Steele-Slavens said this was the first outdoor meet that her family had seen her run this season.
"I wanted to show them what I
could do," Steele-Slavens said. "I'm very excited with the way I ran. I thought everything was back in tune."
Steele-Slavens won in 1:01.67. She also was a member of both second-place teams in the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay.

with a toss of 137 feet, 3 inches.
The relay team of juniors David Cooksey, Nathen Hill, Pierre Lisk, and freshman Travis Batts won the 4x100 in 41.01 seconds.
Lisk also finished second in the 200-meter dash in 21.58 seconds.
Kansas junior Brian Martin finished second in the 400-meter dash at 47.96 seconds.
Kansas senior Jeff Dieterich threw the javelin 213 feet, 10 inches for a second-place finish.
In the high jump, Kansas freshman Jason Archibald tied for second with a jump of 6 feet. 9-3/4 inches.
The Kansas Columbia Healthcare Relays will begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Memorial Stadium. The
men's decathlon and women's heptathlon will be the first events of the relays.
Admission buttons to the relays are $5 and can be purchased at the Kansas ticket office.
Holloway said she had been telling people to come out to the relays since the beginning of April.
Former Kansas track and field athletes Billy Mills, Jim Ryun, Bill Alley, Cliff Wiley, Wes Santee, Kent Floerke and Mark Lutz, all former members of U.S. Olympic teams, will be honored at 2:15 p.m. Saturday.
She even wrote the date of the relays on the board of her Business 241 class.
"I'm looking forward to the KU Relays," Holloway said."I wish we had some more meets here."
