Johns Hopkins extended its indoor winning streak last season, claiming 11 of the 19 gold medals at the Centennial meet to secure its 14th straight title. The Blue Jays welcome back five All-Americans and 17 All-Region performers, making them the prohibitive favorites to take home the CC trophy once again.
Ten individuals and one relay from four different CC teams (F&M, Johns Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Ursinus) qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships last winter. The Hopkins distance medley relay quartet of Emma Kothari, Lianne Saussy, Annie Huang and Phoebe White recorded the top finish at NCAAs, placing fourth. Saussy and Kothari are back on the JHU roster this season, with Saussy being the lone two-time All-American in the conference this season, having earned the honor in 2024 and 2025 as part of the DMR. JHU's Adriana Catalano (7th in 3000m) and Clarissa Newman (15th in pole vault) also garnered All-America recognition last season. Mackenzie Setton is the other returner with All-America honors, having secured that award in 2024 as part of the JHU DMR team.
JHU's Erika Ezumba is the lone current athlete in the CC to hold a conference record. The senior set the weight throw record of 17.33m on March 7 and also broke the CC championship mark (16.83m) a week prior to that on March 1. Saussy (4x400m relay & DMR), Kothari (DMR) and Catalano (DMR) are also part of CC championship record-holding relay squads.
Five All-Americans and 32 All-Region honorees from eight different teams are back competing in the Centennial this winter.
