Spaeth Nabs Elusive All-America Honor

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – St. Norbert College gained its second All-America showing in as many days at the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championship at St. John Fisher University's Polisseni Track and Field Complex.
 
Sydney Spaeth finished eighth in the triple jump to earn her first All-America honor. Spaeth posted a best mark of 39 feet 7 3/4 inches on her third attempt in the preliminaries. That mark earned a spot in the finals with the eighth-best mark, and the nine who advanced to finals did not see any changes in the event standings through the final three rounds of competition. It was Spaeth's first All-America accolade.
 
Spaeth had a mark of 38-11 in her first jump and 39-7 3/4 on her second jump, which she then repeated on her third jump. In the finals, Spaeth scratched on her first two attempts and posted a mark of 39-4 on her final try.
 
Spaeth's All-America honor gives her the Green Knights' second All-American of the weekend, joining Lauren Rottier's sixth-place finish in the heptathlon. It marks the first time since 2010 St. Norbert has had two female All-Americans in the same year.
 
St. Norbert finished with four team points at the championship, placing the Green Knights in a tie for 55th place out of 73 teams which scored at the meet.
