Hamilton College’s Keira Rogan ’28 runs in the preliminary heats of the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships held at SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, on Thursday, May 22.

The first 11-runner heat begins at 7:35 p.m., and Rogan is one of 11 athletes in the second heat. The steeplechase final is the last event on Friday, May 23 with a start time of approximately 4:55 p.m.

Rogan owned the third-fastest performance in Division III in the event this spring with a time of 10:27.88, which she recorded in Hamilton’s outdoor invitational on April 4. She set team records in the steeplechase, the 1,500-meter run and the 5,000-meter run this season. Rogan finished second in the steeplechase at the NESCAC championships on April 26 and earned all-conference honors for the event.

Rogan is trying to collect her third all-America award in her first year with the Continentals’ cross country and track and field teams. She ended up in 15th place out of 290 finishers at the 2024 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships, and landed in fifth place out of 20 athletes in the 3,000-meter run at the 2025 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships.

MISHAWAKA ― Mark Watts had seen enough.

After Kyle Radde dunked the basketball, stole an ensuing pass and dunked the ball again, Watts knew he had a volleyball player on his hands. He walked across the gym floor and approached Radde about trying out the sport.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Two decades later, the two are on the same coaching staff — Watts a co-head coach with his wife, Kelley, and Radde an assistant for the Penn High School boys volleyball team. After being one of 16 programs to win an inaugural IHSAA sectional title in the sport, the Kingsmen will look to add regional hardware this weekend in Valparaiso.

“It’s awesome,” Radde said. “It’s where my roots started. And it all started in that gym that we’re practicing in now.”

A decorated pro volleyball career

As he alluded to, Radde is a Penn alum. Watts, a former teacher and girls volleyball coach at the school, was overseeing the intramural basketball teams at Penn when Radde showed off his athletic display.

A club boys volleyball team was formed in Radde’s junior and senior years, but it fizzled out once he graduated. While the team at Penn was over, Radde’s career in the sport was just starting.

He would play collegiately in the NAIA at Calumet College before transferring to the club team at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Radde would then spend some time overseas playing the game, including in countries like Austria, Belgum and Denmark.

Beach volleyball is where Radde would find his niche. He became one of the better players in the country at it, using his 6-foot-8 frame and dynamic leaping ability to be a force around the net. In 2014, he and his playing partner were one of four teams in a 104-team field to advance to the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) Main Draw in St. Petersburg, Florida.

He has continued to play locally, as well as starting his coaching career. That journey has taken him to the University of Olivet in Michigan and the Northern Indiana Volleyball Association, among other places, along with his current assistant gig with Penn.

At age 39, Radde is still playing. He needs shoulder surgery to fix some things this fall, but he plans on pursuing his pro career next summer after he’s healed up.

“I told the boys: I didn’t start until I was 17 or 18, and then I ended up playing professionally for 16 years … a lot of people would say that’s a late start, but it’s better late than never,” Radde said. “I’m glad I took that opportunity to play because, honestly, in my mind, there’s no better sport than volleyball.”

Helping the next generation of Penn boys volleyball

It was unknown if Penn would field a team for the first-ever IHSAA season as late as mid-February. Once the Watts committed to being the head coaches, though, the season became a reality.

“It’s amazing,” Mark Watts said. “It feels impossible. I’m enjoying it. Sometimes I sit back and think, ‘How the heck did we get here?’”

Radde’s impact is felt by everyone on the team, especially sophomore Liam Carter. The 6-foot-6 middle hitter has played at NIVA for four years, with Radde being one of his first coaches. He was unsure if he wanted to play for the high school team, but Radde convinced him to be part of history.

“I went to one practice, and it was definitely challenging,” Carter said. “I talked to (Radde) at another place I play at (NIVA) and he told me how much of a big deal this is with it being the first year and how big it could be for college.”

Like most teams in the area, there have been growing pains for Penn this year. They were able to put it all together in last week’s sectionals, though, beating three solid teams in Warsaw, South Bend Riley and Saint Joseph to claim the title.

“That’s why we coach,” Radde said. “It’s not for me to come out here and win a state title; it’s for the look on their faces when they won sectionals and how they felt. I’ve had some big wins in my career, and it means a lot. To see them having that same feeling, that’s where all the reward comes from coaching.”

Penn (13-10) now enters regional weekend as the underdog. They will face Washington Township (19-3) in the second semifinal at approximately 1 p.m. ET/noon CT Saturday, May 24, at Valparaiso High School. The first semifinal pits Lake Central (27-6) against Boone Grove (23-4) at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. CT. The final is set for 5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT.

The Kingsmen know it’ll be an uphill battle, but they’re ready for the challenge.

“I’m going to tell them to go out there and swing away,” Radde added. “Play aggressive, dive on the ground and be ready.”

MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho Track and Field had a lot to be proud of in the Big Sky Conference Outdoor Championships in Sacramento.

The record books saw some tweaks as ten total Vandals earned spots on the all-conference team for their efforts, with Jesuye Doherty and Mia Sylvester collecting conference titles in the long jump and shot put, respectively.

The efforts of three Idaho athletes have earned them the right to continue their season, as Sylvester, Katja Pattis, and Constanze Paoli have secured spots in the NCAA West First Round for their work in the conference championships from May 28-31.

Sylvester, one of two Big Sky Champions for the black and gold, recorded a meet-best mark of 15.73m (51’7.25) to secure the conference title and a placement in the regional. This throw currently stands as the 42nd best in all of DI Track and Field, as well as the third-best by a Big Sky athlete this season.

Pattis has been a mainstay at the 3,000m steeplechase throughout the conference championships. Her second-place finish of 10:03.05 in the outdoor meet is currently the 20th-best time in DI Track and Field, and she secured all-conference honors for her efforts in Sacramento.

Paoli had a career day at the conference championships in the steeplechase alongside Pattis. She finished third overall with a time of 10:10.24, locking down all-conference honors as well as the 27th best time in all of Division I.

All four days of the first round will be broadcast on ESPN+, and live results are available on govandals.com. The women’s shot put will take place on Thursday, May 29, at 6:00 PM CST / 4:00 PST, and the women’s 3,000m steeplechase will commence on Saturday, May 31, at 5:40 PM CST / 3:40 PM PST.

All scholarships will be honored at the existing levels for student-athletes who choose to stay at the university to finish their academic work and graduate.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Stephen F. Austin State University announced Thursday it is cutting the bowling, men’s and women’s golf and beach volleyball programs at the end of this school year.

In a news release, SFA said the cuts are being made due to “sustained departmental budget deficits and the anticipated financial impact of upcoming revenue-sharing requirements with Division I athletes.”

All scholarships will be honored at the existing levels for student-athletes who choose to stay at the university to finish their academic work and graduate. Those who want to transfer to another school to pursue their athletic careers will have the full backing and services of the SFA athletics administration to help with transferring, the announcement read.

Michael McBroom, director of athletics, said this reduction seeks to improve the department’s financial position and allow it to operate within its means while maintaining the 14 NCAA varsity programs and nationally acclaimed cheer and dance teams.

“Decisions like these are never easy, but they are made in the best interest of the athletic program and the university as a whole,” McBroom said. “Over the past year, we have made significant progress in reducing annual athletics expenditures, especially in our travel costs. Unfortunately, those efforts have not been enough. In order for SFA Athletics to deliver the best possible championship experience for all of our student-athletes in the face of very real economic and facility challenges, we made the difficult decision to reduce the number of sports we sponsor.”

McBroom said the changes will be difficult right now, but they will better position SFA to move forward in terms of fiscal responsibility.
