MIAC announces 2025 Women's Outdoor Track & Field awards

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) announced its annual award recipients for Women's Outdoor Track & Field on Thursday, capping off an outstanding championship meet last weekend.

The top three finishers in each event received All-MIAC honors, while individuals who finished 4-6 received All-Conference Honorable Mention distinction. MIAC track & field coaches also selected individual award recipients for Track Athlete of the Year, Field Athlete of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year.

Gustavus took home three of the four individual honors, with senior Megan Geraets being selected as the Track Athlete of the Year, senior Kelley Brennan receiving Field Athlete of the Year honors for the second straight season, and head coach Aaron Lund picking up Coach of the Year honors for the third time in his career. Macalester first-year Ariella Rogahn-Press was voted the MIAC Rookie of the Year for Women's Outdoor Track & Field.

Geraets (Sr. | Mankato, Minn. | East) received Track Athlete of the Year honors after winning MIAC championships in the 200 and 400 meters. Geraets ran the fastest 400 in NCAA Division III with a time of 53.87, while her winning time in the 200 meters was 24.40. She also won the long jump with a distance of 5.73 meters (18' 09.75"). She joins Erica Stone (1998-99) and Birgen Nelson (2022-23) as Gustavus women's track standouts to receive the conference honor.

Brennan (Sr. | Shakopee, Minn.) earned Field Athlete of the Year honors for the second year in a row after taking top-three placement in three different throwing events at the 2025 MIAC Outdoor Championships. Brennan won the discus with a throw of 42.61 meters (139' 9"), placed second in the shot put at 12.97 meters (42' 6.75"), and ended up third in the hammer throw at 50.70 meters (166' 4"). Brennan is the seventh different Gustie to be named MIAC Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year since 1997 and the third in the last six seasons. She is also the first individual to repeat as MIAC Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year since Carleton's Amelia Campbell won three in a row from 2014-16.

Rogahn-Press (Albuquerque, N.M. | Bosque School) was named MIAC Rookie of the Year after earning runner-up results in both the 200 and 400 meters, as well as honorable mention distinctions in the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays. The first-year sprinter's time of 53.89 in the 400 meters is .02 seconds shy of the top spot in Division III, a spot occupied by MIAC Track Athlete of the Year, Megan Geraets. Rogahn-Press also ran the 200 in 24.62 and helped the Scots to a fourth-place finish in the 4x4 (3:59.23) and a fifth-place result in the 4x1 (48.90). She is Macalester's first MIAC Rookie of the Year recipient in Women's Outdoor Track & Field.

Lund (sixth season) guided the Gusties to their third women's outdoor track & field championship in the last four seasons, and his MIAC coaching colleagues rewarded him with his third Coach of the Year honor in the same timeframe. Gustavus came away with five individual MIAC champions and 14 All-Conference honors at the 2025 Outdoor Championships.

In addition to the top individual award winners, the 2025 All-Conference individuals and relay teams were also announced. Complete results and recaps of the 2025 MIAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships can be found on the championship homepage.
