INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Babson College graduate student Anthony Rodriguez (Prairie View, Ill.) was officially selected to participate in in the NCAA Division III Championships on Friday night. 

Rodriguez, who earned All-America second-team honors last season, will compete in the men's 10,000-meter run for the second year in a row. He placed 12th last season with a time of 31:24.63 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. 

Rodriguez achieved his 2025 qualifying time of 29:43.74, which ranks 14th among the 22 athletes selected, at the Raleigh Relays back on March 27. The time is also just 0.13 seconds off of his school record set back in 2024. 

One of the most decorated athletes in program history, Rodriguez owns five of the top six times in the 10,000 meters and also is the school-record holder in the 5,000 meters. He captured his fourth title in the 10k at the NEWMAC Championships back in late April and is a two-time conference track athlete of the year and seven-time all-conference honoree. 

Additionally, Rodriguez also qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships three times and finished 38th at the 2024 meet to become the first All-American in program history. 

The 2025 NCAA Division III Championships will be held at the SPIRE Academy Outdoor Track & Field Complex in Geneva, Ohio, with the men's 10,000-meter run set for 8:30 p.m. on Thursday.
