BOSTON, MA (May 18, 2026) -- For the fifth consecutive season dating back to Spring 2024, UMass Boston senior
Aryianna Garceau (Dalton, Mass.) is returning to the NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championship, following a haul of historic races this season that qualifies her as the top-ranked hurdler heading into La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Garceau is seeking her fourth consecutive National Championship in the hurdles. She has taken the top spot in the 60m at the 2025 and 2026 Indoor National Championships, and again at the 2025 Outdoor National Championships.
Now in her senior season, Garceau seeks another National Championship to etch her name deeper into the UMass Boston and DIII record books. In her 2026 outdoor campaign, she has reached incredible feats inlcuding a new number-two All-Time finish (13.38 [+3.4 m/s]) from the 2026 Texas Relays, which now stands as the UMass Boston program-record. She also broke her own NCAA DIII record in the 100m hurdles (13.54) at the Silfen Invitational, setting a new NCAA DIII Record in 13.40 with a wind-legal finish.
Garceau also went back-to-back in 2025 and 2026 in the Little East Conference, earning LEC Track Athlete of the Year both indoor and outdoor seasons in 2024/25 and 2025/26. This season at the LEC Championships from Eastern Connecticut State University, Garceau earned gold and All-LEC First Team in four events; the 100m, 200m, 100m hurdles, and the long jump.
Garceau will lace up on Friday (May 23) for the 100m hurdle preliminaries from the Veterans Memorial Field Sports Complex in La Crosse, Wisconsin at 5:05 EST. Finals will occur on Saturday (May 24) at 2:50 EST.
A live results link will be available later in the week and will be presented on the main landing page for the day of the meet. A live video broadcast will be available at
