WALTHAM, Mass. – For the second time in her career, Brandeis University first-year track and field student-athlete Sarai Sealy of New York, New York, has been named the University Athletic Association Women’s Field Athlete of the Week, earning the honor for the week ending May 4th.
 
Sealy won the New England Division III Outdoor Track and Field title in the triple jump, posting a distance of 12.73 meters (41 feet, 9 ¼ inches) on her third attempt of the day. The distance set a new meet and facility record at the United States Coast Guard Academy. Sealy also improved upon the school record that she had set a week earlier at the University Athletic Association championships.
 
Sealy improved her spot in the NCAA Division III standings this season to second overall. Sealy, whose jump at UAAs of 12.46 meters is ranked 22nd all-time in Division III, would have improved into the All-Time Top 10, but her performance was wind-aided.  
 
In addition to her triple jump title, Sealy also earned All-New England honors in the 4×100- and 4×400-meter relays. She ran the second leg in the former as the Judges finished in fourth place and the lead leg in the latter, when they finished third.
 
Sealy helped Brandeis finish eighth of 39 squads in the team standings at the New England Division III Championships with 34.5 points.
 
The Judges return to action on Friday, May 9th, at the FIRE Invitational at Williams College.
 
Sealy is a 2024 graduate of Ursuline School.

Eleven non-conference matches against schools from seven different leagues, including a home match against B1G 10 power and 2024 Sweet Sixteen participant Oregon highlight the 2025 Montana State Volleyball schedule, announced head coach Matt Houk on Tuesday afternoon.

Along with Oregon, the Bobcats face two additional schools- South Dakota, Sacramento State- that advanced to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, last fall.

“This year’s schedule will be another tough one,” Houk said. “Schools like Oregon, South Dakota, and Oregon State will provide some good early season tests for us. My hope in the preseason is to always find out where we stand. What are our strengths and weaknesses.”

Montana State hosts two tournaments in non-conference action. The 2025 EVEN Hotel Invite, Aug. 29-31, features MSU, UO, USD and Prairie View A&M. The EVEN Hotel Classic, Sept. 18-20, welcomes Nevada and Santa Clara. The Bobcats will also see action in two road tournaments at Gonzaga, Sept. 4-6, and Oregon State, Sept. 11-13.

“I like that we are home to start and finish the preseason slate before conference kicks off,” Houk said. “The Big Sky should be strong again. I am looking forward to battle each and every night during Big Sky play, and I am excited to see what kind of a run our team can make.”

The Bobcats open Big Sky play at Eastern Washington, Sept. 24 in Cheney. MSU hosts Portland State, Sept. 27, in its league home opener. Big Sky Conference volleyball features 16 regular season matches. The Bobcats face Sacramento State and Idaho once this fall, while playing home/away contests against the other Big Sky schools.

The annual Cat-Griz matches are Oct. 11 in Missoula, and Nov. 7 in Bozeman’s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.

Five Programs With Perfect APR Scores

 The NCAA released the latest Academic Progress Rate report with five Eastern Illinois programs posting multi-year rates of 1,000. Men’s cross country, beach volleyball, women’s cross country, women’s golf and women’s tennis each recorded perfect rates while eight additional programs at EIU surpassed the NCAA overall APR of 984.

The national four-year Academic Progress Rate for Division I student-athletes is 984, the same as the last publicly reported rate from last May.  As a league the Ohio Valley Conference had 31 teams with a perfect 1,000 APR rate.

 

The public announcement of APRs returned last May (2024) after a one-year hiatus. The Division I Board of Directors approved the continual suspension of APR penalties for an additional year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, it supported the public release of the APR data.

It marked the sixth straight reporting cycle that women’s golf has posted a 1,000 and the third straight cycle for the women’s cross country program.  It marked the third time in the last four reporting cycles that men’s cross country posted 1,000.

EIU women’s track & field just missed the perfect score posting a 998.  Women’s basketball, women’s swimming and softball followed with scores of 996.  Men’s soccer was next at 990 followed by men’s tennis at 989 and women’s soccer 986.  Volleyball rounded out the 13 EIU teams at or above the national average of 984 with a score of 984. 

When the NCAA publicly reported data in May of 2020, EIU had six teams with a perfect 1,000 rate.  During the last publicly reported data in May of 2022, EIU had four teams with a perfect 1,000 rate.

 

Each academic year, every Division I sports team across the country calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. For schools that do not offer scholarships, recruited student-athletes are tracked.

 

The minimum APR academic standard for each team is 930. Typically, teams that scored below the benchmark would have to face penalties that encourage an emphasis and prioritization on academics. However, due to the current penalty suspension in place, teams will not be subjected to penalties this year. In 2021, APR data was not released publicly, and penalties were not assessed.
