Individual Highlights
• The Maize and Blue earned three individual medals at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, with Savannah Sutherland claiming the 400-meter dash title (51.74 seconds) for the second straight year. Aasia Laurencin finished second in the 60-meter hurdles (7.97), and Elizabeth Tapper finished third in the shot put (18.26 meters/59 feet, 11 inches).
• Laurencin’s time set the St. Lucia 60-meter hurdles national record while Tapper’s mark set the program shot put record and is 24th all-time on the NCAA performers list.
• The trio represented Michigan at the NCAA Indoor Championships, with Sutherland placing fourth in the 400-meter dash (51.23) and Laurencin placing sixth in the 60-meter hurdles (8.09). Sutherland’s time set the program and Canadian national records for the 400-meter dash. Tapper finished 12th (16.90m/55-5.5) in her NCAA Championships debut.
• Earlier in the season, Sutherland also set the program 200-meter dash record (23.26) and came just 0.01 seconds shy of the 60-meter dash mark with a time of 7.34 at the Michigan Invitational.
• In the outdoor season, Sutherland claimed her third straight Big Ten 400-meter hurdles title (55.37) before setting the NCAA East First Round meet record in the event for the second consecutive year with a time of 54.39 to punch her ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
• Tapper finished second in the shot put at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships and set the program record with a mark of 17.65m (57-11). Sidney Green also took home silver in the 400-meter hurdles (57.47), while the 4×400-meter relay team of Payton Smith, Sutherland, Green and Trinity Henderson earned bronze (3:32.47). Emma Yungeberg finished fourth in the javelin throw, improving on her program-record personal best with a mark of 53.08m (174-1).
• Clare McNamara had a breakout performance in the heptathlon at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, setting six personal-best marks, including coming in at No. 3 on the program performers list in the heptathlon (5,698 points) to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
• Four Wolverines qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships as individuals, with Sutherland (400-meter hurdles), Yungeberg (javelin throw), Tapper (shot put) and Abigail Russell (shot put) punching their tickets at the NCAA East First Round. The 4×400-meter relay team of Smith, Green, Sutherland and Noelani Phillips set the program record (3:29.22) for the second time during the season to advance to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
• In her final race for the Maize and Blue, Sutherland won her second NCAA 400-meter hurdles title (52.46). The time set a new collegiate, program, Big Ten, NCAA Championship meet and Canadian national record and is ninth all-time in the world. She is now just the second NCAA athlete to break 53 seconds in the event (Sydney McLaughlin, 52.75) and the third Wolverine to earn multiple individual national titles. Sutherland was named the United States Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and a 2025 finalist for track and field’s highest honor, The Bowerman. She is the first Bowerman finalist in program history and is the first female finalist to represent the Big Ten for the honor.
• Tapper earned second team All-America honors with a 14th-place finish in the shot put (16.97m/55-8.25), while Russell, Yungeberg, McNamara and the relay team were named All-America honorable mention.
