The Holy Family University men's track & field team has been voted to finish second in the 2024-25 East Coast Conference (ECC) Preseason Poll, while the women were fourth, the league offices announced on Monday.
The men, who have won back-to-back championships, received three first-place votes to fall just one point behind preseason favorite Roberts Wesleyan.
The Redhawks, last year's runner-up, earned four top-votes, while third place Georgian Court and fourth place Felician split the remaining two.
On the women's side, defending champion Felician and defending runner-up District of Columbia were preseason co-favorites, despite Felician receiving five first-place votes to UDC's four.
Roberts Wesleyan came in third ahead of Holy Family, who finished fourth at the 2024 championship after back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023.
The Tigers begin their 2024-25 campaign this Friday at Fasttrack Season Opener hosted at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex.
