The Champions
Erika Ezumba | Shot Put
After claiming her third straight conference title in the weight throw, Ezumba added another championship in the shot put to secure Most Outstanding Performer honors. The senior recorded a 13.96-meter throw — a school record and the 10^th-best mark in the nation this season — becoming the program's 10^th conference champion in the event. Last year's bronze medalist Phoebe Williams earned silver with a 12.42-meter mark, which ranks 95^th nationally and sixth in school history. Ouimet added points with an 11.60-meter throw to finish sixth.
 
Claudia Ouimet | Long Jump
Ouimet delivered Hopkins' 10^th conference championship — and fifth straight — in the long jump with a 5.52-meter leap. Chloe Zhang captured the first of her two silver medals with a 5.50-meter jump, the 60^th-best mark nationally this season and sixth in program history.
 
Mirra Klimov | 60-meter dash
After finishing second a year ago, Klimov returned to the top of the podium, becoming the fifth Hopkins champion in the event with a winning time of 7.78. Zhang secured silver in 7.80, while Ouimet (6^th | 7.92 | PR) and Ellie Lewis (7^th | 7.99) added valuable points.
 
Ani Wedemeyer | 800-meter dash
Wedemeyer led a dominant Hopkins showing in the 800 meters, where the Blue Jays claimed six of the top eight spots.

Mia Kotler | 3000-meter run
Competing in her first Centennial Conference Indoor Championship, Kotler made an immediate impact.

Hopkins swept the podium, with Carter Brotherton taking silver (9:51.81 | 42^nd nationally) and Emma Kothari earning bronze (9:57.74).

4x400-Meter Relay
The 4x400-meter relay team of Gabrielle Moore, Madison Moore, Lianne Saussy and Arcese closed the meet in dominant fashion, winning by four seconds in 3:56.28. The victory marks the program's 12^th conference title in the event — and fifth straight. The time is a meet record and ranks ninth in program history.
 
In total, the Blue Jays recorded 33 top-eight finishes on day two to secure the team championship.
