Local connections
Arizona high school track and field will be well represented at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships. From the top four in-state universities, eight total athletes with prep ties are on the entries list.
ASU has one: Jayden Davis (Phoenix Mountain Pointe).
Davis is one of the greatest runners Arizona has ever seen, setting the state record as a senior in the 400 meters three times before ending the year at 46.24. He won eight out of 10 races in the 400 meters during his final season in high school.
There is one high school alum as an alternate on ASU’s 4×400-relay team with freshman Josiah Anderson, who attended Phoenix Barry Goldwater.
Arizona has six: Zach Landa (Mesa Desert Ridge), Jesse Avina (Sierra Vista Buena), Zach Extine (Gilbert Perry), Isaac Davis (Queen Creek Casteel), Tyson Tippett (Chandler), Jenica Bosko (Tucson).
Landa had his senior season cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but he already solidified as one of the best throwers in state history in the shot put (63 feet, 9 inches) and discus (195-7). Avina only competed in four meets in the javelin during high school before enrolling at Paradise Valley Community College, where he was the 2021 NJCAA national champion and runner-up in 2022. Bosko hit 19-1 in the long jump and was the runner-up at the AIA Division I Championships.
There are two alums as alternates on Arizona’s 4×400-relay team with junior McKenna Watson (Phoenix Pinnacle) and sophomore Brooke Nordman (Scottsdale Chaparral).
NAU has one: Trevor Hook (Phoenix Arcadia). He was the Division II state champion as a junior in 2019 and finished sixth at the Meet of Champions. He was able to compete in three meets before the season was cancelled the following year, hitting a best of 172-7.
Arizona high school alumns competing at other colleges or universitiees include: Ole Miss junior Logan Kelley (Chandler Valley Christian, 2022) in the men’s pole vault; Tarleton State junior Sir Jonathan Sims (Chandler) in the men’s long jump; Indiana junior Makayla Hunter (Chandler, 2021) in the women’s shot put; BYU sophomore Taylor Lovell (Gilbert Perry, 2022) in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase; and Kentucky freshmen Stacey Onyepunuka (Avondale Agua Fria, 2024) and Kori Martin (Chandler Hamilton, 2024) in the women’s 4×100-meter relay.
Who has a chance to win?
There are a few individuals, as well as one relay, with a chance to land on the podium in Eugene.
Arizona senior Zach Landa in the shot put is one of the athletes with the best odds of winning. He was robbed of a potentially historic senior season at Desert Ridge, so it would only be fitting to end his college career on top. Landa, who won the Big 12 conference indoor individual title in the shot put, is currently ranked third outdoors in the NCAA at 67-8.75.
Only 10 sprinters in the NCAA this season have run under 45 seconds in the 400 and ASU sophomore Jayden Davis is one of them, which he did in a race against Fred Kerley earlier this year. Davis, at 44.84, has built on his stellar high school career by becoming one of the best quarter-milers in the history of the Sun Devils.
With Davis as the anchor of the 4×400-relay team, ASU is certainly in contention for the national title. ASU is ranked fourth in the country, only separated by .33 seconds from the No. 1 team.
It’s never wise to count out a distance runner from NAU with Mike Smith at the helm. This will be the last-ever competition for Smith as the head coach at NAU before he departs the school to move full-time to the professional level with Nike.
With redshirt senior Drew Bosley and junior Colin Sahlman — two of his best runners ever — competing, each is a threat on the men’s side. Bosley is the former NCAA record-holder in the indoor 3,000 and Sahlman is ninth all-time in the NCAA for the 1,500. For the women, junior Maggi Congdon is a force in the 1,500 while sophomore Karrie Baloga, the Under-20 American record holder, has already established herself in the steeplechase.

About Hayward Field
Hayward Field, which was built in 1919, is no stranger to top-tier track and field events, including the Diamond League and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
The venue is named after Bill Hayward, who ran the University of Oregon track and field program from 1904 to 1947. Though it originally was intended for Ducks football, many additions and renovations over the century have helped it become a premier destination.
In September 2023, the venue became the first facility outside of Zurich or Brussels to host the two-day season-ending Wanda Diamond League Final, where the year’s 32 overall champions were crowned.

Boys Volleyball: Day 1 was a powerful day of history | News
Making history created ever-present smiles, enthusiasm and positivity to all involved in Day 1 of the inaugural Minnesota State High School League Boys Volleyball State Tournament on Tuesday, June 10 at Schoenecker Arena on the University of St. Thomas Campus.

Making history created ever-present smiles, enthusiasm and positivity to all involved in Day 1 of the inaugural Minnesota State High School League Boys Volleyball State Tournament on Tuesday, June 10 at Schoenecker Arena on the University of St. Thomas Campus.
From goosebumps during the National Anthem to the excitement generated by public address announcer Jane Voss to the thrilling intensity and drama of nail-biting matches, this banner day belonged to the Boys Volleyball community. Win or lose, this was a historic day.
The journey for Boys Volleyball in becoming a League-sanctioned activity included approval in December of 2022 as an emerging activity. On May 9, 2023, the momentum continued when Minnesota became the 25th state association in the nation to sanction Boys Volleyball after the 48-member Representative Assembly approved a Bylaw Amendment to include the activity with the League’s vast menu of opportunities. The 2024 season was the final one under the guidance of the Minnesota Boys High School Volleyball Association.
“I’ve never experienced something like this,” Eastview junior middle blocker Colin Nathan said of the state tournament atmosphere. “It was pretty amazing.”
The top seeds played out per their ranking with No. 1 Eden Prairie, No. 2 Eastview, No. 3 Rogers and No. 4 Spring Lake Park advancing to the semifinals on Wednesday, June 11.
No. 3 Rogers 3, No. 6 St. Paul Central 2: What an incredible way to open the first-ever state tournament. This was tense and close from the start as each team had dazzling displays of power in a match that lasted more than two hours. Rogers built a two-set lead, but watched as scrappy St. Paul Central battled back to tie and force a deciding set. That was dramatic as well before the Royals (26-1) completed it for a 25-21, 25-21, 23-25, 21-25, 15-13 victory.
“We are very grateful to be the first team to win,” Rogers head coach Jarol Torres said. “It’s special.”
Junior right-side setter Ethan Pearson powered the Royals with 26 kills, and senior outside hitter Landen Holterman added 17.
St. Paul Central senior outside hitter Josiah Walker had 24 kills, including the first one in state tournament history. The Minutemen (21-6) said they felt the strong support in the crowd and beyond.
“We weren’t just playing for Central,” first-year coach Georgia Tilton said. “We were playing for the entire City of St. Paul.”
No. 2 Eastview 3, No. 7 Hopkins 2: Eastview, the Section 1 champion, took control from the start en route to posting a 25-17, 25-12, 25-19 victory over Hopkins in the second match of the day. Junior outside hitter Jay Thammavongsa had 15 kills and junior setter Brice Dehnel had 27 assists. Eastview (28-3) has not lost a set in four postseason matches.
“We knew coming in here that if we executed, we’d be OK,” Lightning coach Ryan Dehnel said. “If we fell asleep, we knew we’d be in trouble.”
Senior outside hitter Owen Barnett had 12 kills to lead Hopkins (17-9).
Eastview’s victory sets up a championship semifinal with Rogers. The two did not meet during the regular season.
No. 4 Spring Lake Park 3, No. 5 North St. Paul 1: Spring Lake Park head coach Shelly Deegan wasn’t overly concerned about her team’s mindset entering the inaugural Boys Volleyball State Tournament. Even after dropping the first set to the Polars, she remained confident. So did her team.
“There was an uneasy calmness, but they started coming alive,” she said.
The Panthers certainly did by rattling off three consecutive victories on the way to a 17-25, 26-24, 25-20, 25-18 victory in the third quarterfinal. Senior outside hitter Remi Xiong paced the Panthers (24-7) with 15 kills, and junior outside hitter Atticus Molitor chipped in with 11. Senior setter Hector Ly had 19 assists as the Panthers avenged a 2-1 loss to North St. Paul during an invitational on May 17.
North St. Paul (25-3) got 12 kills from senior Chi Nou Vaj and 10 each from senior Evan Thor and senior Roman Thao.
“Errors started showing up,” Polars’ coach AJ Vang said of the loss in the second set. “Nothing was going our way.”
No. 1 Eden Prairie 3, No. 8 Park Center 0: Top-seeded Eden Prairie looked the part in a 25-19, 25-18, 25-14 victory over Park Center. Senior outside hitter Gabriel Hernandez powered the Eagles (25-2) with 11 kills in the match that took just 1 hour, 12 minutes. Senior setter Deion Lange dished out 32 assists.
The victory sends the Eagles into the semifinals where they will face Spring Lake Park. Eden Prairie defeated Spring Lake Park in two sets during an invitational on May 3.
Park Center (13-9), the Section 5 champion, was paced by senior Payton Xiong, who had seven kills and senior setter Titus Lee, who had 19 assists.

Pueblo, Colo. – June 10, 2025 — The Colorado State University-Pueblo men’s and women’s track and field programs have solidified their status among the NCAA Division II elite as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced the final 2024-25 Program of the Year standings on Tuesday.
The ThunderWolves men’s team earned a No. 7 national ranking in the Damon Martin Program of the Year standings, which reward consistency and excellence across cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track seasons. The men totaled 43 points—accumulated by placing 14th at the NCAA Division II Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Championships—proving the squad’s balance and competitiveness throughout the academic year.
CSU Pueblo’s success was once again anchored by standout senior Reece Sharman-Newell, who delivered exceptional performances across all seasons. In cross country, he led the ThunderWolves with a 31st-place All-American finish at nationals in Sacramento, clocking 30:17.7 in the 10K. Sharman-Newell followed that up indoors by becoming the national runner-up in the mile, breaking the 4-minute barrier with a time of 3:59.56. He also anchored the All-American distance medley relay (DMR) squad that placed fourth, alongside Jon Sweepe, Tyrell Smith, and Kaleb Tipton.
During the outdoor season, Sharman-Newell capped his year with a National Championship victory in the 1,500-meter run in front of a home crowd at the CSU Pueblo ThunderBowl. Additional All-American efforts came from Tim Anstett, who took fifth in the men’s 800-meter, and Jon Sweepe, who joined Sharman-Newell on the All-American list in the 1,500-meter.
On the women’s side, the ThunderWolves soared to fourth place in the Jerry Baltes Program of the Year standings—marking a historic year across all three seasons.
In cross country, CSU Pueblo notched its highest-ever finish with a third-place team performance at the national meet in Sacramento. The ThunderWolves saw three athletes earn All-American honors, led by mid-distance star Helen Braybrook, who finished 13th in the 6K (20:54.5). First-year sensation Leah Keisler, a Scottish native competing in her first-ever cross country season, stunned with a 20th-place finish and All-American accolades.
The women maintained their momentum indoors, taking sixth place at the NCAA Championships. Braybrook, the highly decorated veteran runner for the ThunderWolves showed that hard work eventually pays off. The Brit took home her first ever Individual NCAA Title, winning the 800 Meters with a time of 2:04.72.
Katherine Higgins recorded a personal best in the Shot Put, picking up a mark of 15.78 to bring home second place, while Febe Wessels etched her name into CSU Pueblo history as well, as the South African finished in fifth place in the Shot Put, also throwing a personal best and a mark of 15.39.
The DMR squad of Jadyn Herron, Gabrielle Dunich, Leah Keisler, and Helen Braybrook have officially etched their named in NCAA and CSU Pueblo history, as the four women led the Pack to a National Championship. While the Pack were the favorites to win the championship coming in, the four women did not let that get to their head, winning by more than five seconds.
The season concluded outdoors with another program-best, a ninth-place finish at the Outdoor National Championships on home turf in Pueblo.
Senior Katherine Higgins headlined the day, closing her collegiate career in storybook fashion. Higgins was named the Elite 90 award winner for having the highest GPA (a perfect 4.0) among championship competitors, then topped that achievement by capturing her first individual National Championship in the women’s shot put. She threw a personal best of 16.38m to earn her sixth All-American honor.
n the women’s 800m, Pueblo’s favorite Brit, Helen Braybrook—already a local legend and a likely future Olympian for Great Britain—ran a personal best of 2:03.67 to finish as national runner-up. She was joined on the podium by Scottish junior Leah Keisler, who took seventh in 2:07.07, earning All-American status.
Back in the shot put ring, junior Febe Wessels of South Africa continued her consistent excellence, placing fifth with a throw of 15.44m and adding another All-American performance to her résumé.
Freshman Keturah Templeman capped off her record-breaking debut season in the women’s javelin, finishing ninth with a mark of 46.18m—adding to a historic freshman campaign for the young ThunderWolf.
The 2024-25 campaign represented a year of firsts and milestones for the ThunderWolves. Under the guidance of their coaching staff and the leadership of student-athletes like Sharman-Newell, Braybrook, and Keisler, CSU Pueblo has established itself as one of the most complete and consistent programs in NCAA Division II.
With historic finishes, national titles, and a haul of All-American honors, the ThunderWolves’ success this year will be remembered as one of the finest in program history
