EDMONTON, Alberta – North Dakota State freshman distance runner Emma Kusch Dahle captured the Canadian junior national championship in the 5,000m on Thursday afternoon in Edmonton.
 
Kusch Dahle (Winnipeg, Manitoba) took first place in a time of 17:46.68, winning the race by a margin of 25 seconds.
 
Kusch Dahle capped her freshman season at NDSU by placing second in the 10,000m and third in the 5,000m at the Summit League Outdoor Championships in May.
 
She becomes the second Bison track & field athlete to win a Canadian junior title in the last two seasons, as NDSU sophomore Matt Bedard claimed the men's 400m hurdles crown last year. The junior division is limited to athletes who do not turn 20 years old until at least 2017.
 
At the USATF Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., Amanda Smock finished 10th in the triple jump with a mark of 43-00.50 (13.12m). It was her third and final Olympic Trials appearance, as she announced her retirement following the meet.
 
Smock concludes her career as a seven-time USA champion in the triple jump. She won four straight national indoor titles in the event (2012-15) and three outdoor titles (2011-12, 2014).
 
NDSU senior Sierra Rosenau finished 23rd in the javelin at the USA Olympic Trials. Rosenau's best mark of the competition was 158-1 (48.19m) on her second attempt.
