The 2026 Centennial Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships are set for Saturday, Feb. 28 and Sunday, March 1 at Schnader Fieldhouse on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College. The two-day event will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and continue through Sunday afternoon with 19 events to be held for both the men and women.
On the women's side, Johns Hopkins carries a 14-year title winning streak and enters the championship ranked third in the nation and first in the Mid-Atlantic Region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Haverford (5th) and Ursinus (6th) are back-to-back in the Metro Region rankings, while F&M is sixth in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The last team other than JHU to claim the Centennial women's indoor championship was Haverford in 2010. In the 31-year history of the event, Hopkins (14) holds the most team titles, followed by Dickinson (7), Haverford (6), Swarthmore (2) and Gettysburg (2).
On the men's side, Hopkins owns a 12-year title streak and is ranked 10th nationally and tops in the Mid-Atlantic. Dickinson is 17th nationally and fifth in the Mid-Atlantic, while Haverford (3rd) and Ursinus (6th) are ranked among the top-10 in the Metro Region. The last team other than Hopkins to hoist the Centennial men's indoor trophy was Haverford in 2012. In the 31-year history of the Centennial event, Haverford owns the most team titles with 17, followed by Hopkins (12), Dickinson (1) and Franklin & Marshall (1).
Four men's conference records were set during the regular season in events to be contested this weekend. On the men's side, Dickinson's Franklyn Akabi-During established new CC marks in the 60-meter dash (6.75) and 200 meters (21.44) at the same meet on February 13. The Red Devil sophomore is the defending champion in both events and is the reigning Track Most Outstanding Performer of the Meet. He will face a stiff test in both events from JHU's Alex Collettii, who posted the second-best times in conference history in both of those events this year. Ursinus' Aiden Tobin is also a defending champion in both events, as he took gold in both at the 2024 championship.
Muhlenberg's Chris Short set a new conference record in the 400 meters at 47.99 on February 13, while JHU's Emmanuel Leblond broke the CC 5000 meter record on December 6. Leblond was the 2024 champion in the 5000 but will not compete in that event this weekend. He is slated to compete in the 3000 meters, a race he also won in 2024.
Three women's conference records have been reset this winter by a trio of Hopkins athletes. Mirra Klimov broke the 60-meter dash record (7.64) on December 6, Adriana Catalano set the 5000 record (16:34.90) on December 6, and Erika Ezumba reset the weight throw mark (19.17m) multiple times throughout the year, most recently on January 23. Catalano is scheduled to compete in the 3000 meters but not the 5000 meters.
Eight returning men's champions and seven returning women's champions will vie for more golds this weekend. In addition to Akabi-During, Tobin and Leblond on the men's side, Dickinson's Trevor Richwine is seeking a three-peat in the 800, where he is currently ranked third in the nation and has the second-best mark in CC history at 1:50.30. Other returning champions include Gettysburg's Tyler Trout in the 60 hurdles, Ursinus' Mitchell Davis in the pole vault and JHU's Oluwademilade Adeniran in the triple jump and Sebastian Tangelson in the heptathlon.
Women's returning champions include F&M's Lauren Dunnigan in the 60-meter dash and 60 hurdles, JHU's Ezumba (shot put in 2024), Haverford's Olivia D'Aulerio (400m in 2024) and Anastasia Jaycobs (800m), Muhlenberg's Maya Richwine (200m) and Avery McNulty (high jump in 2024), and Swarthmore's Tate Garcia (shot put). Dunnigan was named the Most Outstanding Track Performer of the Meet last season.
