PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men’s track and field team will compete for its 12th all-time Triple Crown at the Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships this weekend in New Haven, Conn. 
 
After winning both the 2024 cross country and 2025 indoor Ivy championship titles, Princeton will seek another outdoor title which would complete the program’s second-consecutive Triple Crown.
 
Outdoor Season in Review
The Tigers have had a strong outdoor season so far, setting new program records in four events, including the 1500, the 10000, the 4×400 relay and the discus. 
 
Most recently, the Tigers hosted the Larry Ellis Invitational at home in Weaver Stadium last weekend. Karl Dietz, Kavon Miller, Joey Gant and Xavier Donaldson ran the record-breaking 4×400 relay, clocking in at 3:04.85 to clear the previous school record of 3:05.86 set in 2011. 
 
For their efforts, the group was named Ivy Athlete of the Week. 
 
Harrison Witt also had a standout weekend at home, setting a new Princeton record in the 1500 with a time of 3:37.22 to break the previous record of 3:37.60 set by Sam Ellis in 2022. 
 
After the regular season, Princeton leads the Ivy League in seven events. Jadon Spain ranks first in the 100 (10.22), Joey Gant leads the 200 (20.88), Myles Hogan leads in the 5000 (13:37.56) and Jackson Shorten leads in the steeplechase (8:40.45).

In the field events, Greg Foster leads the league in the long jump (8.11m/26′ 7.25″), while Casey Helm leads in the discus (63.37m/207-11″) and Joe Licata leads in the shot put (19.24m/63-1.5″).

 

National Notice

Several Tigers currently rank high up on the NCAA Qualifying list. 

 

Foster holds onto third in the long jump, while Helm ranks sixth in the discus. Licata ranks 20th in the shot put.

 

Witt ranks 17th nationally in the 1500.

The Tiger 4×400 squad from Larry Ellis comes in at 30th on the list.

 

Last Time Around

At last year’s Outdoor Heps, the Tigers achieved their 10th all-time Triple Crown at home in Weaver Stadium, winning Ivy Outdoor Heps for the 22nd time after compiling 204.5 points. The Triple Crown was also the first under Head Coach Jason Vigilante. 

 

In the fall, Princeton won its fourth-consecutive cross country Ivy League championship on its home course at Meadows campus. In the Winter, the Tigers followed up their success by winning their 11th-consecutive indoor Ivy League title. 

 

Now, Princeton will look to complete the Triple Crown in New Haven on Saturday and Sunday.
