Terriers Earn Six Medals on Day One of Patriot League Outdoor Championships

May 15, 2026 | Women's Track & Field

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Boston University track & field team wrapped up day one of the 2026 Patriot League Outdoor Championships at Ingram Field on Saturday, earning six medals overall.

The women's team is in second place with 55 points, trailing leaders Army West Point (56 points) by a single point and leading Navy (41). The men's program currently sits in sixth place with 18 points after day one, with Navy in the lead with 93 points.

GOLDEN TERRIERS

The first gold medal of the weekend went to senior Ellie Roan, who threw her hammer 62.35m to win the event. That was her best throw ever at the Patriot League Outdoor Championships. It marked her third straight year winning gold in the hammer throw, and she is one of just two athletes to ever accomplish the feat.
Senior Peace Omonzane delivered a 6.32m jump on her first attempt in the long jump to win gold for the second straight year. She also set a facility record at Ingram Field with the jump.

Junior Adrienne Buettner-Cable kicked off the Terrier medals with a silver in the 10000m, running a time of 34:34.79.
Sophomore Luke Riordan hit 58.70m in the hammer throw, finishing with bronze.
Following Omonzane was senior Jada Smith, who—along with qualifying for finals in the 100m and 200m—finished with silver with a 6.06m jump in the long jump.
In the women's 4x800m relay, the crew of seniors Olivia Duca, Lily Borin and Olivia Dodds and freshman Samantha Lascelles clocked an 8:46.57 time to take silver.
