What it actually takes to run at Niagara

NCAA Division I · MAAC · NY

Niagara signed 17 athletes for 2025-26 — including 1 international signee. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”

Niagara is a 2,747-student private campus in Niagara University, NY and competes in the MAAC. Nick Gray leads a staff of 2.

“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.

Every verified mark in Niagara's 2025-26 class

7 of the 17 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 10 have no verified mark on record, so they are left out rather than guessed. Not a published standard, not an estimate. Names, hometowns and the coach who recruited each athlete are the member view.
