Wagner's women's track and field team is gearing up for the 2026 NEC Outdoor Championships, concluding a season of growth under new head coach Marvin Azor. With successful performances in previous events like the Rutgers Relays and Penn Relays, the team aims to build on their third-place finish at the NEC Indoor Championships, where they scored 79 points and brought home seven medals. Sophomore Christine Manneh earned accolades for her sprinting success, while several team members look to replicate previous victories in key events this weekend.

By the Numbers
