GENEVA, OH – The Johns Hopkins women’s outdoor track and field team wrapped up the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a strong showing, highlighted by three podium finishes and multiple All-America honors.
Lauren Phillips, Mirra Klimov and Annie Huang led the way for the Blue Jays, each earning a spot on the podium in their respective events.

Neubauer Races To Seventh To Earn All-America Honors

Wabash College’s Will Neubauer earned All-American honors in the 800-meter run at the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday at the Spire Academy Stadium in Geneva, Ohio. The senior crossed the line in 1:51.26 to finish seventh in the final. This is Neubauer’s second All-American accolade this season, as he finished eighth in the 800-meter run at the 2025 Indoor Championships.
Neubauer finished in front of Buena Vista’s Kyle Miller, who had the fastest qualifying time going into the final, and Lynchburg’s Sam Llaneza, who won the 1,500-meter run at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Dickinson’s Trevor Richwine won the race with the lone sub-1:50 mark in 1:49.99.
Going into the championships, Neubauer was seeded 18th in the field and had the slowest personal best out of the advancers to the final. But the senior didn’t let the fast marks of his competition get to him. Neubauer clocked the fifth-fastest time in the preliminary heats, solidifying his spot into Saturday’s final. In a championship environment, the senior executed the controllables and fought all the way to the end.
“Knowing I wasn’t ‘supposed’ to be in the final made it even more special,” said Neubauer. “I was one of the last guys into the meet, and finished seventh. Going into the final, it was really anybody’s race; and it wasn’t a race until the last 150 meters.”
“Will got himself where we wanted him to be early,” said head cross country and associate head track and field coach Tyler McCreary. “The weather impacted the pace as no one really wanted to take on the wind. Will responded extremely well to the shift in the race from what was expected. The composure he showed throughout the weekend was impressive, but also what we’ve come to expect from an elite racer like Will.”
Neubauer is now the second outdoor 800-meter All-American for Wabash in the outdoor 800-meter run. Jake Waterman ’13 who finished sixth in 2011 and won the event in 2012. Neubauer is also the fourth Little Giant in school history to become an All-American both indoors and outdoors.
“This last race encapsulates my development from a time chaser to a championship racer,” said Neubauer. “Being able to have that great race at the right time is important. It can be the difference between making the final and not making it. I finish my career here at Wabash as a better game-time competitor, not worrying about time, but putting in all of the hard work and wisdom my coaches have instilled in me these last four years. The track and field staff at Wabash is truly special, and none of this would be achieved without them.”
“Will leaves Wabash as one of the most decorated runners in our rich history,” said McCreary. “To me, he is responsible for the emergence of our elite mid-distance program when he came here four years ago. We hope his accomplishments help us bring in future 800-meter runners who can aim to match his accomplishments. I hope his composure and competitive nature have a lasting impact on our program. Will is such a special young man and we were all so fortunate to have him help lead the Redpack to a new level that we hope to build on.”

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Purdue Fort Wayne joined a line of schools dropping sports because of budget cuts and the looming era of revenue sharing with athletes, announcing Friday it would discontinue its baseball and softball programs immediately.
The university announced $6 million in budget cuts Thursday, and discontinuing the two sports will save about $1 million.
The Mastadons are members of the Horizon League and Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and will sponsor 14 Division I sports.
“This is one of the saddest days in my 25 years as a Mastodon,” athletic director Kelley Hartley Hutton said. “We know this news will upset our student-athletes, alumni and fans. It was not made lightly, and we are committed to supporting those affected through this transition.”
Harley Hutton said budget challenges across the university, in combination with changes in the NCAA model, led to a re-evaluation of the athletic program.
Stephen F. Austin announced Thursday it would drop bowling, men’s and women’s golf and beach volleyball. Eastern Illinois announced on May 12 it would discontinue men’s and women’s tennis.

Hillsdale’s all-time record holder in the men’s 3,000 meter steeplechase finished his collegiate career on Friday in Pueblo, Colorado, by contesting for the first time the final of the steeplechase at the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Championships.
A three-time national meet qualifier, Johnston used a gutsy effort on Thursday to advance past the preliminary round of the 3,000m steeplechase for the first time in his career. That meant a brutal turnaround of less than 24 hours at altitude to compete a second time in one of the most grueling events in track and field.
Johnston gave it his best attempt despite the challenges, and finished his race 12th in the nation with a final time of 9:39.64. Johnston’s finish means he will receive honorable mention All-American honors for the first time in his career, adding to a list of accomplishments that includes the school record and back-to-back G-MAC titles in the event.
Hillsdale now turns its focus to a big final day at the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Championships on Saturday, with three athletes looking to earn All-American honors competing within an hour of each other. The Chargers open the day with senior Cass Dobrowolski competing in the high jump at 6:45 p.m. ET. Twenty minutes later, junior Ben Haas competes in the shot put at 7:05 p.m. ET, looking to add another All-American honor to the national championship he won in the hammer throw on Thursday. Junior Ross Kuhn wraps things up for the Chargers at 7:45 p.m. ET, competing in the final of the 1,500m run after qualifying through the prelims on Thursday.
