VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia – The 2024 indoor track & field season ended at the NCAA Championships this weekend with Ripon College senior Dameco Walker earning All-America honors in two events. The NCAA awards All-America honors to the top-eight finishes in each event of the championships.
 
At the Virginia Beach Sports Center on Friday, Walker finished third in the long jump with a 7.24m mark and followed up with a fourth-place finish marking 14.84m in the triple jump on Saturday.
