USA Junior Goes Undefeated: USA Junior swept its weekend slate to become 2025 Men’s Senior Nationals champions! USA Junior squared off against Los Angeles Athletic Club in the championship game yesterday at UCSD Canyonview Aquatic Center.

LAAC came out firing in the opening quarter. Andras Toth put LAAC in front early and Ryder Dodd responded for USA Junior but that was all they could manage in the first. LAAC put together five more goals as Toth, Gray Carson, Frederico Jucá Carsalade, Robert Lopez Duart, and Sergi Cabanas all found the back of the net for a 6-1 lead after one. USA Junior started to come on in the second period but LAAC held strong. Ryan Ohl and Ryder Dodd (2) hit three quick ones to bring USA Junior within two before Marcell Szecsi, Samu Biros, and Chase Dodd pushed the LAAC lead back to five. Bode Brinkema and Dashiell McFarland traded goals for USA Junior and LAAC before Landon Akerstrom hit for USA Junior at the end of the half to leave LAAC up 10-6 at the break.

Following intermission, USA Junior began to flip this game and it started with a big offensive quarter. Seven third quarter goals from Ryan Ohl, Ben Liechty, Ryder Dodd (2), Max Zelikov, and Brinkema (2) offset three scores by LAAC via Dénes Varga, Cabanas, and Lopez Duart to leave things level at 13-13 headed to the final frame. USA Junior continued its momentum from the third into the fourth. Midway through the period, Akerstrom and Zelikov pushed USA Junior up by two with back-to-back goals. From there, LAAC needed offense that it just couldn’t muster culminating with a couple of big blocks late from USA Junior goalkeeper Charles Mills. With under one minute to play, Ryan Ohl ended any doubt with one more late goal and USA Junior emerged victorious, 16-13.

USA Junior was led by Ryder Dodd with five goals while Ryan Ohl and Landon Akerstrom each chipped in three. LAAC got two goals each from Andras Toth, Sergi Cabanas, and Robert Lopez Duart.

New York Athletic Club Upends The Olympic Club For 3rd: New York Athletic Club and The Olympic Club were locked in a tight contest throughout the third place game. NYAC took a 5-3 lead after one via goals from Hannes Daube, Alex Bowen (3) and Elias Liechty while The Olympic Club’s Riley Pittman recorded all three goals early. In the second, NYAC put home four as Daube, AJ Rossman, Massimo Di Martire, and Makoto Kenney scored. Ben Forer and Colin Mulcahy scored two for The Olympic Club to leave NYAC up 9-5 at the half.

The Olympic Club scored first to open the second half when Pittman put home another. Olympic Club also got scores from Thomas Carroll and Mulcahy whereas NYAC fed Bowen, Gianpiero Di Martire, Matthew Farmer, and Jacob Cavano for four goals and a 13-8 edge after three. The Olympic Club did its best to make this interesting late. Pittman scored two more to open the final frame before Marcus Longton cut the deficit to two. Midway through the quarter, Rossman scored again for NYAC but Garrett Dunn had an answer for Olympic Club. At this pressure packed moment in the game, NYAC turned to its Olympians and they did the trick. Bowen and Daube each scored down the stretch to put the game away for NYAC and earn the 16-12 victory.

2025 USTFCCCA Outdoor Track and Field All-Region Honorees

The Hillsdale College track and field teams are preparing to wrap up the 2024-25 season this weekend at the NCAA DII Outdoor Championships in Pueblo, Colorado. First, however, the Chargers are celebrating some additional honors their athletes have earned from the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) last week.

Nine Chargers, four men and five women, earned All-Midwest Region honors for the 2025 outdoor season from the USTFCCCA, including eight of the nine athletes representing Hillsdale at the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Championships beginning on Thursday. USTFCCCA All-Region honors go to the individuals with the top five times or marks in each event in each of the eight NCAA Division II regions across the country, as well as the members of each top-three ranked relay teams.

On the men’s side, there are three repeat All-Region honorees, led by senior Richie Johnston, who received his third consecutive outdoor All-Region honor in the 3,000m steeplechase after breaking his own school record in the event earlier this season. Joining Johnston in earning All-Region honors is senior Cass Dobrowolski, who finished in the top five in the region in the high jump for the second-straight outdoor season and third time overall, and also earned All-Region honors in the triple jump for the first time. Also receiving repeat All-Region honors is junior Ben Haas, the 2025 indoor weight throw national champion who finished in the top five in the hammer throw for the second straight year, and also earned All-Region honors in the outdoor shot put for the first time.

Hillsdale also got a first time All-Region honoree in senior Ross Kuhn, who broke a 28-year old school record in the 1,500m run to receive All-Region honors in the event. All four Hillsdale men who earned All-Region honors will be competing in Pueblo this weekend.

On the women’s side, Hillsdale had five athletes earn recognition. The lone repeat honoree for the Chargers among female competitors is senior Averi Parker, who took All-Region honors in both the hammer throw and shot put to add to the same awards won in 2023. Parker redshirted last outdoor season but is back among the nation’s elite competitors in both events.

Junior Tara Townsend also earned outdoor All-Region honors for the first time in the pole vault, after a season that included personal bests and a G-MAC Championship. Along with Townsend, three members of a standout freshman class also earned All-Region honors for Hillsdale — Evyn Humphrey in the 1,500m run, Allison Kuzma in the 10,000m run and Baelyn Zitzmann in the heptathlon. All three athletes are part of a decorated young core that portends a bright future for the Chargers’ women’s track and field team in years to come. Parker, Townsend, Humphrey and Kuzma all will compete in Pueblo later this week as well.

The NCAA DII Outdoor track and field championships begin on Thursday, May 22 and will run for three days through the 24th in Pueblo, Colorado. Links to watch live, see live results or purchase tickets are available at hillsdalechargers.com.
