South Dakota seniors Danielle Waldner and Emily Grove picked up second-team All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday night at Historic Hayward Field.

Waldner became the first Coyote to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the shot put and earned her first second-team All-America honors with a 14th-place finish. Waldner launched the shot put 54 feet, ½ inches, on her second throw of the competition. She was a foot off making the nine-woman final.

Grove tied for 15th in the pole vault for the second consecutive season to garner second-team All-America honors. She cleared 13-1 ½ with ease before missing all three attempts at 13-7 ¼.

Grove picked up her sixth career All-America award, the most by a Coyote at the NCAA Division I level.
