Staten Island, NY -- After entering the final day of competition holding a slim edge, Wagner left no doubt, catapulting itself into the conference recordbook and earning its first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) Women’s Indoor Track & Field crown at Ocean Breeze in Staten Island.

Competing just four miles from campus, Wagner tallied a meet record 176 points over the two-day event behind six first-place finishes. The Seahawks finished the competition with a 57.5-point advantage over runner-up Stonehill, who scored 118.5 points. The 176 points shattered the previous high of 162.5 points, set by Monmouth in 2013.

Coming in third was Saint Francis U with 91 points, while NEC newcomer Chicago State and Central Connecticut rounded out the top-five with 89 and 79 team points, respectively.

Wagner's Ruth-Ann Chambers repeated as Most Outstanding Track Performer (Sprints) and earned her first-ever Most Valuable Performer award after dominating a wide range of events. The senior won the 60m hurdles, 60m dash and the 500m run, while also placing fourth in the 200m. Chambers also ran the opening leg of the Seahawks’ gold-medal winning 4x400m relay squad.

Wagner received first-place finishes from freshman Mia Petersen - who was named Most Outstanding Field Performer (Jumps) - in the triple jump (11.69m) and junior Angelina Olah in the 800m (2:18.30). Overall, the Seahawks recorded 14 podium finishes across all events. 

Most Outstanding Track Performer (Distance) Jordan Malloy led the charge for the runner-up Skyhawks. The junior set her second meet record after she crossed the tape in 4:50.86 in the mile run, one day after breaking the longstanding 3000m record. The previous mile standard (4:51.71) was set in 2006 by Quinnipiac’s Kaitlyn Gwyther.

Stonehill shined in the jumps events, collecting four total medals. Sophomore Kayla Oakes won the long jump (5.66m) and Lois Jones (3.65m), Abigail Larsson (3.40m) and Kendall Barton (3.30m) swept the podium in the pole vault.

Saint Francis U featured podium finishes in a host of events to claim third in the team standings. Sarah Coman (2nd, 500m), Emma Fleck (2nd, 800m), Olivia Renk (3rd, 200m), Anna Quakenbush (3rd, 5000m) and Brooke Long (2nd, triple jump) all medaled for the Red Flash.

Most Outstanding Rookie Performer Rachel Whyte impressed in Chicago State’s debut NEC Indoor Championship meet. Earning three medals, the freshman claimed gold in the 400m and 200m dashes, alongside a third-place finish in the 60m race. Sprinter Sanaa Parker added a trio of podium finishes in the 60m (2nd), 400m (3rd) and 200m (2nd). The Cougars also earned the bronze in the 4x400m relay.

Three-time defending champion Central Connecticut’s lone gold medal of day two came from Julia Cancellieri in the 5000m run with a winning time of 17:10.11. She also added a second-place finish in the 3000m on Sunday. Wenesha Stewart won the bronze in the shot put (12.90m) to add to her first-place weight throw finish on Sunday.

FDU sophomore thrower Nilaja Wiltshire ended her strong indoor campaign by placing first in the shot put with a 14.61m toss. The Phillipsburg, NJ native was named the Most Outstanding Field Performer in the throwing events.

All gold medal finishers received All-NEC first team honors, while silver medal winners earned All-Conference second team accolades. The highest finishing rookie in each of event was tabbed to the All-Rookie squad.
