Three newcomers join six recruits from fall season
The Kansas swimming and diving team added three more recruits Tuesday to an already loaded list of newcomers for the 2007-08 season.
The spring batch of signees consists of swimmers Joy Bunting and Lisa Dlugopolski and diver Erin Mertz. Bunting, a high school senior from Greenley, Colo., is expected to make an impact right away for the Jayhawks.
“Joy is the best breaststroker we’ve ever recruited,” coach Clark Campbell said in a press release released Tuesday.
Dlugopolski comes to Kansas from Mequon, Wis., where she earned All-state honors four years in a row as a swimmer for Homestead High School.
Mertz hails from Omaha, Neb., and dives for the Husker Stars Diving Club in Lincoln. She placed seventh on the three-meter board at junior nationals.
The trio, along with the six fall recruits, join a Kansas squad coming off strong finishes in last season’s Big 12 and NCAA Championships.
