LA CROSSE, Wis. – Senior thrower Ella Stritesky (Rogers, Minn./Rogers HS) represented the St. Scholastica women's track and field team this weekend at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Veterans Memorial Field in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Competing in the hammer throw, Stritesky finished 11th nationally with a mark of 52.87 meters, narrowly missing a spot in the finals and All-American honors.

The finish matched Stritesky's placement from the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships, where she also placed 11th nationally with a throw of 51.50 meters, once again finishing just shy of All-American status.

The appearance marked the conclusion of Stritesky's collegiate career, as the senior qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the second consecutive season and established herself as one of the top throwers in program history.
