Colonia, NJ – Following a three-way tie in the voting among the ECC's six head coaches for Men's Outdoor Track & Field, the trio of senior Vincent Ohenhen, Roberts Wesleyan freshman Thomas McConnelee, and St. Thomas Aquinas graduate student Emmanuel Mena Jimenez have been tabbed the 2025 ECC Outdoor Track and Field Male Tri-Athletes of the Year. The honor for Ohenhen comes on the heels of being named the Most Outstanding Athlete of the Meet following the 2025 ECC Outdoor Track & Field Championship.
Ohenhen opened his senior outdoor season with a 400m PR (50.42) at the Towson Invitational before anchoring CSI's second-place 4x100m relay (42.49) at the Delaware Invitational the following weekend. The CSI senior went on to place second in the 100m (11.06) at the TCNJ Invitational and Multi before anchoring both the 4x100m (42.66) and 4x200m (1:28.58, CSI record) relays at the prestigious Penn Relays to close the regular season.

Ohenhen then dominated the sprint events at the ECC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, winning both the 100m (10.80) and 200m (21.98); his 100m performance ties for the top time in the ECC this spring and ranks 12th in the NCAA East Region while his 200m performance tops the ECC as the only sub-22.00 time in the event this spring and ranks ninth in the NCAA East Region. He also anchored the second-place 4x100m relay (42.16, CSI record) at ECCs, which ranks as the second-best time in the conference and ninth in the region. Ohenhen is named the ECC Outdoor Track and Field Male Tri-Athlete of the Year after being selected the ECC Outdoor Track and Field Championships Male Co-Athlete of the Meet last week.
The CSI Track & Field program continued its ascent up the conference ranks at the ECC Championship earlier this month. The men placed third and the women placed fifth as they collected thirteen medals and broke fourteen program records. The team will hope to continue their steady upward trajectory when they return for the Indoor season later this year.
