Emory University seniors Alex Greenhouse and Brittany Donino
capped off their collegiate careers with all-America performances
during the final day of competition at the NCAA Division III
Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Greenhouse finished third in the 400-meter hurdles, earning his
second-career all-America honor in the event. The
senior’s time of 52.22 seconds was the second-fastest in
school history, only trailing his own program-record mark of 52.15
seconds set during the 2008 NCAA Championships. Greenhouse
finishes his Emory career with three outdoor all-America honors,
and four total all-America certificates, including the indoor
season.
Greenhouse scored six points for the Eagles with the third place
finish, helping the team to a 45th-place finish
overall. His two all-America finishes in the 400-meter
hurdles remain the only two in the event in school history.
After qualifying for the finals of the women’s 100-meter
hurdles and earning all-America honors in dramatic fashion on
Friday, Donino finished eighth in the event with a time of 14.80
seconds on Saturday. It was the second all-America honor of
the senior’s career, with the other coming in the 55-meter
hurdles during the 2010 indoor season.
Donino became the second Eagle to earn all-America honors in the
100-meter hurdles, joining former Eagle Kahlilah Jennings, who
earned the honor in 1997. Her performance earned one point
for Emory at the meet, helping the team finish tied for
66th place overall.
In the women’s triple jump, Emory sophomore Lauren Attiah
finished sixth in her heat and tied for 11th overall
with a distance of 11.39 meters.
With competition at the NCAA Division III Championships coming to a
close, the Eagles have concluded their 2010 season.
