The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps baseball team secured a spot in the NCAA Super Regionals by overcoming an early 3-0 deficit against Kean University, ultimately winning the regional title 6-3 on May 17. Alex Henderson sparked the comeback with a two-run homer in the fifth inning, while the bullpen delivered a strong performance, allowing just two hits over 7.1 innings. Earlier in the week, Bryce Didrickson's two home runs, including a go-ahead shot in the eighth inning, helped the Stags defeat Kean 8-6 in their NCAA Tournament opener on May 15.
The CMS men's golf team achieved a remarkable feat by winning the NCAA Division III national championship, marking the program's second title. The Stags shot an impressive -15 in their final round on May 15, coming from behind to secure victory in a playoff against Illinois Wesleyan. Sebi Aliaga played a crucial role, shooting a five-under 67 in the third round to tie for fourth place, while the team was tied for third at the midway point of the championships.
In track and field, both the men's and women's teams are set to compete at the NCAA Division III Championships in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The women's team will send six athletes, including Madeline Seifert, who solidified her NCAA chances with a personal best in the pole vault at the Redlands Final Qualifier. The men's team will be represented by 11 athletes, including a 4x400 relay team that moved up to sixth nationally with a time of 3:10.59 at the same qualifier.
Rowing did not have any specific updates this week, but the focus remains on the upcoming competitions as the teams prepare for their respective championship events.
