WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Rider University men's and women's track and field teams are set to host the 2022 MAAC Outdoor Championships presented by VisitNJ this weekend, May 7-8, at the Michael P. Brady Track Complex.
 
- Both the Rider men and women were picked to finish second in the MAAC Outdoor Track & Field Preseason Coaches' Poll. Monmouth is the favorite on both the men's and women's sides.

- Teagan Schein-Becker has excelled this season, earning MAAC Track Performer of the Week four times in the outdoor season alone. She's continued to shave time off of her Rider-record 1500 meter time, which now stands at 4:18.32, which placed sixth at the prestigious Penn Relays against a national class field. It's the top time in the MAAC by six seconds. She's also contributed to new Rider records in the 4x800 and 4x1500 relays. Most recently, she ran a 2:04.9 split in the 4x800 at Penn Relays. She also has the top time in the MAAC in the 800 (2:10.06).

- Allie Riches has also excelled for the women's team in the pole vault, posting the top mark in the MAAC (3.88m, Rider Record), well ahead of the next-closest competitor (3.65m). Riches was named MAAC Field Performer of the Week on April 26.

- The Rider men's team is paced by four individual student-athletes with the top times in the MAAC, including Jerome Boyer, whose 48.08 in the 400 is tops in the league. The Broncs also feature the second (Artie Burgess, 48.12) and fifth-best (James Green, 48.78) marks in the event.

- Tamrat Snyder has the top mark in the 800 (1:47.70), more than two seconds ahead of the next-closest mark.
