WESTFIELD, Mass. –Westfield State senior track and field athlete Eliza Lee (Walpole, Mass.) wrapped up an outstanding four-year career with the Owls with a 21st-place result in the long jump at the NCAA Division III Women's Outdoor Track and Field national championship meet in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday evening.

Lee jumped 4.99 meters (16"-4.5") on her first jump of the meet but fouled on her next two attempts and was not among the nine athletes to advance to the finals.  

Chloe Hein of Centre (Ky.) College was the eventual national champion with a meet-record mark of 6.43 meters (21'-1.25").

Lee had qualified with a best leap of 5.83 meters during the regular season, which had her 15th on the performance list entering the meet, and would have been good enough to place in the top eight at national if replicated on Thursday.

Lee concludes an outstanding career at Westfield State that included three seasons of cross country and four of indoor and outdoor track and field.    Lee did not compete in cross country this fall in a successful effort to focus her training on earning a trip to the national meet.

She was recently named as one of Westfield State's three Senior Female Athletes of the Year after a year that most recently included winning the long jump, triple jump, and 400-meter hurdles, at the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference championships, and was part of the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, helping lead the Owls to both the indoor and outdoor track and field conference titles.

She was a two-time MASCAC All-Conference selection in cross county, and a part of three conference championship teams.

Lee's result wraps up the 2025-26 athletic seasons for Westfield State Athletics, which concluded with a sixth-straight Smith Cup as the top overall athletics program within the MASCAC.
