Jayhawks fly past competition at meet

A trip to Terre Haute, Ind., proved to be worth the time for the Kansas cross country teams.
The Jayhawks took part in the NCAA Pre-Nationals hosted by Indiana State University.
The men finished before six other top 25 ranked schools. They were ranked 28th going into the meet and defeated No. 11 Cal Poly, No. 17 Florida State, No. 18 Ohio State, No. 21 Indiana, No. 22 Dartmouth and No. 23 North Carolina State.
"I thought it was a good performance," coach Stanley Redwine said. "It was definitely a total team effort, and we're pretty excited. Even though the race was deeper this year, we still finished fourth which was an improvement on our 22nd-place finish last year."
The Jayhawks were led by junior Benson Chesang. He finished the race fourth overall with a time of 24:05 in the 8K race.
Sophomore Paul Hefferon was second for the Jayhawks, followed by sophomore Colby Wissel.
There were a total of 53 teams in the men's race.
The only three teams to finish ahead of Kansas were Stanford, Brigham Young and Georgetown.
The women's team also finished fourth in its 6K race.
Its field consisted of 13 teams. Michigan, Southern Illinois, and Minnesota were the three teams to finish ahead of Kansas.
"I thought the women's team
had a great showing today as well," Redwine said. "It's hard to compare times to courses, but in this case I think it's applicable because we ran much better here today than we did last year. I thought it was a really good effort."
Sophomore Lisa Morrisey, finishing 11th overall, led the Jayhawks to a fourth place finish with a time of 22:26.
"I think that we definitely had a better day this year than we did last year," Morrisie said. "We worked so hard and it just kind of showed that we are at the level we are working at, now we just need to get it together for conference."
This was the last race before the Big 12 Championship in Waco, Texas, on Oct. 28.

Holmes plays 'keep away with visiting Redskins
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Maybe age isn't catching up with Priest Holmes as quickly as everyone thought. When it mattered most, the Washington Redskins couldn't catch him at all.
Nine days after his 32nd birthday, Holmes ran for a touchdown and caught five passes for 100 yards, including a winding, waving 60-yard catch-and-run as Kansas City beat the Redskins 28-21 Sunday.
Santana Moss caught 10 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns for the Redskins (3-2), who lost their second in a row after a 3-0 start.
The Chiefs (3-2) had a career-game from defensive end Jared Allen, who sacked Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell three times and recovered both fumbles he forced.
with the Redskins holding a 7-6 lead, the game exploded into a parade of long scoring plays.
Moss had a 78-yard catch-and-run for Washington, Knight responded with an 80-yard fumble return and Holmes turned a short pass into a touchdown play for a 28-21 Chiefs lead early in the fourth quarter.
After a dull first half ended
The Chiefs took a 14-7 lead on their first possession of the second half on Holmes' 6-yard touchdown run after he'd gone 21 yards on a short pass and officials tacked on another 14 yards for roughing the passer.
The score tied at 21-21, the Chiefs had a first down on their own 40 when Green tossed the ball back to Holmes in the flat. He started left and then cut back against the grain.
tony Gonzalez threw the last block to spring him and he tiptoed into the corner of the end zone.

"I wanted to see what Stephen Vinson and Christian Moody were going to do because they're goofy guys," Mathews said.
Vinson, in his fourth Late Night, said he thought the changes came because "there were some disappointing performances in the past, and we wanted to weed out the bad." Though even he admitted the new format was left a different feel.
And it wasn't just strange for the players. It was strange for the fans as well. No longer can fans sit in expectation of the digital clock on the north wall of the fieldhouse rolling to "12:00". Instead, fans wait for television to cut out. Or for the Marching Cobras to finish.
Late Night started 21 years ago as a way for fans to build excitement for the season. While the practice continues and the players are showcased, some of the build up and history associated with the night has been lost.
