ELON, N.C. — The Northeastern track & field program earned its first sweep of a CAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship since 2019 Saturday, with the men's team winning by just three points and the women's program cruising to a 17.5-point advantage over the next team.

The Huskies capped off a historic season as a team after winning both 2024 CAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in February. The women's team earned 10 total medals and were led by CAA Most Outstanding Field Performer of the Meet Dominique Biron, who won the long jump and finished second in the heptathlon, earning 22 individual points.

On the men's side, Northeastern pulled in 11 medals and used a strong 5000m run to make a late push for the win. Junior Ben Godish won gold with a 14:39.62 time, graduate student Alexander Korczynski earned silver with a 14:40.40 mark, senior Patrick Mullen took fourth in 14:44.62 and sophomore Patrick Cantlon's 14:47.15 time was good enough for fifth place. That event alone gave NU 27 points after being in second or third place for most of Saturday's action.
