Juan Scott selected to USTFCCCA Div. II All-America Team
WILBERFORCE, Ohio – Senior Juan Scott has been selected to the USTFCCCA Div. II All-America Team.
Scott recorded two wins and a second place finish in four 60 meter hurdle races throughout the indoor season.
Scott, who won the indoor 60 meter hurdles title in 2018 and finished second in the event in 2019, qualified for March's NCAA Div. II Indoor National Championships in the 60 meter hurdles field with a season-best time of 7.89 seconds. Scott was poised to regain his title prior to the event being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19.
The only CSU athlete to earn indoor All-America honors four times, Scott plans to return to CSU to compete in the 2021 outdoor season due to an extra year of eligibility awarded by the NCAA to all student-athletes who would have exhausted eligibility in 2020.
