Katherine George | Women’s Open Rowing

One of the best rowers in the country, Katherine George has collected two first-team All-American honors and was selected as a finalist for the CRCA Athlete of the Year last year. All George has ever known is the first varsity as she helped the Tigers to the Ivy League title and a bronze medal at NCAAs as a freshman, the boat’s best finish since 2013 at the time. As a sophomore, George rowed on the varsity eight that did not lose in the regular season including a victory over No. 1 Texas, ending the Longhorn’s 22-race winning streak. George and the Tigers won 2023 Ivy gold, earning the program’s fourth straight Ivy crown and third consecutive Ivy team title.

In 2024, George paced the 1V to the top time at the Ivy League Championships, earning the program the Sally P. Shoemaker Trophy and the NCAA automatic bid. George will look to make it four for four as the Tigers compete for the 2025 Ivy League championship this weekend on the Cooper River. The history major from Chearsley, United Kingdom has secured two All-Ivy accolades and has led the Tigers’ 1V to a 31-3 mark in her four seasons during the regular season.

A three-time first-team All-Ivy selection, Liu has won her home event at the Princeton Invitational three times.

Mena Scatchard | Women’s Cross Country

An eight-time Ivy League champion, Mena Scatchard is one of the most accomplished distance runners in the 47 year history of Princeton women’s track and field. A 2025 NCAA indoor runner-up in the mile, Scatchard is just the second Tiger to place that high at nationals – and she did it while climbing from 10th to second with the fastest final two laps in the entire field. At the conference level, Scatchard won individual Ivy League titles in four events, while winning four 4×800 relay titles. She set four facility records during her championship performances. Additionally, she is a nine-time First Team and three-time Second Team All-Ivy honoree. A public & international affairs major from North Yorkshire, U.K., Scatchard has rewritten the Princeton record books during her four years. She holds six program records, including the 5000m, 1500m, 3000m, mile, 4×800 relay and distance medley relay. She also ranks second all-time in the Princeton record books in three other events, while making the all-time top-10 in four more. Scatchard’s performances have landed her in the Ivy League all-time top-10, all-meets in seven events. A rare middle distance runner that also excels on the cross country course, Scatchard is a two-time All-Ivy performer and finished second overall to lead the Tigers to their first cross country Heps title in nine years. Scatchard’s individual achievements and leadership have guided Princeton women’s cross country and women’s track and field to new heights this year, helping the program complete its first Triple Crown since 2011 and third all-time – two milestones that will be cemented and cherished in the history of the program.

 

Kayla Yelensky | Women’s Water Polo

A four-time CWPA All-Conference player and soon to be three-time All-American, Kayla Yelensky was the engine of the Princeton Women’s Water Polo Team’s offense during her time with the Tigers. Yelensky led the Tigers to three CWPA Championship appearances including the 2023 and 2024 titles. In 2023, Yelensky registered 60 goals and 87 points for a squad that finished 30-4 overall, just the third team in program history to have least 30 victories (2014, 2015).

FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas sprinter Jordan Anthony is among 10 semifinalists named for the 2025 Bowerman and becomes the eighth semifinalist from the Razorback men’s program.

Previous Arkansas men’s semifinalist include Omar McLeod (2015), Jarrion Lawson (2016), Ayden Owens-Delerme (2022), Jaydon Hibbert (2023), Carey McLeod (2023), Romaine Beckford (2024), and Wayne Pinnock (2024).

In a season that included sweeping NCAA titles in the 60m indoors and 100m outdoors, Anthony set UA school records in both events with times of 6.47 and 9.95. It was the first time since Christian Coleman of Tennessee in 2017 that the NCAA 60m and 100m titles were won by the same sprinter.

Anthony was the lone sprinter to reach the NCAA Indoor 60m, NCAA Outdoor 100m and 200m finals this season.

During the NCAA West First Round in College Station, Texas, Anthony sped to a time of 9.75 with a 2.1 aiding wind. For the 2025 season it’s the world leader under all-conditions. All-time it ranks =No. 9 world, =No. 3 American, and =No. 2 collegian under all-conditions.

As the Razorbacks contended for team titles in SEC and NCAA Championships, Anthony supplied vital points for Arkansas. He earned the Commissioner’s trophy at the SEC Outdoor Championships as the high-point scorer with 21.5 points as the Razorbacks claimed the team title.

Twenty of those conference points came in sweeping the 100m and 200m with stellar performances of 9.95 and 19.93 as Anthony became just the third sprinter in SEC history to achieve the sweep with sub-10 and sub-20 second times.

Named the SEC Outdoor Runner of the Year, Anthony became the first Razorback to attain the honor since Caleb Cross in 2012.

Anthony was also the high-point scorer at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with 16.5 points. Combining the NCAA Indoor (10 points) with his NCAA Outdoor tally, Anthony produced the most points between both championships in 2025 with 26.5 points.

Arkansas placed fourth in team scoring at the NCAA Indoor and were third at NCAA Outdoor.

In addition to setting school records in the 60m and 100m, the 19.93 performance in the 200m ranks second on the Arkansas all-time list behind a 19.89 registered by Wallace Spearmon, Jr. in 2005.

With Anthony running anchor leg on the 4 x 100m relay, which placed third at SEC and NCAA Outdoor meets, the Razorbacks generated a season best of 38.51 in the NCAA semifinal to rank No. 3 on the UA all-time list behind the school record of 38.47 set in 2015.

After a standout university career and a recently signed professional contract in France, Emma Boyd continues to add to her resume. The former Mount Royal Cougars captain has officially been named to Volleyball Canada’s Next Gen program for the second year in a row.

Boyd was first selected to the national development program in 2024 and has now earned her place again in 2025 a reflection of her continued growth and potential at the international level. The Next Gen program, hosted at the Women’s National Training Centre in Richmond, B.C., runs from June 2 until mid-September 2025. It offers a full-time high-performance training environment and prepares athletes for the systems and expectations of the Senior National Team.

The Next Gen program is designed to develop future members of Canada’s senior national team, providing elite athletes with opportunities to train, compete, and represent the country in high-performance environments. The program also features international competition, including the U23 NORCECA Pan Am Cup (July 25 – August 2 in Mexico), the NORCECA Pan Am Cup (August 1 – 11 in Mexico), and the NORCECA Final Six (September 13 – 22 in Mexico).

Boyd’s invitation to the program comes just weeks after she signed her first professional contract with Volley-Ball Club de Chamalières, a team in France’s top women’s league, Ligue A Féminine. The opportunity to train with Canada’s top rising players while also beginning her professional career abroad is another significant step forward in what has been a breakout year for the middle blocker.

During her time at Mount Royal University from 2021 to 2025, Boyd developed into one of the Cougars’ most dominant and dependable players. Over four seasons, she racked up 736.5 points, 518 kills, 197 blocks, and 105 service aces, all while maintaining a .292 hitting percentage. In her final season, she was named a Canada West Second Team All-Star and served as team captain.

Boyd previously helped MRU capture silver medals at both the Canada West and U SPORTS championships in 2022–23, one of the most successful seasons in program history.

Now set to begin her pro career in France, Boyd will also continue to wear the maple leaf, training and competing with Canada’s best young talent, and keeping her sights set on one day playing for the senior national team.
