McCall, a world-class thrower at SIU, is one of the most decorated track & field athletes in school history. A three-time NCAA champion, she claimed the NCAA Indoor weight throw and NCAA Outdoor hammer throw titles in 2012, and also captured the NCAA Outdoor discus championship in 2010. Her three national titles are the most by an athlete at SIU and third-most in league history. In total, McCall was a 13-time All-American and 15-time MVC champion. In addition to her three national titles, she was a three-time national runner-up in the shot put, hammer throw and weight throw. She capped off her remarkable career by finishing as a semifinalist for the 2012 Bowerman Award, which is the track & field equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. McCall continued to compete on the international stage and was the first American woman to medal in the hammer throw in worldwide competition with her win in the event at the 2013 World University Games.Â
