DELAWARE, OHIO - SUNY Cortland graduate student Kristen Serikstad (Oyster Bay) tied for eighth place in the high jump to earn All-America honors during the final day of the NCAA Div. III Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Ohio Wesleyan University.

Serikstad was one of six competitors between fourth and ninth place to clear 1.67 meters (5' 5.75"). She officially tied for eighth due to the number of misses at different heights for those competitors.

Elizabeth Evans of Rose-Hulman won the title at 1.73 meters (5' 8").
