BATON ROUGE, LA - Wake Forest sophomore middle distance runner Nikeya Green earned All-American honors in the 800m Wednesday night at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a time of 2:06.29. Green, who hails from Woodbridge, VA, finished 11th in the preliminaries and failed to qualify for the 800m finals, but was still made All-America criteria as one of the top eight Americans.

Now a three-time All-American and a two-time All-ACC selection, Green broke the school records in both the indoor and outdoor 800m this year.

While the season is over for Wake Forest, a few Demon Deacons will be traveling to Palo Alto, CA, June 21-22 to compete in the U.S. Championships and the U.S. Junior Championships, both being held at Stanford University.
