NEW ORLEANS – The Johns Hopkins women's indoor track & field team had 11 student-athletes earn All-America honors for the 2026 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field season, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Monday.
 
Emma Kothari, Lianne Saussy, Ani Wedemeyer, Mackenzie Setton, Adriana Catalano, Erika Ezumba, Mia Kotler, Phoebe Williams, Carter Brotherton, Claudia Ouimet and Chloe Zhang earned All-America recognition for their performances at the 2026 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships in Birmingham, Alabama.
 
Athletes from member institutions who finish in the top eight of their respective individual events or relays earn First Team All-America honors, while individuals placing ninth through 16^th and relay teams finishing ninth or 10^th receive Second Team honors.
 
The Blue Jays' distance medley relay team of Wedemeyer, Saussy, Valentini and Setton earned First Team honors after finishing second with a time of 11:36.65. The performance broke the previous school record of 11:40.38 by nearly four seconds. Wedemeyer opened the race with a 3:35.30 split in the 1200 meters, before Saussy ran 56.95 in the 400-meter leg. Valentini then posted a 2:11.73 in the 800 meters to move Hopkins past Wartburg into second place, and Setton sealed the runner-up finish with a 4:52.69 mile split.
 
Ezumba captured her first indoor First Team All-America honor in the weight throw with a runner-up finish. Her throw of 19.90 meters broke her own school record, ranks second nationally this season and stands as the seventh-farthest throw in Division III history. She followed that performance with another record-setting effort in the shot put, posting a personal-best throw of 13.73 meters to finish sixth and earn her second First Team honor of the meet. The mark set a new school record and made Ezumba the first student-athlete in program history to earn All-America honors in the shot put.
 
Williams also earned First Team honors in the weight throw. The senior recorded a personal-best mark of 17.93 meters on the third of her six attempts to place sixth. Entering the meet, Williams had surpassed the 17-meter mark just once in her career, but she exceeded that distance twice during Friday's competition.
 
Catalano earned two All-America honors for her performances in the 3000 and 5000 meters. She secured First Team honors in the 3000 meters with a sixth-place finish in 9:35.16, before placing 16^th in the 5000 meters in 17:17.95 to earn Second Team recognition.
 
Kotler picked up her first career indoor All-America honor in the 5000 meters, finishing eighth with a time of 16:54.78. Brotherton also earned Second Team honors in the event, placing 12^th in 17:03.26.
 
Setton led the way for Hopkins in the mile. The senior earned her second career indoor All-America honor — and second straight — with a fourth-place finish in 4:47.46. Her time ranks as the second-fastest in school history, the fourth-fastest in Division III this season and the 16^th-fastest all-time in Division III. Kothari also earned All-America recognition in the event, finishing 10^th overall with a time of 5:13.88.
