WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR
Through three weeks of competition, the Elon track & field program has seen familiar faces dominate, while an influx of new names in key events has allowed the Phoenix's depth to shine so far in 2024.
 
Redshirt senior Kaitlin McGoogan broke the school record in the weight throw earlier this year, while senior Piper Jons has keyed a strong start in the 200 and 400. McGoogan is the top ranked individual in the weight throw in the CAA and Jons is No. 3 in the 200.
 
Freshman Abby Beville won two events a week ago and ranks among the top seven in the CAA in both the mile and the 3,000, while freshman Stavriana Adamou etched her name in the Elon record book in the 60 hurdles.
 
Sophomore Hannah Schonhoff is among the top high jumpers in the conference and senior Hollie Thurgood is a name to remember in the pentathlon.
