jjakowatz@kansan.com The 5:30 a.m. alarm has been roaring for the past five minutes. Brianna Ryan finally comes to, and slams her hand on the cell phone to shut it off. She eases her way out of bed, and sluggishly shuffles toward her daughters play pen. Its time to wake up Zoey and start the day. Ryan, an incoming freshman from Huntington Beach, Calif. will be completing her college education at the University in the fall. Ryan is one of more than 11 million people in the United States who are single parents. Ryan moved to Lawrence about six months ago because the cost of living in California was too expensive for her and her daughter. There was no way she could work a minimum wage job, pay for food, rent and all of Zoeys expenses, and go to school, or even save enough money to eventually go back to school. Currently, Ryan is working at a warehouse and making a decent hourly wage when she gets called in to work, that is and is paying her own rent and food as well as taking care of her daughter. But a warehouse job wont cut it for Ryan, and that is why she will be starting her college education in the fall. I decided to go back to school because I am not satisfied with giving my daughter the bare minimum, Ryan said. Ryan will join the ranks of thou-

Womens activist to lecture on immigration reform

reggleston@kansan.com Made famous by her calls for expanded contraceptive insurance coverage in front of House of Representatives Democrats and the following criticism from conservative media outlets, Sandra Fluke is stopping by the University to present her lecture Making Our Voices Heard. The lecture will take place tonight at 7:30 in the Kansas Unions Woodruff Auditorium. The presentation is this years installment of the Hall Centers Emily Wilson and Marilyn Stockstad lecture series. The presentation, which will be followed by a question and answer session with Fluke, will focus on immigration reform specifically in regards to the unique concerns of women and families. Backed by the National Effort of March and the National Coalition for Womens Rights, Flukes interest in promoting the rights of immigrants meshes with the principles of students in favor of social progress. I feel its important to step up and be a force for social justice, Fluke said. For college students, you are privileged to have the flexibility to learn where you fit in within a community, so in return you have a responsibility to engage the issues that are important to this community and to other communities.

Despite Flukes sponsorship of clear policies for women such as the national Paycheck Fairness Act and the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights in California, activists assert that no single policy will stimulate lasting social change alone. There is not one answer in finding gender equity, Rose-Mockry said. There are many things that need to come into play, but first we need to raise awareness. Policies that currently exist that send women back must be challenged. We need to look at the climate in which these policies evolve. Whether policy requires a broad view or an intimate dissection, Fluke and other activists agree that social change is possible at all levels, from a worldwide scale to Massachusetts St. itself.

Much of the good advocacy we see today occurs close to home, Fluke said. If not at school, you are able to look toward the community, as well. We have an ability to bring about really important social change, but we need to remember that, at this point, its still an opportunity, not an accomplishment. Edited by Alyssa Scott

Its getting to know what the candidates value, who they are and what they stand for, Tetwiler said. Woodard said students have seen both coalitions out chalking and tabling, but they havent had an opportunity to hear from both sides in a neutral environment.

Senate creates task force against highway construction

HannaH Barling
hbarling@kansan.com Student Senate finalized the task force that will work to suspend the construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway in order to preserve the Wakarusa Wetlands. The task force consists of representatives of KU Environs, First Nations student organization, Haskell Wetlands Preservation, University faculty and administration, student senators and the student body president. Kansas Department of Transportation plans to construct the South Lawrence Trafficway in the fall and the route it has chosen runs directly through the Wetlands. Student Senate chose the task force to further investigate the issue and create a final proposal to send to the University administration. Student Body President Hannah Bolton said the task force will be the student voice. The task force will make a statement that people should care more about the Wetlands rather than let them disappear. She said that preserving the Wetlands is important for research and for students who have ties to the actual ground. It has an incredible educational value, and that is important to keep in mind, Bolton said. Creating awareness can get more people interested in advocating for it, Bolton said. Haskell Indian Nations University had sole rights to the Wetlands until the Indian Termination period in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, the University, along with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and Baker University share the rights to the land. The Wetlands cover more than 640 acres. Baker owns 573 acres, Haskell owns 27 acres, the University owns 20 acres and KDWPT also owns 20 acres. The South Lawrence Trafficway will run through the Wetlands owned by the University, Baker and KDWPT, next to Haskells portion. Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, has worked with other University and Haskell students and members of the community to stop the construction. He said if the University gives its share of the Wetlands back to Haskell, the construction would end. My hope is that it brings together KU administration, KU students, Haskell administration and students and maybe even Baker administration and students, Sultana said. Sultana said everyone has a stake in this issue and the task force is a way to bring in student input. Sarah Kraus, a junior from Allen, Texas, is a member of KU Environs and Ecojustice. She said they have worked with the Wetlands Preservation Organization to raise awareness by attending Lawrence City Council meetings and speaking out against the construction. They have also hosted fundraising projects such as Swampfest in February. Kraus said aside from the environmental issues with the construction, the critical ecosystems in the Wetlands service the community by providing biodiversity. Haskell has a special connection with the Wetlands. When Haskell was a boarding school, students were not allowed to contact their families. Kraus said students used the Wetlands as a safe haven to talk with their families and for spiritual purposes. Because some of the students died in the Wetlands, Kraus said that the destruction of the Wetlands would destroy sacred grounds. The task force plans to meet for the first time April 5. It will meet three times before May 1 to finalize a proposal to send to administration. Edited by Tara Bryant The rst class of students at KU was in the Fall of 1866, and consisted of 29 men and 26 women.

U.S. Supreme Court begins debate on same-sex marriage

assOCiaTed press
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court dove into a historic debate on gay rights Tuesday that could soon lead to resumption of same-sex marriage in California, but the justices signaled they may not be ready for a major national ruling on whether Americas gays and lesbians have a right to marry. The courts first major examination of gay rights in 10 years continues Wednesday, when the justices will consider the federal law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving a range of benefits afforded straight married people. The issue before the court on Tuesday was more fundamental: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partners gender? The fact that the question was in front of the Supreme Court at all was startling, given that no state recognized same-sex unions before 2003 and 40 states still dont allow them. There is no questioning the emotions the issue stirs. Demonstrators on both sides crowded the grounds outside the court, waving signs, sometimes chanting their feelings. Inside, a skeptical Justice Samuel Alito cautioned against a broad ruling in favor of gay marriage precisely because the issue is so new. You want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cellphones or the Internet? I mean, we do not have the ability to see the future, Alito said. Indeed, it was clear from the start of the 80-minute argument in a packed courtroom, that the justices, including some liberals who seemed open to gay marriage, had doubts about whether they should even be hearing the challenge to Californias Proposition 8, the states voter-approved gay marriage ban. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potentially decisive vote on a closely divided court, suggested the justices could dismiss the case with no ruling at all. Such an outcome would almost certainly allow gay marriages to resume in California but would have no impact elsewhere. There was no majority apparent for any particular outcome, and many doubts were expressed by justices about the arguments advanced by lawyers for the opponents of gay marriage in California, by the supporters and by the Obama administration, which is in favor of same-sex marriage rights. The administrations entry into the case followed President Barack Obamas declaration of support for gay marriage. On the one hand, Kennedy acknowledged the recentness of samesex unions, a point stressed repeatedly by Charles Cooper, the lawyer for the defenders of Proposition 8. Cooper said the court should uphold the ban as a valid expression of the peoples will and let the vigorous political debate over gay marriage continue.

Demonstrators chant outside the Supreme Court in Washington yesterday as the court heard arguments on Californias voter approved ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8.

In this presentation, social justice advocate Sandra Fluke will discuss her notable experience in 2012 before a House panel, in which she passionately testified on the need to provide access to contraception. She discusses how even though she was raked over the coals by conservative political commentators, rather than respond in kind, she transformed the media focus into an opportunity to advocate for important social justice concerns for women. Her inspiring talk is nothing short of a call to audience members to make their own voices heard and create social change and legislative action on issues that are important to them.

Stoker brings great cast to a predictable script T

he macabre story of Stoker concerning a young woman whose creepy, murderous uncle causes trouble when he moves in with her and her widowed mother makes for a sensational tale of violent family dysfunction, but its actually the weakest aspect of the film. The script, by Prison Break star Wentworth Miller, takes inspiration from the Hitchcock classic Shadow of a Doubt. Its able to keep interest and a sense of perversity bubbling throughout, but it progresses slowly and predictably. Thanks to director Park Chanwook and stars Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman, however, its a brooding, finely crafted and chillingly performed experience, where a distinct style rightfully trumps the lacking substance. This creates a greater appreciation for the nuance and technical prowess as they rise to the forefront and the plot takes a backseat. There are some occasional great ideas and moments in the story though, which begins on the 18th birthday of India (Wasikowska), whose father (Dermot Mulroney) mysteriously dies in a car accident the same day. Having no other friends besides him, India coldly shuts off to the rest of the world, while her mother (Kidman) seems relieved about the loss. Then her uncle Charlie (Goode) who she

previously had no idea existed moves into the house with them carrying dark secrets, a threatening yet alluring interest in her mother and India, and dangerous, twisted intentions. Known for his vengeance trilogy (which includes the ultimate South Korean revenge thriller Oldboy) and the boldly unique vampire flick Thirst, Chan-wook brings his wicked, attention-grabbing sensibilities to Stoker, and man does he make an impression. A crackling sound design creates a higher awareness, evocative visuals provide subtle eye candy and restrained suspense unravels slowly to effectively unsettle viewers. Some highlights include a memorable transition of long hair seamlessly becoming a field in the wind, a piano duet that has the intensity of a steamy sex scene and a gruesome killing which shocks not only from the act itself but from a characters disturbing reaction afterwards. Unfortunately though, the movies trailer revealed so much that the potency

of a number of tense scenes is lessened, and several encounters with high school bullies are so clich theyre comical. But the first and last scenes of the film surprise and work magnificently well. All three leads deliver superb performances as they inhabit their characters with both masked emotional faades and biting menace. Wasikowska proved her dramatic heft in Jane Eyre, and here she once again says far more with her expressive face than with words, particularly a fascinated curiosity, and gives Indias character arc a slick sting. Kidman oozes an insincerity for and burning envy of India while emitting a sultry, sexual connection to Goode. An underrated character actor of great skill and powerful persuasion, Goode balances a cool confidence and charisma with a psychologically sinister undercurrent. Stoker is a bit of a disappointment considering how much it gets right, but the integral element of the story underwhelms. If you can accept the fact that the plotting feels too familiar, this work by a visionary director is a rousing exercise in stylistic, sensory command.

Follow @UDK_Entertain on Twitter
egrimm@kansan.com A new group is encouraging University staff to incorporate wellness and fitness into the workday. That group is called Walk Talk Jayhawk. Roughly 35 people attended the groups kickoff walk on March 12. Our motivation is to start with something thats fairly easy to accomplishwalkingand make it more fun by getting groups together to do it, said Claudia Bode, education director for the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis. Importantly, we want staff to know that they dont have to do it alone. Were also hoping to build camaraderie and networking across units. Bode said that the group currently has between 40 and 50 participants at the Lawrence

ELLY GRIMM

campus and between 10 and 20 at the Edwards campus. The group plans to meet every Tuesday at noon until May 7 at various locations on both campuses. The last walk will be on May 14 starting at the Kansas Union

ballroom. One of the participants, Nancy Crisp, events coordinator at the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, looks forward to helping expand the group and mingle with other departments through its run. A few of us already walk to-

gether so I like that we can bring in other people and possibly expand the group, she said. Bode also added that right now the group only has unclassified staff and support staff in its membership, but it will soon be open to everyone, including students. Rhonda Partridge, the business manager at the CEBC, also talked about how walking with the other members of the group influenced her goals. If others are walking, it is an incentive for me to walk also, Partridge said. Walking at lunch helps me not feel guilty about taking time for exercise in the evening. Edited by Madison Schultz

people that we have a waiting list, but we always ensure that people get to play and enjoy themselves. Clinton State Park is a perfect place to go for students who enjoy the outdoors. The park is located only four miles west of Lawrence and has a variety of activities, like a 25-mile hike/bike trail, a five-mile cross country ski trail, a one-mile self-guided nature trail and a copious amount of land to walk or play with your dog. Each of these events can be enjoyed throughout the year. Jeff Zeiler, a ranger at the park, said that students come to Clinton State Park to do a variety of activities. Most students that we see out here go boating or camping, Zelier said. We also see college students out here throughout doing projects, like litter pickups. The Universitys Natural History Museum has several different and interesting events throughout the semester that are free and informa-

Not only is Cosmic Bowling at the Jaybowl free, its also located on campus. This is a plus for students who dont want to travel far or those who dont have a car. The Jaybowl is located on the first floor of the Kansas Union and has free cosmic bowling for students on Thursdays from 8 to 10 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Becky Swearingen, business manager of Jaybowl, said cosmic bowling is a hit with students. On Friday and Saturday nights its very popular, Swearingen said. Most weekends theres so many

tive. These events include films, the Science on Tap and Science on the Spot: Bar Edition events, and Science Saturdays that inform patrons on reptiles, insects and animals. Each of these events is free to the public and takes place at Dyche Hall, located in the museum, and Free State Brewery. Bekkah Lamp, the Natural History Museum educator, said that the museum hosts these events to find new audiences. These events are a fun way to bring science out to people who dont normally think about it, Lamp said. Teresa MacDonald, the director of education at the museum, said that these events also bring attention to natural history museums. We also put on these events to encourage audiences that dont think of natural history museums as places for students, but they are, MacDonald said. Students often associate these museums as places they go when they are children, but we want to show them that theres stuff for them to do as well. Edited by Nikki Wentling

LOVE

Falling in love affects bodies in positive, negative ways

CHelsea Mies
cmies@kansan.com According to a study by Syracuse University, it takes only one-fifth of a second to fall in love. Love feels great, but how does it really affect our bodies? Interestingly enough, love does many different things to several parts of the body. Falling in love can affect everything from our brains to our hands. Some of these effects are positive and others are negative, but what all can this tricky little thing we can love do to us?

When you experience the feelings of love, your body is releasing dopamine, a brain chemical that gives you energy and a sense of optimism. In an article by Salynn Boyles, researchers said that love can relieve pain. Arthur Aron, psychologist at Stony Brook University, helped conduct a study that found that love affects the brain much like drug addiction, because both love and drugs affect the dopamine reward part of the brain. Its like an addiction to a bond to someone, Aron said. Bonding is a good thing.

BRAIN:

Although love has been said to make peoples hearts skip a beat or beat too quickly, it actually does some good things for your heart. It can help lower blood pressure and prevent heart disease. According to a study published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology, people who are in committed relationships are also less likely to have a heart attack. So if you are in love, your heart is probably thanking you.

HEART:

The sensation most commonly equated with love and our stomachs is butterflies, but what really can happen to them is much worse than that fluttery feeling. Love can cause digestion problems and loss of appetite, Davidson said in her article. Fortunately, these problems are less than serious, and those butterflies kind of feel good, too.

STOMAcH:

According to The Effects of Falling in Love, an article by Tamara Davidson, just like nerves, falling in love can cause sweaty, clammy hands. As one of the more mild symptoms of love, you can probably shrug this one off fairly easily.

HANDS:

Carmelia Ray, author and relationship coach, said that love can both positively and negatively affect our emotional health based on the health of the relationship. Emotions related to love release chemicals, like dopamine and endorphins, into the body, which can create a sense of well-being and happiness. It can relieve stress. Love also provides people with a sense of security and purpose. In an unhealthy relationship, the opposite can happen. Stress and fear are common in unhealthy relationships.

QuOTe OF THe day

The UCLA community and fans have been unbelievable to my family and I, and its been an honor and privilege to represent this great institution. I look forward to what comes next. Ben Howland, former UCLA basketball coach

After NCAA tournament loss, UCLA sacks Howland

THE MORNING BREW

FaCT OF THe day

The Bruins have not advanced to the Sweet 16 in ve consecutive years, which is the longest such streak at UCLA since John Wooden retired in 1975.

Trivia OF THe day

Q: Who was the last coach before Howland to take his school to three consecutive Final Fours?

A: Tom Izzo (Michigan State) led his team to the Final Four in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Espn.com

ormer UCLA basketball coach Ben Howland was relieved of his duties on Sunday after his Bruins lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Howlands dismissal from the program wasnt a surprise, and I believe it was justified based on his accomplishments over the past five seasons. Defendants of Howland will point to the three Final Fours that the Bruins reached from 2006-08, but this is a what have you done for me lately society. In the past five seasons since UCLA last reached the Final Four, the Bruins have missed the NCAA Tournament twice and havent advanced beyond the round of 32. At most programs, three Final Fours over a 10-year period is a success. However, most programs arent UCLA. UCLA basketball has a winning tradition unlike any other program in the country. The program has the most national titles, 11, to their credit and has reached 17 Final Fours. Ten of these national titles came under the reign of John Wooden during the 1960s and 70s.

By Chris Schaeder
cschaeder@kansan.com

Their domination of the sport during this time period cannot be understated. Fair or unfair, UCLAs domination under Wooden has placed high expectations over those who have come after him. Jim Harrick is the only coach to lead UCLA to a national title since Woodens departure when the Bruins defeated Arkansas to claim the 1995 national title. Howlands inability to win national titles was only part of the reason he was fired. Off-court troubles around the UCLA program have also surfaced over the past few seasons. Howland showed he could recruit some of the best players in the country to UCLA, but many of these

players found Howland difficult to deal with and eventually left the program. These defectors include Chace Stanback, Drew Gordon, Jmison Morgan, Mike Moser, Reeves Nelson and Matt Carlino. Stanback, Gordon, Moser and Carlino all went on to have successful careers at other schools, which only hurt UCLAs perception even more. Howland cant shoulder all of the blame for these players leaving UCLA, but you must consider his influence on them. The recruits come to UCLA because they want to live in Los Angeles and play for one of the most historic programs in the country. Was Howland that bad that these players wanted to get out of Westwood and play somewhere else? The prospects looked good for UCLA this season, with the No. 1 recruiting class in the country coming to town. The Bruins were expected to make a deep tournament run. Like the past four years, expectations were unmet as UCLA won the Pac-12 regular season title, but were unable to win a game in the NCAA Tournament. The last five seasons dem-

onstrated that the UCLA basketball program is in a rut and the only way to fix things in Westwood was to fire Howland. I have no doubts that Howland will be a successful coach at another school. Hes too good of a coach not to land another prominent job. Edited by Brian Sisk

COMMENTARY

THREE-DEMPtION
Outside shooting leads Kansas to victory over North Carolina
ing 5-14 from beyond the arc. After holding the Tar Heels to 2-17 3-point shooting in last seasons Elite Eight victory, the Jayhawks kept them to 6-21 3-point shooting this time. Without a reliable 3-point game, North Carolina had no answer for Kansas. Withey swatted five shots, four of them near the paint, and altered other Tar Heel attempts. North Carolinas smaller lineup was ill-suited to face Withey in the paint when the 3-pointers werent falling, especially when Kansas deep attempts were. When Withey was guarding his man down low, Relefords perimeter defense, especially on Reggie Bullock, helped keep the Tar Heels from establishing any offensive rhythm. I said, Your man only got five points, only scored one basket on you, Self told Releford. He said No he didnt. He didnt get any on me. That was during a switch or a sub. Although Releford didnt attempt another 3-pointer in the second half, he didnt need to. Senior guard Elijah Johnson drilled a deep shot to tie the game at 35, and sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe converted all three of his second-half 3-point attempts. His minutes are huge, Releford said. He stepped up and made big shots, huge shots for us. Tharpe had two key 3-pointers during Kansas initial second-half run that effectively decided the game in Kansas favor. With a little less than six minutes remaining in the second half and the shot clock winding down, Tharpe feigned a drive and swished a step-back 3-pointer, displaying the confidence Jayhawk fans have grown accustomed as Tharpe established himself as a key rotation player for Kansas this season. I had a good feeling that they were going in, Tharpe said. Edited by Tyler Conover

The University will send a handful of athletes down to Texas this weekend, and its not just the mens basketball team that will compete. The mens and womens track and field teams will compete in their first outdoor meet of the season Wednesday through Saturday at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. After a successful indoor season in which the women finished second at the NCAA Indoor Championships, the team looks to improve on that in the outdoor portion of the season. The expectations could not be much higher for the women. After their recent success, the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named Kansas the No. 1 team in the nation in the outdoor preseason poll. After consecutive runner-up finishes at the NCAA Indoor Championship and a fourth place finish at last years Outdoor Championship, the expectations are justifiably high.

Track Schudule

ansas is playing its best half of the postseason. Jeff Withey is dunking and blocking. Naadir Tharpe is making step-back threes. Travis Releford is making spine-twisting layups. And Ben McLemore is on the bench, cheering them on. This was the scene in the second half Sunday at the Sprint Center, as the Jayhawks beat North Carolina 70-58. The building was mostly full of KU fans, all of them standing and screaming for Kansas and McLemore was one of them. Ben was the biggest cheerleader we had, Bill Self said after the game Sunday. Hes a great teammate. Hes a great teammate and certainly a great player. But he wasnt the latter against the Tar Heels, and he certainly wasnt Friday against Western Kentucky, either. A couple bum games for a freshman from St. Louis? No big deal. However, when stakes are this high, and the Jayhawks could be done after any game, it can potentially become a very big deal. Its not to DEFCON 1 yet, but well see what happens when Kansas plays Michigan at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Could the benching on Sunday affect him? Possibly. Ive talked to a few coaches over the years that say you dont do that with your best player or leading scorer, Self said Sunday. But we were actually better during that stretch. This season, fans have noticed that McLemore fades out of the spotlight when the Jayhawks need to win most. On the road against Oklahoma State and Iowa State, McLemore scored seven points. He averaged an impressive 17.4 points per game in Big 12 play this season. However, on the road in conference play, he averaged 13 points per game. If you include Kansas Big 12 road games and its postseason games, hes averaged 12 points per game. And in postseason play alone, he averages 10.4 points per game. Its possible that McLemores hit a freshman wall, hes in a scoring slump or maybe neither of the above. It may all be a coincidence that the shots havent dropped for Kansas star. Thats unlikely, though. Odds are, its part freshman slump and part pressurerelated. Its understandable, too. These are high expectations for a kid whos 20 years old. Its not the end of times, either hes got an incredibly bright future ahead of him. After that North Carolina game where he scored two points, McLemore said he wasnt bothered at all by his poor shooting. But after the Western Kentucky game, he did fess up to one thing thats awfully telling about this incredibly talented player. The lights was bright out there.

By Mike Vernon

For the first 60 minutes of Kansas NCAA Tournament run this season, 3-pointers were hard to come by. They were impossible to come by, in fact. Against Western Kentucky, four players attempted six total 3-pointers, and they missed all six of those shots. Kansas actually attempted only one 3-pointer in the second half against the Hilltoppers, spending the majority of the evening gathering points near the rim. According to ESPNs stats and information department, Kansas became the first team since Arizona in 2001 to win an NCAA Tournament game without hitting a 3-pointer. The trend continued in the first half against North Carolina in the round of 32. The Jayhawks attempted, and missed, all six of its 3-point attempts in the first half. Winning a second consecutive game without hitting a 3-pointer, especially against a team that shoots a large volume of threes like North Carolina, would be a tall order. But senior Travis Releford converted a 3-pointer before the second half was even two minutes old, and suddenly the floodgates opened. I was wide open, stepped up, took the shot, Releford said. I wasnt thinking, We need the shot, need to make it. I just focused Releford on the time right then. Senior center Jeff Withey said Kansas offense played well enough in the second half that Relefords 3-pointer wasnt necessarily the play of the game, but it definitely helped the Jayhawks further the offensive run they were starting. Kansas shot 5-8 from 3-point range in the second half, finish-

Senior guard Travis Releford attempts to shoot a 3-pointer during the game against West Virginia on March 2 in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks defeated the Mountaineers 91-65. Releford was 0-3 in 3-point attempts.

Kansas opens outdoor season in Texas

COLIN WRIgHt
cwright@kansan.com The men will also have an opportunity to compete on the national scene. They are ranked No. 26 in the USTFCCCA preseason outdoor poll. Of the five athletes who picked up points at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season, four of them return for the Jayhawks. The women are led by senior Andrea Geubelle, who has been picking up hardware left and right. After winning first place in both the long jump and the Geubelle triple jump at the NCAA Indoor Championship, she was named the National Field Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA. Joining Geubelle will be 10 other returners who were ranked in the top 10 in the nation in their events, including juniors Diamond Dixon and Natalia Bartnovskaya. Dixon holds the school record in the 400-meter with a time of 50.88 and Bartnovskaya made a quick impact as a Jayhawk, winning the pole vault at the NCAA Indoor Championships this month with a school record vault of 4.45 meters. Kansas is also going to rely on seniors Heather Bergmann, Paris Daniels and Francine Simpson. Bergmann was runner-up in the javelin at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships last season, Daniels is both the 2012 Big 12 Outdoor Champion and the league Indoor Champion this year, and Simpson looks to defend her title in the long jump, winning the Big 12 Outdoor crown last year with a jump 6.67 meters. The Kansas men are led by senior Kyle Clemons, who competed in the semifinal of the 400-meter at the NCAA Indoor Championships earlier this month. He currently is the school record holder in the 400-meter with a time of 46.44. The men finished 23rd at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2012 and will look to their upperclassmen to make significant contributions to the team throughout the outdoor season.
