More All-American honors were earned by Clark County runners at the NCAA Division II indoor championships on Saturday.

Mountain View High grad Lynelle Decker of Seattle Pacific placed second in the 800 meters, and was on the 4×400 relay team that placed third at Pittsburgh, Kan. Both placings earned Decker two All-American honors.

Decker posted a Seattle Pacific indoor school-record time of 2 minutes, 7.52 seconds, beating the old record of 2:07.57 set in 2008 by Jessica Pixler.

The 4×400 relay team also broke a school record with their time of 3:42.44. The previous mark was 3:46.34 in 2013.

Saint Martin’s Shannon Porter, a Hockinson grad, earned All-American honors in the 3,000 by placing eighth with a career-best time of 9:35.31. Her sister Georgia, running for Western State and also a Hockinson grad, placed 14th in 9:48.24.
