Hopkins Grabs Eighth Centennial Outdoor Track Title

COLLEGEVILLE, PA – The Johns Hopkins men’s outdoor track team earned eight medals, including three golds, and the Blue Jays used 15 top-five finishes on the final day of the 2025 Centennial Conference Championships to fuel a run to the eighth conference title in program history.  The Blue Jays finished with 218 points to unseat three-time defending conference champion Ursinus, which placed second with 171 points.
 
The 218 points the Blue Jays amassed are the third-most Johns Hopkins has earned in Centennial Conference Championship history.

In addition to the team title, the Blue Jays also nabbed the Outstanding Field Performer of the Meet in sophomore Sebastian Tangelson.

 

Johns Hopkins, which trailed by two points entering the final day of competition at the three-day championship, scored points in 12 of 13 events on Sunday to pull away from the Bears.  Five of the 15 top-five finishes for the Blue Jays on Sunday came in the final three events.

 

First-place finishes and top performances for the Blue Jays on Sunday:

 

• Triple Jump – The Blue Jays picked up the first of their three Sunday golds as Oluwademilade Adeniran eased to the title with a leap of 14.32-meters, which was more than a foot father than teammate Ethan Oluwole, who grabbed silver with a mark of 13.97-meters.  Oluwole’s jump was a season best and Sebastian Tangelson added a fifth-place finish (13.46).
  
   
• 5,000-Meter – Junior Emmanuel Leblond continued his impressive season and became Hopkins’ second all-time champion in the 5000 as he cruised across in 14:07.20.  The mark is a season-best for Leblond, a meet record and the 10^th-best time in the nation this season.  Tommy Li (4^th / 14:45.73), Nash Minor (6^th / 14:55.84) and Sean Enright (7^th / 14:57.07) teamed with Leblond to grab 20 team points in the event for the Blue Jays.
  
   
• 4×400-Meter Relay – The third and final gold medal on the day for the Blue Jays came in the final event as the team of Alex Colletti, Spencer Ye, Fisayo Omonije and Joshua Lee crossed the line in a meet-record time of 3:16.65.  This is the seventh time in Centennial Championship history that Johns Hopkins has won the event and the time is the second-best in Johns Hopkins history.
  
   
• 1,500-Meter – The Blue Jays earned a silver and placed four runners in the top seven to grab 18 points.  Aiden Tomov finished as the runner-up with a time of 3:55.61, while Brady Ott (4^th / 3:58.42), Connor Oiler (6^th / 3:58.87) and Rowan Cassidy (7^th / 3:58.64) added crucial team points with their top-seven finishes.
  
   
• 4×100-Meter Relay – The Johns Hopkins team of Alex Colletti, Spencer Ye, Josh Lee and Carter Chui posted a Blue Jay school-record time of 41.68 to earn a runner-up finish.
  
   
• 100 & 200-Meter – Alex Colletti grabbed silver in the 100 and 200-meter dashes to earn 16 individual points to go along with his efforts on the first-place 4×400-meter relay and the runner-up 4×100-meter relay.  He crossed in 10.78 seconds in the 100 and 21.85 in the 200.  Joshua Gregory (5^th / 22.57) and Spencer Ye (6^th / 22.65) added top-six finishes with Gregory’s time a season best. 

The final medal of the day for the Blue Jays came in the 800-meter run as the Blue Jays’ Evan Kelly grabbed bronze with a personal-best time of 1:52.93.  Fisayo Omonije was just behind in fourth place as he clocked in at 1:53.16.
