Catholic University Spring Track 2026 Has Fantastic Susquehanna Multis Meet For Decathletes and Heptathletes
Catholic University track and field athletes competed at the Susquehanna Multis on April 9 and 10. This was a special event for multi-sports athletes like decathletes and heptathletes. Therefore, only a subset of athletes competed. Nevertheless, several personal bests and program records were set.
The future of the decathlon and heptathlon events at Catholic University is strong. There were several star performers at this meet. Worthy of being singled out are Drew Madden, Lauryn Pearson, Pauline Kennedy, and Kate Quashne. Quashne is a sophomore, but Madden, Pearson, and Kennedy are all freshmen. Do you think the future is bright for the Cardinals?
Catholic University At Susquehanna Multis
The Catholic University athletes who competed at the Susquahanna Multi Meet on April 9 and 10 did very well. Madden earned 5,880 points in the decathlon and received the program’s best score. This is the eighth-best score in Landmark Conference history.
On the women’s side, Kennedy scored 3,202 points. That was the fourth-best total in program history and the 10th-best score in the history of the conference. Quashne scored a total of 2,731 points. That was the sixth-best score in school history.
Drew Madden
Madden is just a freshman at Catholic University, but has been tearing it up all year. In many ways, his performance was likely his strongest yet.

Quashne is the elder statesman of the quartet. She is a sophomore at Catholic University. She is from Delaware and went to high school at the Ursuline Academy. As a freshman, she placed 14th in the triple jump with a personal record jump of 9.88 meters at the conference championships.
