EUGENE, Ore. – Sommer Knight ended her storied East Carolina career on a high note late Thursday night, claiming her second consecutive USTFCCCA First Team All-America honor with an eighth-place finish in the pole vault at the NCAA Outdoor Championships inside historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

Knight cleared a height of 4.30 meters and attempted to match her outdoor school record of 4.35 before falling just short on three attempts.
Â
The senior leaves ECU as the indoor and outdoor school record holder in the event, a three-time American Athletic Conference champion (two outdoor/one indoor), a 2022 NCAA East Region first-place finisher and a two-time USTFCCCA All-America performer.
Â
Knight's appearance marks the third time in the last four seasons that the Pirates have had a representative at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
