🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Ida Breigan’s performance at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships marks only the third UTSA First Team All-American honor in the outdoor women’s long jump, the last recorded in 1996 by Hall-of-Famer Tameka Roberts. So the correct answer was two!

🤙🏼 Have a great Wednesday, y’all!
