Rebecca Andrew and seniors Donna Christensen and Jennifer Peltier qualified for the championships.

At last year's championships, the women finished 25th. Christensen, Peltier and Rhonda Lusty earned individual All-American honors.
All of the women selected this year will be competing in more than one event.
teams that earned All-American status.
The championships will cap off a year that saw the Jayhawks finish with a 13-1 record and a second place finish in the Big Eight championship last month.
Christensen said she was excited at the opportunity to earn All-American status for the second straight year.
The men's selections will be announced Thursday. They will compete March 28-30 in Austin, Texas.
The swimming team has been practicing,but Christensen said now it would be more fun.
"This means a lot to rite," she said. "I hope I can at least do what I did last year, but hopefully better."
"The environment will be a tougher," she said. "We're going to practice with a real purpose."
"We should be able to do well. I think Coach (Kemp) is going to make sure that we're ready."
It won't be just fun in the sun for women's tennis

Sunshine and warm breezes can be nice. But they can be a problem on the tennis court.
The No. 22 Kansas women's tennis team will play its first outdoor home match of the season tomorrow.
Kansas women's tennis coach Chuck Merzbacher said playing outdoors required some adjustment.
"It's a lot different when you hit a clean ball indoors and when you hit one outdoors," Merzbacher said. "The air and friction really slow the ball up."
When the Jayhawks play No. 32 Texas A&M at 1 p.m. tomorrow at the Allen Field House tennis courts, it will be their second outdoor match of the season.
"It's an adjustment." Kansas sophomore Christie Sim said. "It takes a little getting used to."
Two weeks ago, Kansas played outdoors for the first time in Alabama and lost two close matches to No.23 Alabama and No. 24 Auburn.
"That is what got us in Alabama," Merzbacher said. "We just were not used to playing outdoors."
The key to making the transition from indoors to outdoors is practice, players said. To make sure they play well tomorrow, the players have
spent the week practicing outdoors.
"I feel good about us playing outdoors," Merzbacher said. "I think we should be able to compete."
Last weekend, the Jayhawks won twice, increasing their record to 5-4. Merzbacher said he thought the team would need to beat Texas A&M to earn its national ranking.
In the event of bad weather, the two teams will play at Woodvalley Racquet Club in Topeka.
