Soccer

Kansas defender on national team

Holly Gault, junior defender, will wrap up a trip overseas with the U.S. Under-21 National Team Friday with a game against England in London.

On Feb. 10, the team embarked on a week-long trip that included matches against a top women’s division club team in London and the Scottish national team in Perth, Australia.

Other Big 12 members on the team include Texas AM goalkeeper Katie Jo Spisak and forward Ashlee Pistorius.

The selection to the national team was the latest in a string of accolades for Gault, a two-time first team All-Big 12 selection, first team All-American and a member of the Big 12 Conference Tenth Anniversary Team.

Track and Field

Track team splits for competition

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 3/4 inches.

Senior Benson Chesang placed second in the men’s 3,000-meter run with a time of 7:58.05.

Sophomores Colby 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 20-5 3/4 inches.

At the Tyson Invitational, senior Brett Terp placed second in the men’s high jump, soaring 6-3 1/2 inches.

Sophomore Crystal Manning placed fifth in the women’s triple jump.

Her leap of 41-3 3/4 inches placed her second on the University’s all-time performance list.
