SPORTS: Sequim’s Marcy captures sixth at nationals, earns All-America honors

DES MOINES, Iowa — Stephanie Marcy is an All-American once again.

The Stanford senior placed sixth in the women’s 10,000-meter race at the NCAA Division I Outdoors Track and Field Championships on Wednesday to earn All-America honors for the second straight year.

The Sequim High School graduate crossed the finish line in 34 minutes, 35.18 seconds, to capture sixth.

She finished a little less than 10 seconds behind national champion Juliet Bottorff of Duke.

Marcy earned the first All-America honor of her career as a junior when she placed eighth in the 10,000 at last year’s event.

She’ll get one more crack at a national championship when she competes in the 5,000 on Friday.

Marcy won a pair of state championships for the Wolves her senior year, claiming the Class 3A girls cross country title and the 3A 1,600-meter crown.
