Sacramento, Calif. -- Senior Ebonie Floyd and junior Ivan Diggs earned All-American status Friday for their performances at the NCAA Championships in Sacramento, Calif.
Floyd finished second in the 100 meters with a finish of 11.28. She trailed Sherry Fletcher's finish of 11.20. Her second place finish means she is a 2007 NCAA All-American. She will try to win her first NCAA Championship Saturday in the 200 meters.
Diggs earned All-American status at his first outdoor championship after finishing eighth in the high jump competition. Diggs cleared a personal best 2.20m/7-02.50. His clearance ranks as the fifth best jump in school history tied with teammate senior Tristian Whitley and former Cougar Nicker Decker.
Diggs matched his finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in February when he earned All-American status for his eighth place finish in the same event.
Floyd will conclude the weekend running in the 200 meter finals on Saturday at 12:58 p.m. The final day of the meet will air live on CBS from noon to 2 p.m.
