Rochester, N.Y. – Stockton University junior Kayla Kass (Bayonne/Bayonne) became an All-American for the third time in her career by finishing sixth in the final of the 800-meter run at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships. Kass qualified as a USTFCCCA First Team All-American by finishing in the top eight.
 
Kass broke her own school record with a time of 2:10.71. The junior sat in sixth place through the first 400 meters but dropped to eighth at the 600-meter mark. Kass then moved back into sixth by running the last 200 meters in 34.44 seconds, which was the third fastest final lap out of eight runners in the race.
 
The sixth-place finish tied the best ever by a Stockton female in a track event at the NCAA Championships. Alicia Belko (3000m steeplechase) and Cassandra Hrusko (1500m) each finished sixth in their event at the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
 
Kass qualified for All-American status for the third time in her career (2024-25 indoor 800m, 2024 outdoor 800m), becoming the fourth Osprey female ever to earn at least three All-American honors in track & field (Kim Marino, Lisa Shepherd, Chelsea Vaughan) and first to do so in running events.
