Dalton, Collier Claim All-American HonorsPublished by
Three athletes from the Westmont Women's Track and Field time finished in the top 10 in the pentathlon at the NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Alexus Dalton posted a school record mark of 3,729 points to finish as the national runner-up.
"Alexus had a fabulous meet. She fouled twice in the shot put and she had to take a safety in it," said Westmont head coach Russell Smelley. "Her second put was actually good. She put her foot on the inside of the toe board and pushed off of it to save the throw and the referee called it a foul.
"Alexus ran valiantly in the 800 meter to hold her spot, making a personal best time," offered Smelley.
Becky Collier earned her fifth All-American honor with a sixth place. Collier tallied 3.449 points.
Kristan Holding just missed All-American honors with a ninth place finish. With 3,293 points, she finished just 10 points out of eighth place.
"Kristan was only five points off her personal best in the pentathlon," said Smelley.
