VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Tess Crossan earned gold in the 800m and added a second in the 4x800m relay on Saturday to help propel the Saint Joseph's women's track and field team to a tie for fifth place at the 2026 Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships.
 
The Hawks tied with Richmond on 73 points; VCU eked out the league title by 2.5 points over Rhode Island, with Dayton finishing third and George Mason fourth.
 
TRACK RESULTS
Crossan outdueled Richmond's Caroline Donohoe by six-hundredths of a second in the 800m, turning in a 2:09.96 for gold.  Karin Dobiasch was close behind in 2:10.39, good for bronze, while Samantha Korck was fourth in 2:11.52.
 
That Hawk trio then teamed with Majken Lutzen to cement Saint Joseph's supremacy at the distance with a nearly nine-second victory in the 4x800m relay, setting a new meet record in 8:48.14.
 
Quinn O'Brien added to the Hawks' medal haul with a third-place finish in the 1000m, coming in at 2:47.90 to match her school-record time; Lutzen was on her heels in fourth in 2:47.99.  Both times were faster than the previous meet record by more than a half-second.
 
Elsewhere, the 4x400m relay placed fourth, with Kendall Cooper, Taylor Rosen, Crystal Benito, and Sammy Walz checking in at 3:49.72; the finish left Saint Joseph's as the only team with top-four finishes in all three relays after Friday's bronze medal in the distance medley relay.
