BOSTON – After sweeping the conference championships for the second time this season, three members of the Northeastern track and field program collected postseason accolades from the CAA on Thursday, with Dominique Biron earning Women's Field Athlete of the Year, Alexander Korczynski earning Men's Track Athlete of the Year and Tramaine Shaw being named both the Men's and Women's Coach of the Year.
 
Biron finished a historic career in June at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, placing 17th in the heptathlon and earning an All-American honorable mention nod in her first-ever appearance at the national meet.
 
Biron is tied with Shaw for the most individual CAA gold medals in program history with seven. She's won CAA Field Athlete of the Year three times, the CAA heptathlon three times and was the only qualifier for the NCAA Championships from the conference this year. Biron owns school records in the heptathlon with 5,505 points, the pentathlon with 4,266 points, the indoor long jump with a 6.14m jump and the outdoor 400m hurdles with a time of 58.55 seconds.

This season alone, Biron won gold at the CAA Championships in the indoor pentathlon, took silver in the indoor long jump, won gold in the outdoor long jump and took silver in the outdoor heptathlon. She became Northeastern's first NCAA Championships qualifier since 2007 after her heptathlon score from the UConn Northeast Challenge ranked 17th in the country this year.
 
Korczynski recently concluded one of the most impressive careers in program history, and will compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the steeplechase on Friday (7:49 p.m. ET on USA). He became the first Husky since 2018 to earn First Team All-American status at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships earlier this month with a new school and personal record of 8:29.42 to get into the Olympic Trials.
 
The Willimantic, Conn. native began running for the Huskies in 2018 as a freshman and has battled through the year lost to COVID-19 as well as an injury during the 2022-2023 track seasons. Since his freshman year, Korczynski has won four CAA gold medals in the steeplechase, two CAA individual cross country titles, qualified for three NCAA Outdoor Championships and broke a 47-year-old school record in the steeplechase. 
 
Shaw and her staff led the Huskies to both the men's and women's indoor and outdoor titles during the 2023-24 campaign. Now in her sixth season at the helm, Northeastern has captured a combined nine CAA crowns, while 10 student-athletes advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships First Round this spring.
