NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Following the completion of the 2025 Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships on Sunday, student-athletes from the men’s and women’s teams were recognized with postseason All-Ivy accolades. Obiora Okeke, Joshua Adams, Rory Clare, Haydn Brotschi, and the men’s 4×800 relay all received All-Ivy honors, while Adams and Seraiah Bruno were also lauded for their academics.
Okeke was named Men’s Field Performer of the Meet and First Team All-Ivy in shot put after a historic performance over the weekend. Okeke made headlines, capturing the Shot Put Ivy League Championship with a historic toss of 20.17m, which set a new meet record as well as a program record. He also placed fourth in the discus with a mark of 52.21m and seventh in the hammer.
Rory Clare represented the women with a Second Team All-Ivy selection in the 1500m, winning a silver medal with a time of 4:25.64.

Haydn Brotschi also garnered Second Team All-Ivy Honors in the 400m, after he won a silver medal with a time of 46.80 — just under two tenths of a second away from gold.
The final Second Team All-Ivy selection from Columbia was the men’s 4×800 relay, consisting of Ben Bergey, Justin Gottlieb, Matt Gatune, and Jacob Van Orden. The team finished with a time of 7:23.90 to claim the silver medal.
