JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Harvard track & field continued its sensational week at the NCAA East First Round, as two more Crimson clinched their spots at next month’s NCAA Outdoor Championships.

For the second time in his Crimson career, sophomore Tito Alofe will compete at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, as the Peachtree City, Georgia native will head to Eugene, Oregon to feature in the men’s high jump final. Fellow sophomore Ferenc Kovacs will make his NCAA Outdoor Championships debut next month in the men’s 1500m.

An All-America First Team selection in the outdoor men’s high jump during his inaugural collegiate campaign in 2024, Alofe will head back to the NCAA Outdoor Championships for a second-straight season. In Jacksonville, Alofe showed perseverance at each height. After leaping over the bar at 2.05m (6’8.75″) on his second attempt, Alofe cleared both 2.10m (6’10.75″) and 2.15m (7′.5″) on his first attempts. Alofe missed his first two jumps at 2.18m (7’1.75″) but punched his ticket to Hayward Field by clearing the bar on his third and final try, finishing in a tied for third in the first flight.

The men’s 1500m saw another Crimson qualify for the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Featuring in the second heat, Kovacs orchestrated a stellar run, posting a split of 45.06 in the opening 300m and closing out the race with a 52.97 over the last lap. The school record holder in the 1500m, Kovacs finished in third in the second heat with a time of 3:44.54 to automatically qualify for the 1500m semifinals in Eugene.

Racing in the third and final heat, Harvard’s men’s 4x100m relay squad went toe-to-toe with the some of the nation’s top teams, as sophomore Timi Esan, junior Jonas Clarke and first-years Jordan Coleman and Harlow Tong combined for a time of 39.43, finishing in 15th place.

In the men’s 3000m steeplechase, first-year William Brunner made his NCAA East First Round debut. A native of Vail, Colorado, Brunner navigated the obstacles to a time of 9:03.27, finishing in 29th place.

Harvard wrapped the action on the track with two participants in the men’s 5000m. Finishing in 21st place, sophomore Charlie Ortmans posted a time of 14:19.81. A qualifier in the men’s 10,000m, junior Shane Brosnan took 37th after crossing the finish line in 14:43.96.

After action was suspended yesterday due to severe weather in the Jacksonville area, senior Anastasia Retsa concluded her time in the Sunshine State in the women’s pole vault. A native of Athens, Greece, Retsa finished in 15th after clearing 4.09m (13’5″) on her second attempt.

UP NEXT:

Harvard concludes its time at the 2025 NCAA East First Round tomorrow, as the Crimson will feature in six events on the final day of action in Jacksonville.

NHL Playoffs 2025: Stanley Cup Final schedule, bracket, scores, as Oilers meet Panthers in rematch

The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers will meet in a Stanley Cup rematch. On Thursday night, the Oilers finished off the Western Conference Final with a 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 5.

Even though the Stars were the team with their backs against the wall, the Oilers were the more desperate squad from the opening puck drop. Corey Perry scored a power play goal just 2:31 into the game, and Edmonton was off and running. Not long after Perry broke the ice, Mattias Janmark scored on a breakaway thanks to an ill-timed line change by the Stars.

That goal, the second on as many shots for Edmonton, was enough for Dallas coach Pete DeBoer to give goaltender Jake Oettinger the hook.

Casey Smith replaced Oettinger, and he promptly surrendered the first playoff goal of Jeff Skinner’s 15-year career, which gave the Oilers a 3-0 lead in the first period.

Dallas managed to claw its way back and get the score to 3-2, but that’s when Connor McDavid threw on his cape. After a blocked shot flew out of the Oilers’ zone and toward center ice, McDavid kicked on the jets to beat Roope Hintz to the loose puck and deke out DeSmith on the breakaway.

McDavid finished the game with a goal and an assist, and he was at his best in this series-clinching matchup. His running mate, Leon Draisaitl, also notched a couple points in the form of two assists.

Additionally, Perry’s first-period tally was his seventh of the playoffs, which set a record for the most by any player over the age of 39. Perry has given the Oilers valuable depth scoring thanks to his presence around the crease.

Now that they’re through to the Stanley Cup Final, the Oilers will get a familiar foe. The Panthers just dispatched the Carolina Hurricanes with ease and are looking to repeat as Cup champs. Edmonton overcame a 3-0 deficit to force a Game 7 in 2024, but can it finish the job this time around?

SEC adjusting its gymnastics tournament | The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — The 2025 gymnastics season was the first in which the SEC had nine teams, but only eight qualified for the conference championship meet.

Arkansas was the odd team out after finishing ninth in the conference by National Qualifying Score, calculated by taking a team’s top six overall scores — three of which must be away from home — then dropping the top score and averaging the remaining five.

It was the first time in the league’s history that every team did not participate at the conference championship meet, and it was the only conference in which that happened.

Beginning in 2026, however, all SEC gymnastics programs will compete.

“All nine will be invited,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said at the conclusion of the league’s spring meetings Thursday. “Noting just the high level of competition and the impact on some of the score opportunities, it’s important for all of us to compete together.”

The Razorbacks’ NQS was ninth in the league but 16th in the country, meaning a team that did not qualify for its conference tournament was still a national seed in the NCAA postseason.

Arkansas was the only team not competing during conference championship weekend, giving it one less opportunity than every other team to boost its NQS before the NCAA Championships.

The Razorbacks tried to add a meet at Oregon State, which held a final meet against Fisk University because it is the only member of the Pac-12, but the NCAA did not permit Arkansas to add the competition after a request and subsequent appeal.

For 2026 and beyond, there will be an afternoon session of competition with four teams and a night session with the remaining five. A bye rotation will presumably be used for the session with an odd number of teams.

Sankey also announced the league would begin exploring a neutral site to host the SEC softball tournament in 2027 and beyond.

New soccer league coming to Snohomish County

Snohomish United is helping aspiring professional soccer players reach their dreams.

SNOHOMISH, Wash. — Some of the best young soccer players are descending upon Snohomish County, forming Washington’s newest soccer team.

All of them have one goal in mind.

“I’d like to see if I can land myself in a professional soccer environment,” said Chase Potter.

“In the long term, I want to play professional soccer,” said Sebastian Rangel.

Both are currently on the roster for Snohomish United. The team consists of some of the top college soccer players in the state. 

They play in USL League Two. USL League Two is a developmental league for players looking to move from college into the pros.

Coach Anthony Sardon said the competition is top tier.

“A lot of these guys are gonna be drafted. Some will get drafted after this summer. We have a couple of MLS draftees on our roster already.”

Sebastian Rangel and Chase Potter both play for Gonzaga.

“Everyone here is dedicated to what they’re doing,” said Potter. “They’re obsessed with what they’re doing and it’s a great environment because that rubs off on you.”

“You’ve weeded out the people who are just playing for fun,” added Rangel. “These are people who all want to take that next step to play pro.”

Christian Soto was First Team All-PAC-12 and played for a national championship at the University of Washington.

“There’s a lot of talent. Goals are gonna be scored, plays are gonna be made,” he said.

Though players come from all over, the team is rooted in its Snohomish community.

“We are part of this community,” said Coach Sardon. “We want people from downtown to come down here and watch us play. Then go eat, go shop.” 

Under the Snohomish United umbrella is TOPSoccer – a league for youth with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities.

“We build soccer skills, gross motor skills, but more than that they get to be part of a team,” said TOPSoccer organizer Linda Kautz.

USL League Two is hoping to bring a women’s team to Snohomish in the near future.

For now, the young men of Snohomish United pursue their professional soccer dreams. The team was already 4-0 as of May 30. They play their home opener June 1 at Stocker Fields in Snohomish.

“Our guys like to get the fans into it and get them pumped,” said Soto. “It’s exciting to watch.”
