The University of Kansas women’s lacrosse team finished the first half of its season this past weekend. This may have come as a surprise to some in the KU community, as none of the results from the team’s first six games have appeared in the Kansan. Some years this lack of coverage is to be expected as staff sizes can shrink during the academic year.
This January however, the Kansan wrote that “one of the largest, most talented sports staffs in the newspaper’s 100 years of production” would be giving attention to club sports. To be fair, the examples given were bowling and ice hockey, both of whom have gotten coverage.
But what about KU rugby’s performance in the Big XII Championship down in Norman, Okla., in late February, or the Kansas men’s lacrosse victory over K-State last Friday, Lindsey Johnson’s 100th goal for the women’s lacrosse team, results of the Mardi Gras Tournament for the Ultimate Frisbee team? All of these teams are not just getting together here and there to play catch.
They are traveling all over the midwest, competing against other universities — in some cases against varsity squads — representing the University of Kansas as true student-athletes. They deserve better.
