One year after earning second-team All-America accolades, Jermaine Griffith did it one better.
The Rutgers senior earned first-team All-America honors Saturday at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in College Station, Tex., thanks to a seventh-place performance in the 400-meter final.
A Hamilton, Mercer County, native, Griffith stopped the watch at 47.10 seconds in the NCAA championship event. He earned a spot in the eight-man field Friday night with a time of 46.49 in the 400M preliminary race.
Congratulations Jermaine Griffith, who earned First Team All-America status in the 400m at the #NCAATF Indoor Championships!
