MANSFIELD, Mass. (3/26/25) – The Franklin Pierce men's track and field team has been projected to finish third, while the women's team was ranked eighth in the 2025 Northeast-10 Outdoor Track & Field Preseason Coaches' Poll, as announced by the league office on Wednesday. The rankings were determined by votes from the conference's head coaches.

The men's team enters the season following a strong 2024 campaign, where they finished as NE10 Outdoor Championship runners-up. Key returners include Stephen Harris, last season's NE10 Track Most Outstanding Performer and Championship MVP, along with Ryan Outerbridge, who is set to compete in his final outdoor season.

On the women's side, Franklin Pierce placed seventh out of 10 teams in last year's outdoor championship. The program gained momentum during the 2025 indoor season, with three athletes earning top finishes at the NE10 Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Both teams will kick off their outdoor season this Saturday at the SNHU Spring Invite.
