NSIC ATHLETES TO WATCH
Sophomore thrower Kim Feller (East Helena, Mont.) and sophomore sprinter Zaria Stapleton (Nassau, Bahamas) were named the preseason athletes to watch by the NSIC.

Feller, the Huskies field athlete to watch, competes in the weight throw and shot put during the indoor season and has personal bests of 11.55m/37-10.75 and 8.97m/29-5.25 respectively.

"Kim has really developed physically over the past year," said third year head coach Gabrielle Brown. "She's stronger, more explosive, and confident in her technique. That growth is showing in every throw, and I think she's ready to turn that progress into big results."

Stapleton, the Huskies track athlete to watch, competes in the 60 meters, the 200 and long jump during indoors and comes into the season with personal bests of 8.05, 27.47 (indoor) and 4.90m/16-1 respectively.

"Last year Zaria was learning what it takes at this level; now she is locked in as she has gained clarity and experience," said Brown. "Zaria has brought a different kind of focus and energy, you can tell she's ready to make some noise in the sprints and jumps."

PRESEASON POLLING
SCSU Track & Field was picked to finish 15^th in the 2025-26 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Indoor Track & Field Preseason Coaches' Poll as announced by the league office on December 4. The Huskies finished 14^th at the 2024-25 NSIC Indoor Track & Field Championships.

"What excites me most about this group is the balance we have, with a talented freshman class that's eager to learn, a sophomore group that's starting to hit their stride and upperclassmen who've really embraced leadership," said third year head coach Gabrielle Brown. "You can feel the energy and unity."
