INDIANAPOLIS, IN – At her first NCAA Indoor Championships, University of Mary women's track and field senior
Alyssa Becker took home second-team All-American honors in the 5000m run.
Becker raced to an 11
th-place finish in her first of two races this weekend, clocking in at 16:40.01. It was a very competitive field in the 5000m run, as even Becker's PR of 16:30.86 would still make her a second-team All-American.
Overall, it is the senior's second All-American honor after she placed 6
th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in the fall. Becker will look to add to her trophy case on Saturday in the 3000m run.
