Molly White of the University of Scranton women’s track and field team delivered a standout 2025 season, marked by record-breaking performances, a regional championship, and a strong showing on the national stage.

White’s season peaked at the All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Conference (AARTFC) Outdoor Championships, where she won the heptathlon with 4,721 points – breaking both the Landmark Conference and University of Scranton records.

“Everything just kind of came together,” White said. “I had a solid meet that I was waiting for, and it finally happened.”

That victory earned her a spot in the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Geneva, Ohio. Competing against the nation’s best, she finished 17th overall in the heptathlon, scoring 4,265 points. Her performance included a 26.51 in the 200m, a 1.60-meter-high jump, and a 3:30.25 in the 800 meters.

“It was a very nice experience,” White said of Nationals. “When you have the DIII record holder coming up to you and just asking where you’re from, it’s pretty cool.”

Earlier in the season, White broke her own school record in the pentathlon at the Bomber Invitational, scoring 3,097 points and finishing fifth. That performance set the tone for her outdoor success and showcased her growth as a multi-event athlete.

Reflecting on the season, White shared, “It took a couple of days to kind of get back in the mindset of like, this was a great season. But I knew right off the bat... I’m gonna be really happy and proud of the season we had.”

Looking ahead, White was already focused on her senior year. “The hope is to qualify again and maybe finish a little higher next time,” she said. “Obviously winning a team championship would be amazing... just continual improvement – I think that’s good.”

With her name etched in the record books and valuable national experience behind her, White solidified her role as both a leader and an athlete. As she entered her senior year, she was poised to lead by example, motivating her teammates, and striving to elevate Scranton to even greater success in 2026.
