OUTDOOR CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY
Elon opened its outdoor season last Friday by hosting the Phoenix Invitational and posting several standout performances, highlighted by
Jaqueline Zacharias, who set a new school record in the javelin throw with a mark of 44.93 meters. Zacharias was named CAA Field Athlete of the Week on Monday for the throw, which ranks atop the CAA by over six meters and stands fifth nationally in the early stages of the outdoor season. The Phoenix posted 10 total personal bests throughout the home meet, including a pair by
Isabella Johnson in the hammer (57.45m) and shot put (13.88m) as well as
Katie Blount's 9:44.05 to win the 3000-meter.
CAA INDOOR CHAMPIONS
Elon is coming off a title-winning trip to Boston last month where it won the 2026 CAA Indoor Track & Field Championship, scoring 135 points to outpace reigning champion Hampton (121.5) and third-place North Carolina A&T (93). It was the Phoenix's second CAA indoor title, following its championship in 2023. Juniors
Adriana Clarke and
Abby Beville led the way as individual champions. Clarke broke her own school record in the weight throw with a mark of 20.04 meters, while Beville won the mile in 4:46.96. The meet featured three Elon school records, with
Mya Lee setting a new mark in the 60-meter dash (7.50) and
Jenna Gilman doing the same in the 800 meters (2:08.35). Elon also excelled in distance events, with
Katie Blount finishing runner-up in both the 3,000 and 5,000 meters. Gilman and Beville joined forces with
Julia Bell and
Quinn Smith in the 4x800 relay to post a top-10 all-time school performance of 9:01.19.
ELITE UNDER ELLISTON
Elon Director of Track & Field and Cross Country

A six-time CAA Women's Track & Field Coach of the Year, Elliston and his staff led the Phoenix to the 2025 CAA outdoor title – the program's fourth in the past five seasons – and saw 10 athletes collect All-CAA accolades.
