Going into the NCAA Championships, Mulgrew will be seeded 3rd based on results this season behind Hoosier Zalan Sarkany (14:23.85) and Florida Gator Ahmed Jaouadi (14:25.14). This is extraordinary company for Mulgrew, who before today held a personal best of 14:48.26 from New England’s LSC Senior Champs in 2024; Sarkany and Jaoaudi are both 2025 World Championship finalists, and Jaouadi is a double World Champion.

This marked a fairy tale ending to a breakout meet for Mulgrew. He previously got 2nd in the 500 and broke the Ivy records in the 1000 with an impressive 8:38.01, putting him as the #9 fastest performer in history in that event.

Within the Ivy League, it represents a change of guard. Racing against outgoing Yale senior Noah Millard, the freshman took down Millard’s meet (14:34.72) and conference (14:28.43) records. Today, Millard took runner-up with a 14:41.76, but he’ll get another swing at the event in March. Last year, Millard placed 4th in the event at NCAAs.
