BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – On Friday, the Southeastern Conference announced that senior high jumper Jeannelle Scheper along with the women’s 4×400-meter relay earned Second-Team All-SEC honors for their performances at last week’s 2014 SEC Indoor Championships.
Scheper cleared a meet-record and NCAA-leading height of 6’2″ ¾ (1.90m), but came home with the SEC indoor silver due to misses. The Gamecock has set or matched a meet or facility record in all five of her meets this season and her only defeat was at last week’s conference event. Scheper became the first-ever Gamecock to earn All-SEC recognition for the high jump last season.
The women’s 4×4 quartet of freshmen Precious Holmes, Briana Haith, Marisa Bellamy and junior Tamera Harris also captured a silver medal at the 2014 SEC Indoor Championships. As she has done all season, Holmes gave the Gamecocks a cushion on the first leg with a 53.26 split and the quartet ran away from the field in their heat with their time of 3:35.02. This is the second-straight All-SEC honor for the South Carolina women’s 4×400-meter relay squad after they also won silver in 2013.
The winner in each event, including relays, earns first-team All-SEC recognition; the second-place finisher in each event, including relays, earns second-team All-SEC recognition.
Scheper, the 4×4 and redshirt sophomore Sarah Graham, who finished sixth in the pentathlon and the high jump at the 2014 SEC Championships, have earned bids for the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. The event at the Albuquerque Convention Center is set for Fri., Mar. 14-Sat., Mar. 15.
