CANTON, N.Y. — Bowdoin triple jumper Katharine Krupp finished 20th in her first appearance at the Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship last weekend at St. Lawrence University.
Krupp qualified with a jump of 38-1 in May when she won the New England III championship. Katie finished 20th in the NCAA championship with a jump of 36-5, missing out on qualifying for the finals.
“Katie showed a lot of fire going for it on her first jump,” said Coach Peter Slovenski. “It was a close foul, but it had the kind of distance that Katie was looking for to make finals. She’s a great competitor, and got a lot of valuable experience at the championship.”
Krupp is a captain-elect of the women’s track team for the 2015-16 season.
