Congratulations on your national championship Profs!
Congratulations on your national championship Profs!
Dope
Gotta feel bad for the rest of the team because they would've earned a podium spot even without SC. Now their trophies are all tainted and nobody outside of Rowan will remember the team anything besides allowing a cheater to run for them.
I’d be embarrassed to be national champs on that team. I would rather miss podium entirely than have my team win forever be known as this one
Drink your juice, kids!
They sure have a reputation and culture that definitely won’t be forgotten!

There will always be a * next to this win. Which is sad for the athletes that were legit on that team.
Maybe we should start juicing. . .
UWL, the rightful Champion, is [still] a hair follicle test away from the indoor national title….
The “hidden” points from Rowan come from the DQ of Eli Etherton of NWU. That allowed Rowan to move up in the 60m hurdles.
Also A. Matthai running out of gas in the final 200m or so in the 3k only getting 1 point.

I mean, UWL has to protest this right? They basically got a national title -- not that they need more of them -- stolen from them.

Bump, Grant getting hurt before indoor
UWL has a long tradition of high performing national champion teams. If I had to guess, the coaches probably focused all attention and energy solely on UWL athletes and their accomplishments this weekend and didn't let external drama cast a shadow over an incredible team performance. Scoring points in all but 1 track event is pretty amazing.
They know a protest wouldn’t have been win and saying “we should have won” or “would have won if” is definitely not something that I imagine their staff would say.
On the topic of cheating/doping to gain an advantage .. if true, it’s pathetic and screams insecurity, lack of confidence, and narcissistic desire to see their name next to fast times, on record boards, and past champions lists. They’ll always have to live with knowing it wasn’t 100% their hard work and passion that got them to the top. Best thing to do with people like this is to let them become forgotten.
It really sucks that some really talented athletes may rightfully feel they got snubbed from an individual and/or team title, all-america honors, etc but what I hope they all remember is how they came together as a TEAM. They trusted their coaches, put in the work, and did something thousands of athletes around the country may only ever dream of.
You're right to be mad, right to feel salty but in this moment remember the fun moments, team culture and hard work you put in with your incredible coaches and teammates around you. Years from now when that person is alone staring at a painted piece of wood, you’ll be surrounded by amazing people who truly care about YOU and not what place you got or the color of your trophy. Celebrate what you’ve achieved with those who truly care what you’ve done and know that one potential fraud will NEVER break that bond.
Are you joking? They absolutely need more. It’s WIAC 135 and NESCAC 132 for all time NCAA Division III national titles. Today was a big blow for the WIAC on this continued battle in 2025-2026.
WIAC has to pounce when they have the chance. NESCAC gets a lot cheap ones in the smaller sports. WIAC could get passed next school year.

Indeed! Accepting a D1 transfer who couldn’t hack it at Iowa State and was suspended on that team for allegedly taking banned PEDs.
Congrats on a tainted title! It will be remember because of that asterisk for a while.
Who protested the Widener triple jumper? That DQ also gained points for Rowan.
Major corporations hsve former criminals working for them. Should they have to give their profits to their competitors for taking customers from them?
I assume that Lacrosse would have won but it doesn't always work that way. Did Lacrosse tske the biggest hit? Maby Oshkosh did.
The top 3 teams all have 10,000 students. How is fair that most D3 schools hsve 2500?
