EUGENE, Ore. – Duke women's track and field closed out the outdoor campaign on a high with four Blue Devils combining for six United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-America honors on the final day of the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Freshman Braelyn Baker (400mH, 4x400m) and junior Lauren Tolbert (800m, 4x400m) led the charge Saturday as they were tapped all-americans in two events each, with graduate student Aliya Garozzo and senior Megan McGinnis notching honors as members of the women's 4x400m.

The Blue Devil women finished the national meet in a tie for 34th place after compiling eight points. Duke concludes a strong outdoor season that featured three school records and 18 top-five program marks.

TOP PERFORMANCES:

Tolbert kicked off the evening for the Blue Devils and earned her third career USTFCCCA All-America First Team accolade thanks to a fierce effort in the women's 800m final. After placing eighth at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Championships, the junior one-upped her efforts from a season ago, using a good start to propel herself to a fifth-place finish via a time of 1:59.88.
The women's 4x400m turned in an outstanding performance in the final en route to posting its highest placing at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and achieving USTFCCCA All-America First Team status. Consisting of Baker, Tolbert, Garozzo and McGinnis, the Blue Devil relay clocked a season-best time of 3:27.40 – the mark good for fifth overall while slotting the group No. 2 all-time in program and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) lore.
Baker also took part in the women's 400m hurdles and closed out a sensational freshman campaign with another steady showing, dashing 56.54 seconds to place ninth and garner another nod to the second team.
