BOSTON — Emma Egan of Yarmouth won her second national championship and set a personal best by clearing 5 feet, 9 3/4 inches in the high jump at the NCAA Division III championships on Saturday at the Reggie Lewis Center.

Egan, a junior at Williams College, clinched the title with a clearance at 5-8 1/2. She didn’t miss until the bar was raised to 5-11 1/4, which would have been a championship meet record.

Egan also was the 2017 outdoor national champion. She finished second indoors as a freshman and third last year.

Hoyle placed third in the 800 with a time of 1 minute, 51.17 seconds, and Moody finished fifth in the heptathlon with 5,004 points. Both were school records.

Eickhoff placed third in the women’s 800 (2:11.37), and Cerkvenik was fifth with a school-record time of 8.82 in the 60 hurdles.
