June 13, 2016 (New Orleans) - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced today that six San Diego State athletes have been named All-Americans due to their performance at the last stop of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship last week in Eugene, Oregon.
Sophomores Ashley Henderson and Simone Glenn and juniors Micha Auzenne and Starlynn Singleton all earned first-team honors in the 4x100 meter relay. Henderson earned first-team on the 100-meter dash and second-team accolades on the 200-meter dash. Auzenne received honorable mention on the 100-meter hurdles. Junior Rachel Alesi and senior Alexa Evans were named to the second team discus.
Singleton, Glenn, Auzenne and Henderson set a school record in the 100 with a time of 43.55 in the prelims on Thursday. Auzenne's 13.27 time in the 100 hurdles prelims is the sixth fastest time in SDSU history.
