Collier Earns All-American in the HeptathlonPublished by
Competing in her first NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championship, freshman Becky Collier captured All-American honors by taking fourth place in the women's heptathlon. This is her third All-American recognition, having captured the same honors in the pentathlon and high jump at the NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships last March.
"I came in with a different mindset from indoor (nationals)," said Collier. "I was really nervous for indoor, really tense. I came here excited and relaxed and ready to go out and have fun. I do the best when I am having fun and maintaining joy. I had a bad hurdle race, but I was able to put that to the side. The high jump gave me a lot of confidence going into the other events. I was able to carry momentum from there."
Yesterday, Collier won the heptathlon high jump, clearing 1.77 meters (5-9.75).
"I knew that if I got nervous or tense I would have messed up, so I tried to stay relaxed," said Collier of the high jump event. "It was helpful that Coach (Josh) Priester was really confident. He said, 'Becky, you look the best you ever have. I know you can make this height.' That helped me be confident and see what I could do."
