MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.--Recent Westminster College graduates Madison Conley (New Castle, Pa., New Castle) and Emma Rudolph (Santa Clarita, Calif., Golden Valley) competed in the pole vault at NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Championships Thursday. Conley was recognized as an All-American with her seventh-place finish.

The championships are being held Thursday-Saturday at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Conley and Rudolph were among the 22 qualifiers in the pole vault. Conley, who entered Thursday's competition as the No. 19 seed, cleared a personal-best 3.81 meters (12-06) on her first attempt at the height. Rudolph, the No. 10 seed, finished in 14th place after clearing 3.71 meters (12-02).
