PRINCETON, N.J. – Looking to put up some big performances as it builds towards postseason, the Princeton men's track and field team will split for three meets this weekend. Most of the squad heads up to Boston for the BU Valentine Invitational on Friday and the Crimson Open on Saturday. Another Tiger squad of throws and jumps will travel a bit further to Arkansas for the Razorback Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

The Tigers last competed at the Penn Classic last weekend. Casey Helm gave a highlight performance, setting a new PR and meet record in the shot put as he threw 18.80m / 61-8.25".

Helm and three other Tigers in Joe Licata, Tyler Konopka and Joey Goodenow are ranked third in the nation in the shot put, according to USTFCCCA's event squad rankings.

Collin Boler also won the mile, running 3:59.57. His brother Brian Boler came in third, setting a new PR of 4:00.17 as the pair of twins continue to excel in distance and middle distance events.

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 Licata (SP), Foster (LJ), Clarke (200m) and 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.
