Three University of Alabama track and field student-athletes have earned indoor All-America honors from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Krystle Schade was named a first-team All-American after finishing second in the women’s high jump at last weekend’s NCAA Indoor Championships by clearing 6-0.5. The honor is the junior’s third consecutive first-team All-America honor in the event.

Senior Kaylon Eppinger and sophomore Kamal Fuller were both named second- team All-Americans for their efforts at the NCAA Championships. Eppinger finished ninth in the women’s pentathlon with 4,000 points, while Fuller was 14th in the men’s long jump. The honor is the second of Fuller’s indoor career at Alabama.

The three newly-minted All-Americans will join their teammates later this week when the Crimson Tide begins the outdoor season at the Bulls Invitational, hosted by South Florida, on Friday, March 16.
