TRACK & FIELD

2017 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.

2017 NCAA OUTDOOR Championship Qualifying Like the indoor championship qualifying, there will be no regional or national qualifying standards for the 2016 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 25-27.

Traditions

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

Hail to Old KU!

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.

“GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT AND THE BEST WILL COME BACK TO YOU.”

PHOG ALLEN

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 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.”

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.

Already a member of the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame, Stanley Redwine is a living legend in Jayhawk country and one of the most well-respected coaches in the United States. A former All-American himself at the University of Arkansas, Redwine has coached 109 individual conference champions, 168 athletes to All-America honors, 16 individual national champions and two teams to Big 12 titles. After the historical season for the 201213 women’s track & field team, Redwine was named the NCAA’s Women’s Head Coach of the Year for the first time in his career. Redwine, a three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year, has coached 17 individual National Champions (16 at Kansas), 175 All-Americans (168 at KU), eight Olympians (all at KU) and 23 National Championship teams between his years as head coach at Kansas and Tulsa and an assistant coach at Arkansas.

In the 2008 indoor track & field season, Kansas was just one of 10 schools to have both its men’s and women’s teams finish in the top 25 at the NCAA Championships. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, senior Crystal Manning (long jump and triple jump) and junior Nickesha Anderson (100 meters and 200 meters) each won two All-America honors. Only one other woman (Candace Mason) had previously accomplished the feat in KU history. As an athlete, Redwine placed his name in the Arkansas history books as a 400-meter, 600yard and 800-meter runner from 1980-83. Redwine was a four-time All-American and was named UA’s Outstanding Track Athlete all four of his years in Fayetteville. Redwine went on to spend nine years as an assistant coach at his alma mater.

Geubelle (long jump) and Eric Fattig (triple jump) each were All-Americans during the outdoor season. In 2008, Redwine coached 12 track & field AllAmericans, which was then the most he had coached in one season in his time at Kansas. In the summer of 2008 in Beijing, China, Redwine athletes Scott Russell and Nickesha Anderson represented their respective countries in the Games of the XXIX (29th) Olympiad. Russell finished in 10th place for Canada in the men’s javelin, while Anderson was an alternate on Jamaica’s women’s 4x100-meter relay team.

During his tenure, the Razorbacks captured nine consecutive NCAA Championships and 22 titles from 1985 to 1994 in both track & field and cross country. He helped produce 14 All-Americans and two NCAA Champions in the hurdle and sprint events. Among those AllAmericans were two-time 400-meter NCAA indoor and outdoor champion Calvin Davis, three-time 400-meter and 500-meter NCAA champion Robbie Haley and seven-time AllAmerican sprinter Jimmy French. His success as an assistant earned him the head coaching position at the University of Tulsa in 1994. In six years at Tulsa, Redwine’s athletes broke more than 70 school records, most on multiple occasions. He produced 11 NCAA qualifiers and Tulsa’s first-ever AllAmerican. On May 25, 2000, Redwine was rewarded for his efforts by being hired as the head coach at the University of Kansas. The Jayhawks’ track & field program has prospered ever since, as he has restored the tradition of KU’s illustrious past.

She also garnered league titles in the weight and hammer throws in 2016 and notched a third-place finish in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The 2016 season also saw Kokhanovsky pupil Mitch Cooper take down one of the school’s longest standing records.

In 2015, Whittlesey helped lead the KU women’s cross country team to the program’s first appearance at the NCAA Championships. Whittlesey has mentored 10 Jayhawks to AllAmerica honors on the track and has seen five of his athletes break school records (Lauren Bonds - indoor mile, indoor 3,000m, outdoor 1,500m, outdoor 5,000m; Amanda Miller - indoor 5,000m, Rebeka Stowe - indoor 3,000m, 3,000m Steeplechase and Natalie Becker - indoor 3,000m, outdoor 5,000m; Sharon Lokedi - indoor 5,000m, outdoor 10,000m). In 2010 the Kansas women’s distance medley relay team composed of Lauren Bonds, Rebeka Stowe, Cori Christensen and Taylor Washington earned AllAmerica status at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Whittlesey’s most decorated Jayhawk, Stowe, was the 2012 Big 12 Champion in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase and broke the school record in the event on numerous occasions. She earned First Team All-America honors at the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships with her top-12 finishes in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase. Stowe

was also a two-time All-Big 12 honoree on the cross country course. Whittlesey mentored Bonds to an outstanding 2010 senior season as she claimed the Big 12 Outdoor title in the 1,500 meters and went on to earn AllAmerica honors by taking seventh at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. En route to earning AllAmerica status honors, Bonds set a new KU record in the event with her time of 4:14.29. Bonds also had a fine year off the track as she was named an Academic All-American and was a finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year. The 2010 cross country season featured junior Donny Wasinger advancing as an individual to the national championship meet. Both Kansas cross country teams finished seventh at the 2010 Big 12 Cross Country Championships. Whittlesey came to KU after serving 11 years as the assistant coach in charge of cross country and distance running for the track program at North Carolina. In addition to his coaching duties, Whittlesey worked as the assistant director for both men’s and women’s track & field and cross country for his last four seasons at UNC. Under his direction, North Carolina middle distance/ distance produced nine NCAA champions in six years, 70 All-Americans and 36 conference champions. Whittlesey led the track team to backto-back NCAA titles in the distance medley relay at the 2006 and 2007 Indoor NCAA Championships. Along with the 2007 distance medley relay title, Whittlesey coached sophomore anchor Brie Felnagle to the individual NCAA title in the outdoor 1,500 meters. Under the guidance of Whittlesey, Felnagle captured three NCAA titles and was named an All-American 10 times in her career.

HONORS & ACHIEVEMENTS • • •

Whittlesey and his wife, Carol, have two children: 12-year-old daughter Samantha and 10-year-old son Ryan.

Whittlesey twice won both the ACC Cross Country Coach of the Year and Southeast Region Coach of the Year awards, earning each in 1999 and 2003.

•

Whittlesey’s competitive experience includes being the first American finisher in the 1995 Boston Marathon. He also qualified for the 1996 Olympic Trials in the marathon after competing as a non-recruited athlete at the University of Connecticut. He graduated from UConn in May 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in sports medicine/athletic training and later earned a master’s in biophysical science/exercise physiology in 1993. In 1997, Whittlesey received a doctorate of philosophy in sports science/ exercise physiology from UConn.

•

Whittlesey also coached standout runner Alice Schmidt, who was a two-time national champion in the outdoor 800 and the first North Carolina track & field athlete to win a NCAA title in the same event twice. Both Schmidt and Flanagan went on to earn places on the 2005 U.S. Track & Field World Championship team, while Donohue earned AllAmerica status in both cross country and track.

A native of Morris, Connecticut, Whittlesey started his coaching career at UConn as a graduate assistant, where he assisted with distance and was a pole vault and multi-event coach. He then served two years at UNCCharlotte where he worked as an assistant coach. While with the 49ers, Whittlesey led his athletes to 53 new school records in 18 different events and coached all-conference performers in the triple jump and javelin.

• •

Perhaps no other athlete thrived under Whittlesey more than Shalane Flanagan. Flanagan was the NCAA cross country champion in 2002 and 2003. Not only was Flanagan the first Carolina woman to ever take the cross country national championship, but she was only the third woman in NCAA history to successfully defend her title. A three-time recipient of the NCAA Cross Country Athlete of the Year award, Flanagan also excelled on the track. She won a pair of indoor national championships in 2003. Individually, she claimed the title in the 3,000 meters and then teamed up with Erin Donohue, Anissa Gainey and Alice Schmidt to take first-place honors in the distance medley relay. Flanagan also earned a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic 5,000 team before claiming a bronze medal in the 10,000 at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Dr. Sheahon (SHAY-un) Zenger’s genuine care for coaches and student-athletes has hallmarked his career in intercollegiate athletics. That care, which he has exhibited since his arrival as Athletics Director in January 2011, has helped KU’s coaches and student-athletes achieve outstanding performances on both the conference and national stages. Highlights include: • A National Championship for the Women’s Outdoor Track & Field team, and seven individual national championships. • NCAA Final Four and Elite 8 appearances for Men’s Basketball and six Big 12 Conference regular-season championships, raising that streak of titles to 12.

• NCAA Final Four and Sweet 16 (and four straight NCAA) appearances for Volleyball. • Two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances for Women’s Basketball. • NCAA Tournament appearances for Softball (twice), Baseball, Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Golf, and Tennis. • Four National Coach-of-the-Year awards – Stanley Redwine, women’s track and field; Bill Self, men’s basketball; Ray Bechard, volleyball, and Laura Kuhn (assistant coach), volleyball – and several Big 12 Conference Coach-of-the-Year awards – Self (three times), Redwine (three times), Bechard (three times), and Clark Campbell, swimming (twice). In addition, third-year tennis coach Todd Chapman was named 2016 Coach of the Year for the Central Region after leading the Jayhawks to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 17 years. During 2015-16, 12 KU teams were represented in NCAA postseason competition, the most-ever KU appearances in one year. Zenger has spearheaded some $80 million in new Kansas Athletics facilities as well – improvements he expects will help KU’s coaches and student-athletes continue their run of outstanding performances. Notable among these is the completion of the DeBruce Center, the new permanent home of James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball.” In addition, a $2 million renovation of the football locker room is now underway. The track surrounding the football field was removed in summer 2014, replaced with new artificial turf, bringing the turf to within 10 feet of the stands. A $1 million renovation of the Jayhawks’ Sports Medicine Facility has provided modernized rehabilitation, an x-ray room and treatment areas. Fall 2015 saw the opening of McCarthy Hall, which houses the men’s basketball team and an equal number of distinguished non-student-athletes. The beautiful new, nationally acclaimed Rock Chalk Park, home to KU soccer, softball, and track and field, has already hosted its first NCAA meet, and more are on the horizon. And the soon-to-be-completed Jayhawk Tennis Center, an

indoor-outdoor complex at Rock Chalk Park, will house the KU tennis team. Stressing a culture of competitiveness and citizenship, Zenger has instituted KU Leads, a student-athlete development program dedicated to fostering committed leaders and supporting career development. 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. ISU reached new heights in fundraising, academics and community service during Zenger’s tenure there. Zenger’s career took several turns before landing in athletics administration. He coached football 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. He also coached at South Florida and Wyoming. Zenger earned two degrees from Kansas State before coming to KU to earn his Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership, strengthening his understanding of university leadership at the highest levels. He served as KSU’s associate athletics director for development before becoming Athletics Director at Illinois State in 2005. Zenger recently chaired KU’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Group, and also serves on the university’s Brand Leadership Committee. He served for three years on the NCAA Division I Committee on StudentAthlete Reinstatement and on two NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division committees. He was also 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.

TRACK & FIELD BOB TIMMONS CHALLENGE

ZAINAB SANNI

DECEMBER 4, 2015 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Jayhawks claimed victories in 19 events as the Kansas track & field teams enjoyed a successful seasonopening meet at the Bob Timmons Challenge inside Anschutz Pavilion. Junior Zainab Sanni ran to the 60-meter and 200-meter titles, while both the men’s and women’s 4x400-meter and distance medley relays were won by the Jayhawks. Sanni turned some heads en route to a win in the 60 meters. The junior out-leaned her senior teammate, Sydney Conley, to claim her first-career victory in the event. Sanni sprinted through the finish in 7.41, just .05 seconds ahead of Conley. The mark shaved .07 seconds off her previous personal best, and made her the fourth-fastest KU female in the history of the event. The time also, for the moment, put Sanni atop the national rankings after the first week of the indoor season. Sanni returned to the track two hours later and again ran her way to the top of the podium. This time she was running in the lane next to former KU teammate and 13-time All-American Diamond Dixon, but showed no signs of intimidation. Sanni accelerated down the final straight-away and crossed the finish in 24.18 to pick up her second trophy of the day. The Jayhawks’ 4x400-meter relay squads closed out the day on a fitting note with wins on both the men’s and women’s sides. The women’s team comprised of Sanni, Whitney Adams, Nicole Montgomery and Adrianna Newell led from start to finish, passing the baton around in 3:44.69 to win the event by over five seconds. The time was the fastest by the women’s 4x400-meter squad in the seven years of the season opening meet. Brandon Lombardino started off his season on the right foot with a win in the men’s weight throw. The sophomore surpassed the 16-meter mark on his final two throws, with the fifth attempt measuring out to 16.42 meters (53’10½”). The toss marked the best throw by a Jayhawk since 2012 and earned Lombardino the victory by over four feet. Senior Phil Stand picked up the runner-up finish in his first outing in the Crimson & Blue, hitting a mark of 15.04 meters (49’4¼”) and was followed by teammate, senior Paul Golen, who took third place with his throw of 14.25 meters (46’9”). Dasha Tsema followed up on Lombardino’s weight throw win by picking up one of her own. On her third trip into the ring, she uncorked a toss of 16.66 meters (54’8”). The attempt bettered her previous personal best by nearly three feet and went on to earn her the overall victory by more than two feet. Continuing his tradition of Bob Timmons Challenge dominance in the pole vault was senior Casey Bowen. The Gardner, Kansas product needed just two clearances to pick up his third-straight victory at the December meet. Bowen got over 5.21 meters (17’1”) on his second attempt but could go no higher. Sophomore Ben Burchstead was the highlight from the Jayhawks’ distance events, claiming his first career win in the 3,000 meters. For the majority of the 1.8-mile race, freshman Bryce Richards led the pack, but once the lead group headed into the bell lap, Burchstead turned it into another gear. He moved from third to first over the final 200 meters and crossed the finish nearly two seconds ahead of the field. Burchstead posted a time of 8:46.18 for the victory.

BILL EASTON CLASSIC

JANUARY 8, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

The Kansas track & field teams combined for 22 event victories including 15 of 19 events on the women’s side as the Jayhawks kicked off 2016 at the Bill Easton Classic inside Anschutz Pavilion. The KU women were nearly perfect on the track, claiming wins in 11 of the 12 running events, while 11 Jayhawk men turned in career-best marks in their first outing of the New Year. After arriving on campus for the first time just six days prior, freshman LaTyria Jefferson wasted little time getting her first collegiate victory in the high jump. The Desoto, Texas product was perfect on the first three heights of the day, clearing 1.55 meters (4’11”), 1.60 meters (5’3”) and 1.65 meters (5’5”) in only one attempt each. Jefferson then needed two tries at 1.70 meters (5’7”) but cleared the bar, which eventually earned her the victory. The clearance moved Jefferson into the top-25 of the latest NCAA rankings and to No. 2 on the Big 12 performance list. All-American Sydney Conley got her year off to a good start by claiming the title in the long jump. Conley only took one attempt in the competition, but it was good enough to get the gold. On her first trip down the runway, the senior flew to a mark of 6.02 meters (19’9”), a distance no other competitor could match. Conley’s teammate, junior Allanah McCorkle, came close after she posted a top leap of 5.98 meters (19’7½”) on her third attempt, but was forced to settle for a runner-up finish behind her senior teammate. Conley returned to the track later in the day to take part in the final of the 60 meters. The event marked a rematch between Conley and her junior teammate, Zainab Sanni, who came out on top in the KU duo’s first matchup of the season last month at the Bob Timmons Challenge. The two were separated by .06 seconds in December but managed to shorten that gap in the event final Friday. The two entered the final five meters neck-and-neck but Sanni managed to outlean her senior teammate by centimeters in the photo finish. Sanni crossed the finish in 7.43, just .01 ahead of Conley, who came across in a personal-record-tying 7.44. Sophomore Tre Daniels continued his solid start to the indoor campaign by posting a personal record in the 200 meters for the second-consecutive meet. Daniels outdueled senior teammates Drew Matthews and Jaime Wilson for the win, sprinting through the finish in 22.11, a time that shaved .25 seconds off his previous best. Matthews wasn’t far behind with his runner-up clocking of 22.29, also a personal best, while Wilson came across third in 22.32. Four months removed from picking up a victory in his first collegiate outing on the cross country course, freshman Dylan Hodgson did the same in his first career outing on a collegiate track. The Washington, Kansas product was briefly challenged at the start of his 3,000-meter race but quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. Hodgson completed the 1.8-mile event in 8:30.61 to earn the victory by more than two seconds over the next finisher.

KANSAS/KANSAS ST./WICHITA ST. TRIANGULAR JANUARY 15, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Jayhawk victories in 12 events helped propel the Kansas track & field teams to a dominant win at the second annual Sunflower State Triangular held inside Anschutz Pavilion. The men’s and women’s teams combined to score 254 points to finish ahead of in-state rivals Kansas State (234 points) and Wichita State (203 points). Six Jayhawks and a relay team produced marks that rank among the top-10 in the NCAA this season, including senior Daina Levy, who moved herself to the top of the national ranks in the weight throw. Levy set the tone for what would be an impressive day for the Kansas athletes in the field and on the track. The senior thrower topped the 20-meter mark on four of her six attempts, but saved her best for last. On her last trip into the throws ring, already with the event victory in tow, the All-American unleashed a toss of 21.35 meters (70’0½”) to put an exclamation point on her first outing of the season. The throw was not only a personal record for the senior, but shattered the meet record and brought her within 16 inches of Alena Krechyk’s three-year-old school record. The mark was the third-farthest ever achieved by a KU female and now gives Levy three of the 10 best weight throw marks in school history. Levy’s performance also moved her to the No. 1 spot on the latest NCAA rankings and puts her in prime position to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships in March. A 70-foot throw has qualified its owner for the national meet each year since the current qualifying procedure began. A thrower on the men’s side also had a career day in his first outing of the season as sophomore Nicolai Ceban kicked off his 2016 campaign with a memorable win in the shot put. All four of Ceban’s fair attempts surpassed the 61-foot mark with his sixth and final throw measuring in at 19.17 meters (62’10¾”). That winning throw bettered the Moldavo native’s previous indoor best by over four feet and gave him the event victory by nearly five feet over the rest of the field. The throw moved Ceban to No. 6 on KU’s all-time shot put chart and made him the third Jayhawk in the last 10 years to surpass the 60-foot mark. The sophomore now sits third on this season’s NCAA rankings and first among Big 12 shot putters. On the track, it was the men’s 4x400-meter relay that put the emphatic final stamp on the Jayhawks’ victory in the team race. The quartet of Drew Matthews, Tre Daniels, Jaron Hartley and Strymar Livingston had the race won by the second handoff, building their lead to nearly four seconds just over midway through the race. The anchor, Livingston, brought the baton across the finish with a final time of 3:14.83, topping runner-up Kansas State by nearly five seconds. The time moved the Jayhawk relay team to fifth on the national list and second in the Big 12. For the KU’s women’s runners it was a freshman that stole the show as Nicole Montgomery ran to an easy win in the 600 yards. The Colorado Springs product looked like a veteran as she completed her 2¾ laps with little resistance from the rest of the field, coming across the finish in a personal best 1:20.86. The time, which no other collegian has come within two seconds of yet this season, was the sixth-fastest time in school history, as well as a meet record and made Montgomery just the fourth KU female to go sub-81 seconds in the event.

JAYHAWK CLASSIC

JANUARY 28-29, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

The University of Kansas track & field teams were victorious in 16 events at KU’s final home meet of the indoor campaign, the Jayhawk Classic. Sophomore Sharon Lokedi turned in a NCAA top-10 performance as well as a facility record in the 3,000 meters while junior Strymar Livingston claimed the fastest 600-yard time in the nation this season.

For the men, it was the junior, Livingston, who tallied the performance of the night, going up against two world record holders in the 600 yards. The 2.5-lap race proved to be the quickest in the facility’s history with Bryce Spratling holding off Kyle Clemons and Livingston down the final homestretch to claim the victory. Each of those three runners finished in times better than the previous facility record, broken by Clemons the last year. Spratling posted a winning time of 1:09.08 and was followed by Clemons, who posted the runner-up time of 1:09.36. Livingston was the third to cross the finish but the top collegiate, clocking in at 1:09.56. Livingston’s race is the fastest by a collegian this season and ranks the junior ninth on the school’s all-time 600 yard list. Only three other Jayhawks have run faster times in the event since 2000. Senior Casey Bowen posted a season best en route to the top-collegiate finish in the pole vault. He posted three clearances on the day, his best a vault of 5.32 meters (17’5½”), which was enough to outduel his freshman teammate, Paulo Benavides, who turned in a career-best vault of 5.22 meters (17’1½”). Bowen’s mark has him ranked 13th on the latest NCAA DI pole vault list, while Benavides isn’t far behind in 23rd. Senior Daina Levy added another successful chapter to her final indoor season in Lawrence by picking up her second weight throw victory in as many outings. On her fifth attempt, Levy got the 20-pound implement to a distance of 21.00 meters (68’10¾”), the second-farthest throw of her career and just over a foot shy of her career best. The throw was nearly 13 feet better than the next finisher and gave Levy two of the five best throws among the NCAA DI ranks this season.

TYSON INVITATIONAL/ISU CLASSIC

FEBRUARY 12-13, 2016 | FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. | AMES, IOWA

HUSKER INVITATIONAL

FEBRUARY 5-6, 2016 | LINCOLN, NEB.

Three Jayhawks entered the school’s all-time top-10 800-meter charts while senior Casey Bowen notched another victory in the pole vault as Kansas track & field competed at the Husker Invitational Saturday inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Bowen posted the nation’s sixth-highest pole vault mark to that point of the season, while junior Whitney Adams’ career best in the 800 meters moved her among the top-25 in the NCAA ranks. For the second-straight season, Bowen left the Bob Devaney Center with some hardware after he defended his Husker Invitational pole vault title from a season ago. Competing in the 26-man field, the senior quickly separated himself with two clearances on his first three trips down the runway. With only two other vaulters left in the competition and the bar going up to 5.43 meters (17’9¾”), Bowen managed to clear the height on his second attempt, a feat neither of the other two athletes could match. The Gardner, Kansas product took two cracks at what would have been a new career-best bar at 5.53 meters (18’1¾”) but was unable to get over. Despite the failed attempts on his last height, Bowen still claimed his third event title of the season and moved his name to No. 6 on the NCAA pole vault rankings. Seeing action in her first career indoor 800 meter race, Adams produced one of the fastest times in the history of the KU women’s program. The junior out of St. Charles, Missouri stuck close behind Kansas State’s Sonia Gaskin for the majority of the race before she overtook the KSU senior down the final straight away. Adams completed her four laps around the red oval in 2:07.71 to claim the top collegiate finish. Adams’ half-mile clocking was the fourth-fastest ever recorded on an indoor track and made her the second fastest Jayhawk on the school’s all-time list. She now ranks fourth among Big 12 800-meter runners this season and her performances moved her among the top-25 on the latest NCAA list. Junior Allanah McCorkle and sophomore Laura Taylor also tallied top-10 finishes, while freshman Ivan Henry and senior Drew Matthews turned in season-best outings in the 400 meters. In a stacked field in the pole vault, Taylor leaped to an indoor career-best clearance en route to a 10thplace finish as well as the eighth-place mark among the collegians entered. The sophomore needed just four vaults to clear her three bars on the day. On her first attempt at 3.88 meters (12’8¾”) Taylor slipped over the bar to post a new personal best in the indoor event, bettering her previous high by more than three inches. The mark moved her among the top-eight Big 12 vaulters.

ARKANSAS QUALIFIER/ALEX WILSON INV.

FEB. 19-20, 2016 | FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. | SOUTH BEND, IND.

Victories from the Kansas men’s 4x400-meter relay as well as sophomore Nicolai Ceban helped the Jayhawks end the Tyson Invitational on a high note. Ceban secured his third shot put victory in as many outings in 2016 with the help of a career-best throw, while the men’s 4x400-meter relay outpaced host Arkansas and Missouri with a season-best clocking to win the meet’s final event.

In their final outing before lacing up the spikes at the Big 12 Indoor Championship, a handful of Jayhawks got a solid final tune-up at the Arkansas Qualifier and Alex Wilson Invitational. Sophomore Jaron Hartley moved to No. 2 on KU’s all-time 200-meter chart, while sophomore Laura Taylor added a career best in the pole vault en route to a top-five finish.

Ceban remained undefeated in his sophomore campaign after claiming victory in the shot put with a mark that topped the rest of the field by nearly a foot. The Moldova native’s day began with a bang when he heaved the 16-pound implement to a mark of 19.25 meters (63’2”) on his first trip into the ring. The toss marked a new season and career best for Ceban and put him in control of the leaderboard for the remainder of the event. The performance helped Ceban maintain his position as the 10th-ranked shot putter in the NCAA this season and moved him to second on the Big 12 list.

Hartley returned to the Tyson Center track less than a week removed from seeing himself disqualified in the same event at the Tyson Invitational. Hartley’s trip around the oval Friday produced a decisively better result, a new career best and one of the top times in the program’s storied history. The Houston native won his heat and finished fourth overall when he broke the tape in 21.42.

Saggau kicked things off for Kansas, running the opening 1,200-meter leg. The junior made her four laps around the 300-meter track in just under 3:30 before handing off to the freshman, Montgomery, for the 400-meter stretch. Montgomery completed the quarter-mile in 53.3 before Adams took over on the 800-meter leg. The school’s second-fastest ever in the indoor 800-meters, Adams posted another quick split with her time of 2:07.8. The junior then handed off to Lokedi, who anchored home her team for the mile leg.

Kansas’ performance was the seventh-fastest ever for a KU women’s distance medley team and has the quartet ranked fourth in the Big 12 with the conference meet just six days away.

Just a week removed from shattering the Kansas record in the 5,000 meters, Lokedi showed her versatility in the shorter distance Saturday and rounded out a solid effort for the Jayhawk DMR. She brought the baton across the finish with the clock reading 11:26.05 after completing her mile split in 4:55. The mark was good enough to earn the Jayhawks a ninth-place finish in the race.

Lokedi’s performance topped Amanda Miller’s previous KU record of 16:27.03, which was achieved at the same meet in 2010. It also made the sophomore one of 18 collegians to break the 16-minute barrier this season in the event. Lokedi now has the Big 12’s fastest 5,000-meter clocking of 2016 and the league’s second-fastest clocking in the 3,000 meters.

Junior Lydia Saggau, freshman Nicole Montgomery, junior Whitney Adams and sophomore Sharon Lokedi entered the Loftus Center Saturday with high expectations, hoping to notch a time that would put the Jayhawks in prime position to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

Sophomore Sharon Lokedi erased the six-year-old 5,000-meter school by nearly 30 seconds and posted one of the NCAA’s fastest times of the year. The Eldoret, Kenya product used a strong kick over the final 600 meters to claim third in one of the fastest 5,000 races the 2016 season has seen. Lokedi crossed the tape in 15:57.95, rewriting her previous personal record by over a minute and smashing the school record.

The Kansas women’s distance medley relay team turned in a season-best outing at the Alex Wilson Invitational inside the Loftus Sports Center. The KU quartet moved into the top-25 of the NCAA rankings after finishing the 4,000-meter race in 11:26.05 and placing ninth in one of the fastest distance medley races of the season.

A week removed from entering the school’s all-time top-10 chart in his first 800-meter race as a Jayhawk, Livingston managed to shave another second off that time going up against the stellar field assembled in Ames. The junior out of Brooklyn, New York took second in his heat and eighth overall when he crossed the finish in 1:49.16, a new career best for Livingston in the indoor event. His time is the fastest posted by a Jayhawk in the 800 meters in nearly 11 years and ranks as the fifth-fastest in program history. Livingston’s ISU Classic performance ranks only behind Jeremy Mims and Jim Ryun on Kansas’ all-time indoor 800 meter list.

Taylor also scribed her name into the KU history books with a personal-best clearance in the pole vault. The sophomore was perfect on her first two bars of the day, clearing both in her first two trips down the runway. She then needed all three tries at the next bar, but slid over the standard set at 4.00 meters (13’1½”) on her third attempt to secure a new career high in the indoor event. Taylor’s performance, which earned her a fourth-place finish, made her the 12th KU female in program history to vault four meters or higher.

For the second straight week, junior Strymar Livingston notched one of the fastest indoor 800-meter clockings in school history as he competed at the ISU Classic inside the Lied Recreation Center.

Hartley’s time shaved off more than a second from his previous career best in the indoor event and moved him to second on Kansas’ all-time indoor 200-meter list. Leo Bookman, a three-time NCAA Champion in the event, is the only Jayhawk to turn in a faster clocking.

Ktf

The Jayhawk quartet of freshman Ivan Henry, senior Jaime Wilson, sophomore Jaron Hartley and senior Drew Matthews took to the track for the final race of the meet, the 4x400-meter relay. Three of the four legs of KU’s team posted sub-47.7 splits with Matthews anchoring home the squad in 47.3 and holding off a late charge from the Missouri team to claim the event title. Kansas passed the baton around in 3:10.83 for the team’s fastest 4x400-meter clocking of the season. The foursome’s time has it just outside the top-25 on the national list and fifth on the Big 12 chart.

2016 IN REVIEW

In just her second outing of the indoor season, Lokedi made history by posting the fastest 3,000-meter time in the 30-year history of Anschutz Pavilion. The sophomore, who became Kansas’ second AllAmerican woman on the cross country course over the fall, proved she had no signs of a hangover from her stellar fall campaign. She was never challenged throughout the 1.8-mile race, building a lead of more than 30 seconds by the midway point of the race. The Eldoret, Kenya native sprinted down the homestretch and through the finish to post a career-best clocking of 9:29.24. The mark, which ranks as the second-fastest ever posted by a Jayhawk, topped the facility record set by KU’s Lauren Bonds at the same meet six years prior. Lokedi’s performance also moved her into the top-10 of the latest NCAA 3,000-meter rankings, as the seventh-fastest time so far in the 2016 season.

TRACK & FIELD BIG 12 INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP FEBRUARY 26-27, 2016 | AMES, IOWA

Two Jayhawks claimed their first-career league titles as the KU track & field teams competed at the Big 12 Indoor Championships at the Lied Recreation Center. Senior Daina Levy came within an inch of the meet record on the way to winning the weight throw, while sophomore Sharon Lokedi ran to an dominant victory in the 5,000 meters, winning the event no Jayhawk has been able to attain in over 20 years. Levy continued to put her name among the all-time KU greats after she claimed her first career conference title Friday afternoon. The senior out of Mississauga, Ontario entered the day with two of the league’s top throws on the season and had hopes of ending a two-year stretch of near misses at the conference championship. It was Levy’s fourth trip into the ring that put any doubts to rest of her impending victory. She heaved the 20-pound implement to a distance of 21.52 meters (70’7¼”), a new career best and the No. 2 mark in Kansas history. The throw was less than an inch shy of the meet record and gave Levy a comfortable lead heading into the final two rounds. The win marked the third time a Jayhawk has taken home the Big 12’s weight throw title since 2010. Three months removed from making school history on the cross country course, Lokedi was at it again as she turned in a dominating performance in the 5,000 meters. The sophomore out of Eldoret, Kenya made her way to the start line of the Lied Center track with pleasant memories as just three weeks prior she had shattered the school record in the 5,000 meters at the ISU Classic. Lokedi returned in hopes of posting another impressive time but also having a gold medal to go along with it. Over the early portions of the race Lokedi and a group of four other runners broke away from the main pack and pushed the pace during the first two kilometers. By the midway point, Lokedi was joined only by Baylor’s Maggie Montoya. The two traded the lead for 500 meters before the Jayhawk turned it to another gear and never looked back. Lokedi put 60 meters between her and the rest of the field still with a mile to go in the race.

also turned in stellar outings and helped the women’s team to a fifth-place finish with 70.92 points, while the men concluded the two-day meet having amassed 51 points for a seventh-place finish. A personal best and school-record time was not quite enough to see a Jayhawk crowned the league’s 600-yard champion Saturday afternoon. Livingston entered the day with the nation’s fastest time of the season, a clocking of 1:09.56 at the Jayhawk Classic in January. After seeing himself post the second-fastest time in Friday’s qualifying race, Livingston knew a victory would not be an easy proposition as Texas’ Byron Robinson was the top qualifier into the final. The final proved to be one of the fastest in the league’s history. The Jayhawk and Longhorn separated themselves after the first 200 meters and never looked back, building a 10-meter lead on the rest of the field as they headed into the home stretch. Robinson had a step on Livingston as he entered the final straightaway but the KU junior stayed right on his shoulder. Robinson held off the late charge by Livingston and won the race in 1:07.99. The KU sprinter crossed the finish just .07 seconds later to snag the runner-up spot in 1:08.06. Livingston’s time broke Michael Stigler’s two-year-old school record by .4 seconds and bettered his previous career best by nearly 1.5 seconds. The performance came at an unlucky time for Livingston as his second-place time would have been good enough to win the event at each Big 12 Indoor meet since 2000.

STRYMAR LIVINGSTON

With the other competitors well behind her, she made her three laps in stress-free fashion before crossing the finish in 16:05.54, more than 15 seconds faster than the next finisher. Lokedi’s performance earned her the first league title of her career and made the sophomore the first Jayhawk since 1993 to garner a conference championship in the 5,000 meters. Though the time was eight seconds slower than Lokedi’s career best and school record from three weeks earlier, it still ranked as the second-fastest 5K in KU history. Junior Strymar Livingston posted a school record and helped the 4x400-meter relay team to the second-fastest time in school history as he and the rest of the Kansas track & field team competed on the final day of the Big 12 Indoor Championship. Junior Whitney Adams and sophomore Sharon Lokedi

NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

MARCH 11-12, 2016 | BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

Two Jayhawks turned in First Team All-American performances at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships inside the Birmingham CrossPlex. Senior Daina Levy claimed bronze in the weight throw with a career-best outing, just minutes before sophomore Sharon Lokedi ran to a sixth-place finish in the 5,000 meters to become the first KU female to earn All-America status in the indoor event. It was another stellar outing in the weight throw for Levy, who entered the day as the No. 8 seed in the event. She never fell from the top-five during the duration of the competition and recorded a new personal best for the third time this season. The Mississauga, Ontario product opened her day with a toss of 20.23 meters (66’4½”), which moved her to fourth following the first round of attempts by all 16 competitors. After a foul on her second attempt, Levy unleashed the best throw of her career as she flung the 20-pound implement to a distance of 21.57 meters (70’9¼”). The throw, which ranks as the third-farthest in KU history, moved the senior to third on the leaderboard heading into the final three rounds of attempts. Levy was unable to improve upon her career mark on her final three trips into the ring, but still managed to maintain her position in third place, where she would eventually end her day.

The bronze-medal finish marked the highest ever by a KU female in a throwing event at the NCAA Indoor Championships and made Levy a first team All-American for the second time after she garnered first team honors in the hammer throw last season. Like Levy, Lokedi stepped into Birmingham CrossPlex seeking to make program history. The sophomore had already rewritten the school history books as the first female to qualify for the 5,000 meters at the NCAA indoor meet, but an All-American outing would stamp her place among the all-time greats. The 3.2-mile race got out to a suicide pace over the first five minutes, with Lokedi one of eight runners to complete her first mile in under 4:55. Despite the quick start, Lokedi kept pace with the lead pack, never straying lower than eighth place. The field began to spread out over the next 1,500 meters but the Jayhawk moved her position up to sixth place. The Eldoret, Kenya native finished her race strong with her last kilometer coming in 3:12 and her last 400 meters in 1:16. Lokedi crossed the finish in 15:58.61, a time that was less than a second slower than her career best and school record, but came across the finish in sixth place to achieve All-America status on the track for the first time in her young collegiate career. Lokedi’s performance made her the first Kansas female to achieve All-America honors in the indoor 5,000 meters and was the highest finish by a Jayhawk in a distance event at the NCAA indoor meet. Her 5K clocking was also the second-fastest in KU history and now makes Lokedi the owner of the three fastest 5K times in the Kansas record book, all of which were achieved in the last month. Sophomore Nicolai Ceban turned in a 15th-place effort in the shot put Saturday afternoon at the NCAA Indoor Championships inside the Birmingham CrossPlex. The finish earned Ceban Second Team All-America honors, making him the 13th Kansas shot putter to claim first or second team status in the indoor event.

DAINA LEVY

Ceban’s day didn’t go precisely as planned, with the sophomore managing only one fair mark in his three attempts. The Moldova native had seen 11 throws over the 60-foot mark during his first four outings of the indoor season, but failed to break that barrier in a competition for the first time this season. Ceban’s first attempt resulted in a mark of 17.71 meters (58’1¼”), however that would be his only fair toss of the afternoon. Foot fouls on his next two attempts kept Ceban outside the top-nine on the leaderboard and without the opportunity for three more throws in finals. Ceban ended his day in 15th-place, good enough to earn the sophomore second team All-America status. A Kansas thrower has now achieved first or second team All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Championships eight times since 2006.

TEXAS RELAYS/STANFORD INVITAIONAL

MARCH 30-APRIL 2, 2016 | AUSTIN, TEXAS | PALO ALTO, CALIF.

A pair of seasonal bests by the Kansas men’s and women’s 4x400-meter relay teams closed out the weekend on a high note at the Nike Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. The KU men claimed a third-place finish in the event with a time that ranks among the top-10 in the NCAA this season. The Jayhawk relay squad of Ivan Henry, Drew Matthews, Jaime Wilson and Strymar Livingston competed well with the national championship-caliber field. Henry led things off for the Jayhawks and handed off to Matthews with the team well in striking distance of the lead. Matthews made his lap in 47.2 before Wilson reeled off a 46.7 split on the third leg. With the Jayhawks sitting fifth at the final exchange, Livingston turned in a stellar anchor leg to complete the great KU outing. The junior made up several spots by way of his 45.5 split over the final 400 meters and crossed the finish with his team in third place and a final time of 3:06.48.

For the second time in 2016, sophomore Sharon Lokedi inserted her name into the school record book as she smashed the Kansas 10,000-meter record at the Stanford Invitational. Lokedi’s performance took down the longest-standing school record in program history, the 10K mark originally set by Karen Fitz in 1979. In what has already been a stellar 2015-16 season for the Eldoret, Kenya native, Lokedi carried over the momentum from All-American cross country and indoor track seasons with a school-record performance in her outdoor season-opening performance at the Stanford Invitational. Running in a field filled with several professionals as well as some of the top distance specialists in the collegiate ranks, Lokedi kept pace with the NCAA Championship field through the early portions of the race. She completed her first mile in 5:13 and, as the pace quickened with the front-runners, the Jayhawk settled into a steady and consistent pace that eventually produced the fastest 10K race in program history. Each of Lokedi’s final 12 laps took less than 81 seconds, which included a 76-second final lap that helped secure her school record. She completed the 6.2-mile race in a new personal best of 33:10.06 to finish 14th overall and shatter the 37-year-old school record by 1:17.

MESA CLASSIC/SUN ANGEL CLASSIC APRIL 8-9, 2016 | MESA, ARIZ. | TEMPE, ARIZ.

Kansas saw impressive performances in events covering nearly every one of the track & field disciplines as the Jayhawks took part in the 37th Annual Sun Angel Classic. Junior Whitney Adams came within fractions of a second of rewriting a school record in the 800 meters, while the men’s 4x400-meter relay team turned in another solid outing en route to its first victory of the outdoor season. Adams came within an eyelash of the school record in the 800 meters as she competed against a stellar field in the women’s premier division 800 meters. The St. Charles, Missouri product shaved almost a second off her previous career best in the event after she completed the half-mile race in 2:05.43, good enough for a fifth-place finish and the second-highest finish by a collegian. Adams’ performance came painfully close to tying Kristi Kloster’s 22-year-old school record in the event, as Adams was only .01 seconds behind Kloster’s clocking of 2:05.42. The career run still put Adams inside the top-20 of the latest NCAA 800-meter rankings as well as second in the Big 12. Senior Daina Levy got the Jayhawks’ weekend in Arizona started on a high note as she competed in the first event of the Sun Angel Classic, the hammer throw. Levy, who was seeing action in a hammer throw competition for the first time in 2016, showed no signs of rust as she surpassed the 210-foot mark on each of her first three attempts. On her third trip into the ring, the All-American unleashed a toss of 65.36 meters (214’5”), her longest of the day. The Jayhawk was unable to record a fair mark on her final three attempts but still managed to claim a third-place finish and the highest by a collegian. A strong contingent was also in action at the Mesa Classic and several Jayhawks saw enjoyed career performances inside Riggs Stadium. Junior Zainab Sanni ran to victory in the 200 meters by way of a 23.61 clocking. The time has Sanni ranked among the top-five Big 12 sprinters in 2016. Sanni also ran a leg on Kansas’ victorious 4x100-meter relay team. Daria Cook, Nicole Montgomery, Sanni and LaTyria Jefferson passed the baton around in 46.62 to win the event by nearly a second.

2016 IN REVIEW

On the women’s side, Whitney Adams, Wumi Omare, Adriana Newell and Nicole Montgomery also posted an impressive early-season clocking in the event. Kansas completed the four laps in 3:42.35, good enough for a sixth-place finish. The time has the team ranked fourth among Big 12 relay teams so far this season.

In her first collegiate track meet, javelin specialist Shaylyn Stallbaumer wasted little time inserting her name into the all-time Kansas rankings en route to a victory. On her sixth and final attempt of the day, Stallbaumer threw the spear 48.48 meters (159’1”) to cement her win by almost five feet over the rest of the field. Stallbaumer’s toss moved her to fourth on KU’s all-time javelin chart and into the top-25 of the NCAA rankings. On the men’s side, sophomore Brandon Lombardino notched his first victory as a Jayhawk by claiming gold in the hammer throw. Lombardino posted a mark of 53.40 meters (175’2”) on his third attempt to earn the win by nearly 14 feet.

KANSAS RELAYS

APRIL 20-23, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

A 46-year-old record broken, along as well as 18 event victories, highlighted an impressive weekend for the Jayhawk track & field squads at the 89th Kansas Relays. Both Kansas teams finished second behind the groups from Nebraska in the scored quadrangular, with the KU men amassing 219 points and the Jayhawk women finishing with 191 points. One of the school’s oldest standing records fell by the way-side as Mitch Cooper turned in a historic performance on the north throws field Saturday afternoon. The junior had a stellar throws series, surpassing the 200-foot mark on three of his attempts and coming within 13 inches of the mark on a fourth. With the victory already in tow and heading into the ring for his sixth and final throw, Cooper unleashed the best discus mark ever posted by a Jayhawk with a toss of 62.56 meters (205’3”). The toss surpassed his previous best, achieved just minutes earlier, by nearly three feet and put his name atop the all-time Kansas discus charts. Cooper’s mark upended Karl Salb’s 46-year-old record (62.12 meters, 203’10”), achieved at the 1970 Drake Relays, one of the longest standing school records in the program’s history.

MITCH COOPER

In the first true quadrangular event of the 2016 Kansas Relays, Kansas saw a winner and big points come out of the hammer throw. Daina Levy picked up her second KU Relays victory in three years, and only needed one throw to do it. The First Team All-American unwound for a toss of 64.13 meters (211’1”) on her first attempt of the day, a mark that would be more than enough to give her the win. Levy was unable to connect on another fair attempt on her final five throws, however her first toss topped the field by over 25 feet. The win, paired with KU teammate Dasha Tsema’s fourth-place finish, gave the Jayhawk women’s team 13 points toward the team quadrangular race and put Kansas in the lead heading into the final day of events.

Four hours later, four more Jayhawk women took the track hoping to carry on the standard set earlier in the day by the 4x800-meter teams. KU’s distance medley team succeeded with an easy win. The quartet of Kayla Funkenbusch, Dorie Dalzell, Jasmine Edwards and Kelli McKenna led from start to finish with McKenna coming down the final homestretch nearly 15 seconds ahead of the field to earn the Jayhawks their third relay victory of the day, clocking in with a time of 11:52.43. The win marked KU’s fifth distance medley win in the last seven Kansas Relays.

Kansas continued its past KU Relays dominance in the 4x800-meter and distance medley relays with three victories early in the day. The Jayhawk women’s squad of Lydia Saggau, Malika Baker, Hannah Dimmick and Whitney Adams found itself against a scrappy team from Incarnate Word, facing an early deficit after the first leg. But a strong second leg by Baker put the Jayhawks back on top by the halfway point, where Dimmick and Adams laid to rest any doubts of the Kansas win. Adams brought the baton across the finish in 8:57.16 to give the Jayhawks the victory for the second-straight year at their home event.

Wins by three Jayhawk relay squads highlighted the University of Kansas track & field team’s afternoon Friday at the 89th Kansas Relays Presented by Subway. Senior Daina Levy picked up Kansas’ first victory of the scored quadrangular, claiming her second Kansas Relays hammer throw title, while junior Strymar Livingston got his busy weekend off to an impressive start with one of the best quarter-mile performances in school history.

Koech had little trouble in holding off a late charge from Allen County Community College and broke the tape in 7:35.33 to pick up the win. The Jayhawks’ time was the best at the Kansas Relays since the foursome from Missouri ran 7:32.12 at the 2000 event.

To close out the night, Sanni, along with Adriana Newell, Nicole Montgomery and Whitney Adams, teamed up on the Jayhawk women’s 4x400-meter relay for a win. The group claimed its fifth 4x400-meter relay title at the KU Relays in six years when Kansas passed the baton around in 3:41.64.

The KU men followed the women’s lead, with a strong performance that also made them back-to-back Kansas Relay 4x800-meter relay winners. The grouping of Brandon Bernal, Bryce Richards, Adel Yoonis and Daniel Koech combined for one of the fastest two-mile relay times in recent KU Relays history. Like Baker for the women, it was Yoonis who broke away from the pack to give the Jayhawks a lead they wouldn’t relinquish, posting a sub-1:53 split as he handed off to the anchor, Koech.

On the track it was junior Zainab Sanni who carried the scoring load for the Jayhawk women. Sanni started her day helping the women’s 4x100-meter relay to a third-place finish in a season-best 46.41. She then hit the starting blocks for the 100-meter dash where she tallied her first of three victories on the day. The Aurora, Colorado native broke the tape in 11.36 to take the crown but her day wasn’t done. An hour later she raced to a win in the 200 meters as well, crossing the finish in 23.57, her fastest clocking of the year.

Ktf

Not only was the throw a school record, but it also moved Cooper among the top discus throwers in the nation this year. The mark is the second farthest achieved among the NCAA DI ranks this season and is first among Big 12 Conference discus throwers.

TRACK & FIELD

ROCK CHALK CLASSIC

APRIL 30, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Senior Daina Levy’s season-best toss produced one of 10 Jayhawk victories as Kansas track & field closed out April at the Rock Chalk Classic inside Rock Chalk Park. Levy posted a facility record mark while freshman Ivan Henry led the KU men with a pair of career bests on the track. Levy was once again one of the Jayhawks’ top performers, claiming her second hammer throw win of the 2016 season in grand style. The Jamaican national record holder in the event found her form in the fifth round after Kansas State’s Sara Savatovic displaced her atop the overall leaderboard. Levy regained the lead, rewrote the facility record and jumped up the national rankings all with one attempt when she unwound for a season-best mark of 68.35 meters (224’3”). The throw, which topped the Rock Chalk Park facility record previously held by Savatovic, earned Levy the victory by over 11 feet. Levy’s mark was the second-farthest of her career and ranks third on KU’s all-time hammer throw list. The performance also moved the senior to No. 2 in the NCAA rankings this season as well as inside the top-30 of the latest world ranks. Freshman Ivan Henry had a stellar day with personal bests in two events as well as a strong leg on the KU 4x100-meter relay. He began his day as the anchor for the 4x100-meter team that posted a clocking of 40.71 to take second in the first running event of the day. Henry then hit the track again an hour later in the 400 meters, where he sprinted to a dominating win in the event with a personal-best time of 46.59. The time moved the Jamaica product inside the top-50 of the latest NCAA rankings. Before Henry’s day was done though he hit the starting blocks for the 200 meters. The first-year Jayhawk completed his half lap in just over 21 seconds to finish second overall. Henry’s career and team-best time of 21.02 has him among the all-important top-48 in the NCAA’s West Region. Junior Nick Meyer claimed his second victory in as many weeks on his home runway after taking the men’s pole vault title. Meyer got out to a shaky start, needing all three attempts to clear his first bar of the day at 4.99 meters (16’4½”). After that it was smooth sailing for the Kingman, Kansas native, who needed only four attempts to get over the next three bars. After Meyer cleared 5.34 meters (17’6¼”), a feat no other competitor could match, he secured his second win at Rock Chalk Park this season. A week removed from breaking the school’s 46-year-old record in the discus, junior Mitch Cooper returned to the Rock Chalk Park throws ring looking to one up his career performance from the KU Relays. Though Cooper was unable to match the record mark, he still managed to claim his second event victory in as many weeks as he finished as the top collegiate in the event. On his fourth attempt of the day, he posted a toss of 58.53 meters (192’0”). The only competitor who turned in a better mark was former KU thrower Mason Finley, who took down his week-old facility record with a throw of 65.28 meters (214’2”). The mark gave Finley the Olympic ‘A’ Standard and moved him into the top-10 of the latest world rankings.

WARD HAYLETT INVITATIONAL MAY 7, 2016 | MANHATTAN, KAN.

Career-best performances from junior Nick Meyer and sophomore Tre Daniels produced two of six Kansas victories at the Ward Haylett Invitational. Meyer became the 10th Jayhawk in school history to break the 18-foot barrier in the pole vault while Daniels posted the first sub-47-second 400-meter race of his career. Meyer, a native of Kingman, Kansas, entered the day already among the top vaulters in the nation, sitting at 13th in the latest NCAA rankings. By day’s end, he would vault his way up not only the national leaderboard, but the all-time Kansas charts as well. Competition got out to a slow start for the junior, who needed two attempts to clear the bar on each of his first two heights of the day at 5.15 and 5.25 meters. The next height of 5.35 meters was all Meyer would need to claim his third pole vault victory in as many weeks. It again took him two tries, but his second time was the charm, clearing the bar easily and notching yet another individual victory. His day was not done there, however, as Meyer raised the bar to 5.50 meters in an attempt to tally a new career-best height and put his name among the best vaulters in Kansas history. On the first two attempts at the height, he came painfully close to a clearance, but narrowly clipped the bar each time, leaving himself only one more opportunity to surpass 18 feet. This this occasion, the third time was the charm as Meyer inched over the bar. The mark bettered his previous career high by nearly four inches and moved him to eighth on KU’s all-time outdoor pole vault list. In addition, Meyer became the 10th Jayhawk to top 18 feet. The performance also moved Meyer to sixth among Division I pole vaulters and first in the Big 12 with the conference meet looming in less than a week. Daniels also tallied a career outing Saturday, with the fastest 400-meter race in his short time as a Jayhawk. Running in front of family and friends, the Manhattan product finished the quarter-mile race in 46.70 to claim the first individual victory of his season. The time shaved nearly .5 seconds off of his previous personal record and made him the third Jayhawk this season to break the 47-second barrier in the event. The mark moves him into the all-important top-48 of the West Region standings and in prime position to qualify for the West Preliminary, to be hosted in Lawrence, May 26-28. Daniels beat out senior teammate, Drew Matthews, who added a runner-up finish in the 400 with his personal-best time of 47.18. Senior Jaime Wilson took third in 47.86. The Jayhawks saw five career-best times posted in the 800 meters with junior Daniel Koech leading the way with his clocking of 1:50.52. Sophomore Matt Anyiwo was close behind, finishing third in 1:51.35. Kansas runners claimed the next three spots, as Bryce Richards was fifth in 1:51.54, Brandon Bernal sixth with his 1:51.62 and Adel Yoonis’ 1:53.14 half-mile time that was good for seventh place.

BIG 12 OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP MAY 13-15, 2016 | FORT WORTH, TEXAS

Two event victories as well as four top-three finishes on the meet’s final day helped propel the Kansas men’s track & field team to a runner-up finish at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship inside the Lowdon Track Complex. The Jayhawks amassed 116 points to claim second place and post the program’s highest finish at a conference meet since 1983. The Kansas women tallied their fifth-straight top-four finish at the Big 12 outdoor meet after they claimed a fourth-place finish with 82.4 points. The Kansas men put an exclamation point on their historic finish with a come-from-behind win in the 4x400-meter relay. The squad of Ivan Henry, Jaron Hartley, Tre Daniels and Strymar Livingston gave Kansas its second conference title in the event in four years and cemented their team’s second-place finish. By the midway point of the race, the Jayhawks had found themselves up against a formidable foe in the Baylor Bears, a team that has claimed 14 of the 19 Big 12 4x400-meter relay titles. After a hard-fought battle through the first half of the race, Daniels managed to pull the Jayhawks ahead just before the final handoff, passing the baton to the anchor, Livingston, who would not relinquish the KU lead. The Bears closed the gap on Livingston down the homestretch, but he held off the late charge to bring the Jayhawks’ baton across the finish with a winning time of 3:05.73. The Kansas discus throwers kicked off the Jayhawks’ historic day with a stellar outing, producing a conference champion as well as 18 points to the men’s score. Junior Mitch Cooper and sophomore Nicolai Ceban faced relatively little resistance in working their way to the top of the leaderboard. After the first two rounds of throws, the KU duo sat first and second with marks that were 10 feet better than the rest of the field. Cooper moved into the final three rounds with a comfortable lead following his toss of 58.09 meters (190’7”), while Ceban was not far behind as he notched a throw of 57.49 meters (188’7”). Cooper, who entered the day as the conference’s top-ranked thrower in the event, upped his lead in the fifth round when he got the discus out to a mark of 58.71 meters (192’7”). That throw would end up being more than enough to earn the Queensland, Australia product his first-career conference title. Levy added yet another accolade to her already impressive Kansas résumé with a relatively easy victory in the hammer throw Friday morning. The senior, who finished second in the event a year ago, met little resistance en route to becoming the second Kansas female to claim a conference weight throw and hammer throw title in the same year. Levy began her day atop the leaderboard, turning in a first attempt toss of 62.72 meters (205’9”) which immediately put her in first place. The three-time defending champion, Kansas State’s Sara Savatovic, proved to be Levy’s largest obstacle as the Wildcat briefly replaced her name for the top spot in field after going seven inches further than Levy on her third attempt. Savatovic’s stay as the leader lasted only minutes however, as Levy posted a mark of 64.45 meters (211’5”) on her next trip into the runway and moved her into first place, where she would remain for the rest of the competition.

As has become somewhat of a tradition at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship, the Kansas men’s pole vaulters enjoyed another unprecedented outing against their conference foes. By day’s end, the Jayhawks would score more points in the event than any other school had in the 20-year history of the Big 12 meet and notched their fifth conference champion since 2007. Jake Albright and Nick Meyer then separated themselves from the rest of the field in impressive style. On back-to-back attempts, the Jayhawk duo soared over 5.45 meters (17’10½”), a bar no other vaulter could master. With KU now having clinched its fifth Big 12 title winner since 2007, the two Jayhawks squared off, each looking to claim the first conference championship of their careers. On this day, Albright was the one left standing as the Bucyrus, Kansas native posted a personal-best clearance of 5.50 meters (18’0½”). Albright got over the career-high bar on his second attempt, while Meyer couldn’t manage another clearance. In her first 10,000-meter race since she smashed the school record in early April, Lokedi added another memorable performance with a run-away victory. By the 6,000-meter mark the Jayhawk strategically held off on her closing kick until the time was right. With four laps to go, Lokedi made her move and never looked back, building a six second lead over the final 1,200 meters and closing out her first 10,000-meter victory in 34:58.59.

BIG 12 CHAMPION 4X400M RELAY

NCAA WEST PRELIMINARY

MAY 26-28, 2016 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

The Kansas track & field teams turned in a solid outing at the NCAA West Preliminary as five Jayhawks and a relay team advanced to the national championships at the meet held in Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence. Kansas saw two of its discus specialists book their trips to the NCAA Championships behind impressive outings Saturday on the Rock Chalk Park infield. Mitch Cooper, who came into the event as the region’s top discus thrower, lived up to the billing after he posted the competition’s best mark. The junior never strayed outside the top-10 of the overall standings, but jumped to the top of the leaderboard on his final attempt when he hurled the disc 59.44 meters (195’0”). Cooper was followed closely by sophomore teammate Nicolai Ceban who also earned his second-straight trip to the NCAA Championships in the discus. The Moldova native unleashed a career-best attempt on his final trip into the ring, hitting a mark of 58.77 meters (192’9”). That throw gave Ceban the fourth-place finish and an automatic spot in the discus championship in two weeks.

Lokedi stuck with the lead pack as the pace stayed steady over the early portions of the 6.2-mile race and remained among the top-five runners as the field began to spread by the midway point. The second-year Jayhawk closed her race strong and held off efforts from several runners to tally a 10th-place finish. She crossed the finish line in 34:38.31, the fifth-fastest 10,000-meter time ever posted by a Jayhawk. The KU men’s 4x400-meter relay squad closed the day out on a high note with a qualifying performance. The quartet of Ivan Henry, Jaron Hartley, Tre Daniels and Strymar Livingston combined to post the seventhfastest time out of the region as well as one of the best times in program history. The Jayhawks never fell further than the fourth position throughout the race, with the help of a 45.65 split from the anchor, Livingston, the Jayhawks brought the baton across in 3:05.11 to finish fourth in their heat and 11th overall. The time, which earned the Jayhawks the first non-automatic qualifying spot out of the region, was the ninth-fastest time in school history and the best time by a Jayhawk 4x400-meter team since 2012. The KU women also saw a pair of discus hurlers secure their tickets to the NCAA meet earlier in the day. Senior Dasha Tsema qualified for her first NCAA Championships with an 11th-place finish Saturday morning. Tsema turned in a final-throw attempt that measured out to 53.46 meters (175’5”) to claim her position among the top-12 of those advancing. Tsema finished just ahead of teammate Daina Levy. Levy was coming off a disappointing outing a day earlier in the hammer throw, which saw her fail to qualify in that event. The senior didn’t let the letdown faze her as she turned in a season-best toss to claim the 12th and final ticket to nationals. Levy hit a mark of 53.00 meters (175’5”) on her second attempt to move into the field of 24 that will compete in Oregon in two weeks. Cooper improved on his second throw, pushing the discus out to 57.39 meters (188’3”) and maintaining his position inside the top-nine as he headed into the third and final round of attempts. Unfortunately for both Jayhawks, neither were able to elevate themselves during the third round. Cooper’s third toss was not an improvement, while Ceban committed a foot foul and was unable to post a mark. Cooper narrowly missed earning three more attempts in the finals, coming within 15 inches from a spot inside the all-important top-nine and claiming a 10th-place finish. Ceban ended his sophomore campaign with a 13th-place finish after taking 21st in the event a year ago. Both Jayhawks claimed second-team All-America honors in the event. It marked the first time since 1970 that multiple Jayhawks earned a spot on the first or second All-America squad in the discus in the same year. KU seniors Daina Levy and Dasha Tsema put the finishing touches on a solid week for the Kansas track & field teams Saturday at the NCAA Outdoor Championships inside Historic Hayward Field. Levy turned in a 16th-place finish to earn second team All-America honors, while Tsema claimed 19th overall.

Lokedi clocked in with a final time of 32:49.43 and bettered her previous career best and school record by over 20 seconds. It made her the first KU female to attain All-America honors in the 10,000 meters. The race also proved to be one of the fastest in NCAA Championship history as Lokedi’s time was the fastest ever posted by a sixth-place finisher. It also would have been good enough to win the event at three of the last five NCAA meets. The race was Lokedi’s final outing of her sophomore campaign and marked the end of one of the best collegiate seasons by an individual in Kansas track & field history. In the 2015-16 academic year, she attained All-America status in cross country, indoor track & field (5,000m) and outdoor track & field (10,000m). That feat made Lokedi the first Jayhawk – male or female – to be named an All-American in all three seasons in a single academic year. For the second-consecutive season junior Mitch Cooper earned second team All-America honors, while sophomore Nicolai Ceban accomplished the feat for the first time as both took part in the discus competition. Cooper turned in a 10th-place finish while Ceban claimed 13th, marking the fifth year since 2010 Kansas has seen at least one Jayhawk earn first or second team All-America honors in the discus. Both Jayhawks competed in the second of two 12man flights and each got their days out to solid starts. Cooper’s first heave of the day flew out to 57.21 meters (187’8”) and pushed him into seventh on the leaderboard. Ceban wasn’t far behind his elder teammate, turning in a first-attempt throw of 56.74 meters (186’2”), good enough to sit him 10th after the first round of throws.

The Mississuaga, Ontario native did not improve on her final attempt but still managed to claim a 16th-place finish, a spot which earned her second team All-America honors in the event. Unfortunately Tsema was unable to record a mark on her final two attempts of the competition, committing a foot foul on both throws and ending her day in 19th place. That spot earned the senior honorable mention All-American status.

A career best, school record and All-America honors were just a few of the many historic accolades Kansas sophomore Sharon Lokedi attained by way of her sixth-place finish in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships inside Hayward Field. Lokedi posted a school-record time of 32:49.43 and became the first Jayhawk – male or female - in Kansas track & field history to earn All-America status in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track in the same academic year.

Levy upped her standing with an improvement on her next trip into the ring. The senior tallied a throw of 52.21 meters (171’3”), her third-best mark of 2016, to elevate her overall standing going into the final round.

Levy, competing in the NCAA Championship discus for the second-straight year, got her afternoon out to a strong start after she posted an opening attempt mark of 51.67 meters (169’6”). That toss immediately moved her into the top-five of the early standings. Tsema followed moments later, heaving the discus out to 51.47 meters (168’10”) on her opening toss. Both Jayhawks sat among the top-six of the leaderboard after the first round.

NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

2016 IN REVIEW

Sharon Lokedi added yet another impressive accolade to her already stellar sophomore season as she earned a spot in her first NCAA Outdoor Championship via a qualifying performance in the 10,000 meters. The Eldoret, Kenya product entered the morning as the region’s fifth overall seed and played up to that billing as she turned in one of the fastest times of her career.

The men’s 4x400-meter relay competed in the event semifinals on the meet’s first day. The Jayhawks completed the mile race in 3:07.31 to finish 17th overall and failing to secure a spot in the event final by just over two seconds.

Ivan Henry got the Jayhawks out to strong start with a 47-second split and was among the first three to make the first exchange. Drew Matthews then took over and turned in a 47.5 lap and handed off to Jaron Hartley at the halfway point of the race with the Jayhawks in seventh overall. Hartley held KU’s position with the help of a 47.3-second split and put the baton in the anchor, Strymar Livingston’s, hand with the Jayhawks still sitting seventh.

Livingston turned in a stellar anchor leg which saw him move his team up a spot to sixth and complete the last lap in 45.5. The junior brought the baton across in 3:07.31, good enough to claim sixth in the heat and 17th among the 24 teams in the semifinal. The foursome’s time was just over two seconds shy of earning the Jayhawks their first trip to a NCAA 4x400-meter relay final in 26 years.

TRACK & FIELD

Tradition

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 16th 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. 1901 KANSAS TRACK TEAM

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.

BILL EASTON

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 win 38 conference titles and won at least one conference title each year. He was only the second collegiate coach to lead

BOB TIMMONS

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 Championship as well as the 2015 NCAA Midwest Regional. Timmons donated the course to KU in 2005, where a home meet bearing his name (Bob Timmons Classic) is run every year.

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.

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. In the latter part of the 1960s, a new star emerged

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.

HISTORY

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.

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.

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 topamateur 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.

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.

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 sub-four-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.

TRACK & FIELD

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 four-time 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. From 2010-113, 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 and rewrote the school record books in the triple jump.

THE RISE OF THE WOMEN’S PROGRAM While the men are entering their 117th year of competition, the women are youthful in comparison. KU women’s track is in its 45th 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.

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 All-American in Kansas women’s track history. Calmese is still fifth all-time in the 100-meter dash in the Kansas outdoor record book.

GARY SCHWARTZ

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 All-American 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. 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.

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.

HISTORY

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.

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.

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.

1985 WOMEN’S TRACK

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.

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 All-American honor.

In 1998, Candace Mason became just the third Kansas woman to earn three AllAmerica 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 injuryfilled 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.

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 All-American 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. 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.

LEO BOOKMAN

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.

SCOTT RUSSELL

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 All-America honors. For his performance that season, Battle was named the Midwest Field Athlete of the Year.

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

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.

KATE SULTANOVA

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 AllAmerica 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 All-America 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 4x100meter relay team. 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.

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.

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.

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. 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. 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 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 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.

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. 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. 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 KU title also marked the first time in NCAA history a school located above the Mason-Dixon Line had won an outdoor national championship. As the women’s program established itself as one of the nation’s elite over the next three seasons, the men’s team continued to develop world-class athletes, including Michael Stigler, who worked his way into becoming one of the NCAA’s top hurdlers from 2012-15. Stigler won four-straight Big 12 titles in the 400-meter hurdles, while also garnering All-America First Team status in each of his four seasons in Lawrence. In 2015, Stigler secured Kansas’ 36th individual national title with his NCAA Championship run in the 400-meter hurdles. The summer of 2016 also saw the KU track and field program well represented at the Olympic Games held in Rio. Kansas alumns Mason Finley, Andrea Geubelle, Daina Levy and Kyle Clemons all competed for their countires at the XXXI Olympiad. For the second-straight Olympics a Jayhawk came home with gold as Kyle Clemons helped Team USA’s 4x400-meter relay team to a first-place finish in the event.

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 mid1930s, winning the mile run in 1934-35, 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 & 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, Kansas native Jim Ryun. Perhaps the most decorated Jayhawk track athlete ever, Ryun has four Kansas Relays Most Outstanding Performer titles to his credit (1966-67-6971). 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 owned 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.

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 1980s continued the stream of top athletes to Mount Oread, including a contingent from 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 All-America 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 backto-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

167 the first time. Stacy Dragila, the top-ranked vaulter in America, won the event and set the American record by clearing 13-6.50 ft. Her effort enabled her to be named the 1996 women’s outstanding performer.

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 record-breaking 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.

In 2011, Kansas officials added a new feature to the Relays’ schedule: shot put and long jump competitions, 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-the-art 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.

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.

KANSAS RELAYS RECORDS

HISTORY

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 ninetyseven 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.

Marion Jones, Amy Acuff and Charlie Gruber. From 2005-13, over 100,000 combined track and field fans 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.

LINDSAY VOLLMER AMY LINNEN

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.

R Rb H

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.

The Hamilton, Missouri native posted personal bests in all but one of the seven events throughout the two-day event.

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.

SHEILA CALMESE

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.

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 studentathletes; 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, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory schools or two-year colleges are considered prospective studentathletes. 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-to-face 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, two-year 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. 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. 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. 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.

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 studentathlete or a team with an occasional meal at your home. This meal can be catered and you may provide the student-athletes with transportation to attend the meal. All occasional meals must be pre-approved by the Athletic Compliance Office. 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.
