Lettia Hoda ‘27 (first)

At the Red Hawk Invite at Ripon College, Lettia Hoda won the mile with a time of 5:16.55, a career best and placed her in second place in program history in the event. She finished 8th in the 800m with another career best time, 2:29.18. After the meet, she was ranked 8th in the league for the mile and 11th in the 800m.


Matthew Strada ‘28 (first)

In a meet against Beloit College and St. Norbert, Strada won the 1000-meter freestyle (by 53 seconds) and won the 100-meter individual medley (IM). He helped his team win by 0.03 seconds in the 200-meter freestyle relay. After the meet, Strada is ranked second in the league for his 200-IM time, third in the 1650-freestyle, and fifth in the 400-IM.

Lettia Hoda  ‘27 (second)

The junior runner won her 300m by over 20 seconds with a time of 10:29.97, breaking the school record and ranking her fourth in the Midwest Conference for the event at the 2026 Chicagoland Indoor Championship. She is now at the top of the school record for both the indoor and outdoor 3000m and ranks in the top five for indoor 800m and 5000m.

Logan Kittleson ‘26

At his final home game of the year, the senior forward scored his first hat trick in his collegiate career. His three goals helped the team win 4-3 against MSOE. At the end of the game, Kittleson was leading his team this season with 23 points and 16 assists.

Isabelle Rozenbergas ‘28

The sophomore swimmer won (for the second time) MWC Swimmer of the Year and finished out the Midwest Conference Championship Meet by winning her three individual events, the 200-IM (broke meet record), the 100-butterfly, and the 200-butterfly (broke league record). She swam in three of the winning Lake Forest women’s relay races, anchoring the 800-meter freestyle relay and swimming in the 200-meter freestyle and 400-meter freestyle relays. Her individual event times are fast enough to make her likely to go to the national meet this year.

Matthew Strada ‘28 (second)

Strada won the 400-IM and 1650- meter freestyle at the Midwest Conference Championship Meet. He was also second place in 200-IM and helped his team rank third in the 800-freestyle relay, 400-freestyle relay, 200-medley relay and 400 medley relay. In both medley relays, his individual time places him in the top three in team history, and he is the first male swimmer to win multiple conference events since 2000.

Emma Sharp ‘26

The senior attacker broke her own program record with 16 points against Illinois Wesleyan University. Emma scored 9 goals, which is the second-highest single-game total in team history. And her 7 assists during the game tied for third in program history as well. During the game, she reached 100 career goals and reached 118 assists in her collegiate career, which broke a program record for most assists.

Ollie Francis ‘27

Ollie Francis ran the men’s 800m with a time of 1:56.77, winning him first place at the Midwest Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship Meet. He was also the lead for the men’s 4x400m relay, which beat the previous school record and finished 6th place at the meet.
