NORMAN, Okla. — A few moments before Kansas’ actual walk-off winner against Michigan on Friday came a bit of a misfire. When senior right fielder Aynslee Linduff sent a ball down the line in left field with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the eighth inning, the KU dugout was on the verge of celebrating its apparent victory.

The Kansas softball team earned a regional bid and a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament on the strength of some significant late-season victories. Now the Jayhawks’ focus will turn to actually advancing out of their regional — something the program has done just once, when it hosted in 1992 — a task that will presumably require at some point along the way defeating Oklahoma, a perennial power that is 18-0 ...
Darryn Peterson’s lone season at Kansas already feels like it was “so long ago,” the guard told reporters on Wednesday.

KU, which had entered as the No. 7 seed in the regional, was looking for a second straight appearance in the NCAA National Championship in Carlsbad, California, which would have been the fifth overall in program history.

The month of April passed this year without the running of the Kansas Relays. That doesn’t happen often. The meet began in 1923 and paused only briefly for World War II, renovations and the COVID-19 pandemic. But KU decided not to put on the event this spring in order to reduce expenses, as the Journal-World reported in September, amid the advent of student-athlete revenue sharing and other significant ...
