GENEVA, Ohio- Illinois College men's track & field star
Will Ross has claimed the national title in the triple jump at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday.
Ross was able to record a mark of 50-2.75 (15.31 meters) on his second attempt to be crowned the NCAA DIII Champion in the event. This mark breaks the previous IC school record set by Ross earlier this season at 49-3.75 (15.03 meters) at the Augustana College Twilight Qualifier.
His first place finish earns him All-America honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Ross has won the triple jump in six of his last seven outdoor meets.
