BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Two Tar Heels earned All-America honors Friday on Day 1 at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Birmingham CrossPlex.

Anna Keefer placed eighth in the women's long jump to earn first-team All-America honors. Her jump of 21-0.5 (6.41m) moved her up two spots from her 10^th-place finish at Indoor Championships in 2021.

Keefer also ran the 200m, finishing in 23.45 to place 12^th and earn second-team All-America honors in that event.

Jill Shippee took 11^th in the women's weight throw to earn second-team All-America honors. In her first appearance at NCAA Indoors, she registered a throw of 71-1.25 (21.67m).

Still to compete for the Tar Heels is Daniel McArthur, who will be in action Saturday at 5 PM ET/4 PM CT in the men's shot put, an event in which he has won All-America honors in each of the past three seasons.
