PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men's track and field team will begin this semester's competition with a dual against Navy in Annapolis, Md. this Saturday.

Prior to winter break, the Tigers last competed at the Penn Opener on Dec. 5 and 6. Charlie Sexton had a standout performance in the 60m, setting a meet record as he ran 6.75.

Christian Groendyk also set a new meet record in the 3000m, running 8:09.91, while Joe Licata set a new meet record in the shot put, throwing 18.43m / 60-5.75.

The Tigers enter the 2025-26 indoor track season chasing a third-consecutive Ivy League Triple Crown. This Fall, the Tigers continued their streak of success as they won the 2025 cross country championship.

Last year, Princeton completed its 12th all-time and second-consecutive Triple Crown by winning the 2025 Outdoor Heps Championship.

In the indoor season, Princeton dominated, claiming the Ivy title by a margin of 85 points. Across the meet, the Tigers had seven individual Ivy Champions and two relay wins.

Of last year's indoor individual champions, four will return in Joe Licata (SP), Greg Foster (LJ), Jackson Clarke (200m) and Joey Gant (400m).

The entire 4x400 champion squad of Kavon Miller, Jonathan York, Karl Dietz, and Xavier Donaldson also returns, alongside Collin Boler of the 4x800 championship team.

The Tigers are led by Jason Vigilante, in his third year at the helm. Since being named the head coach, Vigilante has led the Tigers to two Triple Crowns. He was named the 2025 Outdoor Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year, and the 2025 Indoor and Outdoor Ivy Coach of the Year.
