The No. 1 women’s and men’s WashU track and field team notched seven top-three finishes against Division I and Division II competition at the 2025 Missouri Bob Teel Invitational on Jan. 25.
The WashU track and field teams kicked off the second half of their season with a strong performance at the John Craft Invitational, hosted by Eastern Illinois University on Jan. 18. Competing against a mix of Division I and II programs, the Bears showcased their depth and talent across track and field events.
In sports that are defined by endurance, the toughest section of a race or competition is often the last turn into the home stretch, with the finish just in sight — the infamous “turn three” in track and field, where races are won and lost. For the WashU men’s and women’s swim teams, their seasons are approaching this strenuous, demanding third turn.
The No. 10 men’s and No. 14 women’s WashU swimming and diving teams fell to Division II No. 6 men’s and No. 17 women’s McKendree University, 105 points to 187 points and 120 points to 167 points, respectively, on Jan. 11.
Senior John Carswell picked up a straight-set victory as Wash. U.’s second singles player, 6-2, 6-4, while the other matches were even more dominant for the Bears.
