BRADENTON, Fla. (May 28) -- Central Washington University senior Tayler Fettig finished second in the high jump at the NCAA Division II Track and Field National Championships to capture her second all-American honors in outdoor competition.
 
"I felt great going in and injury free for the first time in awhile," Fettig said.  The first jumps felt amazing; it felt like I was flying.  The bar got close to my PR and I still felt great, but it just wasn't there for me."
 
Fettig was one of just three athletes to clear 1.73 meters on their first attempt, helping her finish tied for second, which is the same place she entered the championship.
 
In fact, Fettig had clean jumps in her first four attempts before missing 1.76 meters.  Only national champion Emilee Iverson cleared 1.76 on the day.
 
In total, Fettig ends her career as a three-time all-American, earning one in the indoor national championships as a junior.
 
"It is a true blessing [to be a three time all-American], this year showed all the hard word and dedication I have put in," Fettig said.  "I have been training and praying everything would go well and I was able to stay consistent throughout the year.  I am thankful to have a great support group from my family, friends and teammates, but all the glory goes to God.
