PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men’s track and field team swept the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA)’s Mid-Atlantic Outdoor Regional Awards, the organization announced Friday.
Sam Rodman was named Track Athlete of the Year, Greg Foster was named Field Athlete of the Year, Robert Abdullah was named Assistant Coach of the Year and Jason Vigilante was named Head Coach of the Year.
Princeton men’s track and field was the only program, men’s or women’s, to sweep the awards.
Rodman was named Track Athlete of the Year after finishing fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 800m. Rodman lowered his PR time throughout the season, clocking in at 1:46.27 in Eugene to become a First Team All-American.
Earlier in the season, Rodman won silver in the 800 at Outdoor Heps, and ran a leg of the 4×400 squad that won silver as well.
Foster was named Field Athlete of the Year after earning First-Team All-America honors in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Foster jumped 7.80m/25-7.25″ in Eugene to finish seventh.
At Outdoor Heps, Foster won his fifth and sixth Ivy titles in the long jump and the 110 hurdles. Earlier this season, Foster set a new PR in the long jump, clearing 8.10m/26-7″ at the Virginia Challenge.
Along the way to the podium at Hayward Field, Foster was mentored by Abdullah, in his ninth year as assistant coach at Princeton. Abdullah coached the Tiger sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers, who combined for 85 points at Heps, winning three events.
Abdullah helped his athletes qualify for eight events at the NCAA East First Round, with Foster making it all the way to All-American status.
The Princeton program is led by Vigilante, in his second year as Head Coach. Under his leadership this year, the Tigers won their second-consecutive Triple Crown – completed with a dominant win at Outdoor Heps.
Over the course of the 2025 season, the Tigers boasted five individual Ivy League champions, 16 regional qualifiers, six new program records, a 4×400 Ivy League record and two First Team All-Americans.
The USTFCCCA’s Regional Awards were voted on by member coaches following the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene last weekend.
Three Student-Athletes Named Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Indiana – Recent Wabash College graduate Justin Santiago ’25 and rising seniors Sean Bledsoe ’26 and Xavier Tyler ’26 were named 2025 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine. All three were first-team selections, boosting the total to 13 Wabash student-athletes to be named an Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports […]
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Indiana – Recent Wabash College graduate Justin Santiago ’25 and rising seniors Sean Bledsoe ’26 and Xavier Tyler ’26 were named 2025 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine.
All three were first-team selections, boosting the total to 13 Wabash student-athletes to be named an Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar since 2018.
Santiago, a native of Westfield, Indiana, is a four-year letterwinner for the Wabash cross country and track and field teams. In his time with the programs, he helped the Little Giants win six conference championships (1 CC/5 TR). His collegiate best times include a 25:39.0 8,000-meter cross country effort at the 2023 NCAA DIII Great Lakes Region Championships to go with a 33:45.86 outdoor 10,000-meter run as a junior.
The financial economics major was active in the campus community as part of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and served as a production volunteer at his church. A Dean’s List honoree, Santiago was a summa cum laude graduate and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He served as an innovation consultant for Wabash College’s Center for Innovation, Business and Entrepreneurship and has a project management certification from the University of Adelaide.
Bledsoe, a native of Columbia City, Indiana, is athree-year letterwinner for the Wabash golf team, posting a 75.44 scoring average in 66 career rounds played. He was the runner-up at the 2025 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Championships, earning all-conference honors. He has seven rounds at par or better with a low of 69.
The English major is well connected on campus, serving as an advocate for ‘shOUT, the gay/straight alliance, working as a manager for the basketball team, and handling color commentator duties for the basketball livestreams. A Dean’s List honoree, Bledsoe also was named to the NCAC Academic Honor Roll.
Tyler, a native of Evansville, Indiana, is athree-year letterwinner and a second-team all-NCAC honoree for the football team after leading the Little Giants with more than 1,000 yards rushing in 2024. His accomplishments included a career-best 199 yards on Nov. 9, 2024, at Wittenberg, as well as a long rush of 81 yards, tied for the eighth-longest in school history, set Oct. 21, 2023 at Kenyon.
The philosophy major has held multiple positions of leadership within his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta. He is the community service committee chairman for the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies, has worked at a group home for people with severe mental and physical disabilities, and speaks regularly at inner-city middle schools to kids about attending college and how to positively carry themselves. Tyler is a Dean’s List honoree and has earned all-NCAC Academic Honor Roll accolades.
The trio joined Mawuli Nevis ’25 as Ashe honorees, as he was named the 2025 Arthur Ashe Jr. Wrestling Sports Scholar of the Year. A biology major from Cincinnati, he was a semifinalist for the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar of the Year award. Nevis is the second Wabash student-athlete to earn national distinction from the publication in the last three years.
Since 1992, Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars have demonstrated stellar athletic ability and academic performance (3.5 cumulative GPA or higher), in addition to a commitment to community service and student leadership. The award is inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe Jr.’s dedication to education as well as his love for the game of tennis.

NEW YORK – Brady Ambro has been named Head Coach of the Baruch College Men’s Volleyball Team.
The announcement was made by Baruch College Director of Athletics and Recreation, Heather MacCulloch on Thursday.
A Baruch alumni (’17) and former standout on the court, Ambro returns to the program he once proudly represented. With an established connection to Baruch College and first hand experience competing at the highest level of Division III volleyball, he is well-positioned to lead the Bearcats to an era of more success.
“We are proud to welcome back Brady Ambro as the new Head Coach of Baruch College Men’s Volleyball,” said Heather MacCulloch. “As a dedicated alumnus, former assistant coach, and a key member of our NCAA tournament teams, Brady brings not only deep experience but also a true passion for the Baruch program. His commitment to excellence and connection to our Bearcat legacy make him the ideal leader to guide the next generation of student-athletes.”
Ambro played for the Bearcats from 2013 to 2016 while earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. As an outside hitter, he helped lead the team to multiple CUNYAC titles (2013, 2014, 2015) and NCAA Tournament appearances (2013, 2014, 2015), including a trip to the Final Four in 2013 in Rochester. His accolades include the 2016 Baruch College Helen Belden Sportsmanship Award, Team Captain Honors, 2016 Team MVP, and was named a 2016 CUNYAC First Team All-Star.
His coaching resume includes serving as an assistant coach for the Baruch men’s volleyball team during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, as well as coaching
with the International Volleyball Club, where he continued to develop and mentor young athletes.
“I am happy to be back in the ARC Arena as the new men’s volleyball head coach,” said Ambro. “As a former Bearcat, the culture of the program has always inspired and motivated me and I am excited to help lead the next generation of Bearcats to success on and off the court.”
Baruch Athletics is excited to welcome Coach Ambro back to the court. He was a key contributor to the teams continued success during his tenure as a player — now he aims to do so as the team’s head coach.

Massive, tennis-anchored sports complex in play for Chula Vista Bayfront – San Diego Union-Tribune
A development group that previously explored building a Major League Soccer stadium on the Chula Vista Bayfront is back, albeit absent one partner, with a remastered proposal that is equally ambitious and may be more plausible. The project, named Pangaea, is anchored by a large tennis complex and complemented by a water polo academy, a […]
A development group that previously explored building a Major League Soccer stadium on the Chula Vista Bayfront is back, albeit absent one partner, with a remastered proposal that is equally ambitious and may be more plausible.
The project, named Pangaea, is anchored by a large tennis complex and complemented by a water polo academy, a handful of hotels, a retail village, blue tech office buildings and a public trail, according to the proposal submitted to the Port of San Diego and obtained by the Union-Tribune through a public records request.
The project also features an IMAX theater by Paragon Entertainment and an elevated mini-golf venue co-owned by Tiger Woods called PopStroke, the proposal states. A 50,000-seat soccer stadium is envisioned for a second phase of development.
Pangaea is the brainchild of Virginia Beach-based commercial real estate firm Divaris Group of Companies, its development and planning subsidiary, The McGarey Group, and locally renowned architect Tucker Sadler Architects Inc. The team also includes Provident Resources Group, a nonprofit that specializes in facilitating financing for public-private partnerships.
The team’s superlative-laced proposal describes Pangaea as a world-class destination beyond compare. It is proposed for 124 acres of bayfront property at 990 Bay Blvd., south of the recently opened Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center.
“In combining the finest broad-scale tennis training in North America, including leading-edge wellness, spa and physical therapy, with a spectacular and challenging 36-hole putting experience, the probability of adding professional soccer and entertainment to the campus, the supporting mixed-uses of hotel, retail, food & beverage, entertainment and office are activated in a way no project has been delivered in America. Ever,” the proposal states. “The connectivity to the community culture and bayfront is a marriage of interests long overdue and a bold signal that the district, the community of Chula Vista, and all stakeholders are committed and entrusted to enhance and protect the waterfront for many generations to come.”
The document’s site plan depicts a Latin Quarter-inspired retail center and pedestrian plaza with hotel rooms atop shops at the north end of the project site, south of J Street. The retail street meanders south toward the PopStroke venue, just north of a watershed at L Street that bifurcates the site and empties into San Diego Bay. Opposite the channel are more hotels and the tennis complex, which includes a central tennis venue and 34 surrounding courts of varying size, surfaces and purpose.
The stadium and water polo academy are located beyond the tennis facility. The blue tech office buildings are situated near the project’s southern border, where Naples Street would intersect the site.

Tuesday, the Pangaea project will be considered by the Port of San Diego’s seven-member board in open session. The agency has permitting authority for the land, subject to review and approval by the California Coastal Commission. Port staff are asking the commissioners to authorize a six-month exclusive negotiation period so that the development team can formalize a partnership with an unnamed professional tennis player who will be the face of Pangaea’s tennis complex.
The requested board action comes more than 18 months after the agency first signed a nondisclosure agreement with the development team, public records show. The development team submitted its original proposal in February 2024, one month after the contract was signed. A second proposal with additional information was submitted in February of this year. The most recent submittal includes some financial details that have been redacted.
Port staff and an outside real estate consultant firm have discussed the unsolicited Pangaea proposal continuously since the original submission, the records show. Commissioner Ann Moore, who represents Chula Vista on the board, has been included in some meetings. In April, board members discussed the proposed real estate deal for the 990 Bay Blvd. site in closed session.
“Port staff have been conducting initial due diligence on a mixed-use development proposal for a 124-acre area in the Otay District of the Chula Vista Bayfront. The Board of Port Commissioners will receive a presentation in open session at their July 15 meeting. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the meeting and/or to watch online,” Brianne Page, a spokesperson for the agency, said in an emailed statement. “Staff believe the proposal represents a unique opportunity to potentially partner with an experienced developer on a project that, according to preliminary findings, has strong market demand.”
If the board advances the proposal, the development team will conduct “robust community and stakeholder outreach,” said Tony Gordon, the port’s vice president of real estate.
Staff’s current request for a short-term exclusive negotiating agreement with the development team suggests that the Pangaea proposal has more legs than a similar plan that was in the works in 2023. Divaris and Tucker Sadler previously teamed on a proposal for a soccer and hotel complex that seemingly fizzled because a former partner, Petra Development, did not appear to have ties to the MLS, as it maintained.
However, many of the original proposal’s elements remain intact, including the stadium.
Pangaea’s stakeholders will pursue an MLS team, a USL Championship league team or a Mexican Football Federation team as part of a second development phase, according to the proposal. Alternatively, the stadium could be used for concerts and festivals, the document states.
“The expanse of the stadium encompasses what will be the largest and most technologically advanced stadium in the United States,” the document states. “Designed to exacting specifications, allowing for multi-use of professional soccer, tennis and/or major acts/live entertainment. It will be, without a scintilla of doubt, jealously guarded as the region’s catalyst within the booming South County marketplace, trading heavily on the advantages of its waterfront location, main-line connectivity with local and cross-border commerce, and the ever-emerging local resident population of Chula Vista.”
The project site, referred to as the Otay District within the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan, was the home of the since-demolished South Bay Power Plant. It was once considered as a potential stadium location for the former San Diego Chargers.

The Chula Vista Bayfront’s Otay District is currently entitled for an RV park, industrial business park use and a passive public park, meaning the Pangaea project will, if it continues to move forward, require a Port Master Plan Amendment and review under California’s Environmental Quality Act, which are lengthy, multi-year processes.
The land in question is not currently being advertised by the port for lease or redevelopment. The agency’s board will need to waive its own policy requiring a competitive solicitation process in order to enter into the exclusive negotiating period.
A report prepared by port staff for Tuesday’s meeting states that it would be challenging for the port to attract proposals through a competitive process without first updating land entitlements, which could take years. As such, the agency is justified in waiving board policy related to a competition solicitation, the report states. Other justifications cited include the strength of the development team, a local appetite for tennis courts, the project’s public access features and the prospect of an elite athlete adding brand cachet to the effort.
The Pangaea proposal calls for phase-one development of the tennis center and water polo academy alongside 300,000 square feet of retail space, 700 hotel rooms spread across three properties, a 150,000-square-foot blue tech building and a 2.3-mile public trail. The second phase includes the soccer stadium, another two hotels with 800 rooms, three more 150,000-square-foot office buildings and 9.3 acres of active open space envisioned as community soccer fields.
The Union-Tribune contacted project leaders — McGarey Group CEO Denver McGarey, Divaris Group CEO Gerald Divaris and Tucker Sadler CEO Greg Mueller — for additional information. Janelle Burchfield, a spokesperson for Divaris Group, said the team is not in a position to share details beyond what is included in the staff report.
To date, the port has conducted preliminary due diligence, tapping real estate consultant Jones Lang LaSalle for a market demand study focused on the tennis facility. Staff also reviewed the developer’s background and qualifications, and determined that the team has a track record of financing complex mixed-use projects, the staff report states. The agency has received a financial forecast, or what’s known as a pro forma, Gordon, the real estate executive said. The group’s financing assumptions, which were not disclosed, have not yet been vetted, according to the staff report.
Founded in 1974, Divaris Group of Companies is a commercial real estate brokerage and services firm that manages or leases more than 37 million square feet of office, retail and industrial space across the U.S., according to information provided to the port. The firm, for instance, manages portions of The Town Center of Virginia Beach, a large mixed-use development with residences, hotels, retail and a performing arts theater.
Divaris Group subsidiary The McGarey Group was the retail development consultant on Atlantic Station, a 138-acre mixed-use development in Atlanta. The firm, which has an office in Coronado, also handles leasing for USC Village.
Headquartered in San Diego, Tucker Sadler Architects designed and helped entitle the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park and Portside Pier, projects that are both on port tidelands.
The Pangaea proposal lists a number of additional team members, including hotel management and development firm Highgate as the hospitality provider. Swinerton is listed as the general contractor. The water polo training academy, 6-8 Sports, plans to relocate to the Chula Vista complex, the proposal states. The company was co-founded by Olympians Tony Azevedo and Maggie Steffens.
The six-month exclusive negotiating agreement is atypically short for projects of this magnitude. However, Gordon said the port uses shorter-term contracts to accomplish immediate goals before making a longer-term commitment. In this case, the primary goal is for the developer to formalize the partnership with the elite professional athlete, he said. At the end of the period, staff will return to the board to report on progress and seek further direction.

LSU lands No. 1 college football recruit Lamar Brown in huge get
The No. 1 recruit in the 2026 recruiting class, according to ESPN’s rankings, is off the board. The five-star defensive tackle Lamar Brown is committing to his home state school, LSU. “For the next three or four years, I will be committing to Louisiana State University.” Brown said as he put on the LSU cap […]
LSU beat out its SEC rivals, Texas and Texas A&M, for the 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle. Sources told ESPN that Brown was still between LSU and Texas A&M as late as Wednesday night.
Brown is from Baton Rouge, where the LSU campus is located. He’s now entering his senior season of football at University Lab High School.
Brown is also a multi-sport athlete competing in both discus and shot put events in track and field.
In his primary sport, football, Brown has played on both sides of the ball. This spring, though, he has focused most of his attention on defense.
In his three seasons at the varsity level, Brown recorded 91 tackles and eight sacks.
“I get to play Saturday nights at Death Valley, that’s all,” Brown said when asked about what he’s excited for at LSU. “I’m going to win the National Championship.

Brown is not the only five-star recruit committed to LSU. Tristen Keys and Trenton Henderson also headline Brian Kelly’s 2026 recruiting class.
The recruiting class is ranked seventh in the nation.
Even before Brown steps on campus, LSU is primed and ready to make a deep run in the 2025 season, as they are bringing in a top transfer class heading into next season.

Venmo is making a nod to its roots this school year, with a line of Big 12-branded debit cards and student-athlete endorsements to promote them.
The co-branded cards – we’re creating experiences rooted in the passion and community of college sports so people can feel closer to their schools and get rewarded when they spend their Venmo balance.”
The Big 12 cards will be branded for conference universities Arizona, Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, UCF, Utah, and West Virginia. There will also be a Big 12 Conference card for students and fans of other schools in the Conference.
Branded Venmo Debit Mastercards for schools including Texas Tech, Arizona State University, Baylor and Utah will include access to perks including game-ticket giveaways, events and gameday upgrades.
To promote the cards, Venmo has inked deals with conference athletes NiJaree Canady (Texas Tech softball), Olivia Miles (TCU basketball guard) and Sam Leavitt (Arizona State Quarterback) for the 2025-26 school year. As part of their NIL deals, the athletes will receive payments into their Venmo accounts to showcase how they can use those accounts for more than peer-to-peer payments. “Venmo’s origins are on college campuses. It’s where our network took hold. Today, it still plays an integral role in the way millions of college students, athletes, alumni, and fans engage with each other and move money in their daily lives,” said Geoff Seeley, chief marketing officer of Venmo parent PayPal, in a release. “We’re not just putting logos on.”
