MOTF: SJC Predicted To Four-Peat In Men's Outdoor Track/Field Pre-Championship Poll

WINTHROP, Mass. – The 2026 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's and Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships will take place on Saturday-Sunday, Apr. 25-26 at Saint Joseph’s (Maine). The meet is scheduled to begin on Saturday at 1 p.m. with representatives from Colby-Sawyer, Emmanuel, Lasell, Regis, Saint Joseph's (Maine), and Simmons (Women’s) will be competing.

In preparation for the two-day championship event, the league's five Men’s Indoor Track & Field head coaches conducted a Pre-Championship Poll last week in order of projected finish.

Coming in first with 24 points and four first-place votes are the three-time reigning champion Saint Joseph’s (Maine). The Monks look to four-peat as they head into this weekend’s event as the pre-championship favorites. 

Emmanuel received 16 points with a second-place projection, followed by a tie at the third spot between Lasell, who received a first-place vote, and last year’s runner-up Regis as they both collected 15 points. Colby-Sawyer rounded out the final spot with five points.

The GNAC Championships will feature 16 scoring events. The event order can be viewed directly here: CHAMPIONSHIPS INFO
