Sydney Radigan has been named the Division III Women's Indoor National Track Athlete of the Year by the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association.
The award concludes an impressive string of postseason indoor honors for Radigan (Portland, Ore./St. Stephen's Academy).
Last week, she was named the USTFCCCA Division III Women's Most Outstanding Track Performer of the 2026 NCAA III Indoor Track & Field Championships. Last weekend, she was named the USTFCCCA Division III Great Lakes Region Indoor Women's Track Athlete of the Year.
Radigan put together an incredible 2025-26 season of indoor sprinting for the Calvin women's track and field team.
At the NCAA III Indoor Track and Field Championships March 13 and 14, Radigan captured the national title in the 60 meter dash in a time of 7.52 and finished as the national runner-up in the 200 meters in 23.80. In the Friday prelims, she set school records in both races, clocking in at 7.50 in the 60 meter dash and 23.71 in the 200 meter dash. Her 200 meter time in the prelims was also a new NCAA Division III Indoor Record.
Her finishes helped the Calvin women's track and field team finish sixth in the final team standings, marking the highest indoor national team finish in program history.
At the MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in February, she captured MIAA titles in the 60 meter dash (7.57) and 200 meter dash (23.98), setting new MIAA Indoor records in the process. She helped Calvin capture its second straight MIAA Indoor Track & Field title as the Knights produced a team score of 220 points.
She was also named MIAA Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week once after she captured first place in the 200 meter dash (24.13) along with a third place finish in the 60 meter dash (7.61) at the GVSU Holiday Open on December 6. On February 14, she claimed first place in the 60 meter dash (7.57) at the GVSU Big Meet, competing in a field filled with Division I and Division II athletes.
In addition, she was later named to the All-MIAA Indoor Track and Field First Team for the first time in her collegiate career.
