WSU's Rausch Places at National Meet



Winona State track athlete Alissa Rausch placed seventh in the shot put at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championship Friday, giving the Warriors their second All-American in as many days at the national meet.

Rausch earned her seventh place finish in the shot put with a throw of 47’ 1 ½”. The junior was also an All-American in the event last season. Rausch won the shot put at the NSIC Indoor Championship two weeks ago, giving her a conference title in the event in back-to-back seasons.

Teammate Megan Elliott also gained All-American status at the national meet, placing seventh in the weight throw Thursday.
