In 2023, the Spiders placed 7^th in the conference with 58 points. The Spiders made a stamp on the competition in the very first individual race Sunday, taking first and second place in the 1,500m. Madison Trippett outsprinted teammate Kayla O'Connell down the final straightaway to secure gold with a time of 4:22.83. O'Connell finished second in 4:24.60, a personal best. It was Trippett's first career gold medal in the Outdoor A-10 Championship and the first individual Outdoor A-10 Championship medal for O'Connell, who won gold as part of the Richmond's 4 x 800m relay team in 2021. Richmond also medaled in the 800 meters, with Kyra Keurentjes finishing second in 2:08.71. Teammate Kate McAndrew missed out on a medal by .06 seconds, placing fourth in a season-best 2:09.06.

Virginia Beringer and Caroline Donohoe continued their success alongside Dylan Miller and Morgan Lyons in the 4x800 relay. The group took the 7th place finish as the mark stands as the No. 7 time in the NCAA this year. It moves up in the Richmond records to No. 3 all-time and is the current No. 1 mark in the Atlantic 10. Elizabeth Stockman broke another program record in Philadelphia, this time in the 1500m placing 6th.
