March 09, 2007 | Track and Field
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. University of Oklahoma pole vaulter Chip Heuser repeated as an All-American and OU's women's distance medley relay and Big 12 Champion long jumper Portia Nash earned the honors for the first time ever Friday night at the NCAA National Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Heuser finished fourth overall at the Randal Tyson Track Center, clearing 17 feet, 8.75 inches (5.40 meters) to earn his second straight indoor All-America selection and third overall.
Heuser improved on his fifth place finish at last year's NCAA Indoor Championships.
Three vaulters cleared 17-8.75 (5.40) but failed on the next height of 18-0.50 (5.50). Brad Gebauer of McNeese State won the national title on number of attempts. Rory Quiller (SUNY-Binghamton) and Tyson Byers (Washington State) were second and third.
