Juniata College, led by head coach Kyle Russell and assisted by Ashley Derrick, was named Coaching Staff of the Year, marking the first time the Eagles have earned the honor since joining the Landmark Conference. Juniata posted its best team finish since 2020, placing fifth and scoring 299.5 points, the program’s highest total in nearly a decade (just shy of the 348.5 points from 2014). The team’s success was highlighted by the 800 free relay, which earned honorable mention behind a strong quartet of Eleanor Smith, Dani Cline, Delany Wetzel, and Coltan Swarts.
