KU Notebook: Branson clears near miss in pole vault
Scott Russell won the hammer throw and javelin but did not compete in discus due to a strained muscle near his left hip. Branson, a four time All American, set a Kansas Relays record with the 14-1% attempt but failed, embracing coach Attig after the crowd roared and she joked about transplanting fish into the steeplechase pit after Memorial Stadium events.
