Donino & Attiah Guide Emory Women’s Track to 34th-Place Finish at NCAA DIII Championships
Emory University senior Brittany Donino and
sophomore Lauren Attiah each earned all-America
honors at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field
Championships, helping the Eagles to a 34th-place finish
at the meet.
After assuring herself all-America honors yesterday by advancing
through the preliminaries, Donino finished fifth in the finals of
the 55-meter hurdles, recording a personal-best time of 8.30
seconds in the event. The mark was the third-fastest indoor
mark in school history. Donino’s performance earned
four points for the Eagles at the meet.
Attiah claimed a sixth-place finish in the triple jump with a
distance of 11.49 meters, becoming the first Emory athlete to earn
all-America honors in the event at the indoor championships.
The all-America certificate is the first of Attiah’s career,
after participating in the triple jump at both the NCAA indoor and
outdoor championships during her freshman year. Her finish
scored three points for Emory.
The two indoor all-Americans are the seventh and eighth in school
history during the indoor season, and this year marks the first
time the Emory women’s track team has had multiple
all-Americans in a single season since 1995.
With the national championship meet now behind them, the Eagles
will turn their attention to the outdoor track and field
season. Emory’s first meet of the outdoor season will
be the Emory Invitational at the Woodruff P.E. Center on March
19th and 20th.
