2018 NAIA Indoor Track & Field All-Americans
NEW ORLEANS – All-America honors for the 2018 NAIA Indoor Track & Field season were announced Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Student-athletes earned All-America status by virtue of finishing among the top-8 in their events – including as a member of a relay – at this past weekend’s NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas.
QUICK LINKS: Men’s All-Americans | Women’s All-Americans
Wayland Baptist (Texas) swept the proceedings inside the Robert W. Plaster Center as it won both team titles over Indiana Tech.
The Pioneer men held off a spirited effort by Indiana Tech all weekend long. WBU might have had two fewer All-Americans than the Warriors (18 to 20), but it valued quality over quality. The Pioneers were led by Tre Hinds and Quintaveon Poole, who each had three All-American efforts.
Cornerstone (Mich.) and Keiser (Fla.) both had double-digit men’s honorees as well.
WBU’s women led their gender with 24 All-America nods. Twelve different women finished among the top-8 in their respective events as Ja’Ianna Williams led the way with four honors in the 600 meters, 4×400, 4×800 and distance medley relay.
Indiana Tech had the second most All-Americans among women’s teams with 18.
Aquinas (Mich.), Friends (Kan.) and Southern-New Orleans (La.) all had 10 or more women honored as well.
