The Kansas track and field team walked away with six first-place finishes at the K-State meet Saturday, its last meet of the regular indoor season.
The competition served as a warm-up for the last Big Eight Indoor Championship this Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
The meet allowed some athletes to rest while giving athletes not traveling to the indoor championship another chance to compete. It also provided a competitive atmosphere for field athletes to hone their event skills.
"it's a tune for the Big Eight",
said Gary Schwartz, Kansas track
and field coach. "It's very important for field events athletes to compete every week because there is a certain rhythm and timing."
The Jayhawks competed against the Wildcats, as well as some unattached competitors.

had their share of success. Kansas senior Debbie Jacobs won the triple jump with a leap of 37110." Kansas sophomore Micheal'a Edwards won the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.48 seconds.
Kansas freshman Heidi Lundervold followed both Jacobs and Edwards, finishing second in both the triple jump and the 55-meter hurdles.
Now team members are focusing on the indoor championship.
Senior Kristi Kloster, who holds Kansas records in five events, missed last year's championship because she had to have surgery on her calves.
She said that she was more excited than nervous about returning to action. Kloster plans to run in the 800-meter and distance medley races.
Schwartz said he thought the Jayhawks would be ready for the championship.
"These last few days are all about getting your mind and body tuned up," Schwartz said.

Wife testifies on Warren Moon's behalf
Spouse blames herself for husband's violence
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Texas — Felicia Moon said yesterday that her football player husband, Warren Moon, hasn't hit her since an incident a decade ago that prompted her to file a short-lived divorce petition.
Felicia Moon, in the second day on testimony at her husband's spouse abuse trial, again blamed herself for circumstances that eventually led to misdemeanor assault charges filed last summer against the Minnesota Vikings quarterback.
Under questioning by Rusty Hardin, Warren Moon's attorney, Felicia Moon bristled at reports characterizing the couple's July 18 dispute as wife beating.
Warren Moon could face up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine if convicted of the charge.
"It's ridiculous to refer to it as that," she said, talking about the fight that left her bruised and scratched.
Felicia Moon said the couple's marriage was floundering at the time of the incident, triggered by Warren Moon's insistence that she surrender credit cards, and the fact
that he had not been living at their Missouri City home.
Penicia Moon chronicied now she met Warren Moon while in high school in Los Angeles, his football playing at the University of Washington, their move to Edmonton.

The Houston deal made Warren Moon the highest-paid player in the National Football League and made the couple instantly wealthy.
"My free time would be basically days at the mall.
"It would be $5,000 here, $2,500 there. We had so much money in the bank I didn't think it would be that big of a deal."
When Warren Moon audited their accounts and found the expendi-
Felicia Moon said their marriage then began to sour because she chose to raise their three young children in their new Houston-area home while her husband was gone all the time.
"I spent a lot of money," she said.

tures, he wanted her credit cards. Their financial disputes led to three instances of violence, including one in which she said she attacked him with a mop and they wound up on the floor, punching and fighting.

said the fighting stopped when both her and her husband noticed that two of their children were watching them fight.

"They were looking at us in shock," she said.
"They couldn't believe mommy and daddy had done that."
Her divorce petition filed soon after that was dismissed in 1987 and Moon never was served with the
suit.
"In my heart of hearts, I didn't want a divorce," she said.
Felicia Moon insisted that all the violence was started by her, often by tossing something at her husband.
"I once shattered a glass cabinet," she said. It would be the result of something I had done to get his attention.
"He's just not the kind of person to get excited about something. It aggravates me."
Felicia Moon testified Friday that her husband is taking the blame for last summer's fight in order to prevent her dark secrets from being spilled into public.
Although she admitted Warren Moon grabbed and choked her during a bedroom fight over credit cards and money, she has insisted that he never meant to hurt her.
She suggested that her acrylic fingermails may have been responsible for scratches around her neck and shoulder area.
Felicia Moon has pleaded with prosecutors to drop the assault charges against her husband.
Police went to the Moons' home in Missouri City, a suburb southwest of Houston, after their 7-year-old son, Jeffrey, told a 911 operator his father was going to beat his mother.

This kind of prayer, which has its origin in the Bible, affirms what is true about God and man and denies what is false.
It brings healing to any situation.
