NEW YORK, N.Y. – Brown sophomore John McNeil captured the Ivy League title in the high jump on Sunday to help lead the Brown men's track and field team to a fourth place team finish with 56 points at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at The Armory.

Altan Mitchell (triple jump) and Sidarth Raman (high jump) both earned Second Team All-Ivy honors for their runner-up performances. Bretram Rogers took third in the 60-meter hurdles, helping the Brown men's track team earn its highest finish at heps since 2018 when they finished third.

On the women's side, Lauren Yeboah-Kodie earned Second Team All-Ivy accolades with her runner-up showing in the triple jump, and Sydney Scott eared a third place finish in the 60 meter dash to land on the podium. As a team, Brown's women finished eighth with 28 points.

Overall at the two-day championship, Brown tallied two individual titles with McNeil and Kegan Schroeter, who won the weight throw on Saturday, along with three runner-up placements, all from Sunday, and four third place finishes. Individual champions in their respective events earn First Team All-Ivy honors while second place finishers are named to the second team.
