Men’s Recap

It might be time for a bigger trophy case in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

That’s because UW-La Crosse Eagles closed out the meet with their second straight outdoor title, and their 17th in program history. UWL was led by Sam Blaskowski, who championed the 100 meters and 200 meters. Blaskowski was also a member of the Eagles’ 4×100 meter relay team, along with Ryder Smith, Evan Maurud, and Lyndon Hemmrich-Hartman, which won the title in a meet-record 39.66. 

Blaskowski’s performances weren’t the only UWL efforts that impressed. The duo of Joey Sullivan and Adam Loenser finished first and second in the 3000-meter steeplechase, while Collin Conzemius, Cael Schoemann, and a La Crosse 4×400 meter relay team capped top-3 finishes for the Eagles.

UW-Eau Claire finished runner-up and was led by top-three performances in the discus, hammer, and shot put by Yakob Ekoue. Field event athletes accounted for 44 of the Blugolds’ 56 points.

Rowan, buoyed by characteristic dominance in the 110-meter hurdles, took third, while Saint John’s (Minn.) edged UW-Oshkosh for the final spot on the podium. Bethel (Minn.), whose 4×400 relay team capped off the year for DIII men’s track & field with a bang by setting a divisional record of 3:06.52, were a clear sixth.

Women’s Recap

Following up on their first-ever women’s title indoors, the MIT Engineers used their time wisely outdoors, winning their first-ever women’s outdoor title.

In characteristically strong form, Alexis Boykin led the Engineers as they fought for the title. Boykin championed the shot put, breaking the 19 year old Division III record in the process, and finishing third in both the discus and the hammer throw, racking up 22 points on the weekend. 

Other key athletes for MIT over the weekend included Marina Miller, who took third place in the 400 meters, Kate Sanderson, who ran a personal best to place fourth in the 10,000 meters, and the duo of Gillian Roeder and Christina Crow, who finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the 1500 meters.

Washington (Mo.) took runner-up honors, led by Yasmin Ruff’s victory in the pole vault, while UW-La Crosse and UW-Eau Claire finished third and fourth, respectively. Lauren Jarrett was all over the podium for the Eagles at the championship, winning the 100 meters, the 200 meters (equaling the meet record), and anchoring the Division III record-breaking 4×100 meter relay team. 

Beyond Boykin and Jarett’s record-breaking performances this weekend, a number of other women had stand-out performances. Penelope Greene of SUNY Geneseo ran 33:46.70 in the 10,000 meters while Nikki Boon of Emory put up 5435 points in the heptathlon to break meet records in their events. Aryianna Garceau of UMass Boston added a sensational performance of her own, breaking the 27 year old Division III record in the 100 meter hurdles, running 13.54 to best the field by over two-tenths of a second.
