The junior standout sprinter was a national champion at last weekend’s NCAA Division II Indoor Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Clark was the individual champion in the 200-meter dash in a winning time of 23.7 seconds, which lowered a school record that she already held. She won the MIAA title in the 200 a couple of weeks ago to qualify for the NCAA meet.
Clark also earned All-American honors in the 60-meter dash as well after setting a new school record of 7.5 seconds in the preliminaries.
