The major award selections are nominated and voted on by the league's seven head coaches at the conclusion of the meet.


Track Athlete of the Year: Crystal Robinson (Moravian University)

Field Athlete of the Year: Remi Acord (Susquehanna University)

Rookie of the Year: Olivia Barbacci (Juniata College)

Coaching Staff of the Year: Susquehanna University (Ethan Senecal)

Robinson is just the third Landmark Conference female track and field athlete to earn Women's Track Performer of the Year honors in back-to-back years. Before Robinson's honor, Corrine Glass (Moravian) was named in 2015 and 2016, and Sara Arbogast (Susquehanna) earned the honor in 2019 and 2021. She won the 200-meter and 400-meters dash in 25.37 seconds and 57.06 seconds, respectively, and the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays and placed fifth in the 100-meter dash. The 4x100 time of 47.36 set a new conference record and currently ranks 16th in the country.

Acord, who won the long jump with a conference championship record of 5.98 meters on day one, swept the horizontal jumps with her victory in the triple jump at 11.60 meters. She was also part of the second-place 4x100-meter relay team. Acord is the second straight Field Performer of the Year, joining current teammate Maggie Boyer.

Barbacci had a standout championship for the Eagles. She won the pole vault, eclipsing the 3.25 meters mark to win the event, and in the process, tied the best mark in program history. She additionally set a new personal best in the 400-meter dash with a 1:00.05 to place fifth and earn her second trip to the podium. She was also part of the fourth-place 4x400-meter relay and seventh-place 4x100-meter relay teams. She is the first female track and field athlete from JC since 2011 to garner Rookie of the Year honors.

Senecal and his staff guided the River Hawks to the program's first-ever women's outdoor track and field conference title in school history, ending Moravian's 15-year reign on the women's side. With February's Landmark indoor championship, Susquehanna now holds the distinction of sweeping the indoor and outdoor titles in the same year.
