Emy Ntekpere was named the 2025 NCAA Division II Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Field Athlete of the Year. Ntekpere, who hails from Vancouver, Washington, became the first athlete in NCAA history to win both the high jump and triple jump at the same NCAA Championships meet, which she did in Pueblo, Colorado. Her field series in the triple jump included the sixth best all-conditions mark in NCAA DII history of 13.32m (43-9), as well as three other marks 13.24m or farther. Earlier in the season, Ntekpere scored 40 points at the GNAC Championships with victories in the heptathlon, high jump, and both horizontal jumps.
