Academy of Art University Athletics

By the end of the Stanford Invitational, Academy of Art track & field's Marie-Jeanne Ourega had put herself top four in NCAA Division II in three different events.

On Mar. 31, Ourega began in the 100m hurdles where she delivered a time of 13.91 in the prelims to debut as a provisional qualifier for Outdoor Nationals in the event. She remained in sixth with a 13.92 in the final, but put herself fourth in the country with the prelims mark. The Communications & Media Technologies major then furthered her lead as the nation’s long jump leader with a 20-8 (6.30m) ahead of the country's next closest competitor by more than two inches. Ourega then wrapped up the weekend in the triple jump on Apr. 1 by ascending four spots to second in NCAA DII with a 42-0.5 (12.81m) mark.
