Ruffin continues to have a stellar outdoor season as he cleared 2.16m in the high jump at the 2026 IC4A-ECAC Championships. The sophomore took home the gold medal in the event as his mark was .01m off his previous season-best and gives him the top two heights in the conference. His mark is tied for 12th in the country. This is Ruffin’s third NEC Field Athlete of the Week award this season and fifth of his career.
