University of South Dakota track and field athlete Carly Haring was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship yesterday, as she became the 34th Coyote student-athlete to earn the honor.
Haring earned one of 126 scholarships that are distributed each year by the NCAA across all sports and divisions. She has also announced that she will continue her education at USD, as she will complete her schooling through the Sanford School of Medicine.
Outside of the classroom, Haring was a five-time all-Summit League honoree in the women’s high jump and won the Summit League outdoor high jump conference championship as a sophomore.
