FINAL RESULTS

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (csssaints.com) – St. Scholastica junior sprinter Samuel Eben Ebai Jr. (Yaounde, Cameroon/P.S.S. Mankon) finished fourth in the 60m dash final on Saturday at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships at JDL Fast Track to earn All-America accolades.
 
After having to sweat-it-out in the prelims on Friday on whether he made the final spot for Saturday's final, Eben Ebai also had to wait out a false start to begin today's final. After that competitor was disqualified, Eben Ebai was one of seven sprinters vying for the fastest indoor sprinter in NCAA Division III. After a clean start on the second attempt and after everyone crossed the finish line, Eben Ebai would finish fourth with a time of 6.87 (officially 6.861) to earn All-America honors. The fourth-place ties for the second-highest finish at a NCAA Indoor Championship.
 
He is the first men's runner to earn All-America accolades in school history and is the third St. Scholastica men's track & field All-American all-time during the indoor season. Eben Ebai entered the championships tied for the 11^th fastest seed in the 20 sprinter field.
 
Outdoor Season Up Next
Eben Ebai and the rest of the St. Scholastica men's and women's track & field teams will focus their attention to the outdoor season, which begins in two weeks on Saturday, March 26 at the Saint John's University Invitational.
