Stanford Men's All-Time Records
Des Moines, Iowa- On the final day of the NCAA Track & Field Championships, won the national title in the triple jump. McLain earned her second All-America honor of the meet to lead the Stanford women to a sixth place finish. The Stanford women finished with 31 points, trailing the national champs from LSU with 67 points.
McLain captured her third career national championship in the triple jump. She has also won the 2007 and 2008 national indoor titles in the same event. On Saturday she captured her first outdoor title with leaps that would have established a new American record, but was wind aided and therefore can not count towards U.S. records. Her mark of 47-11 won the competition by almost two feet. McLain hit her mark on her sixth and final attempt to clearly establish herself as the NCAA Champion, but also a favorite to capture the same event at the upcoming U.S. Olympic Trials.
Stanford's other All-American on the day was in the javelin. Maier finished tenth with a toss of 159-9 to earn her first All-America honor of her career.
In the heptathlon, withdrew from the competition after finishing the first day in 25th place. Jacquelyn Johnson of Arizona State went on to win the competition with 6,053 points.
