After pacing the MSU women's track and field team in distance running all season long, junior Jamie Kryzminski capped her season with a fifth-place finish in the 10,000-meter run at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships late Thursday night.

Kryzminski trumped her own school-record in Thursday's race, posting a 32:52.87 time - more than 30 seconds better than her previous best.

The fifth-place finish earned her All-America recognition for the second straight season and improved on her seventh-place finish at the same event one season ago.

She became the first female Spartan track and field athlete to be named an All-American in consecutive seasons.
