During the NCAA Division II Track & Field Championship Banquet in Turlock, Calif. on May 25, Fort Valley State University’s Antoinette Oglesby was named the NCAA South Region Field Female Athletic of the Year. Oglesby, a senior, is the three-time defending NCAA National Triple Jump Champion.

She competed for an unprecedented three consecutive titles on Friday, May 27, during the triple jump. In addition to the triple jump, Oglesby competed for the crown in the long jump.

“This is really a great honor for me,” said Oglesby. “However, in receiving it, I recognize that were it not for the support of Coach [Ellakisha] O’Kelley, Coach [Antonio] Wells, and the rest of my teammates, I would never have been selected. I am deeply humbled by the selection.”
