Results

LINCOLN, Neb. – The Ithaca College women's track & field team competed Saturday at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships at Nebraska. Junior Emilia Scheemaker placed fifth in the triple jump to earn all-America accolades and score Ithaca's four points, while rookie Natalie Meyer competed in the high jump, placing 14th.

Scheemaker sat third with a mark of 11.74 meters entering finals, a distance reached on her second attempt. Her finals' series opened with an 11.46-meter performance, followed by a foul and finished with an 11.68-meter mark. Scheemaker, who competed in the NCAA Championships for the third time in her career, earned her first all-America finish. She holds the indoor school record in the event with a mark of 12.25 meters set on Jan. 25.

Meyer cleared 1.65 meters, the same height as the 8th-place finishers, but had one miss at 1.60 meters and two at 1.65 meters before clearing each height. It was Meyer's national debut.

Ithaca has produced a total of 92 All-Americans since 1986 – 41 indoor and 51 outdoor.

The Bombers will next compete on Saturday, March 29 hosting the Ithaca Invitational to open the outdoor season.
