BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –
Orlandus Gamble became just the third student-athlete in the modern-era history of the UNC Pembroke men's track & field program to rake in all-America status at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships with a jump of 2.01 meters in the High Jump event on Friday afternoon.
The redshirt junior joined a short and distinguished list of the program's indoor all-Americans and now stands alongside Javon Graham, who competed in the 60-meter Hurdles during the 2019 championships, and
Joshua Chepkesir, who qualified to compete in the 3000- and 5000-meter Runs last season.
Gamble registered an NCAA provisional qualifying mark with a personal-best leap of 2.08 meters at the Roanoke Invitational Challenge in January. The all-region selection also captured a first-place finish at the Conference Carolinas Conference Championship with a mark of 1.96 meters.
