January 13, 2026 | Women's Track and Field
PRINCETON, N.J. – Alexandra Kelly was named Ivy League Athlete of the Week, announced on Tuesday.
The award comes after Kelly set a new program record in the long jump at Navy this weekend, jumping 6.50m/21-4". Her mark crushed the previous Princeton record of 6.29m, set by Georgina Scoot at last year's Navy dual.
The mark is also a current NCAA best and ranks second all-time in Ivy League history, while also marking a Wesley A. Brown Field House record.
It is Kelly's first time earning Ivy Athlete of the Week honors and the first time a Tiger, men's or women's, has earned the award this season.
