MEDFORD, MA (May 21, 2025) – The Tufts University women’s track and field team will be represented by six talented competitors in eight events as they head out to Geneva, Ohio for the 2025 NCAA Division III Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships beginning Thursday, May 22.

A Look at the Jumbos:

Elysse Cumberland has already been crowned an Indoor National Champion, and will look to add a pair of trophies to her growing collection as she contends for national glory in both the triple jump and long jump. Her first event on the schedule will be the long jump, which saw her improve significantly over the course of the outdoor season. Setting a personal best mark of 6.04m at the Tufts Sunshine Classic, the first year jumper enters the NCAA Championships as the number five seed. The top seeded jumper, Kennedy Kirkland of Bowdoin, leads the field with a mark of 6.28m.

Cumberland will also compete in the triple jump after her indoor season ended with a National Championship in the same event. Her personal best somehow improved to 12.66m to smash the Tufts program record and earn her the number three seed in the national field of competitors. The number one seeded jumper, Ebunoluwa Opata of Washington University will look to flip the results of the indoor competition, as Cumberland barely topped her by a single centimeter to claim the 2025 Indoor Triple Jump Championship Title. Opata holds the number one seed with a mark of 12.82m.

Senior Jordan Andrew will compete alongside Cumberland in the same two events, after a stellar season of her own. Andrew tied her personal best in the long jump with a mark of 5.80m, earning her the 21 seed in the event. Andrew also succeeded in the triple jump, setting a new personal best with a 12.29m to earn her the five seed. The triple jump will be a stacked event for Tufts, with both Andrew and Cumberland seeded within the top five.

Later on Thursday, first year Arielle Chechile will take on the national field of competitors in the 400m hurdles. She earned the qualification in the final meet of the season, breaking her own personal record at the MIT Final Qualifier with an incredible time of 1:00.64. The third fastest time in Tufts program history, the first year earned herself the number five seed in the preliminary round of the event taking place on Thursday at 6:25. The 400m hurdles finals will take place on Saturday at 3:25 pm.

Sophomore Jackie Wells also earned a Championship meet berth at the MIT Final Qualifier. The sophomore powered herself to a school record-breaking toss in the javelin with a mark of 42.41m. It was an impressive improvement of over a meter, and earned her the number 11 seed in the event taking place on Thursday at 3:30 pm.

Friday will feature a pair of Jumbos in action, with senior Harper Meek leading off her team with the high jump at 11:30 am. Meek earned an NCAA meet berth following a season defined by consistency. The veteran competitor surpassed 1.60m in all but one of her appearances this season, and was just a centimeter shy of her personal best at the New England D3 Championships. Despite missing out on a personal record by an agonizing margin, Meek enters the NCAA Division III Championships as the number 22 seed. 

Finishing off the list of competing Jumbos is first year Makayla Moriarty. Competing in the 400m dash on Friday at 3:15 pm, the rookie runner has been a revelation for Tufts this season. The last three weekends of action has seen her set new personal records in the 100m, 200m and 400m events. Her NCAA entry into the 400m comes after a 55.21 to break the Tufts program record at the NEICAAA Championships. Her efforts on the track picked up the 18 seed in the event.

A Look at the Jumbos:

The first scheduled competitor for Tufts will be Sahr Matturi in the long jump at 2:30 pm on Thursday, May 22. The junior enters the competition as the number 12 seed, and will compete in the number three position in flight one of the event. His season was dotted with several improvements to his personal record, topping out at 7.34m. His new personal record earned him the second longest jump in Tufts program history, and has him in great shape as he enters the national competition. The top seeded jumper, Joshua Rivers of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, enters the competition with an 8.04m mark to lead the field.

Once Matturi is finished competing, Josh Wilkie will take over in the 400m hurdles at 6:10 pm. Competing as the number 10 seed, the junior is the highest seeded Jumbo competing in the national meet. His personal best time of 52.35 is the fourth fastest finish to the event in Tufts program history. Wilkie has shown consistent improvement throughout the season, and is in a great position to make the 400m hurdle finals on Saturday at 3:15 pm. The top seeded runner in the event, Ben Bulger of Susquehanna, holds a time of 51.47 to lead the field.

Rounding out the list and concluding the first day of action for Tufts at the NCAA Division III Championships is Amokrane Aouchiche in the 10,000m run at 8:30 pm. His personal best time of 29:55.43 was the second fastest time in Tufts program history, and earned him the number 21 seed. Aouchiche has been electrifying in the distance events this season, also setting a new personal best in the 5000m run this spring. The top seeded runner, Grant Matthai of Wisconsin La Crosse, enters the competition with a field-leading time of 28:53.93.
