The Lincoln track and field athletes who qualified for the NCAA Division II indoor track and field national championships were awarded All-American honors.
The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced Tuesday that 14 Blue Tigers were named All-Americans, including eight from the women's team and six from the men's team.
The championships were scheduled to take place March 13-14 in Birmingham, Ala., but were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
An athlete typically must score at least one point at the national championship meet to achieve All-American status, but the USTFCCCA voted to include all athletes who were invited to compete at the event on the All-American list.
The Lincoln men's team ended the season ranked No. 1 by the USTFCCCA, and had 11 total All-American performances, fifth-most in the nation.

The Blue Tigers combined for 17 selections, with six athletes each receiving multiple All-American awards.
