LANDOVER, Md. – Gallaudet University senior thrower Midajah Davis (Roanoke, Va.) won the women's shot put event here Friday at the 2025 United East Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Prince George's Sports & Learning Center just outside of the District of Columbia.

Davis won the event on her last throw that traveled 12.17 meters (39 feet, 11.25 inches) to earn 10 team points for Gallaudet, who finished fifth overall in the team standings. It all came down to the last throw as Davis was chasing St. Mary's College sophomore Jillian Zukley, who set the bar on her first throw that traveled 11.91 meters (39 feet, one inch). Davis got close on her fourth throw as it landed at 11.85 meters (38 feet, 10.50 inches) but was still short of first-place. On her fifth toss Davis committed a foul, her second in the event, to set the stage for her sixth and final throw that gave her first place.

This was the second straight year that Davis won the shot put event. Last season, at the same venue, Davis had a top toss of 12.37 meters (40 feet, seven inches).

Gallaudet sophomore sprinter Priscilla Berrios (Miami, Fla.) placed ninth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 32.21 seconds, a new season best. Earlier in the day, Berrios participated in the 60-meter dash preliminaries and finished ninth with a season best time of 9.46 seconds but did not advance to the final.

First year Olivia Armstrong (Rotterdam, N.Y.) set a personal record in the 1-mile run when she crossed the finish line in 6:54.71.

St. Mary's (Md.) College won its first United East conference championship as the Seahawks earned points in 15 of the 16 events to finish the meet with 203 team points. The Seahawks took home the major awards as Rocksann Smith was named Field Athlete of the Year and Rookie of the Year. Mileah Cotton was selected as the Track Athlete of the Year and head coach Reava Potter was picked as Coach of the Year.

Lancaster Bible College (LBC) finished second with 100 team points. Carlow University placed third (91), while Penn State Harrisburg was fourth (49) and Gallaudet was fifth (10). The Bison only had three women participants.
