Savannah Sutherland was named the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Outdoor Track & Field National Track Athlete of the Year. Sutherland, who hails from Borden, Saskatchewan, shattered the collegiate record in the 400-meter hurdles in a winning effort at the NCAA DI Outdoor Championships. Her time of 52.46 not only took down Sydney McLaughlin’s seven-year-old CR, it also moved Sutherland up to No. 9 in world history. Earlier in the season, the Michigan standout set an NCAA DI East First Round all-time best in the event and took top individual honors at the Big Ten Championships before that. Sutherland is the first athlete from Michigan to earn a national honor in any of the three sports: cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field.
