INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD: WWU's Brown, Porter, Welling named All-American

Three Western Washington University athletes - pole vaulter Ryan Brown, and distance runners Sarah Porter and Jordan Welling - have been named United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Americans.

It's Porter's third such indoor honor, Brown's second and the first for Welling. The awards were based on their performances at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday, March 12, where Brown successfully defended his national championship in the men's pole vault, Porter placed third in the women's 5,000 meters and Welling seventh in the men's 5,000.
