Princeton is coming off a dominant showing as it hosted Rider on Tuesday evening for a dual meet.

Layla Giordano highlighted the night with an Ivy League record-breaking performance in the discus, throwing 59.94m for a new NCAA #1 mark.

Showing out on a warm mid-week evening in Princeton, the Tigers picked up six other event wins on the night.

At 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.
