Garceau Repeats as National Champion

On the heels of her NCAA Division III National Championship, Wahconah graduate and UMass-Boston senior Aryianna Garceau was named the Northeast Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association this month.
 
Garceau broke her own Division III record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.25 seconds at the National Championship meet in Birmingham, Ala.
 
She also earned all-America honors with a seventh-place finish in the 200-meter dash at the meet -- the fifth all-America recognition in her stellar colleague career.
 
With this month's win at the NCAA indoors, Garceau has won three national crowns, including the 2025 indoor 60-meter hurdles and the 2025 outdoor 100 hurdles.
 
Garceau and the Beacons open the outdoor season on Saturday at the Flagship Opener at UMass-Amherst.
 
Staying on track, Mount Greylock graduate Jack Catelotti helped the Rensselaer Polytechnic men win the Liberty League Indoor Championship. Catelotti ran a leg on the Engineers' third-place 4-by-400 relay team.
 
Another former Mountie, Wesleyan University first-year student-athlete Katherine Goss, placed 10th in the triple jump with a mark of 10.9 meters at the New England Division III Championships. She opened the outdoor season with a third-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at last weekend's J. Elmer Swanson Spring Classic in Middletown, Conn.
