Ufodiama Earns Second Team All-America Accolades
March 13, 2026 | Track & Field
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – East Carolina track & field's Kelly Ufodiama earned a pair of Second Team All-America finishes at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Friday afternoon, finishing 12th in the 200m and 15th in the 60m.
Â
Ufodiama, a sophomore from Round Rock, Texas, raced to times of 7.27 seconds in the 60m and 23.07 in the 200m on the day. The All-America efforts were the sprinters fourth and fifth of her career. She took home First Team honors in the 200m in 2025 as well as Second Team recognition in the 60m and outdoor 200m.
Â
With her efforts this weekend, Ufodiama only trails Tynita Butts in her pursuit of becoming the most decorated female athlete in program history. Butts earned six All-America finishes in her Pirate career. Ufodiama is, however, the first sprinter, man or woman, to reach five individual All-America finishes in program history. On the men's side, the great Lee Vernon McNeill was a four-time individual All-America.
Â
Ufodiama holds all ECU records across the short sprints circuit.
