Rochester, NY – March 15, 2025 – Springfield College sophomore Katherine DeFosse (Worcester, Mass.)claimed All-America honors for the first time in her career to cap the 2025 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field National Championships on Saturday at Nazareth University.

DeFosse held her seed and finished seventh overall in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.90. The sophomore posted a time of 8.71 just one-tenth of a second off her school record and entry time yesterday and then reached the podium for the first time in her career this afternoon.

Senior Samantha Paul (Albany, N.Y.) capped her final indoor season with a 13th place in the triple jump with a personal best leap of 11.90-meters to take home Second Team All-America accolades.
