EUGENE, Ore. — Fifth year Dominique Biron closed out a historic collegiate career at the NCAA Championships Saturday, placing 17th and earning an All-American honorable mention nod at her first-ever Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field.

Biron finished with 5,622 points after coming into the day with 3,311 from the first four events on Friday, June 7. In her first event of day two, Biron hit the sand at 5.87 meters in the long jump to take 13th and add 810 points to her score. In the javelin throw, Biron tossed her final attempt 36.17m to move up to 12th in the event and 16th overall with 4,715 points. Her final event of the day, the 800m, saw her achieve a personal-best of 2:13.96 time and add 907 points to her total. 

That overall mark broke her previous school record of 5,505 points that she set at the CAA Championships in 2023.

The NCAA Championships mark the end of a career that is nothing short of legendary at both Northeastern and in the CAA. Biron is tied with head coach Tramaine Shaw for the most individual CAA gold medals in program history, as both have racked up 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.
