KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kimmy Moore of Eastern Oregon has been named the NAIA National Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of The Week and Stacy Warrior of Oklahoma Baptist has been honored as the NAIA National Women's Track Athlete of The Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Moore and Warrior were selected based on their performances from April 2 - 8.

Moore, a senior from Noxen, Mont., cruised to the heptathlon victory at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Multi-Championships from April 5 - 6. She tallied 4,481 points, well ahead of the second-place finisher, NyEma Sims of Concordia (Ore.), who had 3,727 points. Moore's point total is the second-most ever at the conference meet, and is third best on the Eastern Oregon all-time list. That effort also easily broke her 2010 personal record of 4,259 points. She currently holds the top mark in the NAIA this year.

Warrior, a sophomore from Wewoka, Okla., turned in the NAIA's best time this year in the 400-meters with a 53.93 clocking at the NCAA Division I North Texas Spring Classic on April 7. She finished ahead of a field that included six NCAA Division I competitors. She also ran the first leg of the 4x100, which had the second-best time in the NAIA this season (45.86). She also took eighth among 30 runners in the 200-meters (24.96). Overall, she had national qualifying marks in all three events.
