While their teammates competed at the Drake Relays, Penn Relays and the UMKC Invitational earlier in the weekend, a few Kansas distance runners took on the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational on Sunday.

Women’s Golf: Costner named to All Big 12 team

Senior women’s golfer Amanda Costner has been busy in the past several weeks. Just nine days after taking the individual title at the Big 12 Championship, Costner was named to the All Big 12 team.

Costner was selected to the team by the Big 12 head coaches.

She led Kansas with a 75.87 stroke average this season and was the first Jayhawk to win the individual Big 12 title. Costner is also the first Jayhawk to finish in the top 10 in the Big 12 Championship twice.
