MEN'S GOLF
Woodland places second after rough first round
The men’s golf team tied for fifth Tuesday at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic. Kansas recorded the top score in the final round.
Senior Gary Woodland tied for second place, he shot a 66 in the final round. It was his eighth top-10 finish this season.
“We played a lot better today,” coach Ross Randall said in a press release. “Really if we had not dug ourselves such a big hole in the first round we very well could have won the tournament the way we played the last two rounds of play.
Senior Tyler Docking finished in a tie for 31st. Senior Barrett Martens finished in a tie for 46th and junior Joey Mundy tied for 56th.
The Jayhawks next tournament is the Big 12 Championships on April 23-24 in Praire Dunes.

TRACK
Big 12 names Saunders third 2007 Athlete of the Week
After winning the Texas Relays’ long jump competition with a leap of 25-10 feet last weekend, the Big 12 named junior Barrett Saunders its Male Co-Athlete of the Week.
Not only was Saunders’ distance enough to qualify him for the regional meet at the end of the regular season, but it’s also nearly 16 inches farther than his previous personal best and the farthest outdoor jump in the nation. The junior finished eighth in the event at the 2007 Big 12 Indoor Championships.
Texas’ Joseph Davis shares the award with Saunders, winning the Texas Relays triple jump with a nation-leading distance of 52-00.50.
Saunders’ honor makes him the third track and field athlete to be named athlete of the week during the 2007 season. Also receiving recognition were junior pole vaulter Kate Sultanova (Feb. 13) and sophomore hurdler Ashley Brown (March 27).
The Jayhawks travel to the John Jacobs Invitational in Norman, Okla., this weekend.

SOFTBALL
The Kansas and Missouri Border Showdown between the softball teams is postponed because of wet and cold conditions in Columbia, Mo.
Both teams agreed to cancel Wednesday’s game due to the poor conditions. They rescheduled the game for Wednesday, April 18 when Missouri comes to Arrocha Ballpark.
The meeting next week was supposed to be a single game, but will now be a double-header with game one starting at 3 p.m.
Kansas (27-14-1, 3-4 Big 12) now gets more time off before hosting Texas A&M (31-6, 5-3 Big 12) this weekend in Lawrence.
The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. this Saturday against the Aggies at Arrocha Ballpark.
