Junior Jumps Into Top 14 On Final Attempt
AUSTIN, Texas – Junior Michelle Fokam finished 14th in the triple jump Saturday at the 2019 NCAA Track & Field Championships held in Austin to earn Second Team All-America honors.
On her third and final attempt of the championships Fokam posted a mark of 13.13-meters (43' 1"). The Katy, Texas, native moved up four spots on the leaderboard to finish 14th overall and earn All-America accolades (awarded to the top 16 NCAA finishers).
