New Orleans, La. - University of Wisconsin-La Crosse junior
Lauren Jarrett of
La Crosse (Logan) has been named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Outstanding Track Performer of the Meet honors for her efforts at the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Indoor Championships, the organization announced Wednesday.
Each year, the USTFCCCA honors the Outstanding Performers of the Championships at both the NCAA Division III Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Winners are determined using a formula that adds together team points scored, plus meet records (five additional points), Division III seasonal bests (three additional points) and facility records (one point). Relay points, if applicable, are split equally among the four team members.
Lauren Jarrett swept the 60 and 200-meter dash.
Jarrett scored 37 points for the Eagles at this year's national championships as UWL placed third. She won both the 60 and 200 meter dash (20 points), set a meet record in the 60-meter dash of 7.29 in the preliminaries (five points), equaled her season best in the 60-meter dash and set and lowered the season best in the 200-meter (nine points). Jarrett also established three facility records between the 60-meter dash and two rounds of the 200-meter dash (three points).
She became the fourth sprinter in NCAA III history to sweep the 60 and 200-meter dash, including the first since 2018. It was Jarrett's second career title in the 60-meter dash, also winning in 2024. She also set a school record in the 200-meter dash at 23.94, breaking
Emma Lawrence's record of 24.44 set in 2023. She is the only sprinter in UWL history to win the 60 and 200-meter dash. Her time of 23.94 in the 200-meter dash ranks second in NCAA Division III history.
Selected the 2025 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Track Performer of the Meet, Jarrett won the 60 (7.43) and 200 (24.34) meter dash. It marked her second consecutive season earning the award.
UWL opens its outdoor season Friday, March 28 at the Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.) Distance Carnival.
