Jayhawks swimmers lose at Arkansas

Friday, January 23, 2009

The Jayhawks lost a close meet at No. 19 Arkansas on Thursday by a score of 165-135.

Abigail Adams, Hendersonville, Tenn., freshman, said the team swam well together despite the loss. Adams was pleased with her individual performance and said she would be ready for the team’s home meet on Saturday.

Adams said the coaches and the team knew what they needed to work on before the next meet and the conference championships.

Swimming & Diving at No. 19 Arkansas

Final Score: 165-130 Arkansas

Kansas’ nonconference record this season: 7-1

Next opponent: South Dakota and North Iowa, 3 p.m. Saturday in Robinson Natatorium

“The championships are based on power rankings and our coaches are trying to get in those final good swims,” Adams said.

Adams said the team would be ready for its double dual this weekend despite having just one day to rest.

“It’s going to be a rough one going back to back with travel,” Adams said, “but we’ve trained for it and we’re fit for it.”

The Jayhawks competed in four away meets during the past two weeks, but they will get a break from traveling with its first home meet on Saturday at 3 p.m. in Robinson Natatorium.

Kansas (8-3) will host South Dakota (1-5) and Northern Iowa (0-5).

The Arkansas loss followed a shaky win in Nebraska on Jan. 17.

Only one meet remains before the Big 12 Conference Championships, so the Jayhawks are hoping to find some consistency in the pool soon.

Coaches Clark Campbell and Eric Elliott said the individual swimmers were fine-tuning their performances for a strong presentation at the conference championships.

“We’re going to get some of our swimmers doing their third events that they don’t get to do too much,” Campbell said in a press release earlier this week.

“It will be good because we’ll be able to manipulate our lineup a little bit on Saturday.”
