NEW ORLEANS – Outstanding Performers of the Championships from the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships were announced on Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The USTFCCCA honors the Outstanding Performers of the Championships at both the NCAA DIII Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Winners are determined using a formula that adds together team points scored, plus meet records (five additional points), Division III seasonal bests (three additional points) and facility records (one point). Relay points, if applicable, are split equally among the four team members.
Men’s honors went to Sam Blaskowski of UW-La Crosse and Yakob Ekoue of UW-Eau Claire on the track and in the field, respectively, while Lauren Jarrett of UW-La Crosse and Alexis Boykin of MIT stood out for the women in those respective areas.
