Landmark Trio Shines on Final Day of NCAA Outdoor Championships

Oaster Wins 800 Meter Run Title

GENEVA, Ohio - Three of the Landmark Conference’s best delivered All-American performances on the final day of the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships, headlined by a national title in the women’s 800 and a pair of top-seven finishes in the 800 and 1,500.

Elizabethtown College's Kelty Oaster captured her second straight national title in the 800-meter run, clocking a personal best and meet-record 2:05.09 to edge out Rochester’s Megan Bell by just 0.02 seconds. Oaster, seeded sixth coming into the weekend, used a strong move over the final 400 meters to surge from the back of the pack and overtake Bell at the line.

The time not only marked a school and Landmark Conference record but also stands as the fifth-fastest 800 in NCAA Division III championship history. Oaster becomes the first multi-time female individual national champion in Elizabethtown history and just the second across all sports, joining wrestling national champion Eric Mast.

Tanise Thornton-Fillyaw of Goucher College delivered another gutsy effort to finish third in the 800 and earn her second career All-America honor. The junior entered the meet as the top seed after winning her prelim section in 2:09.23 and ran a strong 2:08.43 in the final, staying in contention from start to finish.

Catholic University senior Emily Moehringer continued to make program history, earning First Team All-America honors in the 1,500 with a seventh-place finish in 4:30.67. It was Moehringer’s fifth career All-America award, the most by any athlete in Catholic track & field history. She went out fast, sitting third through 700 meters, and held on to finish in the top eight for the first time in her career at the national level.

Moehringer joins Carolyn Hughes and Andrea Galeano as one of only three Cardinal women to place top-10 nationally in an individual track event—and just the second to do so at the outdoor championships.
