200-meter dash records. Former Iowa State standout and Olympic gold medalist Nawal El Moutawakel of Morocco set a collegiate record in the 400-meter hurdles in 1984. The 1980s continued the stream of top athletes to Mount Oread, including a contingent from

JOHN OUTLAND

THE FATHER OF THE KANSAS RELAYS The concept of a major track & field meet at the University of Kansas was first espoused by legendary Kansas football coach John Outland. Outland grew up in the East and became heavily involved with the Penn Relays as a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1920, it was Outland’s urging to then-athletics director and basketball coach Phog Allen that a major Midwest competition could be successful and three years later the first meet took place.

Outland’s vision quickly became reality and grew through the decades as one of the top collegiate meets in the nation. The KU Relays evolved into one of three premier collegiate meets in the nation, joining the Penn Relays and the Texas Relays as a destination for hundreds of collegiate athletes. Even after leaving the University of Kansas, Outland still returned for many years as the honorary referee of the events.

the Soviet Union in 1983. Many of the top Olympians made the historic journey to Lawrence and smashed several records. Pole vaulter Joe Dial set the university and invitational vault records en route to being named the men’s outstanding performer in 1985 and 1987. Dial was also the first high school athlete to be named the Relays’ outstanding performer when he competed for Marlow (Oklahoma) High in 1980. Nineteen ninety-six KU Olympian Scott Huffman etched his name in the Relays history book by being named the outstanding performer in 1988. A combination of speed and distance marked the Kansas Relays in the 1990s. After Drake sprinter Kevin Little and Kansas State AllAmerica thrower Angie Miller were recognized as the top performers in 1990, Barton County Community College athletes won four of the next six outstanding performer awards. Barton County’s Inez Turner took the honor twice, winning back-to-back honors in 1992 and 1993. Kansas looked strong in both team and individual accomplishments during the Relays of the late 90’s. All-American Michael Cox was named the men’s outstanding performer three times in that span. He earned his first two awards in 1992 and 1995 as a member of the KU track team, and in 1996, Cox returned to win his third award after finishing with a time of 3:59.20 and becoming the first Kansas runner to complete the mile in under four minutes at the Kansas Relays since Jim Ryun did so in 1972. In 1994, KU swept the men’s and women’s collegiate team titles. Also, Natasha Shafer became the first Kansas woman to be named outstanding performer. Jayhawk hurdler Dawn Steele-Slavens duplicated Shafer’s effort by winning the award in 1995. The 1996 Relays also featured a new event as the women’s pole vault was held for the first time. Stacy Dragila, the top-ranked vaulter in America, won the event and set the American

HISTORY

record by clearing 13-6.50 ft. Her effort enabled her to be named the 1996 women’s outstanding performer. The 1997 event was a successful one for KU. Not only did the team earn several individual titles, but the men were named university Relays champions. Ninteen ninety-seven marked the inaugural running of the women’s 3,000-meter Steeplechase, and the event also saw Kevin Toth (unattached), who was named the men’s most outstanding performer, shatter the Relays’ 24-year-old shot put record. Toth’s throw of 71-2.50 ft. made him the 1997 world leader. After a break in competition due to construction on Memorial Stadium, the Kansas Relays returned in 2000 with the excitement and energy that fans had enjoyed in years past. Since the turn of the century, the eventual 2000 Olympic gold-medal winner in the 100 meters, Maurice Greene, set a new stadium and meet record in the 400-meter relay with a blazing time of 38.45 seconds. The 2001 Relays, ‘An Olympic Return,’ saw some big names make their way back to their old stomping grounds. Former Kansas greats Jim Ryun and Wes Santee excited the crowd with a traditional lap around Memorial Stadium as several Kansas legends and Olympians, including Billy Mills and Jim Hershberger, gathered to sign autographs for fans and present awards to the winning teams. Day three of the Relays was one of recordbreaking performances. Eight Kansas Relays records were broken along with a Memorial Stadium record in the women’s shot put by Kansas State’s Rebekah Green. The 2005 Relays were one of the more anticipated events in its history. Several records fell during the three-day meet. Dominique Arnold and Muna Lee, both of Team Nike, broke Relays records in the 110-meter hurdles (13.33) and the 100-meter dash (11.1), respectively. Both were named the 2005 Kansas Relays Most Outstanding Performers for their efforts. Two-thousand and five also saw the addition of the GOLDZONE, a three-hour window in the meet that featured over 30 former Olympians. The second-largest crowd in Kansas Relays history (24,200) watched as several worldclass athletes performed at the highest level, including Maurice Greene, Marion Jones, Amy Acuff and Charlie Gruber.

At the past seven Relays, over 100,000 combined track and field fans have passed through the gates at Memorial Stadium. The GOLDZONE continued in 2007, the 80th edition of the Kansas Relays, as some of the greatest athletes in the world continued to flock to Lawrence in order to etch their names alongside the legendary track & field athletes who have covered the past 80 years of the Kansas Relays. In 2011, Kansas officials added a new feature to the Relays’ schedule: shot put and long jump competition, held on the streets of downtown Lawrence. Hundreds of fans enjoyed the events, which brought in many elite athletes including seven of the top 15 throwers in the world. The 85th Relays in 2012 featured another historical moment as fans saw the world record broken for the largest single serving of nachos. On the track, Bershawn “Batman” Jackson shined again, winning the 400-meter hurdles for the seventh time while Reese Hoffa took the trophy at the second Downtown Shot Put event. Hoffa went on to claim bronze at the 2012 London Olympics. In its final meet inside Memorial Stadium, the 2013 Kansas Relays was one to remember as a world-leading 400-meter hurdle time by Michael Tinsley and three individual titles by Lawrence Free State’s Alexa Harmon-Thomas highlighted the week’s performances. The duo’s outings earned them Outstanding Performers of the Meet accolades. The Relays turned the page to a new chapter as when it moved from its 86-year Memorial Stadium home to the brand new, state-of-theart track & field facility at Rock Chalk Park in 2014. More than 12,000 fans packed the new home of the historic meet and saw standout performances from host of collegiate and high school stars. Kansas’ Michael Stigler was the Most Outstanding Male Performer after his NCAA-leading performance in the 400-meter hurdles and Pine Creek High School’s Ally Watt was dubbed the meet’s Most Outstanding Female Performer after her victory in the 100-meter dash as well as anchor legs on the winning 4x100-meter and 4x200-meter relays.

VOLLMER’S RUN TO A CHAMPIONSHIP On an early Friday in June of 2013, sophomore Lindsay Vollmer made Kansas track & field history by becoming the first female to win an NCAA outdoor individual championship after she claimed the heptathlon title at the national championships in Eugene, Oregon.

SHEILA CALMESE

The Hamilton, Missouri native posted personal bests in all but one of the seven events throughout the two-day event. Still trailing after the fifth event, Vollmer unleashed a mamouth throw in the javelin, besting the rest of the heptathlon field by more than five feet and jumping into the lead heading into the seventh and final event, the 800 meters.

Vollmer again posted an enormous personal best, completing the two laps in 2:19.36. The time earned her the final 832 points of the competition and was just enough to outpace Arkansas’ Makeba Alcide in the final standings by 36 points. Vollmer’s final score of 6,086 made her the No. 10 performer in NCAA history and was the ninth time in NCAA Championship history a female as broken the 6,000-point barrier. She beat or tied her former lifetime bests in six of the seven events to down her previous heptathlon personal record by more than 400 points. She also erased Candace Mason’s 1999 school record of 5,674 points.

2015 KANSAS TRACK & FIELD

COMPLIANCE 101: UNDERSTANDING THE “RULES OF THE GAME” With the continued success of Kansas Athletics, the Athletic Compliance Office wants you to understand how you can help KU coaches and student-athletes. Institutional control of athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA legislation. Specifically, the NCAA constitution provides that each institution shall be responsible for: • •

•

Controlling its intercollegiate athletics program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA. Monitoring its program to ensure compliance with identifying and reporting to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved and taking appropriate corrective action. Ensuring that members of the institution’s staff, student-athletes and other individuals or groups representing the institution’s athletics interests comply with all applicable NCAA rules.

Under NCAA rules, KU is responsible for all actions of its boosters. Therefore, it is also our responsibility to make you aware of consequences for violating the rules pertaining to permissible booster activity. Boosters found in violation are subject to losing benefits and privileges, including season tickets. In addition, the NCAA Committee on Infractions has required institutions to disassociate boosters who have violated NCAA rules and regulations from the institution. COMPLIANCE TERMINOLOGY BOOSTERS. You are a representative of KU’s athletics interests, more commonly known as a “booster,” if you meet any of the following conditions: • • • • • •

You are a member of any organization that promotes KU’s athletics program (e.g., Williams Education Fund); You have made a financial contribution to the KU athletics department or its booster organization; You have assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes for KU; You have provided benefits (e.g., summer jobs or occasional family meals) to enrolled student-athletes; You are the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of an enrolled student-athlete; or You have, in any way, promoted the athletics program at KU.

Remember: Once an individual has been identified as a booster, he or she retains this identity indefinitely. Even if you are not a booster as defined by the NCAA, know that your actions involving student-athletes can cause violations of NCAA rules. Something as simple as buying a student-athlete lunch at a fast food restaurant is, most likely, a NCAA violation. Please contact the Athletic Compliance Office with your questions regarding impermissible recruiting inducements and extra benefits. PROSPECTS. A prospective student-athlete, commonly known as a “prospect” or “recruit,” is any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospect if the institution contacts the student

for recruiting purposes or provides the student (or the student’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not generally provide to all prospective students. In addition, studentathletes enrolled in preparatory schools or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes. Remember: A prospect remains a prospect even after he or she signs a National Letter of Intent or Financial Aid Agreement to attend KU. The prospect does not lose this status until the start of classes at the university or until the beginning of official practice prior to the start of classes, whichever occurs first. After classes or official practice begins, the prospective student-athlete then simply becomes a student-athlete. CONTACT. A “contact” is a face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent, relative or legal guardian and institutional staff member or athletics representative during which dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. However, any such face-toface encounter on the KU campus or during a KU event that is prearranged, or takes place on the grounds of the prospect’s educational institution or at the site of an organized competition or practice involving the prospect or the prospect’s high school, preparatory school, twoyear college or all-star team, shall be considered a contact, regardless of the content of the conversation that occurs. TELEPHONE/ELECTRONIC CORRESPONDENCE CONTACT. The restriction on contact extends to telephone and electronic correspondence. Any contact by you or any other booster, alumnus or other representative of athletics interest via these modes of comunication is prohibited. Electronic correspondence includes, but not limited to, text messaging or any application that functions as a text message (i.e. snapchat), email, any social media methods (i.e. Facebook, Twitter), chat rooms and instant message. Telephone contact is any electronically-transmitted voice exchange including, but not limited to, calls and video conferenceing such as as Skype and Facetime.

EMPLOYMENT. It is permissible for an athletics representative or alumnus/alumna to contact a prospect regarding summer employment prior to initial enrollment provided the prospect has signed a National Letter of Intent. However, no contact may be made without approval from the Athletic Compliance Office. In addition, the employment arrangement for the prospect may not begin until the prospect has graduated from high school. If the prospect is attending a two-year institution, the employment may not begin prior to the time that the prospect has officially withdrawn from or has completed the requirements for graduation at the two-year college. EXTRA BENEFITS. It is not permissible to provide any type of assistance to a prospect — financial or otherwise. A representative of Kansas Athletics’ interests or a “booster” may not provide ANYTHING to a prospect, their friends or family, even if the prospect has a signed National Letter of Intent or a Financial Aid Agreement. STUDENT-ATHLETE. A student-athlete is any University of Kansas student who is a member of a varsity athletics team. EXTRA BENEFITS. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or booster to provide a student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends with a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA legislation. It is a violation of the NCAA rules to provide an extra benefit to a student-athlete. OCCASIONAL MEAL. You may provide a student-athlete or a team with an occasional meal at your home. This meal can be catered and you may provide the studentathletes with transportation to attend the meal. All occasional meals must be pre-approved by the Athletic Compliance Office.

RECRUITING. Any contact by you or any other booster, alumnus or other representative of Kansas Athletics’ interests for the purpose of recruitment, is strictly and clearly prohibited.

Together, the University of Kansas and YOU will make this program a success. These reminders will help guide you and ensure that Kansas Athletics operates within the rules and regulations of the NCAA as we continue toward our ultimate goal of academic and athletics excellence. If in doubt, remember that in most cases any contact with or benefits given to a prospect or an enrolled student-athlete or their family or friends is strictly prohibited.

It is not permissible for any member of Kansas Athletics’ staff, alumnus or booster to contact a student-athlete at another institution for the purpose of recruitment. A student-athlete who is attending another institution must receive written permission from their institution before they can have contact with the University of Kansas.

FOR SPECIFIC NCAA RULE INTERPRETATIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE ATHLETIC COMPLIANCE OFFICE:

If you know of a prospective student-athlete who may want to attend KU, we encourage you to call the appropriate coach. Contacting a KU coach is the only permissible recruiting activity in which boosters may participate.
