Kirkland Named NESCAC Field Athlete of the Week

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Sophomore Kennedy Kirkland opened the outdoor season with NESCAC Field Athlete of the Week honors following a record-breaking weekend at Wesleyan.

In the season-opening outdoor meet at Wesleyan's Swanson Invitational, Kirkland won the long jump. The sophomore posted the winning mark of 6.28 meters (20' 7.25") on her first attempt to break the school record she set last season. The jump ranks third all-time in NCAA Division III history and first for the 2025 season. The mark also puts Kirkland third in the country, regardless of division.

The Polar Bears are back in action on March 29 at UMass Lowell.
