At the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, senior Carey Lyons closed out her decorated career with her first All-American finish on the track.

The prestigious honor comes after Lyons placed seventh in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase after qualifying seventh in Thursday's preliminary run.

The,Tacoma, Washington native battled to break her own school record on Saturday afternoon. Everything was going well for Lyons as she hung around the front of the pack early on. On the third lap of the 9 ½ lap trek, Lyons got tripped up and fell to the track.

Determined, she fought hard and ran the bell lap in a blistering 77 seconds to crack into the top eight and register her first All-American performance on the track with a record time of 10:42.77.

Lyons trimmed over two and a half seconds off of her qualifying time to re-break her own record, which she set in the prelims.

After her thrilling performance in the 3,000 steeplechase, Lyons went on to run the women's 5k, finishing in 18:09.71.
