Chris Kristofiak joined the Earlham track and field program prior to the 2024-25 season.
The 2025 Indoor season saw records shatter for the track program. Isa Slone broke the women's long jump record in each of the first two meets of the season. Slone earned three HCAC Jumper of the Week titles for her efforts. Prynces Robinson also earned a Jumper of the Week honor, and the pair both placed on the long jump podium in the HCAC Indoor Championship. Robinson also won the conference triple jump with a mark of 10.91 meters.Â
In his first season with the Quakers, Kristofiak helped guide a slew of new program records. In the 2024 Indoor conference championship, Prynces Robinson and Ethan Rose earned All-Conference honors with a second-place finish in the women's triple jump, and a third-place in the men's 800. Cleo Saltz also ran two personal bests to score in the 3,000 meter run, 5,000 meter run and the mile.Â
In the 2025 Outdoor championship meet, five Quakers earned all-conference honors with the women's team scoring a sixth-place finish to beat its preseason prediction. Saltz won the 5,000 meter run, and finished fourth in the 1,500. Rose earned a second-place in the 800 meter run, with Isa Slone scoring second in the long jump. Robinson backed up her indoor performance with a second-place in the triple jump, and third in long jump. Quaker record holder Lex Gibson took second place in the javelin throw.
Two Quakers were named HCAC Athlete of the week for the 2024-25 season.Â
