Kansas faces a slim chance at the NCAA outdoor track championship as its weight corps anchors the effort in Seattle. Coach Bob Timmons warns that success must come from events beyond the weights, with Karl Selb nearing final NCAA appearance and the team trailing Pacific Coast and Colorado. The Jayhawks rely on field points and a few running event placements, while Colorado and Pacific Coast collect penalties and records.
