Tying for the highest finish by any individual Urban Knight at NCAA Division II Indoor Nationals, Yacouba Gnacko represented Academy of Art on the podium in the triple jump.

Starting the competition with a strong effort on Mar. 9 inside Pitt State's Robert W. Plaster Center, Gnacko shot up the rankings into a tie for first overall. The Industrial Design major's opening distance of 50-9.25 (15.47m) was his second-farthest mark achieved this season and had him fifth overall by the end of the day. The now six-time All-American ended as one of just four competitors to complete all six jumps.
