EMPORIA, Kan. – Both Andrew Szeplaki (Bath, Pa./Northampton) and Kevin Givone (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth) concluded their 2026 campaigns by earning honorable mention All-America Saturday afternoon at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Welch Stadium in Emporia, Kan.
 
Szeplaki placed 17th overall in the pole vault with a best clearance of 5.01m (16-5.25). It was the second height he cleared, having first gotten past 4.86 (11-.25) on the second try. He cleared 5.01m on his third and final attempt, but could not get through the next height, 5.16m (16-11). Givone finished 19th in the javelin with a furthest throw of 57.74m (189-5) on his first attempt. The next two throws did not pass that height. Competitors one-through-eighth received First Team AA, while nine-through-16 were Second Team.
 
It was the second NCAA Outdoor Championships appearance for Givone, also competing in 2024, and the first for Szeplaki.
 
Entering NCAAs, Givone was the No. 21 seed in the javelin with a mark of 66.37m, which he threw in the opening meet, the Keystone Challenge at Shippensburg University on March 21. Szeplaki was the No. 11 seed in the pole vault with a highest clearance of 5.27m, which he achieved at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, back on April 23.
