The No. 1 Profs got back to business at the 11th annual Oscar Moore Invitational on Saturday in Glassboro. In their home meet, Rajahn Dixon broke the school record in the 100-meter finals (10.32) and claimed a new No. 1 Division III time.
In addition, Anaias Hughes, Val Augustin, Kwaku Nkrumah, and Jason Agyemang ran a new Division III record for the 4×110 meter shuttle hurdle relay (57.58). The Profs, who recently captured the 2026 NCAA DIII Indoor Championship on March 14, showed no signs of slowing down.
“When I get on that line, I’m locked in,” Dixon said. “The Indoor Championship was very hard to win, so we’ve figured, if we can win that title, that Outdoor would see us thrive.”
Before the meet, the team took time to honor its graduating class. With the standards the graduating class has set, Profs are looking to add more gold to their case. Especially through scrutiny. Nevertheless, they focused on one thing: banding together to prove they belong.
“Any victory will come with scrutiny,” Dixon said. “Everyone on the team is capable of winning or doing very well at nationals. Having the iron sharpening iron around has been really motivating. We want to keep winning, but also do so humbly, and with love.”
Chris Ross earned the No. 2 Division III ranking (7.35 meters) in the long jump, with teammate Damarion Potts hitting a personal record (7.34 meters) for the No. 3 spot. In the high jump, David Brown and Noah Wampole cleared seven feet, which marked a PR and captured the No. 2 Division III mark.
Josh Caudill also hit a new PR in discus (52.68 meters), notching the top mark in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). While the stat sheet filled with PRs and school records, the team was eager to return home to some nice weather for the first time in years.
“We were all fortunate for that kind of weather,” Caudill said. “Whenever I’ve competed, it’s been 40 degrees or rainy. It’s always fun competing on home turf.”
While the hometown atmosphere was warm, the Profs remained cold in their approach. Regardless of scrutiny and regardless of weather, they come to win, and win emphatically.
“I’m going to shatter the hammer record here at Rowan, to where nobody is going to touch it for a while,” Caudill said. “Unfortunately, I did not get to do that, but I PR’d in three of my six shots. That’s always awesome. But it’s not even just me, everybody PR’d.”
