Pitman, NJ- Announced on Thursday by the New Jersey Athletic Conference, the Montclair State University outdoor track & field team notched six All-NJAC Honors for their performances at the 2025 NJAC Outdoor Championships this past Saturday and Sunday.
Leading the way for the Red Hawks was
MCKAY ALBY, the team's lone First Team honoree.
JULIA ACEVEDO and the
4x100-meter relay team — consisting of
MICHELLE ITOUA, AISHA GARCIA, MAILE O'NEILL, and Alby — were named to the Second Team. Rounding out the honors,
ABIGAIL CHURCHILL earned Honorable Mention in two events, while
JESSICA HOLLER was also recognized.
Alby secured First Team honors in the 100-meter dash, winning the event with a time of 12.46 seconds. She had previously broken the school record earlier in the season, and did so again in the preliminary round with a time of 12.23 seconds. With her victory, Alby became the third NJAC champion in the 100-meter dash in program history — and the first since 2011.
Acevedo earned Second Team recognition in the triple jump after placing second with a career-best mark of 11.36 meters (37' 3.25"). She became the first Red Hawk to earn Second Team honors in the triple jump and the first to receive All-NJAC recognition in the event since 2010.
The 4x100-meter relay team of Itoua, Garcia, O'Neill, and Alby captured Second Team honors with a silver-medal finish and a time of 49.14 seconds. They are the first Montclair 4x100 team to earn All-NJAC recognition since 2014.
Churchill earned two Honorable Mentions, placing third in both the 1500-meter and 5000-meter runs. She clocked in at 4:44.09 in the 1500 and 18:33.99 in the 5K. Churchill became the first Red Hawk to be honored in the 1500-meter and only the second in program history — joining Kelly Weckstein (2022) — to earn All-NJAC recognition in the 5000-meter.
Holler earned Honorable Mention recognition in the heptathlon after finishing third with a total score of 3,560 points. She is the first Montclair athlete to receive All-NJAC honors in the heptathlon.
Montclair State concluded the NJAC Championships with 84 points, earning a fourth-place team finish — their best result since 2012.
The Red Hawks will continue their season at the
Ramapo Twilight Last Chance Invite in Mahwah, NJ, on
Friday, May 9, with events beginning at
