NEW ORLEANS - The US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its regional postseason awards for the 2025 outdoor season and Centre was well represented with Field Athlete of the Year Serena McNeilly, Coach of the Year Lisa Owens and Assistant Coach of the Year Edwin Hagans.

Already a multi-time All-American going into this past weekend's NCAA outdoor finals, McNeilly earned two First-Team All-America honors at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships with a runner-up finish in the high jump and an eighth place effort in the triple jump. Earlier in the season, McNeilly scored 28 points in field events at the Southern Athletic Association Championships with victories in both the high jump and triple jump, plus a runner-up finish in the long jump. She currently holds school records in both the high jump and the heptathlon.

In her 28th year as Director of Cross Country and Track & Field at Centre, Owens led the Colonels to the team title at the SAA Championships, winning nine events. Centre, which set nine program records this outdoor season, also finished eighth at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships, earning five First-Team All-American honors on the women's side.

Hagans, in his 12th year as Associate Head Coach at Centre, helped the Colonels to a program-best eighth place finish at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships this past weekend. His athletes combined for 113 of Centre's 242 points in winning the team title at the SAA Championships, setting three conference records and earning 10 All-Conference honors.
