A student-athlete earned All-America honors if he or she earned a team point in their respective event at the 2014 NCAA Division II Outdoor Men's and Women's Track & Field Championship this past weekend in Allendale, Mich. Saint Augustine's University outscored Adams State 112 to 67 for its second straight men's outdoor championship and 35th NCAA title overall for the program led by legendary Head Coach George Williams.
