The score broke the BSU school record (5,202), is an NCAA provisional qualifying mark and currently ranks 12th nationally. The senior recorded marks of 19-07 ½ in the long jump, 5 ½ in the high jump, 121-01 in the javelin throw, 39-08 in the shot put and times of 14.08 in the 100 hurdles, 25.79 in the 200 and 2:27.54 in the 800. Her score of 19-07 ½ in the long jump is an NCAA regional qualifying mark, while her time of 14.09 in the hurdles is a personal record.
This is the first time McCoy has received the award in 2006 and she is the first Cardinal to be recognized by the MAC during the outdoor season.
