Kansas head swimming and diving coach Clark Campbell announced that the Jayhawks have signed nine student-athletes to letters of intent for the 2010-11 season. Heather Clark (Lawrence, Kan.), Shelby Cox (Maumelle, Ark.), Malia Johnson (Scottsdale, Ariz.), Alison Moffit (Flower Mound, Texas), Kaila Lee (Eugene, Ore.), Alison Lusk (Chattanooga, Tenn.), Sara Snow (Springfield, Mo.), Morgan Sharp (Houston, Texas) and Kara Stranski (Portland, Ore.) will all compete for the Crimson and Blue during the next competitive season.

From Kansas Head Coach Clark Campbell:

“Morgan comes in with outstanding credentials as well. She’s a middle distance freestyler and will have an immediate impact in an area we need help. Morgan’s experience in Texas will help us in relays as well.  Her club coach, Clayton Cagle, was a former KU assistant coach and we have worked hard to get an athlete from his program to Kansas.”
