PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton women's track and field team will head south and split for the Wake Forest Invitational and the Virginia Challenge this weekend.

The middle and distance groups will head to Wake Forest on Friday and Saturday, while the sprints and throws groups will head to Virginia Thursday through Saturday.

Last weekend, the Tigers competed at the Spec Towns Invitational in Athens, Ga. Tessa Mudd broke her own Ivy League record in the pole vault as she cleared 4.41m. A 4x100 squad of Brooke Jackson, Maisha Atkinson, Laila Payne and Franziska Burchett also set a new program record, running 45.16.

At this year's indoor Heps, the Tigers won a historic second-consecutive Ivy League indoor title, marking the program's fifth-straight Ivy title across cross country and track.

The program enters the 2026 outdoor season looking to complete a second-straight Ivy League Triple Crown, so far having won the cross country and indoor Ivy titles this academic year.

At the NCAA Indoor Championships, Alex Kelly and Georgina Scoot both earned First Team All-America honors in the long jump and triple jump, respectively.

Kelly was named the USTFCCCA's Mid-Atlantic Field Athlete of the Year. Associate Head Coach Reuben Jones also earned regional Assistant Coach of the Year.

The Tigers are led by Head Coach Michelle Eisenreich, in her 10th season at the helm. Named the 2026 Indoor Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year, Eisenreich also earned her third-straight Ivy League Coach of the Year award during this indoor season. The 2024-25 Triple Crown was the program's first under her leadership.
