For some reason the women's high jump final results (also held today) were not posted (Tollefson) on the site.

Tollefson was not able to clear the first height of 1.72m and didn't record a height.

Heather is 100 points ahead of her PR and Whitney is not far behind. The long jump will decide whether Whitney can beat Heather, since it might be the only even left that Whitney can beat Heather. More importantly, can either of them sneak into the top 8 for All American honors? I did not check closely to see if they have any foreign athletes in from of them that will be excluded for All-American honors but I am sure that there are some from other countries.

BTW- 21 feet in the long jump is worth 975 points.

Amazing performance by Heather! And only 3 points away from earning a point for the Bison. What a great career she has had!

WT&F: Carlson Joins Zander as USTFCCCA All-America Selection

EUGENE, Ore. – North Dakota State junior Whitney Carlson earned United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-America honors after finishing 11th in the long jump at the NCAA Championships with a mark of 20 feet 3 ¾ inches.

In 2009, Laura Hermanson became the first NDSU athlete to be named a Division I All-American after a runner-up finish in the 800 meters.


The top eight (individuals and relays) in each event earned USTFCCCA All-America status. Plus, the top eight finishers in individual events that are American citizens also earned USTFCCCA All-America status.
