SAN ANGELO, Texas --
Rosemary Feikert earned a second All-American status in as many outdoor seasons as the senior from Concord finished seventh in the women's pole vault at the NCAA Division II Track & Field National Championships on Friday.
Feikert cleared 12 feet and 7 1/4 inches on Friday, the same height as two other competitors. The height was nearly her career best, which was a 12-7 1/2.

Katelin Rains of Minnesota State-Mankato is the national champion in the pole vault with a 13 feet-7. Rains also won the indoor track title earlier this spring. Jocelyn Kuksa of Grand Valley State and Katrina Biermann of Truman State also cleared 12-7 1/4. In the women's 800-meter run preliminaries
