NEW ORLEANS, La. – Jadin O’Brien was named as the Great Lakes Region Field Athlete of the Year for the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field season, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The Pewaukee, Wisconsin native finished as the runner-up in the heptathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships last weekend. She posted a personal-record and program-record score of 6256, which put her as No. 12 on the all-time collegiate scoring chart in the event.
