ALLENDALE, Mich. – On the final day of the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Western State Colorado University high jumper
Bennie Kirkwood (Sr., Ventura, Calif.) came away with his second First Team All-American accolade of the 2014-15 season.
Â
Kirkwood remained perfect through the first three heights, sitting in a tie for first place with two other competitors after 2.10 meters (6-10.75). With the bar at 2.13 meters (6-11.75), Kirkwood was unable to move on any further as he missed all three attempts to bow out of the competition.
Â
However, his performance was good enough to tie for seventh place and earn his second-straight First Team All-American honor after his fifth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March. Kirkwood's breakout season also included two Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) titles.

Noah Zorsky (So., Amarillo, Texas) finished in a tie for 16th in the men's pole vault, clearing 4.80 meters (15-09). Zorsky wrapped up his first season with the Mountaineers as an All-American during the indoor season. He also claimed the RMAC Outdoor title earlier this month and broke the indoor and outdoor school records.
