PITMAN, NJ -- #5 Rowan captured three major awards by the New Jersey Athletic Conference in its year-end awards and All-Conference selections in men's outdoor track & field as the Profs had 28 student-athletes earn honors.

Jason Agyemang was named the NJAC Thomas M. Gerrity Most Outstanding Athlete while Jamir Brown was chosen the NJAC Rookie of the Year. Head coach Dustin Dimit and his staff were honored with the Bill Fritz Coaching Staff of the Year by their peers.

All-NJAC honors were determined by finish at the recent NJAC Outdoor Track & Field Championship and major awards were voted on by the league's nine head coaches.

Agyemang swept the hurdles over the weekend, hitting personal bests and NCAA Division III top-10 times in both the 110 and 400 hurdles events. He ran the second-fastest 110 hurdles time in NCAA Division III this season with a time of 13.74 seconds. That ranks as the third-fastest all-time in D3 history. Agyemang, who was a Week 6 NJAC Track Athlete of the Week, clocked in at of 52.69 seconds in the 400 hurdles to rank as the sixth-fastest in D3 this year.

Brown adds to the sweeps, taking home the outdoor Rookie of the Year honor to add to his indoor top rookie honor. The freshman hurdles sensation clocked a 13.60 in the 110 hurdles preliminary, setting a new NCAA D3 record, conference meet record, and Rowan program record. That time was also the best by a freshman among all NCAA divisions this year. He came in under the old NJAC championship meet record of 13.64 that stood for nearly 25 years, set by Glassboro State's Garry Moore in 1981. In addition to his top D3 time in the 110 hurdles, he also currently owns the #11 time in the 400 hurdles.
 
Dimit and his staff are named the Bill Fritz Coaching Staff of the Year for the tenth consecutive season as he guided Rowan to its tenth straight outdoor title. The 2025 Profs garnered 10 event wins, nine second-place finishes, and 10 third-place finishes en route to 313 points, which included four podium sweeps. They guided two major award winners in Most Outstanding Athlete Jason Agyemang and Rookie of the Year Jamir Brown, coaching the duo to top all-time D3 times in the 110 hurdles.
