Emory Women Finish NCAAs with Four All-America Honors

Emory Women Finish NCAAs with Four All-America Honors

Members of the Emory University Women's Track and Field Team combined for All-America honors in three individual events and a relay on Saturday, as the Eagles wrapped-up their 2014 outdoor campaign at the 2014 NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships, hosted by Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio.

The Eagles combined for seven points at the meet to finish in a two-way tie for 39th place out of 81 teams competing at the meet.

Emory's top finisher on the day was its 4x100-meter relay team of freshman Harley Barrera, junior Electra Korn, senior Morgan Monroe and junior Debora Adjibaba, which finished in sixth-place with a time of 47.26 seconds.  It is the third time in program history that the Eagles have earned an All-America honor in the 4x100-meter relay, along with teams in 2009 and 2012.  The performance contributed three points towards Emory's team total.

Adjibaba added a seventh-place finish in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.20 in Saturday's finals to claim her first career outdoor individual All-America honor and add two more points to the team total.  She is the first Emory all-American in the event since Jane Ukandu in 2006, and the third overall including Regina Robinson in 1994.

Monroe became the third Eagle to earn All-America honors in the 100-meter hurdles, placing eighth finals of the event with a time of 14.94 seconds, and contributing another point towards the team score.

Korn wrapped up Emory's list of All-Americans with an eighth-place finish in the 400-meter dash, capping off Emory's team score with an additional point.  She ran a time of 56.32 seconds during Saturday's final, and became the second Eagle to earn all-America honors in the event, joining former Eagle Kaele Leonard (2013).

Senior Meredith Lorch fell just short of an All-America finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, despite running a career-best time of 10:52.76 in the finals of the event on Saturday.

The NCAA Championships marked the final meet of the 2014 campaign for the Eagles.
