OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD
Stockton’s 2010 outdoor track & field campaign was highlighted by the performances of four All-Americans, marking the first time since 1982 that four different Ospreys earned All-American honors in the same season. Lisa Shepherd ended her career as Stockton’s first female six-time All-American while Rachel Joseph closed her career with her first All-American nod. At the other end of the spectrum, freshmen Demetrius Rooks and Jill Shaner achieved All-American status as rookies for Stockton.
During the season, Shepherd won her fourth consecutive NJAC high jump title and was named the meet’s Outstanding Female Field Athlete. Shaner dominated the javelin with eight consecutive victories, including the Penn Relays, plus the best throw in the nation during the season. Rooks was voted Most Outstanding Male Athlete at the NJAC Championships after winning the 400m and 400 hurdles. Rachel Joseph repeated as the NJAC pole vault champ while Mahogany Mitchell won the hammer throw and Kevin Miller won the discus at the conference meet.
The Stockton women’s team finished second at the NJAC Championships and CTC Championships, and Todd Curll was chosen NJAC Women’s Co-Coach of the Year. The Osprey men’s team placed fourth at the NJAC meet. The Stockton teams showed their depth by breaking school records in 14 events during the season, led by Robyn Evangelist who set three individual marks and ran a leg for three record-setting relay teams. Stockton team members also received 14 NJAC weekly awards during the season, topped by Rooks with five followed by Shepherd and Shaner with four apiece.
 INDOOR TRACK & FIELD
Stockton achieved success both individually and as a team during the 2009-10 indoor track & field season. The Stockton women’s team finished third or higher at three of six meets, including a second-place finish at the season-opening CTC Relays and a third-place spot in the NJAC Championships. The Osprey men’s team finished fifth at the NJAC Championships, equaling a season best that the squad attained in three of its six meets. Nine Stockton team members, six female, three male, qualified for the ECAC Championships, where they competed against the top Division III talent in the northeast region.
Lisa Shepherd once again highlighted the individual performances of the Stockton competitors. Shepherd earned her fifth All-American honor by tying for third place in the high jump at the NCAA Championships. Shepherd also won the high jump at the NJAC Championships for the fourth consecutive year, one of her three victories during the season. Shepherd and Rachel Joseph each were named NJAC Field Athlete of the Week once. Joseph posted one victory in the pole vault.
Mahogany Mitchell also was one of Stockton’s top performers. Mitchell won the weight throw at two meets including the NJAC Championships, where she was voted Co-Outstanding Female Field Athlete. Victoria Barden (high jump), Meredith Malloy (3000m) and Robyn Evangelist (1000m) also posted one event victory apiece for the Stockton women’s team. In men’s competition, Abad Akhtar won the NJAC championship in 5000m and Chris Huch also earned one victory in the high jump for the Ospreys.
