MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – Graduate student Sarah Tait of the West Virginia University track and field team earned her second career First Team All-American honor at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon.

Tait soared to a new personal best time of 9:27.80 in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase, solidifying her spot at No. 2 all-time in program history. Additionally, she ran 10 seconds faster in the event final than she did in the semifinals on Thursday inside of Hayward Field.

The Edinburg, Scotland, native becomes just the second Mountaineer of all time to earn the First Team All-America accolade in the women's steeplechase. With the fourth-place finish, she joins her teammate, graduate student Ceili McCabe.

The time was good enough to best the Scottish national record, which has been held by Ellish McColgan since 2013. Tait smashed McColgan's previous record, 9:35.82, by eight seconds.

With Tait's finish, the Mountaineers complete the 2024-25 track and field season.
