TRACK & FIELD

2016 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.

2016 NCAA OUTDOOR Championship Qualifying Like the indoor championship qualifying, there will be no regional or national qualifying standards for the 2015 outdoor season. The top 48 athletes in each event will compete at one of two sites of the “National Championship Preliminary Round.” As part of the “West Region” Kansas athletes who qualify for the preliminary round of the NCAA Championships will compete in Lawrence, Kansas, May 26-38. Athletes will then compete in a bracket-style format through their respective events with the top 24 athletes advancing to the NCAA Championships in the individual events and top 16 moving on in the relay events.

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

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

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.

Maroszek earned her first Big 12 discus crown and tallied a fourth-place finish in the event at the national championships. Heather Bergmann ended her KU career with a school record javelin toss which earned her second-straight First Team All-America honor. For the men, Jesse Vaughn won the Big 12’s javelin championship, making it seven out of Kokhanovsky’s then-eight seasons that a KU male won a throwing event at the conference meet.

Twenty-twelve saw another standout season for Kokhanovsky’s athletes with the highlight coming when Krechyk claimed the Big 12 hammer throw title with her school and meet record toss of 69.02 meters (226’5”). Krechyk went on to be named a First Team All-American in the event and joined Kohkanvosky athletes Mason Finley (shot put, discus) and Heather Bergmann (javelin) to add their names to the First Team All-America lists.

Whittlesey and his wife, Carol, have two children: 11-year-old daughter Samantha and nine-year-old son Ryan.

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 an 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. 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.

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.

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 is a coach at heart. But when KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little introduced the Hays, Kansas, native as KU’s Athletics Director January 3, 2011, he promised not to call any plays for the coaches. That doesn’t mean, though, that he won’t be right there with them – and their student-athletes – every step of the way. For it’s his genuine care for coaches and student-athletes that has stamped his career in intercollegiate athletics. Since Zenger’s arrival at KU, those coaches and student-athletes have raised the bar with outstanding performances on both the conference and national stages. Highlights include:

• A National Championship for the Women’s Outdoor Track & Field team, and seven individual national championships. • An NCAA Final Four appearance for Men’s Basketball and five more Big 12 regular-season Championships, raising that streak of titles to 11. • Two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances for Women’s Basketball. • An NCAA Sweet 16 (and three straight NCAA appearances) for Volleyball. • NCAA Championship appearances for Softball (twice), Baseball, Soccer and Women’s Golf. • A National Coach-of-the-Year award (Stanley Redwine, women’s track and field) and several Big 12 Conference Coach-of-the-Year awards – Bill Self, men’s basketball (twice), Stanley Redwine, women’s track and field (twice), Ray Bechard, volleyball (twice), and Clark Campbell, swimming. During the last two academic years – 2013-14 and 201415 – 11 KU teams were represented in NCAA postseason competition, the most KU appearances in one year in more than a decade. Zenger has spearheaded a tremendous upgrade in Kansas Athletics’ facilities as well – improvements he expects will help KU’s coaches and student-athletes continue their run of outstanding performances. Most notable among these is the completion of Rock Chalk Park, which contains new, state-of-the-art stadiums for KU’s Track & Field, Soccer and Softball programs. Memorial Stadium has received a facelift as well. In summer 2014 the track surrounding the football field was removed, replaced with new artificial turf, bringing the turf to within 10 feet of the stands. In addition, construction is underway on the DeBruce Center, the permanent home of James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball,” adjacent to historic Allen Fieldhouse. Finally, the beautiful new McCarthy Hall, which houses the men’s basketball team and an equal number of distinguished non-student-athletes, opens its doors for the 2015-16 academic year.

Zenger came to KU after serving for five years as athletics director at Illinois State University, helping steer ISU Athletics to a place of prominence in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Redbirds won a conference-leading seven league titles during the 2009-10 season and captured their second Valley All-Sports Trophy in three years. ISU also reached highs in fundraising, academics and community service during Zenger’s tenure there. Zenger’s career took several turns before landing in athletics administration. After playing football at Fort Hays State and Mid-American Nazarene College, and even before he finished his undergraduate degree at Kansas State, he was pursuing his dream of coaching by assisting the football coaches at Manhattan (Kansas) High School. His first college football coaching job came at Drake University right after graduation; he then joined Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State, serving in key roles as assistant recruiting coordinator and director of football operations. It became evident, though, that more than coaching was in store for Zenger. He came to KU to earn his Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership, while strengthening his understanding of university leadership at the highest levels. Still, coaching stayed in his blood. He joined the football staff at the University of South Florida and then at the University of Wyoming before returning to Kansas State, eventually serving as KSU’s associate athletics director for development. He held that position until becoming Athletics Director at Illinois State in 2005. Zenger served for three years on the NCAA Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. He also served on two NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division committees, and was a member of the Executive Committee of NACDA’s Division I FCS Athletic Directors Association. He is married to the former Pam McAnarney; they have three children: Luke, Abby and Jake.

TRACK & FIELD BOB TIMMONS CHALLENGE

SYDNEY CONLEY

DECEMBER 6, 2014 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Kansas track & field opened its 2014-15 indoor season Saturday with the Bob Timmons Challenge inside Anschutz Pavilion. Seventeen event titles were won by Jayhawks on the day, including a pair by junior AllAmerican Sydney Conley. Coming off a breakout 2014 campaign that saw her attain First Team All-America honors twice, Conley appeared to pick up where she left off by claiming wins in two events. Her day started in the 60-meter dash, where she held off sophomore teammate Zainab Sanni by .02 seconds and earned the victory in 7.54. The time was only.03 seconds off Conley’s career best in the event and moved her up among the top times in the NCAA after the first week of the young 2014-15 campaign. Later in the day Conley laced up for her signature event, the long jump. She soared to a mark of 5.84 meters (19’2”), a distance the earned her the eventual win, her first inside her home facility of Anschutz Pavilion. On the men’s side junior Casey Bowen was the highlight after he took the pole vault title with a mark that is one of the best in the NCAA so far this year. Competing alongside seven of his KU teammates, the Gardner, Kansas product needed to clear only three bars on the day to pick up his second-straight victory at the Bob Timmons Challenge. Bowen slid over the 5.31 meter (17’5”) bar on his second attempt, a feat no other competitor could match. The reigning Big 12 Outdoor Champion was one of five Jayhawks to finish inside the top-five in the event and his winning mark had him atop the national standings for the 2014-15 indoor campaign. Sophomore teammate Nick Meyer was the runner-up in the event, while junior Jake Albright secured a third-place finish, both vaulting over a top height of 5.21 meters (17’1”). Senior All-American Lindsay Vollmer looked in midseason form has the combined event specialist sprinted to a win in the 60-meter hurdles. The 2013 NCAA heptathlon champion and two-time reigning Big 12 heptathlon title holder separated herself from the competition with relative ease, hurdling the six barriers and leaning across the finish in 8.43 to win the race by nearly half a second. The time was the fastest of Vollmer’s KU career and is a top-10 mark in the NCAA so far in the young season. Already with one victory in hand, Vollmer made her way to the high jump pit in hopes of picking up her second of the day. Sophomore teammate Grace Pickell had other intentions in mind as the Prairie Village, Kansas native turned in a career-best performance to earn her first career victory. Pickell rattled off three-straight clearances before her first miss of the afternoon came at 1.70 meters (5’7”), however, she easily navigated the bar on her next try to extend her day. Pickell then curled around a new personal-best height of 1.75 meters (5’8¾”) on her following attempt, a jump that would eventually give her the first win of her young KU career. Vollmer also managed to post a top mark of 1.75 meters but with Pickell only missing once on her first four bars, the tie-breaker went to the sophomore. It was a good day in the ring for the Jayhawk throwers as KU picked up three victories. Mitch Cooper got the day started off right in the weight throw. The sophomore out of Queensland, Australia unwound for a throw of 16.04 meters (52’7½”) on his final attempt to take the top spot. The mark was less a mere six inches from trying his personal best in the event. Junior Daina Levy followed Cooper’s lead in the women’s weight throw. She posted a personal-record mark of 18.89 meters (61’11¾”) on her third attempt to win the event by more than eight feet.

JANUARY 10, 2015 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Seven NCAA top-10 performances including a pair of victories from junior Sydney Conley highlighted Kansas track & field’s first meet of 2015, the Bill Easton Classic, inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The Jayhawk men and women picked up victories in eight events as they returned from a month-long break from competition. For the second-straight meet Conley picked up wins in two events, claiming titles in the long jump and 60-meter dash. The Fayetteville, Arkansas native kicked her day off in the long jump pit where she picked up her win at the season-opener last month with another Friday. Conley’s first jump of the day ended up being her best as she launched herself to a mark of 5.92 meters (19’5¼”). The mark moved Conley inside the top-10 of the NCAA standings in the young 2014-15 season. Hours later the junior settled into the starting blocks for the final of the 60-meter dash. Conley posted the fastest time in the preliminary heats earlier in the day (7.52), holding off teammate Zainab Sanni by .01 seconds, and made sure the order remained the same in the final. In what turned into an intrasquad battle, Conley was forced to hold off a strong run from the sophomore, Sanni. Conley outleaned the underclassman by .05 seconds to earn the victory and posted a new career-best time of 7.47. Conley’s clocking moved her into the top-10 of the national rankings in her second time on the day and made her the No. 5 performer in school history in the event. In addition to her personal best in the 60 meters, Sanni returned later to tally another career-best time in the 200 meters, a time that also moved her up inside the top-five of the NCAA ranks. The sophomore completed the 200-meter loop in a scorching 24.60, finishing second behind Kansas State’s A’Keyla Mitchell, who turned in an NCAA-leading time of 23.97 in the event. Sanni’s mark has her fourth in NCAA, the highest she has been ranked during her young Jayhawk career. Junior Anastasiya Muchkayev stepped into the shot put ring for the first time this season and again shined, turning in her best performance in nearly two years. Muchkayev posted a mark of 16.36 meters (53’8¼”) on her fifth throw of the day to eventually give her the win by nearly a foot. Her mark is the fifth-farthest mark in the nation this season and now gives her four of the six best shot put marks in school history. The Jayhawk runners got KU’s day on the track started on the right foot with wins in both the women’s and men’s 3,000-meter races. Sophomore Nashia Baker led from start to finish in the women’s race. After completing a breakout cross country season in the fall, the Lansing, Kansas native tallied her first collegiate victory on the oval after she completed the 1.8-mile race in a personal-best time of 10:05.59. Baker outpaced sophomore teammate Jennifer Angles who claimed the runner-up finish in 10:12.90.

The KU teams combined to score 202 points, finishing third behind Kansas State’s 261 points and Wichita State’s 217 points. Jayhawks claimed wins in four events and saw runner-up finishes in 12 of the day’s competitions. It was the middle distance and distance runners that delivered the most points for the Jayhawk men. Junior Evan Landes ran away from the field in the 3,000 meters his first time donning the Crimson and Blue in an indoor competition in nearly two years. The Mulvane, Kansas native met little resistance in running to his third-career win in the indoor 3,000-meter race. Landes crossed the finish in 8:26.93, nearly four seconds ahead of the rest of the field. The Jayhawks also featured the second and thirdplace finishers as freshman Chris Melgares earned the runner-up spot in 8:31.65, while senior James Wilson took third in 8:35.83. The KU men also snagged the top two spots in the 1,000 meters. Fresh off his 3,000-meter win at the Bill Easton Classic a week ago, senior Josh Munsch added another medal to his collection by claiming victory in the shorter 1,000-meter race. Munsch outkicked sophomore teammate Daniel Koech over the final 100 meters to earn the win in 2:30.01. Koech wasn’t far behind, posting a second-place finish in 2:30.13. The Jayhawk men and women dominated the 400-meter races. Senior Kenneth McCuin turned in another strong performance and picked up his first event victory of 2014-15. The Baltimore, Maryland product shaved .2 seconds off his previous season best to clock in with a winning time of 49.58. Less than five minutes later, sophomore Whitney Adams tallied a win of her own in the event. In her first outing of the season, Adams completed her two laps in 57.55 to outpace Kansas State’s Sarah Kolmer by .3 seconds. The win was Adams’ second collegiate win and is the third-fastest 400 meters clocked in the Big 12 so far this year. Off the track, it was Daina Levy who had another career day inside the weight throw cage. While she only managed to tally one fair throw, the junior made that one attempt count, hitting a mark of 19.02 meters (62’5”) on her second try. The toss surpassed Levy’s previous best by nearly six inches and elevated her to No. 2 on Kansas’ all-time weight throw chart, sitting only behind two-time All-American and school-record holder Alena Krechyk. Levy’s throw earned her a runner-up finish in the event and gave the Kansas women their first five points of the meet. Sydney Conley posted her best long jump mark of the season, however it wasn’t enough to give the junior her third win in the event of 2014-15. The All-American twice surpassed the six-meter mark, flying to a distance of 6.03 meters (19’9½”) on her third trip down the runway. The leap eventually earned her a runner-up finish, placing second only to Kansas State’s Akela Jones, who turned in the nation’s second-best mark this year.

JANUARY 29-30, 2015 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Senior James Wilson turned in a NCAA top-20 performance in the 3,000 meters while junior Sydney Conley claimed her third-straight 60-meter dash victory inside KU’s home facility. It was another banner day for the KU men’s distance squad, namely in the 3,000 meters. Four Jayhawks were through the finish before another school’s runner could cross. The Kansas contingent was led by Wilson, who took over the lead shortly after the gun and never relinquished it.

TRACK & FIELD BIG 12 INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS FEBRUARY 27-28, 2015 | AMES, IOWA

Senior Kenneth McCuin ran to victory in the 600 yards and claimed his first Big 12 title, while Casey Bowen and Lindsay Vollmer also earned conference championships as the Kansas men’s and women’s track & field teams concluded the Big 12 Indoor Championships Saturday inside the Lied Recreation Center. Both squads finished sixth in their respective team races with the men scoring 80.5 points and the women amassing 71 points during the two-day competition. A year after finishing second to teammate Michael Stigler in the 600 yards. McCuin returned to the Lied Center track in search of a title of his own. On Friday, McCuin took an important first step in that endeavor as he qualified for the final by way of a 1:09.88 clocking, the fastest among those who advanced to Saturday’s final. None of the other seven finalists could upend the senior in the final as McCuin sprinted to a relatively easy win, outpacing Texas’ Byron Robinson by .37 seconds. The win was the first individual Big 12 title for the senior, who posted the fastest 600-yard time of his Jayhawk career at 1:09.21. The Baltimore product now holds two of the fastest 600-yard races in KU history, both of which came inside the Lied Center. Competing in her first pentathlon of the season, Lindsay Vollmer picked up her second Big 12 title in the event in runaway fashion. The Hamilton, Missouri product posted career-best marks in four of the five competitions to win the event by more than 250 points and smash her previous school record by a whopping 281 points. Vollmer entered the last event with a nearly insurmountable lead of 154 points, meaning the 2.5 laps around the Lied Center’s 300-meter track would be an unofficial victory lap for the senior as she chased down her second-career league title. She crossed the finish in 2:22.56 to record her fourth personal best of the competition and wrap up an impressive day of scoring with her final total of 4,404 points.

Early in the afternoon junior Daina Levy posted her fourth career best of the 2015 campaign in the weight throw. Levy unleashed a toss of 20.49 meters (67’2¾”) on her fifth attempt to move herself up to second place. The mark, which was the sixth-best throw in Kansas history, was enough to keep her in the second spot to the finish. Junior Sydney Conley also picked up a second-place finish as she earned the long jump runner-up spot for the second-straight year. The Fayetteville, Arkansas native saved her best for last, flying to a mark of 6.24 meters (20’5¾”) on her sixth and final trip down the runway. The mark was just five inches behind the winner, KSU’s Akela Jones’, best leap. The Kansas women have now scored eight or more points in the long jump at the Big 12 Indoor meet in four-straight years. In the women’s shot put, Anastasiya Muchkayev tallied her first runner-up finish at a Big 12 Conference meet. The junior quickly moved to the top of the leaderboard after she hit 15.81 meters (51’10½”) with her first attempt. She remained in second for the remainder of the competition and further secured her grasp of the silver medal when she unleashed a toss of 16.10 meters (52’10”) in the fifth round. Muchkayev’s performance marked the best shot put finish by a Jayhawk at the league’s indoor meet since Stephanie Horton also took second at the 2008 championships.

LINDSAY VOLLMER

Bowen wrote another chapter in his highly-successful Jayhawk pole vaulting career Friday night by winning his first-career indoor league title. His win came on a personal-best vault, a clearance of 5.48 meters (17’11¾”) which moved him up the all-important 2015 NCAA rankings to 10th and gives him a strong chance of qualifying for the national championships in two weeks. Bowen’s win also continued a nearly decade-long trend of Kansas dominance in the indoor event as the victory marked the sixth time in eight years that a Jayhawk went home with the indoor pole vault title. The real highlight of the event was the Kansas men’s near sweep of the podium. Headed up by Bowen’s victory, Kansas saw four of its vaulters place among the top-seven finishers and combine for an enormous 23.5 points. Junior Jake Albright finished third (5.23m), sophomore Nick Meyer tied for fourth (5.23m) and junior Nick Maestretti placed seventh (5.08m). A pair of Jayhawk females turned in runner-up finishes to add 16 points to the women’s team scoring.

NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

MARCH 13-14, 2015 | FAYETTEVILLE, ARK.

Junior Casey Bowen earned a seventh-place finish in the pole vault at the NCAA Indoor Championships inside the Randal Tyson Track Center. Bowen’s finished earned him First Team All-America honors for the first time in his career and marked the 23rd time a Jayhawk pole vaulter has taken home AllAmerica honors from the indoor national championships, the most of any team in the nation. Bowen, who entered the day as the No. 12-ranked vaulter in the NCAA this season, got his day out to a strong start with a clearance on his first trip down the runway. The Gardner, Kansas native cleared 5.30 meters (17’4½”) to start his competition and immediately shoot up the leaderboard. Bowen then needed two attempts to get over his next height. With the bar at 5.40 meters (17’8½”), he managed to fly over the bar on his second try and cement his place among the top-eight finishers. Bowen made three strong attempts at the next progression, a height of 5.50 meters (18’0½”), which would have given the junior a new indoor career best. It wasn’t meant to be however, as he narrowly clipped the bar on each of his vaults, ending his day in a three-way tie for seventh place.

The top-eight finish still gave Bowen an All-America distinction for the first time in his career. His finish is also the first scoring effort by a Kansas male at the NCAA Indoor Championships since Mason Finley finished second in the shot put at the 2011 meet. Senior Lindsay Vollmer earned a 14th-place finish in the pentathlon. The finish came after Vollmer was forced to pull out of the final event, the 800 meters, due to an apparent leg injury suffered earlier in the day. The finish still earned Vollmer Second Team All-America honors in the event for the second time in her career. The day could not have started any better for Vollmer, who re-wrote the school record book in her first event of the competition. In the 60-meter hurdles, Vollmer’s time blew away the rest in her heat and was only topped by two other competitors in the 15-woman field as she leaned through the finish in 8.29. The time was not only a new career best, but also broke Ashley Brown’s eight-year-old Kansas record in the event by .03 seconds. Vollmer’s career mark earned her 1,064 points and shot her up the leaderboard to third overall as the pentathletes headed to the high jump pit. There were nervous moments for Vollmer and the Kansas camp on the long jump runway. The senior tallied fouls on both of her first two attempts, putting her entire competition in jeopardy if she were to foul a third time. Vollmer didn’t waiver under the pressure though, and posted a leap of 5.70 meters (18’8½”) on her third attempt. While the mark added 759 points to her overall score, the event proved to be a costly one for Vollmer as she injured her leg as she went through her warm-ups prior to the start. Sitting in seventh entering the fifth and final event, the 800 meters, Vollmer courageously gave it a go but was unable to complete the race and pulled out after the first 200 meters. Vollmer finished with a final score of 3,432 points to finish 14th overall. The place was good enough to put her on the All-America second team for the second time in her KU career.

TEXAS RELAYS

MARCH 25-28, 2015 | AUSTIN, TEXAS

Senior Michael Stigler picked up his third-consecutive Texas Relays 400-meter hurdle title in grand fashion as the Kansas hurdler posted a school record and world-leading time. Stigler’s time of 48.44 smashed his own school record by more than half a second and made him just the second athlete in meet history to garner 400-meter hurdle titles in three-straight years. Stigler, who earned a spot in Friday’s final by way of a 50.41 clocking in the preliminary race Thursday, was never challenged as he ran his way to his fifth 400-meter hurdle title in his last six meets. The Canyon, Texas native outpaced the rest of the field by more than a second and eased through the finish to earn his third Texas Relays win in the event. The clock read 48.44 moments after the Jayhawk crossed the finish, marking the fastest 400-meter hurdle time run by a collegian in nearly four years.

An NCAA-leading mark from junior long jumper Sydney Conley as well as a top-10 high jump performance from senior Nick Giancana closed out a strong showing from the Kansas track & field teams. Conley entered Saturday’s long jump competition well versed is garnering success at the Texas Relays. As a high schooler, she broke the meet record and won the long jump at the meet in 2012. Last season, she went home victorious in the B-Section long jump. Entered in the A-section Saturday, Conley again walked away from Mike A. Myers with some hardware. The All-American began her day with a bang after she soared to a mark of 6.50 meters (21’4”). The jump not only shot her to the top of the leaderboard, but inserted Conley’s name atop the 2015 NCAA outdoor rankings. Conley tallied three more jumps over 20 feet but was unable improve on her opening attempt. She finished as the top collegian, which marked the second time in three seasons a Jayhawk has won the A-Section long jump in Austin. In his first meet in a Jayhawk uniform in nearly two years, senior Nick Giancana showed little signs of rust en route to a third-place finish in the men’s high jump. The Topeka, Kansas product cleared a top height of 2.16 meters (7’1”), just an inch away from his career best in the event. The mark is the second-highest jump in the Big 12 this season and has Giancana ranked seventh in the NCAA after the first two weeks of the outdoor season.

JOHN MCDONNELL INVITATIONAL APRIL 10-11, 2015 | FAYETTEVILLE, ARK.

Another 1,500-meter win from junior Hannah Richardson as well as a pair of NCAA top-25 performances from senior Michael Stigler and junior Sydney Conley highlighted a strong day for Kansas track & field as the Jayhawks competed on the second and final day of the John McDonnell Invitational. The meet served as Kansas’ final tune-up prior to the Kansas Relays, set to run at Rock Chalk Park next week. Hannah Richardson claimed her second 1,500-meter crown in as many weeks as she blazed to victory on the shoulders of her fastest-career time in the event. The junior ran in stride with the front of the pack for the first 1,000 meters before kicking it into high gear. With 500 meters remaining, she flew by the leaders and used an impressive kick over her final lap of the track to win the race by more than four seconds. Richardson’s dominant performance produced a personal-record time of 4:18.43 and shot her into the top-10 of the national rankings.

The mark put Levy in the lead for nearly the entire competition, however Kansas State’s Sara Savatovic was able to top the Jayhawk’s measurement by just two centimeters on her final attempt. While Levy was forced to settle for the runner-up finish, she was still able to post the NCAA’s No. 5 mark of 2015 and moved to No. 2 on Kansas’ all-time hammer throw chart. Rhavean King also had a career day on the new track in Waco as she posted her fastest time to date in the 800 meters. The Memphis, Tennessee product completed her two laps in 2:08.23, which was good enough to earn the junior a third-place finish. The clocking bettered her previous personal record by over half a second and marked the seventh-fastest 800 meters ever run by a Jayhawk. Only four other Crimson and Blue-clad half milers have ever turned in a better time in the event. King’s performance moved her to the top-20 of the NCAA yearly rankings and up to No. 2 on the Big 12 chart. Junior Jacob Morgan wasted little time in adding his name to the Kansas record book after posting one of the fastest 10,000-meter times in school history at the Stanford Invitational. Morgan’s finishing time of 29:02.13 is the second-fastest in Kansas history and has him among the best in the NCAA this season. In the first meet of his outdoor Kansas career, Morgan continued his impressive first season donning the Crimson and Blue. The Topeka, Kansas product proved he belonged alongside some of the top distance runners in the nation as he completed the 6.2-mile race in 29:02.13 to smash his career best in the event and earn an eighth-place finish overall. Morgan’s performance was the best by a Jayhawk in nearly 26 years, when current school-record holder Craig Watcke turned in 28:51.54 at the 1989 Kansas Relays. The time also put Morgan at No. 20 in the latest 2015 NCAA rankings as well as No. 2 on the Big 12 chart.

KANSAS RELAYS

APRIL 15-18, 2015 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

Ten event titles propelled both the men’s and women’s Kansas teams to victories in the 88th Kansas Relays quadrangular competition inside Rock Chalk. The KU men came out on top in dominant fashion, dispatching of the other three squads by 69 points after tallying 226 points during the three-day event. The Kansas women amassed 194 points for the win, 22 points clear of second-place Kansas State. Senior Michael Stigler set the tone for the Jayhawk men early in the day as he defended his Kansas Relays title in the 400-meter hurdles with ease. The world leader in the event, Stigler was not about to allow himself a letdown on his home track. He made up the stagger quickly out of the blocks and never looked back, building a lead of more than 20 meters down the homestretch and clocking in at 50.07. The time was nearly two seconds ahead of the next finisher and gave Stigler his 10th 400-meter hurdle win in his last 13 races. One of the top performances from the women’s squad came from the high jump pit as senior Colleen O’Brien turned in the highest clearance by a KU female in over two decades. O’Brien needed only one attempt to get over 1.85 meters (6’0¾”), making her just the third Jayhawk woman in history to clear six feet. The mark earned O’Brien the win after Colorado State’s Jazmyn Webster was unable to match the Jayhawk’s career clearance. O’Brien now sits at sixth in the NCAA and first in the Big 12 Conference rankings. Another KU senior vertical jumper earned an event victory by way of a career-best earlier in the day. Senior Jaimie House, who had come close in her two outings prior, finally managed to vault over 4.20 meters (13’9¼”). The clearance bettered House’s previous best by four inches and moved her to No. 5 on Kansas’ all-time vaulting chart. The performance also shot House up the NCAA leaderboard as she now sits 15th in the nation and among the top-10 vaulters in the West Region.

After pulling ahead by 466 points after the first day of competition, Vollmer carried her momentum into day two of the Jayhawks’ first home meet of 2015. The senior tallied her fifth event win of the heptathlon when she posted the top long jump mark at 6.07 meters (19’11”). She continued her success in the javelin, also taking first in that event with a best throw of 42.58 meters (139’8”) shortly after dominating the long jump. In the final event, the 800 meters, Vollmer completed her half mile in 2:26.34 to put her into the recordbreaking category.

Kansas senior Lindsay Vollmer broke the meet record en route to a victory in the heptathlon. Vollmer set a precedent for the Jayhawks as she broke the meet record in the women’s heptathlon with 5,767 points, becoming the first KU female to claim the Kansas Relays heptathlon title in 17 years. The Hamilton, Missouri native broke the previous record set by Liz Roehrig of Minnesota in 2008 (5,740).

Junior Daina Levy had perhaps the most notable career achievement of the day as she launched one of the best hammer throw marks in school history. Levy uncorked a throw of 65.81 meters (215’11”) on her final attempt of the day to not only move into first on the leaderboard, but surpass her previous career-best mark by over seven feet. The career mark wasn’t enough to give Levy her second-straight Kansas Relays hammer throw title as Kansas State’s Sara Savatovic posted a personal-record throw of her own on her last trip into the ring. Despite being forced to settle with the runner-up finish, Levy’s mark ranks as the 10th-best in program history and moved her into the top-five of the national rankings.

It was a good start to the 2015 outdoor season for junior Sydney Conley and that continued in front of her hometown fans. The Fayetteville native, who holds the NCAA’s top long jump mark this year, raced to a runner-up finish in the 100-meter dash. Conley leaned across the finish in 11.52, which would have put her among the fastest in KU history had it not been for the strong tailwind that was over the allowable limit. Her time still was enough to rank the All-American among the top-20 in the NCAA this year.

Junior Daina Levy smashed her own career best with one of the NCAA’s top hammer throw marks to get the Jayhawks’ day started on a high note. Levy surpassed the 200-foot mark on three of her six attempts, with her top toss coming on her second trip into the ring. She hurled the implement a distance of 63.19 meters (207’4”), erasing her previous career best by almost two feet.

Stigler returned to the track alongside three of his teammates to close out the meet with a bang in the 4x400-meter relay. Kenneth McCuin, Jaime Wilson and Tre Daniels combined to put the KU squad in second as the baton got passed to the anchor, Stigler. He didn’t waiver despite trailing the leader by two strides in the final lap. On the final straightaway, Stigler passed up the leader and sprinted to the finish to give the Jayhawks the victory in 3:08.55, the team’s fastest time of the year.

A host of highly-ranked performances highlighted a solid outing for the University of Kansas men’s and women’s track & field teams at the Baylor Invitational. The Jayhawks, who were competing in the inaugural event at the Bears’ new facility, the Clyde Hart Track & Field Stadium, saw 13 performances that ranked inside the top-20 of the NCAA West Regional rankings, including a pair of marks that moved two more Kansas athletes into the top-10 of this season’s national standings.

The Jayhawks’ 400-meter hurdle specialist, Michael Stigler, also picked up the second win of his senior campaign, however it was in the shorter, 110-meter hurdle race. Stigler wasn’t challenged in the event as he outpaced the field by over .7 seconds after he clocked in at 13.78. The time was just .01 seconds from tying his own career best in the event and moved the three-time All-American among the top-10 in the latest 2015 national standings.

Richardson also managed to rewrite the school record book as her time ranks sixth on the KU chart and is the best mark by a Jayhawk in nearly five years. Only two other Kansas runners have turned in faster marks than Richardson’s career run in Arkansas.

2015 IN REVIEW

Stigler’s performance broke his own school record of 49.19 set at the NCAA Championships in 2013, as well as the Mike A. Myers stadium and the Texas Relays meet records. The running was also fractions of a second from moving the three-time All-American among the NCAA’s all-time fastest 400-meter hurdlers. His mark was a mere .02 seconds from making him the No. 10 performer in collegiate history.

TRITON INVITATIONAL

APRIL 24-25, 2015 | LA JOLLA, CALIF.

Junior Daina Levy claimed the top collegiate finish in a field of some of the top hammer throwers in the nation at the Triton Invitational. Levy also added a season-best mark in the discus and was joined by two other Jayhawks in top-25 finishes in the event with more than 70 competitors.

ROCK CHALK CLASSIC

MAY 2, 2015 | LAWRENCE, KAN.

In his final collegiate performance at Rock Chalk Park, senior Michael Stigler assured it would be a memorable one as he contributed to two of Kansas’ 16 event titles at the Rock Chalk Classic. Stigler posted another one of the world’s top times in the 400-meter hurdles and anchored the men’s 4x400-meter relay to victory in the Jayhawks’ final home meet of the year.

Levy entered the day one week removed from the best outing of her career when she tallied a personal record in the hammer throw at the Kansas Relays. The performance moved Levy to No. 5 in the latest NCAA standings and made her one of six hammer throwers ranked in the nation’s top-25 entered in the Triton Invite event Friday. On her second stroll into the throws cage, Levy unleashed a toss of 63.67 meters (208’10”), a mark which, for a short time, put her on top of the 74-woman field. Fouls on her next two attempts and marks which were not improvements on her last two throws resulted in professional Kristin Smith overtaking Levy for the lead. However, Levy managed to remain as the top collegian by the competition’s end.

Two weeks removed from claiming a 400-meter hurdle victory at the Kansas Relays, Stigler returned to the Rock Chalk Park track in hopes of leaving an even more lasting impression in one of his final outings in front of the home fans. Stigler did just that as he hurdled to another win in the event by nearly taking down his own school record in the event. The three-time First Team All-American had already put more than 10 meters between himself and the field less than halfway through the race before kicking it into high gear over the final 100 meters. He soared over the final hurdle and leaned across the finish in 48.86 for the second-fastest time of his career.

Levy, along with junior teammates Anastasiya Muchkayev and Dasha Tsema also earned top-25 finishes in the open division discus. Muchkayev turned in a top mark of 50.47 meters (165’7”) to finish 20th overall, with Tsema not far behind in 21st by way of a throw of 50.41 meters (165’4”). Levy hit a seasonbest performance in the event on the shoulders of a mark of 50.06 meters (164’3”), good enough for a 23rd-place finish.

To close out the day on the track, Stigler, along with teammates Drew Matthews, Jaime Wilson and Kenneth McCuin, tallied the Kansas’ men’s final win of the afternoon with the victory in the 4x400-meter relay. The first three legs kept KU narrowly in the lead for the first 1,200 meters but a pesky Oral Roberts squad was shoulder-to-shoulder with the Jayhawks heading into the final leg. Running as the anchor leg, Stigler refused to settle for anything less than first place. He quickly put space between himself and the ORU anchor and brought the KU baton home in a time of 3:11.97.

Sophomore Mitch Cooper claimed a fourth-place finish in the discus to close out a solid weekend for the Kansas throwers. Five other Jayhawks posted top-15 finishes among fields consisting of many of the top throwers in the nation. Cooper came within two feet of his career best en route to earning himself one of the top-two collegiate finishes in the open division discus. The sophomore posted a throw of 56.39 meters (185’0”) on his first attempt of the day. Only three other competitors where able to top Cooper’s throw, with Long Beach State’s Jacob Frasor the only collegiate thrower to post a better mark. Cooper was joined by four teammates in the event. Freshman Cole Ceban hurled out a toss of 55.65 meters (182’7”) to notch a seventh-place finish in the 55-man field. Senior Jonathan Miller tallied a top throw of 52.11 meters (174’3”), which was good enough to give him 11th place. Sophomore Kenny Boyer and junior Paul Golen finished 27th and 31st overall, respectively. Boyer managed a top toss of 44.72 meters (146’8”), while Golen managed a 43.35 meter (142’2”) effort. Ceban also made a showing in the invitational division of the shot put Saturday afternoon. The first-year Jayhawk hit 16.53 meters (54’2¾”) on his second attempt to claim 17th overall.

Freshman Cole Ceban and sophomore Mitch Cooper both turned in outstanding outings in the discus throw. The Jayhawk duo took the top-two collegiate finishes with marks that rank them each among the top-10 discus throwers in school history. Ceban managed to edge his elder teammate by less than an inch when he launched the disc to a mark of 58.06 meters (190’6”). Cooper came close but could not surpass the freshman with his toss of 58.05 meters (190’5”). Both throws moved the Jayhawks to eighth and ninth, respectively, among Kansas’ all-time discus throwers and into the top-25 of this season’s NCAA ranks. Sydney Conley tallied another impressive day in front of the hometown crowd as she collected wins in both the long jump and 100-meter dash. She entered the day still ranked as one of the top-five of the long jump and again proved she belonged in that company when she tallied another one of the farthest leaps in the NCAA this year. She soared to a mark of 6.57 meters (21’6½”) to win the event easily, topping the rest of the field by over a foot. Sharon Lokedi tallied her second 5,000-meter victory in as many appearances on her home track. The freshman ran at the front of the lead pack for the first 3,000 meters before she and Wichita State’s Sidney Hirsch pulled away from the rest of the field. Lokedi and Hirsch were neck-and-neck entering the final 200 meters, however Lokedi used a strong kick to outpace the Shocker down the homestretch. The first-year Jayhawk crossed the finish in a new personal best of 16:59.76 for a new Rock Chalk Park record. The performance also made Lokedi just the ninth Kansas female in program history to break the 17-minute barrier in the event.

BIG 12 OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS MAY 15-17, 2015 | AMES, IOWA

Not even 30-mile per hour wind gusts could keep senior Michael Stigler from racing into the history books as he claimed his fourth-consecutive conference 400-meter hurdle title on a blustery final day at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. In addition to Stigler, the Kansas men and women turned in several standout performances in the meet’s final day to give each squad top-five finishes in the team standings. The Jayhawk women notched their fourth-straight top-four finish with the help of their 101 points, while the KU men were fifth for the second time in three years after amassing 85.25 points. Stigler’s performance was no doubt the highlight of the day for the Jayhawk men, who tallied seven individual top-five finishes during the course of their final afternoon in Ames. After posting the fastest qualifying time in the preliminary heat Saturday, Stigler was well within striking distance of a fourth Big 12 title in the 400-meter hurdles. At the gun, the senior got out to a blazing start, making up the stagger before the field hit the second hurdle. He extended his lead through a powerful wind on the second curve and headed into the straightaway leading the field by nearly 10 meters. Stigler sprinted down the home straightaway and through the finish in 49.67 to win the event more than two seconds faster than the next finisher. Stigler’s win marked just the fourth time in Big 12 Outdoor Championship history an athlete has been victorious in a single event in four-consecutive years. The Canyon, Texas native joined Missouri’s Derrick Peterson (800m – 1997-2000), Baylor’s Darrold Williamson (400m – 2002-05) and Texas Tech’s Jonathan Johnson (800m – 2002-05) to earn a Big 12 outdoor four-peat. It was also the first time in program history a Kansas male has won four-straight individual conference championships. Junior Sydney Conley earned redemption after winning the long jump title on day two of the Big 12 Championships. The win was the first league title of Conley’s career and marked the third time in four years a Jayhawk was victorious in the Big 12 long jump. Conley, who entered Saturday’s event as the conference’s top-ranked long jumper in 2015, validated that title by posting three of the competition’s six furthest marks. The Fayetteville, Arkansas product took the lead on her second attempt and didn’t relinquish it for the rest of the day. Her best mark came on her third trip down the runway, when she hit 6.48 meters (21’3¼”). Runner-up finishes from junior Daina Levy and a trio of KU men’s pole vaulters, along with third-place finishes from seniors Jaimie House and James Wilson, resulted in the Kansas men’s and women’s track & field squads sitting in third after the first day of the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. Senior Lindsay Vollmer also added a career outing in the javelin en route to a fourth-place finish. The Kansas men’s pole vaulters again asserted their dominance over the rest of the conference with three of the four Jayhawks entered combining for over 17 points to the team scoring. Senior Aaron Blevins, junior Jake Albright and sophomore Nick Meyer each cleared 5.20 meters (17’0¼”),

which was good enough to earn them all a tie for second place. The mark, which was personal best more than eight inches for the veteran, Blevins, tacked on 5.75 points for the KU trio. The Jayhawk performance marked the fifth time in that last six years the KU pole vaulters combined for 11 or more points at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. The women’s pole vault also saw some strong Jayhawk performances. House needed only three trips down the runway to pick up a third-place finish, her second top-three finish at the conference outdoor meet in as many years. She cleared three bars on the day, each on her first try, with the best a height of 4.08 meters (13’4½”). Freshman Laura Taylor tallied a seventh-place finish in her first Big 12 outdoor appearance after she turned in a top clearance of 3.93 meters (12’10¾”). Daina Levy got the Jayhawks’ weekend started strong early in the day with another impressive showing in the hammer throw. The NCAA’s fifth ranked athlete in the event, Levy held the lead through the first four rounds of throws, posting 65.31 meters (214’3”) on her fourth trip into the cage. That mark would only be topped by one other competitor in the field, which meant Levy garnered the runner-up finish and the Kansas women’s first eight points of the conference championships.

NCAA WEST PRELIMINARY MAY 28-30, 2015 | AUSTIN, TEXAS

The Kansas track & field teams turned in a solid outing at the NCAA West Preliminary as 11 Jayhawks advanced in 12 events to the national championships at the meet held in Austin, Texas. Michael Stigler made another statement along the road to his fourth-straight 400-meter hurdle qualification to nationals. The senior once again left the rest of the field in the dust in the quarterfinal heat, rounding the track in another time that is among the fastest in the world this year. Stigler crossed the finish in 48.64, just .2 seconds off his personal best and the third race in which he has gone under 49 seconds this year. His performance was the fastest out of both the West and the East regions and gives Stigler the three-fastest times in the collegiate ranks this year. The owner of three of the world’s eight fastest 400-meter hurdle times in 2015, Stigler will journey to the National Championships for the fourth-straight year and look to improve upon back-to-back runner-up finishes in each of the last two NCAA meets.

Earlier in the day, two KU pole vaulters used career-high clearances to secure their first journey to the NCAA Championships. Junior Jake Albright and sophomore Nick Meyer each came up with some clutch, third-attempt clearances with the future of their 2015 seasons hanging in the balance. Meyer was the first to clear with the bar at 5.35 meters (17’6½”), bettering his previous career best by two inches. Two vaulters later, Albright followed his younger teammate’s lead by posting a personal-record clearance of his own. The two Jayhawks’ marks earned them top-12 finishes as well as qualifying spots to the national meet in two weeks. Twenty-four hours removed from posting a career time in the 200 meters, Zainab Sanni added another somewhat notable accolade to her résumé as she advanced to her first NCAA Championships. Competing in the quarterfinals of the 200 meters, the sophomore held on for the 12th and final qualifying spot after she leaned through the finish in 23.39. The time was .01 seconds slower than her personal best from one night prior, but was .05 seconds faster than Boise State’s Mackenzie Flannigan, which was the difference between the last spot to nationals and the first non-qualifying spot. Kansas ended the meet sending a total of 11 athletes to compete in 12 events at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field. The No. 25-ranked Kansas women saw the following advance: Sydney Conley (long jump), Daina Levy (hammer throw and discus), Colleen O’Brien (high jump), Hannah Richardson (1,500 meters), Zainab Sanni (200 meters) and Lindsay Vollmer (heptathlon). The Jayhawk men’s contingent will feature Jake Albright (pole vault), Cole Ceban (discus), Mitch Cooper (discus), Nick Meyer (pole vault) and Michael Stigler (400-meter hurdles). On her second trip down the runway, Conley hit a mark of 6.43 meters (21’1¼”) to immediately shoot up the leaderboard to third overall. That jump was enough to carry her on to the final three round of jumps but Conley’s name continued to get pushed down due to some equally-impressive marks by the NCAA championship-caliber field. As the fifth round came, Conley found herself in eighth place and in danger of falling outside the all-important top-eight. The stay in eighth didn’t last long. She sprinted down the runway and soared to a distance of 6.60 meters (21’8”) to move up to fifth overall, where she eventually ended her day. Conley’s mark, though slightly over the allowable wind limit for official personal records, was the farthest of her three-year KU career and marked the best jump in NCAA Championship history by a fifth-place finisher. The performance earned Conley First Team All-America honors at the outdoor meet for the second-straight season and the third time in her career. Kansas has now had at least one First Team All-American in the long jump in four-consecutive years.

Sydney Conley journeyed to the Hayward Field long jump runway in the midst of one of the best stretches of her career. Last month she won her first Big 12 Conference title in the event and in her next outing at the NCAA West Preliminary, she turned in a career-best mark to earn a spot in her third-consecutive national championship meet. The Fayetteville, Arkansas native carried that momentum onto the runway Thursday, which resulted in another career performance.

It was a disappointing end for senior Lindsay Vollmer in the heptathlon. Entering the day, the 2013 NCAA champion was positioned fifth overall with 3,621 points which stood as a new career-best for Vollmer after the first day of competition. In the first event of day two, the long jump turned things south as she was unable to record a fair mark, fouling on each of her three attempts. With no score to report for the competition, Vollmer scratched out of the two remaining heptathlon events and failed to place.

Stigler posted a winning time of 48.84, marking the fourth race he has turned in a sub-49 second clocking in the event this season. The win made him the third Jayhawk to garner a national championship in the 400-meter hurdles and the first since Cliff Cushman won the event in 1960. The victory gave Kansas its 36th NCAA Outdoor Champion in program history and the first since 2010. Stigler also became the first Jayhawk in program history to earn First Team All-America honors in a single event in four-consecutive years.

Albright earned a 10th-place finish, while Meyer claimed 13th. The Jayhawks, who both earned Second Team All-America honors, added their names to the already impressive history of the pole vault at Kansas. Their finishes marked the first time since 1989 KU saw two Jayhawks finish among the top-15 in the NCAA Championship pole vault.

Stigler made his way to the starting blocks Friday as a two-time runner-up in the NCAA event, both second-place finishes coming on the same Hayward Field track. As was the case a year ago, the Canyon, Texas product was the heavy favorite to win the title that had twice eluded him. The starting gun went off and Stigler, like he has done throughout his career, quickly and forcefully made up the stagger by the time the field reached the second hurdle. He continued to build his lead through the first straightaway and entered the Bowerman Curve already with a 10-meter lead after the first half of the race. Stigler held that lead as he made his way to the home straightaway, though Illinois’ David Kanziera and Boise State’s Jordin Andrade made some late pushes to try and rob Stigler of the win. This time though, Stigler held off the competition. The senior soared over the final two hurdles and sprinted through the finish to claim the victory, over half a second ahead of the runner-up Futch.

Competing in their first NCAA Championship meet, Jayhawk pole vaulters Jake Albright and Nick Meyer didn’t seem to be star struck as the both tallied top-15 finishes among the best vaulters in the collegiate ranks. The KU duo cruised through the first two heights, Albright needing only two attempts and Meyer needing four to tackle the opening two heights. Each with clearance over 5.30 meters (17’4½”) under their belts, both Jayhawks tallied three solid attempts at 5.40 meters (17’8½”) but neither managed to get over, which ended their competitions.

Kansas senior Michael Stigler ran into the history books as he claimed to a national title in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Track & Field Championships in Historic Hayward Field. The win marked the first NCAA title for Stigler and the 36th individual NCAA Outdoor title in program history.

Levy’s finish earned her First Team All-America honors for the first time in her career and marked the third time in four years a Jayhawk garnered All-America status in the hammer throw.

JUNE 8-11, 2015 | EUGENE, ORE.

Junior Daina Levy was the top qualifier out of both the East and West Regional meets in the hammer throw and looked to remain among the top of the list following the NCAA final. The Mississauga, Ontario native opened her series with a foul on her first attempt, but rebounded on her second trip into the throws cage. She unleashed a toss of 63.42 meters (208’1”) to shoot up to sixth on the overall leaderboard. The junior surpassed the 200-foot mark on three of her final four attempts; however, Levy could not improve upon her second throw. That mark was good enough to keep her in sixth place over the final four rounds and earn her the best finish at the NCAA Championships of her career.

2015 IN REVIEW

Hannah Richardson turned in the gutsiest outing of her collegiate career in the quarterfinals of the 1,500 meters. She clocked in with the fastest 1,500-meter time of her Jayhawk career, crossing the finish in a blistering 4:16.73. The time was more than good enough, with her clocking ranking faster than any of those who ran in the second quarterfinal heat.

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 Championships. 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.

at KU. Little did Jayhawk fans know that Jim Ryun would become one of the most prolific track figures in history. In 1964, at the age of 17, Ryun became the first high schooler to run a 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. Over the last four seasons Andrea Geubelle raised the bar in the women’s triple jump and long jump. She collected three NCAA titles in the events over her heralded career in Lawrence (2010-13) and rewrote the school record books in the triple jump.

THE RISE OF THE WOMEN’S PROGRAM While the men are entering their 114th year of competition, the women are youthful in comparison. KU women’s track is in its 42nd year as an organized program, having started in 1973. In some ways, the women’s program started out in similar fashion to the men: both programs had no formal guidance in their formative years, and both were led by coaches who gained more notoriety in other sports. Under the direction of former KU women’s basketball coach Marian Washington, the women’s track program was born in 1973. In addition to coaching basketball and track, she also served as the women’s athletics director.

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 fourth 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 AllAmerican 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.

2016

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. LEO BOOKMAN

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

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

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

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 third-consecutive 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.

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.

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 All-America honors.

The high finish vaulted the KU women into the national spotlight over the next 15 months as the team entered the 2013 campaign as one on a short list of favorites to win a national championship. The women made history early in the year with their first conference title at the Indoor Big 12 Championships in February, going on to claim their second-straight national runner-up finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships two weeks later. That set the stage for an outdoor season to remember, one which saw the KU women accomplish feats never before seen by a female program at the University of Kansas. In May, the Jayhawks completed the sweep by winning the Outdoor conference championship with the help of eight individual Big 12 titles.

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.

A month later, sitting as the nation’s top-ranked squad, Kansas ventured to Eugene, Oregon where it would spend four memorable days at the NCAA Championships. The Jayhawks accumulated 60 points throughout the meet, most of which came from Andrea Geubelle and Lindsay Vollmer.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

At the outdoor NCAA championships, Anderson (100 meters and 200 meters) and Manning (long jump and triple jump) each won two All-America honors. Only one other woman had accomplished the feat in KU history (Candace Mason). Anderson went on to earn a spot in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, as a member of Jamaica’s 4x100-meter relay team.

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 AllAmerica honors for the second time in his career.

With Geubelle’s and Dixon’s titles along with First Team All-America 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.

HISTORY

Lauren Bonds set two school records during the indoor season in the 1,000 meters (2:46.60) and the mile (4:43.74). Colby Wissel, a Redwine protege, hit four NCAA qualifying times in three different events during the indoor season, while also cracking the Kansas all-time bests list in the mile, 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters.

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.

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 and field as Easton was replaced by Bob Timmons as head coach in 1965. Kansas continued its dominance of the conference with the appearance of Wichita, Kan., native Jim Ryun. Perhaps the most decorated Jayhawk track athlete ever, Ryun has four Kansas Relays Most Outstanding Performer titles to his credit (1966-67-6971). 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 still owns the 100- and 200-meter dash records. Former Iowa State standout and Olympic gold medalist Nawal El Moutawakel of Morocco set a collegiate record in the 400-meter hurdles in 1984.

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

163 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 competition, held on the streets of downtown Lawrence. Hundreds of fans enjoyed the events, which brought in many elite athletes including seven of the top 15 throwers in the world. The 85th Relays in 2012 featured another historical moment as fans saw the world record broken for the largest single serving of nachos. On the track, Bershawn “Batman” Jackson shined again, winning the 400-meter hurdles for the seventh time while Reese Hoffa took the trophy at the second Downtown Shot Put event. Hoffa went on to claim bronze at the 2012 London Olympics. In its final meet inside Memorial Stadium, the 2013 Kansas Relays was one to remember as a world-leading 400-meter hurdle time by Michael Tinsley and three individual titles by Lawrence Free State’s Alexa Harmon-Thomas highlighted the week’s performances. The duo’s outings earned them Outstanding Performers of the Meet accolades.

The Relays turned the page to a new chapter as when it moved from its 86-year Memorial Stadium home to the brand new, state-of-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. Two-thousand and five also saw the addition of the GOLDZONE, a three-hour window in the meet that featured over 30 former Olympians. The second-largest crowd in Kansas Relays history (24,200) watched as several world-class athletes performed at the highest level, including Maurice Greene,

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. At the past seven Relays, over 100,000 combined track and field fans have passed through the gates at Memorial Stadium. The GOLDZONE continued in 2007, the 80th edition of the Kansas Relays, as some of the greatest athletes in the world continued to flock to Lawrence in order to etch their names alongside the legendary track & field athletes who have covered the past 80 years of the Kansas Relays.

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.

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.

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.
