RIPON, Wisconsin – Dameco Walker, Jacoby Cefalu and Bridget Finn of the Ripon track and field programs have been selected to compete at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Geneva, Ohio, next weekend (May 22-24) at SPIRE Institute.

The five event qualifications tie a school record for most in a single outdoor championship.
 
For the fourth consecutive outdoor season, Walker will wrap up his campaign on the nation's biggest stage. The senior will compete at the outdoor national championships in both the long jump and the triple jump for the third consecutive season. In 2023, Walker was an All-American in the long jump, taking fourth. 2025 marks his sixth and seventh events at the outdoor national championships. His long jump of 7.47m at the Midwest Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships last week is the fifth-best long jump so far this season in all of Division III, and he ranks 12th nationally in the triple jump (14.80m).
 
Cefalu will compete outdoors at NCAAs for the first time in his career. His school record-breaking 10.44 time in the 100-meter dash on April 12 sits him 15th across all of Division III. The senior will wrap up his career as a Red Hawk on the nation's biggest stage for the third time (2025 indoors, 2024 indoors) and is looking to improve upon his second team All-American performance two months ago.
 
Finn is having a record spring in her final campaign as a Red Hawk. Competing next week in the heptathlon and high jump, the graduate student has the fifth-best heptathlon score in the country (4,945 points) and the seventh-best high jump mark (1.70m). Finn joins Callista DeCramer (2019, 2021) as the only Red Hawks in program history – male or female – to advance to the NCAA Championships in the heptathlon or decathlon. Her and Jenna Breaker are the only females in program history to qualify in the high jump.
 
Walker will compete in the long jump on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. CT and the triple jump on Saturday at 10 a.m. CT. Finn's high jump competition is slated for Friday at 10:30 a.m. CT, while her heptathlon events will take place on Thursday and Friday. Cefalu's 100 prelim race is Friday at 2:30 p.m. CT, while the finals are Saturday at 1:30 p.m. CT. Times are subject to change.
