Senior Jeff Zodda received his sixth career All-American citation after placing first in the 800-meter run at the 2006 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in Minneapolis, MN.
In the process of picking up the individual championship, Zodda set a course record at the Tostrud Center with a time of 1:52.53 in the finals of the NCAA Tournament and helped lead his team to 13th place overall at the Division III Championships.
"It's impossible to put into words ... It feels really good, simply amazing," Zodda said. "It's been a long time coming ... I knew I'd have to run really fast to get past the teams here. You always have to work for it. I just did my best."
Zodda's success did not stop there. In the spring outdoor track and field season, Zodda was the runner-up in the NCAA Division III Finals in the 800-meter run. The sprinter opened the finals by breaking a stadium record with a time of 1:50.69. Zodda also broke several school records, including the College's record in the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:04.36.
