Princeton PG Xaivian Lee transferring to champion Florida
Princeton standout point guard Xaivian Lee announced Wednesday on social media that he is transferring to national champion Florida. Twice an All-Ivy League first-team selection, he made visits to the Gators' campus as well as to Kansas and St. John's. Lee, who has one year of eligibility remaining, was regarded as one of the top point guards in the transfer portal. Lee, who explored entering the NBA draft last year before returning to Princeton, will re-enter the draft process ahead of his move to Florida, his agent, George S. Langberg, told the Trentonian (N.J.) newspaper. A native of Toronto, the 6-foot-4 Lee would be a replacement for Florida's All-America guard Walter Clayton Jr., who has exhausted his eligibility and is heading to the NBA draft. Clayton followed a similar path, playing at a Northeast mid-major (Iona) before transferring to Florida. Lee averaged 16.9 points last season with career bests with 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in 30 contests (all starts). In 91 career games (59 starts) for the Tigers, Lee averaged 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists. For his career, he has shot 43.5 percent from the field, including 33.4 percent from 3-point range, and 79.6 percent from the foul line. Lee was All-Ivy League first team in 2023-24 and 2024-25. He became the first player in Princeton history to record a triple-double when he logged 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in a 77-69 win at Saint Joseph's on Dec. 3, 2024. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved

The most impressive finisher from Saturday's Boston 5K? Reilly Kiernan broke 20 minutes — while eight months pregnant.
Kiernan, a Jamaica Plain resident who runs for the Tracksmith Boston Hares racing team, isn't quite your average 5K fun-run competitor. She was an All-Ivy League runner at Princeton and continued running competitively after college, qualifying for the US Olympic Marathon Trials in 2020. Advertisement Kiernan was twice among the 50 fastest female finishers at the Boston Marathon, running 2:46:36 in 2021 and 2:49:33 in 2024, the latter coming just a year after she had her first child. 'This is my second pregnancy, and I was able to run healthily up to 24 hours out from giving birth to my son, and I did run a couple of races in that first pregnancy,' Kiernan explained. 'Just for fun, not all-out efforts, but just to still be part of the community and vibes and race day and mix it up a little bit. Having had that positive experience the last time, I thought I would try it again this time. 'The marathon weekend is such a fun running weekend in Boston, I've run the marathon [multiple times], I ran last year. I thought it would be fun to still be part of the fanfare and good vibes of marathon weekend but in a shorter, more-appopriate-to-being-eight-months-pregnant kind of way.' Advertisement Reilly Kiernan was 35 weeks pregnant when she finished sixth in her age group in the Boston 5K. Courtesy of Reilly Kiernan Thanks to the pregnancy deferral program, Kiernan was able to defer her Boston Marathon entry to 2026, where she hopes to back running the full distance from Hopkinton to Back Bay. Kiernan raced the BAA 5K in 2022, coming second in her age group in 16:40. Saturday's effort — still quick for many — was a little less serious and a little more fun, considering her due date for her second child (a girl this time) is May 25, putting her just five weeks out when she toed the line Saturday. 'It definitely feels different, definitely no pressure, just doing it for fun and making sure I keep the effort under control,' she said. 'But I think the fun thing about the 5K is that it is that kind of kickoff to marathon weekend. Being in the crowd with people from all different countries, people who are using it as a tune-up for the race on Monday, or people who are just using it in the same way that I did, to be part of the celebration of the weekend, you can't help but get some of the positive energy and momentum of that.'

Eagles hosted a massive athlete and intriguing swing tackle candidate on a predraft visit Top 30 visits have started, and Zack Berman reports that Philadelphia had an intriguing All-Big 12 and former All-Ivy League performer in for a visit. The Eagles are building through the trenches. As the team works to retool the roster while maintaining a Super Bowl window, Howie Roseman will utilize eight draft picks to amass depth and key starters. The top 30 visits have started, and Zack Berman reports that Philadelphia had an intriguing All-Big 12 and former All-Ivy League performer in for a visit. Travis declared for the NFL draft on Dec. 31 after four years at Princeton and one at Iowa State. During his time with the Tigers, Travis was a two-time All-Ivy Selection. He transferred to Iowa State. Unofficially listed at 6'7", 340 lbs., Travis is a massive athlete with starting experience at left and right tackle. Travis projects as an early Day 3 selection, but the lack of depth at offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL draft might propel the former Cylcone into the third round.
