SCSU Women's Indoor Track & Field Sweeps NE10 Weekly Awards

Southern Connecticut women's indoor track & field took home all three Northeast 10 Conference weekly awards for the first week of the 2025-26 season. Patrice Mansfield was named Track Athlete of the Week, Belle Smith was named Field Athlete of the Week, and Lily Quill was named Rookie of the Week.

Patrice Mansfield had a phenomenal weekend at the Yale Season Opener, placing second in the 60m Hurdles with a time of 8.60. That mark was over a tenth of a second better than her previous best, and is the second best time in program history. That time is the best in the NE10 this season, and ranks 10th in all of Division II. It also met the NCAA Division II Provisional Mark. Mansfield also finished fourth in the 200m, recording the third best time in the conference.

Belle Smith picked up right where she left off after dominant indoor and outdoor seasons. She won the Shot Put and placed second in the Weight Throw at the Yale Season Opener, throwing 13.74m and 16.46m respectively. Both marks rank first in the conference, with her Shot Put mark ranking 19th in all of Division II, also meeting the provisional mark. She is the only female thrower to reach a provisional mark this season.

Lily Quill showed out in her first collegiate meet, placing fourth in the Pole Vault at the Yale Season Opener with a mark of 3.50m. That is the highest anyone has cleared in the NE10 so far this season.

The Owls continue the season at home for the Art Kadish Elm City Challenge on Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th.
