NEW ORLEANS – All-Americans for the 2020 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field season were announced on Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Clarissa Morales and Cynthia Mejia each received two All-American awards for 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter events.
Normal policies dictate that All-America honors are awarded based on classifications of performance at the NCAA Championships.
Due to the cancellation of the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships, the Executive Committee adopted the following criteria:
- Based on the posted startlist for the national championships announced by the NCAA, the following will be recognized as All-America for the 2020 indoor track & field season:
- Individual events: ALL student-athletes listed on the startlist for the anticipated event.
- Relay events: The four student-athletes per anticipated relay who produced the performance that was declared and accepted into their event.
- There will not be a distinction of "first-team" or "second-team" to these recognitions.
A total of 716 honors were handed out to 117 different institutions on Tuesday.
Morales had the sixth best time in Division II in the 3000-meter run. She also had the seventh fastest time recorded this season in the 5000-meter race.
Mejia is just a couple of steps behind Morales in both the 3K and 5K. Her best time in the 3000 is 9:40.54, good for 14th in the country. Mejia's 5000-meter time of 16:52.28 is the 12th best in Division II.
