Former KU track star backs Redwine hire as strong choice
Former KU All American and Olympic sprinter Cliff Wiley endorses Stanley Redwine as the new Kansas track coach, saying he beat out about 80 candidates and has the tools to revive KU track. Wiley, on a nine member committee, rejects claims that the hire was about race and praises Redwine’s Tulsa success and Arkansas influence. Wiley notes Redwine’s Kansas recruitment ties and asserts the hire will energize KU track with top athletes.

Webb seeks title at LPGA Rochester with edge from memories
Karrie Webb, defending Rochester champion, says less pressure comes from last year’s memories as she opens the LPGA Rochester International at Locust Hill. Webb, who won six LPGA titles in 1999 and four more this year, aims to hold up the trophy again despite rivals eager to challenge. Cindy McCurdy, runner up last year, posts strong finishes but faced illness earlier in 1999, now back to practice as she plans another late surge. Webb’s winning putt this event last year sealed a one stroke victory over McCurdy.
