Doaneline.com reports:
Conference record holder, Sanderson prize winner, indoor and
outdoor female track athlete of the year 2011 and pentathlon and
heptathlon female All American junior Jill Ourada will not compete
for the rest of the season.
Ourada was injured at Saturday’s track meet at Concordia
University. Her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is torn. Her
lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is also damaged, but still in
tact.
She will need surgery to correct the torn ligaments. She will
not return to the track for the rest of the season.
“It’s weird; you see people, and you think ‘it wont happen to
me’ and now, here I am,” Ourada said.
Saturday’s meet was her first in a while because Ourada had just
recovered from a previous injury.
Track Assistant Coach Brad Jenny said he was glad to see Ourada
back on the track.
“I was happy for her because she was so ready for Saturday,”
Jenny said.
She injured the ligaments during warm ups for the long jump by
landing stiff-heeled into the sand pit.
Ourada got a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of her knee Tuesday.
She finds out official results today.
