Lafayette's track and field team delivered a remarkable performance at the Penn Relays, securing 10 event victories and setting multiple records. Senior Bobby McClosky won the college section of the men's javelin with a throw of 213 feet, 1 inch. Sophomore Kendall Collier established a new school record in the 5000 meters, finishing in 16:47.41, surpassing the previous mark set by Autumn Sands in 2022. The men's 4x800-meter relay team, comprising seniors Titan Casey and Quinn Worrell along with freshmen Hunter Parsons and Tegan Kovacs, also set a school record with a time of 7:34.68, breaking a record that stood since 1996. Additionally, the men's 4x400-meter relay team achieved a No. 7 all-time performance with a time of 3:15.15. At the Covert Classic, freshman Brooklyn Genduso vaulted 12 feet, 3.5 inches to rank second all-time at Lafayette.

In men's golf, Lafayette climbed to second place at the Patriot League Championship after a strong second round, highlighted by even-par performances from Viktor Kofod-Olsen and Reed Theiss. Kofod-Olsen's second-round 70 included six birdies, propelling him to a tie for eighth overall. The Leopards finished the day five strokes behind first-place Army, with one round remaining at the West Point Golf Course. Earlier, the team had finished the first round in sixth place, with Harry Dessel, Travis Robertson, and Liam Brandt all tied for 11th.

The Lafayette lacrosse team concluded its season with a 14-12 loss to Lehigh on senior night at Fisher Stadium. Joshua Heaney led the Leopards with a hat trick, while Cooper Pasko and Charlie Foley each contributed two goals. Despite a strong second quarter that saw Lafayette take a brief lead, the team could not hold off a late surge from the Mountain Hawks. Meanwhile, the women's lacrosse team ended their season on a high note with an 11-8 victory over Lehigh, with Evelyn Guyer leading the way with three goals and two assists. The Leopards secured an early lead and maintained control throughout the match, finishing their season with a solid performance against their rival.

The football team wrapped up its spring season with the Maroon-White Spring Showcase, featuring a mix of drills and live scrimmaging. Head coach John Troxell praised the team's progress, particularly in the quarterback battle between senior Daniel Lipovski and junior Jason Penza. The Leopards will begin their fall season with a conference matchup against Georgetown on August 29.
