NEW ORLEANS, La. —

Junior high jumper Allie Wildsmith (Bainbridge Island, Wash.) has been named the USTFCCCA Mideast Region Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year. Wildsmith won the indoor variant earlier this year.

The junior won the national championship last week at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships by matching her personal record of 1.80 meters (5'10.75"). Wildsmith's second career clearance of that height solidified her status as the #3 indoor performer in D-III history. She also tied the sixth-best height in D-III history, 1.78m (5'10"), in wins at the NEICAAA Championship and UMass Lowel's George Davis Invitational, while her jump of 1.76m (5'9.25") to win the NEWMAC Championship sits tied for 18th all-time.
