Men's Golf

The Kansas men’s golf team finished in last place on Friday at the Hawaii-Hilo Intercollegiate in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

Kansas played in a competitive field that included national powers Oklahoma State University, Arizona State University, and Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech took home the team title, posting a total score of 825. OSU and USC rounded out the top three. Kansas finished with a total score of 905.

“They just hit poor shots,” Kansas coach Ross Randall said. “The worst thing was probably the short game — pitching and putting.”

Senior Pete Krsnich posted a 222, which was the best Kansas score. He tied for 63rd place overall. Senior Luke Trammell shot 227 overall and senior Jason Sigler 228 to end the tournament at 88th and 92nd, respectively. Junior Gary Woodland ended up tied for 98th with a total score of 230. Redshirt freshman Zach Pederson finished with a 236, tied for 104th on the individual leader board.

Anniversary

The Big 12 Conference announced its men’s basketball 10th Anniversary Team before Saturday’s game against Iowa State. Three of the starting five players were former Jayhawks.

Raef LaFrentz, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich were all selected to the team via a media panel and fan voting on the Big 12’s Web site, big12sports.com.

Former Texas point guard T.J. Ford and former Iowa St. power forward Marcus Fizer completed the starting five.

In order to be eligible for nomination to the team, the player must have been a first team All-Big 12 at least once in his career.

Track

The Kansas track and field team competed at two different events this past weekend. Some of the members were at the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa, and others were at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark.

Leading the way at the ISU Classic was the dynamic duo of senior thrower Sheldon Battle and sophomore thrower Egor Agafonov. Battle placed third in both the shot put and the weight throw. Agafonov won the men’s weight throw with a toss of 73 feet and three-quarter inches. Senior Benson Chesang placed second in the men’s 3000-meter run with a time of 7:58.05. Sophomores Coby Wissel and Paul Hefferon weren’t far behind Chesang, placing fifth and sixth in the same event. Senior Charisse Bacchus placed second in the women’s long jump with a leap of 20 feet five and three quarter inches.

At the Tyson Invitational, senior Brett Terp placed second in the men’s high jump, soaring 6 feet, three and a half inches. Sophomore Crystal Manning placed fifth in the women’s triple jump. Her leap of 41 feet, three and three quarter inches placed her second on KU’s all-time performance list.
