The last time Kansas faced off against Missouri in track and field, in 1976, the Tigers won. After a 33-year hiatus, Kansas was looking to revive the rivalry with a victory of its own. Things didn’t go Kansas’ way, as Missouri beat Kansas on its own track.

On Friday the Jayhawks hosted a dual meet at Anschutz Pavilion and the Tigers walked away with a victory of 195 to 166.

“We had some decent performances,” coach Stanley Redwine said. “Some of our performances that we did win wasn’t what they wanted.”

On the field, seniors Eric Fattig and Dustin Turner tied for second place in the long jump with identical jumps of 7.18 meters (23.5 feet).

“There’s always room to improve,” Turner said. “Minor things that we can change in practice, it will get changed by conference.”

In the women’s high jump, junior Elizabeth Beisner took first place with a jump of 1.63 meters (5.3 feet). In women’s shot put, senior Stephanie Horton took second place with a throw of 14.62 meters (47.9 feet).

But junior Jordan Scott’s pole vault performance was the highlight of the field events. Scott’s jump of 5.50 meters (18 feet) on Friday qualified him for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

“It’s a good feeling, especially being the third meet,” Scott said. “I never hit it this early in the year. I was really excited about it.”

Kansas earned some victories in the sprints. Senior Victoria Howard and freshman Keith Hayes took first In the 200 meter dash with times of 25.21 seconds and 22.79 seconds respectively.

Running the 200 was an experiment for Hayes, and he said he felt that he could run the 200 at future meets. Hayes also finished first in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.07 seconds. He said he was more relaxed at that event.

“I wasn’t running necessarily for time,” Hayes said. “I was just running for the win. But for me being relaxed, 8.07 is not bad.”

In the 400 meter, Kansas was victorious. Two seniors took home first place: Sha’Ray Butler won with a time of 57.15 seconds and Jarrell Rollins with 49.51 seconds.

In the 600 yard run, senior Charity Stowers took second for the Jayhawks.

In the 1-mile run, both senior Colby Wissel and junior Lauren Bonds took second place.

The team’s next meet won’t be until Jan. 31 when it travels to Lincoln, Neb. to compete at the Adidas Classic.

Redwine said that although it was an off-week the team planned to continue training.
