WOTF: Emmanuel Picked To Finish First In Women'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)  competing.

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

Coming in first with 34 points and four first-place votes is last year’s runner-up Emmanuel College. The Saints will look to claim their first title since 2023. Saint Joseph's (Maine) comes in second with the final two first-place votes closely with 32 points while Colby-Sawyer is projected to contend at the third spot with 19 points.

Regis received 18 points with a four-place projection, followed by Lasell (16) and Simmons (7) in that order to fill out the final two spots.
