FULL STEAM AHEAD
Elon's outdoor season is fully underway with two meets under the belt, as the Maroon & Gold hosted the Phoenix Invitational on March 13 before partaking in the two-day Bob Davidson Team Challenge at High Point last weekend. Junior
Jaqueline Zacharias has been an early standout for the Phoenix, setting the school record in the javelin throw twice so far this season, most recently with a 45.30m throw on March 20 at the Bob Davidson Team Challenge. Three Phoenix made moves on Elon's Top-10 lists last Saturday, including
Isabella Johnson (No. 4 in shot put, 14.08m), Duna Vinals (No. 8 in 400m, 55.61) and
Amelie Meier (No. 10 in 100m, 12.12).
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.
