Aurora University Track and Field student-athlete, senior Jocelyn Ocon (weight throw) earned the distinction as a Division III All-American, recognized by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the 2019-2020 Indoor Track and Field season.

The Division III Track & Field Executive Committee, with support of the USTFCCCA Board of Directors, has directed the national office to reconfigure the USTFCCCA All-America program for the 2020 indoor track & field season. Normal policies dictate that All-America honors are awarded to student-athletes who score any portion of a team point (top-eight in the final of an individual event or as a member of a top-eight placing relay event) at the NCAA Championships.

Due to the cancellation of the NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships, the Executive Committee adopted the following criteria:

• Based on the selected participants for the national championships initially announced by the NCAA on Sunday, March 8 the following will be recognized as All-America for the 2020 indoor track & field season:
  • Individual events: ALL student-athletes declared and initially accepted into their event.
  • Relay events: Members of ALL relays who produced the performance that was declared and initially accepted into their event.

Senior thrower Jocelyn Ocon made a return trip to the NCAA Indoor Championships and was scheduled to enter the weight throw with the sixth ranked throw in 2020 prior to the NCAA canceling all winter championships due to COVID-19. She qualified with a distance of 18.16m/59'7". Her mark is the best throw all-time for a Spartan. Ocon earned All-American honors at the 2019 NCAA Division III Indoor Championship and at the 2019 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship.
