Third Consecutive Season With At Least Eight Violets Honored

Twelve members of the New York University men's and women's track and field squads were named to the Niagara All-Region Teams by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). 

Jeffrey Chen (10k), Jon Diaz (800m), Evan Sherman (10k), Andrew Taylor (5k), Ryan Tobin (1500m, 5k), Katherine Cochran (5k), Janie Cooper (5k), Gianna Dawson (800m), Josephine Dziedzic (5000m), Lucy Gott (10k), Olivia Jackson (3k steeplechase), and Grace Rowley (10k) all represented the Violets on the respective All-Region teams. 

Rowley (35:37.25) and Gott (35:29.75) produced two of the five fastest times in the Niagara Region this season, sitting at third and fifth, respectively. 

Cooper (16:35.47), Cochran (16:38.31) and Dziedzic (16:47.35) recorded the second-, third- and fourth-best 5,000m times in the region, respectively. Cooper went on to finish seventh in the event at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. 

Jackson's 11:02.56 time in the 3,000m steeplechase at the 2025 Widener Final Qualifier was the fourth-best in the region this season.

Dawson owns the fifth-best time in the region (2:13.11) for the 800m event. 

Sherman (29:39.72) and Chen (29:40.21) notched the best two times in the region, respectively, in the 10,000m run. 

Tobin's 14:01.51 time in the 5000m was the best in the region by nearly three seconds. Taylor (14:25.96) ran the fifth-best time in the event. 

Tobin also holds the region's best time in the 1500m run at 3:46.38.
