FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas Razorback soon-to-be junior Katie Stripling, a member of the women’s track and field team, will represent Team USA at the 2008 North America, Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-23 Track & Field Championships. The event will be held July 18-20 in Toluca, Mexico.

Stripling, a 2008 NCAA Outdoor All-American, will compete in the pole vault at the event. She recently completed the collegiate portion of the schedule with a bronze finish at the NCAA Championships and a 13th-place finish at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Stripling holds a 2008 outdoor best of 14-2, also Arkansas’ school record in the event.
