NJCU'S LAWSON AND TCNJ'S DISTEFANO
CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

New Jersey City University’s Diana Lawson (Union,NJ/Queen of Peace HS) is officially the fastest woman in the nation.  The freshman sprinter needed a mere 6.98 seconds to shatter the NCAA record and claim the NCAA Division III National Championship in the indoor 55-meter dash, at the Kolf Sports Center on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. The championship is the first NCAA national title---team or individual---in the 72-year history of New Jersey City University. Lawson becomes the first woman in Division III history to run a sub-seven-second dash.

The NJAC claimed a second national champion when The College of New Jersey junior Erica DiStefano (Trenton, NJ/Notre Dame) won the high jump with a school record effort of 5’9 ¼". She becomes TCNJ’s seventh individual national champion in indoor track, and the program’s first since the 1999 season.  DiStefano picked up her second All-America citation in as many days as she took fourth place in the 55 meter hurdles in 8.19 seconds.
