BOSTON, Mass. – The Saint Joseph's College track & field team capped off the indoor season in historic fashion, rewriting the record books at the 2025 New England Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships at The TRACK at New Balance from February 28 and March 1.
Every competing athlete recorded a school record, marking a monumental achievement in program history. The weekend featured four new program-best marks on the men's side, including one of the fastest 600m performances in NCAA Division III history, while the women's team clocked a new relay record to conclude a breakthrough season.
"This was a record-setting weekend to wrap up another impressive season in Monk's Track & Field History," said Head Coach Mike Burleson. "All eleven athletes who competed this weekend came home with a school record. I am so proud of the effort and commitment from these athletes who started their season in October and put it all together with their best performances on the New England level. This is another big step forward for our program and certainly gives us momentum as we head into the outdoor season."
