Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships

.08 of a second and claimed eight team points.
Sharpe, the lone senior in the group, earned his
first All-America honor, as did freshman Thiesen.

with 13 points.

placed fourth (2:16.10), Soph Kristal Grigsby earned
her first All-America honors as she leaped 38-1 1-4

Karolien Bastiaens just mssed a top-eight finish in
the pole vault as she cleared 11-5 1-4 but placed
ninth on misses.

the finals in the 1,500 meters, and Grigsby missed
the finals in the long jump.
