Distance runners expected to highlight in Oklahoma

The Kansas track and field team travels to Norman, Okla., today for the John Jacobs Invitational.

Jayhawk juniors Paul Hefferon and Colby Wissel will run in the 5,000 meters. Junior Patrick McGowan will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Scheduled to run in the 1,500 meters are senior Melissa O’Rourke, juniors Melissa Moody and Lisa Morrisey, and freshmen Kellie Schneider and Cassi Sokol.

Competing in the long jump Saturday is Co-Big 12 Athlete of the Week, Barrett Saunders, who is fresh off of a victory at the Texas Relays. Saunders’ jump of 25-10 feet is a personal best and leads the nation. Junior Crystal Manning will take on the long jump, triple jump, 200-meter dash and run as a leg in the 4x100-meter relay team. Senior Benson Chesang will make first outdoor appearance of 2007 in the 1,500 meters.
