The Northeast 10 Conference has announced the 2026 Outdoor Track and Field Coaches Polls, with the Adelphi men's team ranked third and the women's team in fourth place. Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) has been highlighted as the favorite to dominate both competitions, receiving all 15 first-place votes. Notably, the Adelphi men's team recently achieved a milestone by securing the runner-up position during the indoor season, driven by standout performance from rookie Jabari Holder. The women's team aims to improve upon last season's finish while looking to capitalize on returning podium finishers as they gear up for significant upcoming meets.

By the Numbers
  • SCSU received a total of 64 votes and 8 first-place votes in the women's poll.
  • Adelphi men's team garnered 35 votes, ranking them fourth among the men's teams.
State of Play
  • The Adelphi men's squad is coming off a historic runner-up finish in the indoor season.
  • The females finished fifth indoors and are looking to capitalize on returning medalists for outdoor success.
What's Next

Both Adelphi teams will compete at the All-American Invite on April 4, along with a smaller group attending the Sam Howell Invite at Princeton. These events will serve as crucial opportunities for athletes to capture points and set the stage for the outdoor season.

Bottom Line

The strong performances from the Adelphi team in prior meets position them well for success this outdoor season, but they'll need to rise to the challenge against SCSU's top-ranking status to improve their standings in the conference.
