Blue Jays win 13th Straight Centennial Conference Championship

Kadiri Named Track and Field Most Outstanding Athlete

LANCASTER, PA – The Johns Hopkins women's track & field team dominated Day 2 of the Centennial Conference Championships Sunday afternoon, securing the program's 13th consecutive Centennial title. The Blue Jays' final point tally of 310 points is the second-highest in championship history behind only Hopkins' 343 set in the 2021-22 season.
 
Victoria Kadiri was named the Championship's Most Outstanding Track and Field Athlete after winning the long jump, triple jump, 60-meter hurdles and 60-meter sprint and setting a pair of meet records in another historic performance for the senior.
 
Kadiri grabbed her first win of the day in the long jump, clearing 5.63 meters to take the top spot for the third consecutive year. Also earning points were Sara Bartlett, who finished in sixth with a leap of 5.24 meters, and Chloe Zhang, with the freshman's 5.09-meter jump earning her eighth. In the high jump it was Kadiri leading the Blue Jays once again, finishing second with a personal-best height of 1.62 meters, with Abigail Lovelace coming in just behind in third with her own career-best 1.57-meter jump.  
 
The weekend's field events wrapped up with the shot put, where Erika Ezumba completed the weekend sweep with her second first-place finish of the meet. The sophomore launched the weight a personal-best 13.20 meters on her first attempt and could not be caught en route to the win, with Kadiri (3rd – 12.43 meters) and Phoebe Williams (8th – 10.99 meters) also securing points.
 
Hopkins continued its dominance in the distance events, securing six of the top eight spots and 34 of the 39 points in the mile. Harrinee Senthilkumar led the way crossing the line in 5:03.78 to grab the individual title, with Mackenzie Setton and Adriana Catalano's times of 5:06.86 and 5:08.01 rounding out the podium. Callie Jones finished fourth in 5:09.35, with Eleni Alvarez (6th – 5:13.98) and Sarah Conant (7th – 5:14.87) rounding out the Blue Jays' point-getters.
 
In the 400 it was Lianne Saussy finishing fifth with a time of 59:31 followed by Anna Zaeske and Lorna Arcese in seventh and eighth, before Kadiri took over again in the sprints. The senior was the lone Hopkins qualifier in the 60-meter hurdles, but gave the Blue Jays the most points by setting a personal-best time of 8.90 seconds to finish first. Kadiri followed up her third win of the weekend with perhaps her best performance in the 60-meter sprint, setting a conference, meet and personal-best time of 7.65 seconds to take the top spot. The senior was followed closely by Lauren Phillips, who grabbed second with a time of 7.71 seconds, with Zhang (4th – 7.92) and Mirra Klimov (8th – 8.14) also earning points.
 
Annie Huang continued the trend of broken records in the 800, winning the event and setting a meet record and personal-best time after crossing the line in 2:13.06, also putting her in the top-10 nationally. Setton, Emma Kothari and Lily Sheth all finished within a second of eachother to take second, third and fourth respecitively, with Diana Valentini rounding out Hopkins' point-getters with her sixth-place finish.
 
Phillips secured her first title of the day in the 200, finishing in 25.68 before Hopkins took over once again in the 3000, claiming seven of the top eight spots. Sara Stephenson took first followed by Isabelle Nobili, Aisling Callahan, Alvarez, Jones, Anna Warmack to sweep the top six positions before Conant crossed the line in eighth with a time of 10:32.65 to earn the Blue Jays 37 points. The meet concluded with the 4x400 in which Hopkins' team of Phillips, Saussy, Arcese and Zaeske won with a time of 3:58.41.
 
The Blue Jays won their 13th straight conference title handily, finishing the day with 310 points. Dickinson grabbed second with 127 and Swarthmore third with 60.50, while Ursinus (57) and Gettysburg (42) rounded out the top five teams.
 
Hopkins will be back in action Saturday, March 2 to compete in the Tufts Final Qualifier.
