Jamie Ruginski is the most decorated student-athlete in the history of the storied University of Southern Maine men's track & field program, as he finished his career as a four-time NCAA Division III National Champion and an eight-time NCAA Division III All-American in the long jump and triple jump events from 2014-15.
 
Ruginski claimed his first national championship in the indoor triple jump in 2014 (15.28m) and made it a sweep of the event by winning the outdoor national championship (15.13m). He won his third consecutive triple jump (14.94m) national championship at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships, and capped his career by winning the long jump (7.47m) at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
 
Over the course of his career, Ruginski was named the Little East Conference Field Athlete of the Year three times, including a sweep of the indoor and outdoor awards in 2014, and helped lead the Huskies to the 2015 LEC indoor and outdoor team titles. He was twice named the USTFCCCA Men's Division III Field Athlete of the Year, and was named the USTFCCCA Men's Outstanding Field Performer of the Year at the 2015 Division III Outdoor Championships.

Ruginski remains the program's indoor and outdoor record holder in the long jump (indoor: 7.31m, outdoor: 7.47m) and triple jump (indoor: 7.31m, outdoor: 15.61m), and is still the LEC Championship record holder in the indoor (14.99m) and outdoor (15.37m) triple jump. 

Ruginski earned his bachelor’s degree from Southern Maine in 2025, and was inducted into USM’s Husky Hall of Fame in 2025.
