On May 15, 2023, both the Men’s and Women’s Track and Field teams competed in the Widener Final Qualifier, leading to their qualification for the All-Atlantic Region Outdoor Championships (AAROC). The men’s team made it to day two of the competition, where their seven-month season ended.
Following their placement in the AAROC, Women’s Track and Field placed 22nd out of 59 teams and scored 13 points, before competing in the NCAA DIII Outdoor National Championships. This competition, taking place only a week later from May 25-27, conflicted with the team’s senior class’ ability to attend graduation. Still, they competed in the 200-meter dash preliminaries on the 25th, as well as the 100-meter dash and 100-meter hurdles preliminaries on the 26th. Track athlete Laura Matthews claimed the eighth fastest qualifying time in the 100-meter hurdles, ensuring her advancement to the 100-meter hurdle national championship. On May 27th, the final day of the NCAA DIII Outdoor Track and Field Championship, Matthews took fourth place and earned her fifth career All-America honor.
