Roemer, Jones Named Runners to Watch by Big Ten

Published

on


MINNEAPOLIS – University of Minnesota redshirt junior Izzy Roemer and redshirt sophomore Aidan Jones have been named the cross country team’s Runners to Watch by the Big Ten, the conference office announced on Wednesday. 
 
Roemer, a Chanhassen, Minn. native, returns after a stellar 2024 cross country campaign where she was named All-Midwest Region and put down the 15th-fastest 6K time in school history (20:10.5) at the Big Ten Championships. Roemer’s time at Big Tens went down as the fifth-fastest by a Gopher at the conference meet and also put down the seventh-fastest Midwest Regional time by a Gopher at 20:18.1. Academically last year Roemer was a member of the Academic All-Big Ten team and was named All-Academic by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). In 2024 Roemer also aided Minnesota’s 18th-place team finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships (149th overall, 20:49.2) as well as a team win at the 2024 Roy Griak Invitational (19th, 22:08.7). 
 
Out of Minneapolis, Jones had a strong start to his Gopher career as a redshirt freshman in 2024 and looks to build on that in his third year at the ‘U’. In cross country last season Jones posted lifetime bests in the 5K (16:34.9), 8K (23:38.1) and 10K (30:12.5). Jones came on late last season and excelled at the Big Ten Championships (8K) where he was Minnesota’s second-best finisher in 48th and followed that performance with a 29th-place finish in his first NCAA Midwest Regional (10K), which was first among the Gopher lineup.

With the NCAA cross country season set to kick off on August 29, the Big Ten listed two runners from each member institution as Runners to Watch for the 2025 campaign. The 2025 cross country season will be highlighted by the Big Ten Championships in East Lansing, Mich., along with the NCAA Midwest Regional in Stillwater, Okla. and the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Columbia, Mo.

Records Broken as Women’s Track and Field Display Strong Performances in Season Opener

Published

on


Women’s Track and Field | 12/6/2025 7:16:00 PM

Springfield, Ohio – Sophomore Mira Renaldi, senior Emily Brennan and first-year Stevie Combs all showed out in the first meet of the indoor season, as three records were broken by the trio at the Tiger Opener hosted by Wittenberg University. Renaldi broke the record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.16, just barely edging out the time of 9.17 set by Caliyah Bennett back in 2023. Two records were broken in the same event, as Brennan broke the record in the 300 meter dash with a time of 41.75 in heat one, beating the record of 42.01 which was held by Jill Westerfield since 1998. The record would not last long though, as in heat two Combs would break the record with a time of 41.15 seconds, making Brennan’s short-lived. Sydney Flores was first in shot put, and multiple Big Red delivered top-five performances.

Distance/Sprints

In the 60-meter hurdles, sophomore Mira Renaldi ran a career-best and Denison record 9.16 to earn first place. Her previous best was 9.20. Coming in second-place was senior Sydney Brown with a time of 9.39. The Big Red stuffed the top-10 in the 300-meter dash, as first-year Stevie Combs got second with a time of 41.15 for a school record, and Emily Brennan followed right behind with a time of 41.75 for third-place. Renaldi added on to her impressive day with a sixth-place finish with a mark of 43.65. In the 200-meter dash, Brennan showcased another top-10 finish, this time notching eighth with a time of 26.39. Lulu Visocky-O’Grady placed seventh in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:39.98.

Field Events

Sydney Flores won the shot put with a mark of 12.14, .45 more than the second-place finisher. Gabrielle Turner also competed in the event, as she placed in the top-10 with Turner grabbing 10th with a throw of 10.44m. Mariel Drost earned fifth-place in the weight throw with a mark of 13.38m. In the long jump, first-year Marisa Bianchi placed in the top-five with a jump of 4.96m to start her Big Red career. Sophomore Eno-Yaa Kissi grabbed ninth with a career-best mark of 4.85m. Julia Schena placed eighth in the high jump with a mark of 1.48.

Up Next for the Big Red

The Big Red will take a holiday break, then head out to Muskingum University for Muskie Meet #1 in New Concord, Ohio on Saturday, January 17, 2026.

Pitt volleyball wins hard-fought match against Michigan to advance to NCAA regional semifinal

Published

on


Pitt women’s volleyball coach Dan Fisher would love more preparation between the first and second round of the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament.

All 32 coaches who advanced to the second round felt like that to some degree about the 24-hour or so turnaround they face. The Panthers found ways to stabilize themselves after a hot start from Michigan to win 25-23, 25-23, 25-18 to advance to the regional semifinals for the sixth consecutive season.

“I’ll start by acknowledging how tough Michigan was tonight,” Fisher said. “We tried early in the week to have them look at both Xavier and Michigan and their style of play. It is certainly nice to have a date or two to feel that you’ve had a few times to train against it. But everyone has the same advantage, and they had the same deal against us.”

Pitt right-side hitter Olivia Babcock was happy with how the Panthers adjusted. Babcock finished with a match-high 24 kills.

The Panthers (24-7) will host Minnesota on Thursday.

“I feel like we were struggling to execute what we wanted to do in the beginning of each set,” Babcock said. “I feel like at the end, once we got to those last points, we told each other this is when we need to play our best. I feel like we were able to slow down Michigan and just control our side.”

Michigan didn’t give away many opportunities to the Panthers.

The Wolverines held a 17-13 lead in the first set after a service ace from Allison Jacobs.

Michigan coach Erin Virtue was happy her team wasn’t intimidated by the moment.

“The moment wasn’t too big for this team,” Virtue said. “I think there’s a lot of reasons that you could have or excuses we could have leaned back on. But they were ready. Our team was ready.”

Pitt surged back with a 6-2 run that included two kills from Babcock and one from Marina Pezelj.

The Panthers went ahead for good, 22-21, on a block by Abbey Emch and Babcock on a Jacobs kill attempt.

Pezelj finished second on the team with 12 kills. Pezelj, a freshman outside hitter, has enjoyed her first tournament experience.

“For me, it’s really the first time, so I was kind of stressed a little bit in the beginning,” Pezelj said. “I’m pretty good with this, and I’m just so grateful to be here with this team.”

During the second set, the timing of Michigan’s mistakes hurt them. The Wolverines (22-11) twice committed service errors after cutting the lead to one point, 19-18 and 20-19, respectively.

Cymarah Gordon led Michigan with 11 kills.

Brooke Mosher led Pitt with 34 passists, and Emery Dupes and Babcock tied for a team-high eight digs.

Fisher said he is hoping the Panthers can continue their march.

“We, obviously, have big goals and aspirations as a program,” Fisher said. “But I think the reality of it is that there’s more parity now than ever, and the sport of volleyball is growing and the level gets higher every year. Being one of the last 16 teams left is a good year. We would like to keep winning and make it a great year.”
