Eldridge earns All-MIAA Women’s Outdoor Track & Field honors

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. – Junior London Eldridge from The University of Olivet has been named to the 2024 All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Women's Outdoor Track & Field Team. All-league honors are presented to event winners from the 2024 MIAA Field Day.

At the MIAA Field Day, Eldridge won the the 400-meter hurdles in a school record time of 1 minute and 4.91 seconds. She also finished sixth in the 100-meter hurdles at 15.94 seconds. Eldridge ran in the second-place 4x400-meter relay and fourth-place 4x100-meter relay. Both relays also set school records at 4 minutes and 5.62 seconds for the 4x4 and 50.36 seconds for the 4x1.

Eldridge is only the 11th female student-athlete in school history to earn All-MIAA Outdoor Track & Field honors, including just the second to win a track event at the MIAA Field Day. Cassie Ciaravino captured the 100-meter hurdles at the 2014 MIAA Field Day, and the remaining individual event winners were in the field events.

"London is a leader on the team with everything she does and thrives under pressure," said Olivet head coach Karen Lutzke. "She came to practice determined every day to conquer whatever workouts Coach Gatson throws at her. London worked very hard towards her goal of winning the 400-meter hurdles since last year's MIAA meet."
