EUGENE, Ore. -- The Cornell track and field teams wrapped up an incredibly successful week at the NCAA Finals on Saturday as two more Cornellians earned All-American honors.

Junior Rachel Sorna ran a gritty race to place fourth in the 3000 steeplechase in 9:52.86. Emma Coburn of Colorado, a 2012 Olympian, set a fast early pace which quickly strung out the pack on a sunny 75 degree day at a packed Hayward Field. Sorna didn't get the position she wanted in the first two laps but maintained her composure and competed hard throughout to earn first team All-America honors. Running mostly by herself, she distanced herself from the bulk of the field by 800 meters and maintained her fourth place position for the final 2000 meters and in the process again broke 10:00 (which is the USATF "A" standard) for the sixth time this season, a truly remarkable accomplishment. Sorna's fourth place finish (at her first outdoor NCAA meet) is the second best individual finish in Cornell women's school history at the outdoor NCAAs; fourth place has been bettered only Stephanie Best '91 (who was third in the 1500 in 1990 and 1991) in Cornell women's track and field history at these outdoor championships.

Also competing extremely well on Saturday was sophomore Rob Robbins, who exceeded pre-meet form-charts to advance to the javelin final.  He ended up ninth overall. His best throw of the day was a clutch one: a 229-11 bomb in his third round, which moved him into position to advance to the nine person final and earned him three more throws. The Cornell school record holder (and Heps and IC4A champion this year), Robbins is now a second team All-American as well.

The Cornell women ended up with seven points and 36th place and the Cornell men had four points for 49th place.  There were four first team All-America honors for Cornell (Katie Kellner in the 10K, Rachel Sorna in the 3K steeple, and Stephen Mozia in the shot put and discus), three second team All-America honors (Rob Robbins and Victoria Imbesi in the men's and women's javelin and Montez Blair in the high jump) and five honorable mention All-Americans (Genna Hartung in the 3K steeple and the 4X100 of Ryan Hynes, Jedidiah Adarquah-Yiadom, Bruno Hortelano-Roig and Kinsley Ojukwu).
