This year, Faggs was also named a United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Great Lakes region indoor honoree for the long jump.

Murphy makes her fifth appearance to the outdoor championships. She qualifies for the 800-meter run with her record-breaking time of 2:07.77 at the Harrison Dillard Twilight, hosted by BW. With her time, which currently places her ninth in the country, she broke her own outdoor record (originally set at 2:09.03 in 2023).

Her last outdoor championship appearance, she earned her fourth career All-American honor after placing eighth in the 1500-meter run. At the OAC Outdoor Championships, she was crowned the OAC Champion in the 1500-meter run. Additionally, she earned All-OAC honors in the 800-meter run and 4×400-meter relay after finishing second and third, respectively. Murphy’s phenomenal season led her to being named the Most Outstanding Distance Runner at the OAC Outdoor Championships. Throughout her career, she has racked up 18 All-OAC honors. This season, she was also named a USTFCCCA All-Great Lakes region indoor honoree for the 800-meter run.

Olsen qualifies for his first appearance to the outdoor championships. He qualifies for the hammer throw with his qualifying mark of 58.62 meters at the Midwest Twilight Final Qualifier, hosted by Augustana (Ill.) College. His mark currently places him 19th in the nation. Olsen is the first BW thrower (either gender) in two years to qualify for an appearance at the national meet.

Pfeiffer makes his third appearance to the outdoor championships. He qualifies for the high jump with his qualifying height of 2.10 meters at the OAC Outdoor Championships, where he won the high jump for the third consecutive year. His mark currently ties him for fourth in the country. During the indoor season, Pfeiffer earned his third career All-American honor with his record-breaking high jump of 2.11 meters after placing third at the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships (his third indoor and fifth overall appearance). He broke his own record of 2.10 meters (set in 2024) with his phenomenal jump. This year, Pfeiffer was also named a USTFCCA All-Great Lakes region indoor honoree for the high jump.

Tufts student-athletes are on a roll, as teams and individuals advance in post-season (and in some cases, post-graduation) competition.

Men’s Lacrosse

The top-ranked Jumbos played one of their best games of the season on May 18 in the NCAA Division III men’s lacrosse semifinals, exploding for 26 goals to knock off No. 5 Bowdoin College on Bello Field, and now head to the national title game for the third consecutive season. 

Tufts (21-0) will take on No. 17 Dickinson College (17-5) in the NCAA championship game on May 25 at 7 p.m. at Gillette Stadium, the first time Tufts has played a title game in Foxborough. It is the first meeting of the two teams. 

In the quarterfinals Tufts beat No. 7 Gettysburg College 17-8 on May 17, also on Bello Field. 

Women’s Lacrosse

The women’s lacrosse team narrowly edged No. 7 Salisbury, 8-7, after initially taking an 8-5 lead early in the fourth quarter of the NCAA women’s lacrosse quarterfinals at Bello Field on May 18. 

With the victory, the No. 1 ranked Tufts (20-1) returns to the NCAA Final Four for the third time in program history and the first since 2022. They will take on No. 6 Gettysburg College on May 23 at 7 p.m. at Kerr Stadium on the campus of Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia. 

Tuftsand Gettysburg have played just once before, when the Jumbos defeated the Bullets 16-9 in Gettysburg on May 23, 2022.

Men’s Tennis

The Jumbos picked up a resounding 4-1 win against RPI on May 11 to advance to the NCAA Division III men’s tennis championship quarterfinals in Claremont, California against No. 6 Emory. It is their fourth straight season at the NCAA finals site, and their third straight match against a ranked opponent.

The Jumbos enter the quarterfinal round with a 22-2 record and were ranked No. 3 in the most recent Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll. Both Vuk Vuksanovic and Javier Gonzalez will compete later in May in the NCAA individual championships in singles and doubles.

NCAA Infractions Case

UT Martin’s Statement on NCAA Infractions Case – May 2, 2025
 
On May 2, 2025, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced a negotiated resolution with UT Martin that stems from an infractions case from the spring of 2023 within the university’s women’s soccer and softball programs regarding grants in aid. As UT Martin worked alongside the NCAA to resolve this case, the university and the NCAA also uncovered additional recruiting violations that took place during the 2022-23 academic year in the softball program. 
 
Employees who were primarily responsible for these violations are no longer associated with the university, and UT Martin has implemented new procedures for camps/clinics and in the financial aid space to ensure that future similar violations do not occur. Due to UT Martin’s due diligence and cooperation, the infractions were adjusted to Level II-Mitigated violations.
 
Among UT Martin’s penalties are a $25,000 fine; one year of probation; a reduction of one women’s soccer scholarship for the 25-26 academic year; a two-week ban on softball recruiting activities during the 24-25 academic year; and a one-year show-cause order for Coach Farmer, including a five-game suspension served in February of 2025.

ROCKTON, Ill. (WIFR) – Two athletes on Hononegah’s girls track and field team signed their papers to compete in the sport in college.

Isabella Trout will run cross country at Rockford University and will be on the school’s inaugural track and field team.

Off the track she has a perfect 4.0 gpa. On the track coaches said she runs too much though it shows this is more than a sport to her. They also applauded her dedication to cheering on teammates at meet even when she can’t compete.

“With the injuries it’s definitely sometimes wavered but even through it my teammates have been overly supportive,” said Trout. “It’s amazing that I can still continue to watch them. Even when they are injured, I continue to support them so it’s a lot of support on support being able to come back from these injuries.”

Trout’s teammate Emma Kuo signed to run track at Augustana college in Rock Island. She said she loved how close the team felt and the beauty of the campus. She received other offers but wanted to run at a school the size of Augustana’s.

She said her favorite memory with the Indians track team is hanging out with teammates after meets.

She also comes from a family of runners.

“The day I beat my mom’s personal record was so exciting. We took a lot of pictures together,” said Kuo. “I beat my dad’s mile personal record, he really wasn’t a runner, but he did a timed trial in college.”
