HOUSTON Texas –  The opportunity at earning Division II All-American honors for a second straight season came up short for Clayton State's Ahmad Rolle on Saturday.

Competing at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field National Championships, Rolle finished 10th overall in the men's triple jump. He just missed advancing to the championship final in the event by one spot. The top nine qualified for finals with the opportunity at winning the individual national championship in the event and earning All-American honors.

On his three preliminary jumps, Rolle had a distance of 14.10 meters on the first jump, followed by a foul on the second try. On his third and final chance, Rolle jumped 14.46 meters, or 47-05.25 feet. He missed qualifying for the finals by less than a foot.

Rolle and his Clayton State teammates will back in action this weekend (Friday and Saturday) at the Emory Invitational.
