The Ithaca College women’s track and field team has asserted its dominance in several indoor events this season, with senior Rachel Larson continuing to make her mark on the hurdles. In the past year, the 2025 two-time First Team All-American has cut over a full second in the 200-meter and worked her 60-meter hurdles time down from 8.94 seconds at the Greg Page Relays and Multi Meet to 8.58 at the same competition this year. Larson has improved several of her other times, continuing to compete in many events, including the 100-meter hurdles and the 4x400-meter relay.
Ithaca College introduced its newly built track on the morning of Oct. 25, named “Egan Family Track & Field Complex.” The new track was made possible by donations from the Egan family. The athletics department has chosen not to share the amount donated. The Bombers will now be able to host outdoor track meets, something that has not happened since 2016 at the former track around Butterfield Stadium.

After coming away with their third consecutive second place finish, the Ithaca College women’s track and field team looks to get back to their winning ways. Since head coach Jennifer Potter ’92 took over in 2004 the Bombers have won 16 conference titles and scored as a team at nationals 14 times outdoors.
While the Ithaca College student and faculty body returned home for winter break, many varsity teams remained in action over the break. Basketball, swimming and diving, track and field, men’s wrestling and gymnastics all competed during the academic recess, putting up multiple impressive performances.
