KU track needs more lanes and budget boost for national meet
Kansas University faces a slim national meet outlook until adding two to three lanes to the six lane track at Memorial Stadium. The plan includes an all weather surface from Minnesota M and M and higher athletic funding. Coach Easton notes the Relays future and Olympic hopes hinge on improved facilities and support. Two former Jayhawks Cliff Cushman and Bill Dotson train daily aiming for late May and June Olympic trials with Relays this Saturday featuring Cushman, Dotson, Pat McNeal and Cyrol Burleson in the mile.
