Season Preview
The Bulldogs enter the season under the direction of head coach Pamela Crockett, now in her second year leading the program. She returns a strong group of student-athletes from last year's squad, led by junior thrower Jaeden Warner and senior thrower Jazmyne McGirt. On the track, junior sprinter Ashley Ayukegba and senior sprinter Nathan Jacobs look to set the tone this season.

Crockett also boasts an impressive recruiting class, bringing in 25 freshmen eager to make their mark at the collegiate level. Two newcomers to watch are Khory Reevey, a freshman hurdler from Bel Air, Md., and Kesare Bakare of Gaithersburg, Md., who specializes in sprints and hurdles.

Fastrack Season Opener
The meet, held annually, attracts college programs from across the Northeast for a full slate of sprint, distance, and field events, offering athletes an early chance to establish benchmarks and shake off offseason rust. With one of the nation's top indoor facilities as the backdrop, teams use the opener to evaluate lineups, build momentum, and set the tone for the winter campaign as the competitive December schedule begins.

Up Next
The Bulldogs will break for the holidays before returning to action in the new year at the VCU Rams Invitational on Friday, Jan. 9, in Virginia Beach, Va.
