Pointer Track
& Field Claims Five All-Americans
The University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point had three women and two men earn All-American
honors at the NCAA Division III outdoor track and field championships
over the weekend in Decatur, Ill.
The Pointer women finished 21st overall with 11 team points, while the
men's team had 10 points for a 27th place finish. UW-La Crosse
successfully defended its men's title, and UW-Oshkosh won the women's
crown.
Megan Craig posted a third place finish in the 1500-meter run with a
time of 4:34.42 to lead the women's team. Julia Slabosheski was sixth in
the discus at 143 feet, seven inches and Jenna Mitchler was seventh in
the 800-meter run at 2:16.53. An athlete needs a top eight finish to
earn All-American accolades.
Andrew Schliepp led the men with a third place finish in the 110-meter
hurdles with a time of 14.69 seconds. Rosholt native Mark Wierzba was
fifth in the hammer throw at 182 feet, 11 inches.
