MARIETTA, Ohio - For the third time in the last 15 months,
Marie Borner (Sr., Cottage Grove, Minn.) is a national champion. Today, she was the fastest runner in the 1500 meter race, breaking her own personal best school record and Marietta College's Don Drumm Stadium record with a time of 4:27.41.
Borner's victory at the 2009 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships comes six months after winning the cross country national championship, and just over a year after winning the mile run at the indoor track and field national meet. Teammate
Heather Jelen (Sr., Sioux Falls, S.D.) finished in sixth place, thus earning NCAA All-American status, with a time of 4:31.35, helping Bethel earn 13 points in the team competition (10 for first place, three for sixth place). Jelen's finish helps her cap off a phenomenal senior year that saw her compete at the cross country, as well as the indoor track and field national meets.
Vanessa Moore (Sr., Grantsburg, Wis.) also competed in the finals of the high jump today. Moore finished in a tie for 12th place with the fourth highest jump, clearing 1.59 meters (5 feet, 2.5 inches). Today marked her second appearance at the national meet for outdoor track and field. She previously earned All-American status in 2007 and 2009 for indoor track and field, as well as 2007 for outdoor track and field, all in the high jump.
