Cheyenne Nesbitt was named the 2024 NCAA Division II Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Field Athlete of the Year. Nesbitt, who hails from Bay City, Michigan, won the heptathlon at the 2024 NCAA DII Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a meet-record score of 6002 points. She also placed seventh in the high jump in Emporia, Kansas. Earlier in the season, Nesbitt won both the high jump and long jump at the GLIAC Outdoor Championships.
Though not germane to this award, since it’s based solely on the 2024 outdoor season, Nesbitt became just the second woman in NCAA history – among all divisions – to win four heptathlon titles.
