INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – In next week's NCAA Outdoor Championships, five Lions will represent the TCNJ men's track and field team as announced by the conference on Friday night.
 
Two Lions — Maxim Rychkov and Nate Adams — qualified in two events. Both athletes, along with Noah Traverso and LeBron Rose, were a part of the 4x400 that qualified with their time of 3:11.49 last month.
 
Rychkov also qualified in the 100 with his time of 10:43 at the NJAC Outdoor Championships a couple of weeks ago. His time is 22^nd in DIII this year. Adams' individual qualification came in the 400 hurdles, where his mark of 52.39 at NJACs stands as the 10^th-best in the country.
 
Brandon Chen will represent the distance crew at nationals in the 10K, and this marks his first career national track qualification. His season-best time in the event — 29:51.14 — is 19^th in DIII this season.
 
The 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships will take place from Thursday, May 21 to Saturday, May 23, in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
