VIRGINIA
Meyer became the first female competitor in the Virginia Track and Field program’s history to win an individual NCAA title when she took first place Saturday in the 800 meters. Meyer used a strong finishing kick to take the lead coming off the final turn and pulled away for the win with a personal best time of 2:00.28 that broke her own UVA school record. That ranks as the ninth fastest for the 800 meters in collegiate history. Clemson’s Barton, who beat Meyer for the 800-meter title at the ACC Championships, placed second in 2:00.65.
Immediately after Meyer’s race, UVA graduate student Andrenette Knight finished third in the 400-meter hurdles to take the bronze medal in that competition. She ran a time of 55.81. It was Knight’s fourth time competing in the event at the NCAA Championships and was the first time she had reached the event finals. Both Meyer and Knight earned first-team All-America honors for their performances
NC STATE
Henes took home the first national title of her career in any event with her win in the 5000m final.
She became the first member of the Wolfpack women's program to win an individual national title in any event since 2002 when Kristin Price won the women's 10000m. The individual championship is the sixth women's outdoor 5000m title in program history. The last member of the Wolfpack to win the national championship in the event was current Wolfpack women's head coach and Henes' mother, Laurie Henes in 1991.
Savannah Shaw raced in the 5000m, marking the first time in her career that she has competed at the NCAA Championships. She posted a 16:02.90 that was good to garner a 16th-place finish and second-team All-America honors.
FLORIDA STATE
The 4×100 meter relay who scored early points for the Noles. Shian Hyde, Jayla Kirkland, Ka’Tia Seymour and Edidiong Odiong moved the baton around the track in a time of 43.06 in one of their most well-executed races of the season. In the 1,500 meters,
Maudie Skyring battled her way to a 12th place finish. Despite having her foot stepped on with a lap to go, forcing her to stop running, she still clocked a time of 4:21.04.
In the last track event of the day, Kirkland contested the 100 meter final. She quickly surged to the front and was looking like top three finish when she tweaked her hamstring with about 20 meters left to go. The Birmingham, Alabama native managed to finish in sixth place in a time of 11.22. Ruta Lasmane capped off her incredible freshman season with a fifth place finish in the triple jump. She leaped 13.91m earning her first-team All-America status. Alonie Sutton placed 13th with a mark of 13.26m in the triple jump as well.
Shanice Love wrapped her Florida State career placing fourth overall, falling just short of a podium finish. The Kingston, Jamaican native earned first-team All-America accolades with a final collegiate throw of 58.50. Freshman Caisa-Marie Lindfors also competed in the discus, placing 18th with a mark of 52.86m.
MIAMI
Atherley and Steele walked away from Hayward Field as first-team All-Americans.
Atherley finished as the runner up in the women’s heptathlon, scoring 6,067 points. Heading into the final day of competition, Atherley held third place after four events. The North Port, Florida, native began the day in the long jump with a mark of 5.98m. In the javelin, she posted a personal best throw of 39.74m, which ranks as the second-best throw in Miami history, bettering her previous No. 4 mark. Atherley finished the day winning the 800m dash with a time of 2:12.13 to close out the competition and earn another USTFCCCA first team All-America honor.
Steele earned two first team All-America honors with two top-10 finishes in both the 100m dash and the 200m dash. The time of 11.11 seconds in the 100m ranks as the second fastest in Miami history and is tied for the fastest time in ACC history to finish fifth. She wrapped up her incredible season with a seventh-place finish in the 200m with a time of 22.77, equaling her personal best.
DUKE
Capping off a historic stretch at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championships, senior Erin Marsh finished fourth in the heptathlon to take home the best finish by a Blue Devil in seven years. As a unit, Duke collected USTFCCCA First Team All-America honors in three events – the heptathlon, 4x400m relay and 100m hurdles, for the most since 2011.
Marsh's fourth place finish was the best individual performance by a Blue Devil since Juliet Bottorff placed third in the 2014 10,000m. Her point total of 5,924 also broke her own school record by 21 points and was the second-best outdoor finish of any multi-event performer, male, or female, in program history, behind only Curtis Beach’s silver medal in the 2011 decathlon. The Blue Devils finished 32nd with nine points, the best finish by the women's team since 2014.
Graduate student Cha'Mia Rothwell was the first to secure First Team All-America on the day, as she finished seventh in the 100m hurdles with a time of 13.14 seconds. Rothwell officially became the highest finisher of any women's hurdler in Duke program history and scored the first two points for the Blue Devils as a team.
The final event of the day was the 4x400m relay and proved to be one of the fastest in collegiate history. While Texas A&M set a collegiate record as the event winners, the Blue Devils turned in a blazing run of their own and took home first-team All-America honors. The quartet of Iman Sule, Elena Brown-Soler, Lauren Hoffman and Brittany Aveni broke their own school record for the third consecutive event, with a scorching run of 3:28.27 to finish seventh. The run broke their NCAA East Regional mark by 0.92 seconds and the team becomes the first Duke 4x400m relay team to be named first-team All-Americans. Aveni was particularly impressive, running the third-fastest split of all competitors, clocking in at 50.13 seconds on the anchor leg.
CLEMSON
The Tigers collected two All-America honors on Saturday during the final day of competition at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Barton capped an illustrious 2021 season on by finishing second overall during the women’s 800-meter final, crossing the line in 2:00.65 with 400m splits of 57.96 and 1:02.70. Barton’s final time is a personal best, makes her tied for No. 15 on the all-time collegiate performers list, and improves her No. 2 all-time mark on the Tigers’ top-10 list for the women’s outdoor 800m. By going sub-2:01, Barton’s time is the fastest mark ever run by a Clemson woman during an NCAA outdoor 800m final. Saturday’s result makes Barton the national runner-up for both the women’s indoor and outdoor 800m during the 2021 season.
Veronica Fraley earned second-team All-American honors in the discus after throwing 56.41 meters (185 feet, 1 inch) with her third-round toss. Fraley, who finished 17th in the shot put competition on Thursday, finished eleventh overall in the discus on Saturday after posting a series of X-54.45m-56.41m in the opening flight. The All-American honor for Fraley in the discus is just the second in program history, as Jamine Moton first earned the recognition during the 2001 NCAA Outdoor Championships by finishing 13th. Fraley and Moton are the only two women in program history to contest the shot put and discus during the same NCAA Outdoor Championships.
GEORGIA TECH
Bria Matthews and Nicole Fegans both earned all-American honors in their respective events.
Matthews garnered first team all-American honors in the women's triple jump after setting a new personal and school record in the event after leaping for a mark of 13.90m/45- .25 to take sixth-place overall. It is the sixth time she has secured the title all-American in her collegiate career. Earlier in the week Matthews collected all-American status in the women's long jump, tying her career best mark in that event. It is the second time in her career she has been named an all-American in both the triple and long jump, having also done so in 2016.
Fegans clocked in at 15:59.72 in the women's 5K final, placing 15th with the second-best time in that event in her career giving her a spot on the second team all-American list. Adding to her 2020 indoor, 2020 XC and 2021 indoor all-American performances Fegans receives the honor for the fourth time in her collegiate career. Saturday's race is the first time since 2002 that a Yellow Jacket female has earned all-American status in the outdoor 5K.
It is the 17th time in program history that the women's team scored at outdoor nationals. In 2019 Tech finished 41st on the team leaderboard, improving eight spots on the national level following Saturday's action.
NOTRE DAME
Wasserman ran the race of her career in the 5,000m, breaking the Notre Dame program record previously held by Olympian Molly Huddle with a time of 15.28.68 to become the NCAA runner-up in the event. The second-place finish is the best for the Irish from the women’s side at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championship, which gives Wasserman first- team All-America honors.
Teammate Maddy Denner also turned in a PR in the 5,000m race, finishing in 15:49.71 to take 11th and earn second-team All-America status.
Olivia Markezich started the track portion of competition for the Irish on Saturday with a top-10 finish in the 3,000m steeplechase. The sophomore placed 10th with a time of 9:48.73 to become a second-team All-American and cap off an impressive season.
Jadin O’Brien also earned second-team All-America honors on Saturday, completing the second and final day of the heptathlon. The freshman placed 11th overall with 5,545 total points over the seven events. O’Brien’s best event finish of the day was fourth in the 800m with a time of 2:14.69. O’Brien ends her rookie campaign with All-America honors in both the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon.
VIRGINIA TECH
Butler, Lauren Bernman, and Essence Henderson all earned All-American nods as the Hokies finished the 2021 NCAA Championships with seven total All-Americans.
Henderson broke own school record on her very first throw of the day, Henderson wasn't satisfied just yet. On her third attempt of the flight, Henderson unleashed a bomb that flew 189' 4" (57.72m), shattering the record she set just two throws prior. Henderson finished the event in seventh after entering the day seeded 31st and claimed first team All-American honors.
Butler delivered a 800m stunning effort in the finals of the event, roaring into a 6th place finish with a time of 2:02.83 to become a first team All-American. With 200m to go, Butler accelerated at breakneck pace to make up the distance between 10th and 6th place in a herculean effort that secured her status as an All-American both indoors and outdoors in the 800m.
Berman took on a monumental 1500m field and finished in 11th place, going 4:16.37 amidst fierce and hardnosed racing. Berman's performance saw her claim second team All-American honors, a testament and deserved conclusion to a dedicated Virginia Tech career.
Bajnok wrapped up her third appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the triple jump with a 12th place finish and a best leap of 43' 9.75" (13.35m). The graduate from Kethely, Hungary took home a second team All-America nod, adding to her first team honor from 2018.
