NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Brandeis University track and field team saw a school record and conference title in the men's javelin by sophomore Sam Krause (New Orleans, La. / Isidore Newman) to highlight six All-University Athletic Association performances on Day 2 and eight overall at the 2025 Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The Brandeis women finished in sixth place in the team standings, while the men placed seventh overall.

KRAUSE WINS JAVELIN TITLE

• Krause advanced to the javelin final round with a best throw of 54.14 meters in the prelims. In the second round, he unleashed the winning toss on his fifth overall attempt, reaching 59.04 meters (193 feet, 8 inches).
• The throw was nearly five meters than Krauses' previous collegiate best of 54.69m.
• Krause's throw obliterated the rest of the field by nearly 3.5 meters (12 feet) with a throw that is ranked 31^st in Division III this season.
• Krause is Brandeis's first All-UAA javelin thrower since 2019 and its first champion in the event since Mark Edwards '08 in 2006.
• He broke a school record in the event that had stood since 1988, previously held by Tom Wallace '90. Krause's throw was 0.11 meters further than Wallace's.

WOMEN'S TRIPLE JUMP SUCCESS

• The Brandeis women put two competitors on the podium in the triple jump.
• First-year Sarai Sealy (New York, N.Y./Ursuline Academy) finished second in the event with a distance of 12.46 meters (40 feet, 10 ½ inches), giving her a silver to go with her indoor gold.
• The distance gave her a school record in the event, surpassing Brandeis Hall of Famer Eleena Zhelezov '95's performance from 1994. Her distance is the 21^st-best in NCAA Division III history.
• Junior Shaniece Nugent (Hartford, Conn./Lawrence Academy) was third in the event with a distance of 11.87 meters (38 feet, 11 ¼ inches). Nugent placed second in the event last year.
• Sealy is now ranked third in Division III, while Nugent is tied for 16^th place. The top 22 are selected for the NCAA Championships.
• It was the first time since 2011 that Brandeis had multiple All-UAA competitors in the same event, when Grayce Selig '11 and Marie Lemay '11 were second and third in the 1,500-meters.

MORE ALL-UAA PERFORMERS

• Junior Aiana Colas (Strasbourg, France/Le Gymnase Jean Sturm) placed second in the high jump with a height of 1.58 meters (5 feet, 2 ¼ inches). Colas converted her only attempt on the day at 1.58 to earn second place on fewest attempts, but she was unable to clear 1.63. Brandeis hadn't had a high jump All-UAA performance since Lily Parenteau '13 in 2011.
• Sophomore Michael Laurin (Concord, Mass / Concord-Carlisle Regional) joined Krause as a men's thrower on the podium, placing third in the discus throw with a heave of 41.65 meters (136 feet, 8 inches) on his first toss of the day.
• Laurin's throw was two full meters than his previous career-best of 39.65. Brandeis's last All-Association performance in the discus came in 2019 from Scott Grote '19.
• First-year Peterly Leroy (Malden, Mass./Prospect Hill Academy Charter School) earned All-UAA honors in the 400-meter dash for the second season in a row. She ran a time of 56.37 seconds in the finals, edging a runner from WashU by 0.15 seconds.
• Leroy was the only competitor from a school other than Emory or WashU to reach the finals in either the 200m or 400m dashes. She was the first Judge with All-UAA honors in the 400 since 2008 and Olivia Alford '08.
