Illinois State freshman Derrius Rodgers earned second-team All-America status Friday with a 13th place finish in the 60-meter dash at NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships in College Station, Texas.
Rodgers had a time of 6.77 seconds to narrowly miss making the finals in the event.
“Derrius (Rodgers) competed like a champion,” Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Jeff Bovee said. “He stepped into the blocks like he has been here before. His future is very bright."
