Bio

In her three seasons at Texas Lutheran, sprinter Staci Jackson put together a women's track and field career second to none. As a Bulldog, Jackson was a two-time NCAA Division III national champion, winning national titles in the 2007 NCAA Division III indoor 4x400 meter relay and in the 2008 NCAA Division III outdoor 4x100 relay. Jackson completed her outstanding career with a third-place finish in the open 400 at the 2009 national championship meet. That third-place finish brought her record haul of All-America honors at TLU to 10. (Jackson actually finished her career with 11 All-America citations overall after claiming one with McMurry in 2006.) Jackson's All-America award in 2009 was her third consecutive in the 400. She was eighth in the event in 2007, sixth in 2008, and then third in 2009. Jackson's nine previous All-America citations were produced in the following events: the 2007 indoor 4x400 relay (1st), the 2007 outdoor 400 (8th), the 2007 outdoor 4x100 relay (3rd), the 2007 outdoor 4x400 relay (7th); the 2008 indoor 400 (6th), the 2008 indoor 4x400 relay (3rd); the 2008 outdoor 400 (6th), the 2008 outdoor 4x100 (1st), and the 2008 outdoor 4x400 (2nd). Jackson won or contributed to 11 American Southwest Conference titles, and she held eight TLU school records in indoor and outdoor track and field upon completion of her career. She was the 2007 and 2009 ASC Women's Track Athlete of the Year, the 2007 and 2009 TLU Female Student-Athlete of the Year, and the 2007 NCAA DIII South/Southeast Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year.
