Sara Bohall Putnam is among the legends of Earlham track and field, compiling an impressive list of accolades and records as a member of the Quaker cross country and track teams between 2004 and 2008.

An NCAA Division III All-American, Bohall finished fourth in the 400m hurdles at the 2008 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Oshkosh, Wis., with a time of 1:01.35. She earned 16 All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) awards in indoor and outdoor track, capturing eight NCAC individual championships in the indoor 55m hurdles, the outdoor 100m hurdles (three times), and the outdoor 400m hurdles (four times). The two-time Indiana Intercollegiate 400m hurdle champion held five Earlham track records at the time of her graduation, and continues to hold the school record as Earlham’s all-time leading scorer in track with 563 points.

Bohall was a three-time recipient of the Most Outstanding Performer award for Earlham women’s track and field, and received the George Van Dyke Senior Athlete Award in 2008.
