LAWRENCE, Kan. – Texas Tech swept the 2025 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship as the men’s team tallied 136 points to claim its sixth crown, while 127 points were posted by the women’s team during its journey to its first Big 12 outdoor title. Both programs were also the 2025 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field champions.

BYU finished second in the men’s standings with 100.66 points, followed by Houston in third place with 96 points, Kansas in fourth place with 75 points and Iowa State rounded out the top five with 71 points.

The BYU women earned 112.5 points for a second-place finish with TCU placing third with 86 points, Baylor finishing fourth with 84.5 points and Kansas’ 55.83 points earned them a fifth-place finish.

BYU’s James Corrigan and TCU’s Indya Mayberry were named the Men’s and Women’s High Point Award winners after earning 20 and 22 points, respectively, during the weekend.

After three days of action, a total of 10 meet records were reset. Headlined by Corrigan’s second record-breaking performance, seven Big 12 meet records were crushed during the Championship’s final day.  

The Red Raider women led the league’s teams in the field events on Saturday as they earned the gold in the high jump, discus throw and the triple jump. TTU’s Temitope Adeshina defended her high jump crown with a meet record jump of 1.97 meters, surpassing the previous 16-year-old mark of 1.95.

Already earning the women’s hammer throw Friday, TTU’s Shelby Frank was not done at the Championship on Saturday as she collected her second Big 12 crown during the weekend with a winning throw of 62.14 in the women’s discus throw.

The women’s team title was secured by TTU following a 26-point performance from the Red Raiders during the women’s triple jump. Victoria Gorlova rounded out TTU’s event winners as she won the event with a jump of 13.66 meters, leading a quartet of Red Raiders finishing within the top eight.  

The Red Raider men claimed the 4×100 with a time of 39.34 seconds, their first gold in the event since 2023. On the women’s side, Baylor claimed its second consecutive Big 12 title in the event with a time of 42.73 seconds.

DeSean Boyce would pick up the Red Raider men’s second crown of the day in the 400 meters (45.42) to claim the program’s second Big 12 title in the event since Gil Roberts was tabbed the winner in 2009.

The runners-up had a productive day on Saturday as the distance runners from both the men’s and women’s programs boasted meet records. BYU’s Meghan Hunter became the first woman to run sub-two minutes in the women’s 800 meters in Big 12 history. Her time of 1:58.99 is now the third-fastest in NCAA history.

Additionally, BYU earned another title as Corrigan posted the Championship’s fastest time in the men’s 5,000 meters at 13:25.46. It marked the second time the junior had reset a Big 12 record this week.

Lexy Halladay-Lowry rounded out record-breaking performances posted by BYU distance runners as she claimed the women’s 5,000-meter crown with a time of 15:14.93, crushing the previous record by seven seconds (15:22.42, 2010). Halladay-Lowry claimed her second Big 12 title in the event during the 2025 season, also winning the indoor title.

The KU men picked up two field events as Dimitrios Pavlidis upheld his discus throw title with a launch of 61.31 meters during his fourth throw before Ashton Barkdull’s personal-best clearance of 5.61 meters in the pole vault led a group of five Jayhawks who finished within the top eight to claim the program’s second consecutive title in the event.  

In front of the Jayhawk home crowd, KU’s Emmaculate Jemutai’s kick within the final meters pushed her to a meet record time of 4:08.60 in the women’s 1,500 meters. The sophomore is the second runner from Kansas to win the gold medal, first claimed in 2010.

Houston’s Jamar Marshall Jr. reinvented the wheel in the men’s 110-meter hurdles as he outlasted a 14-year-old record (13.23) with a time of 13.13 to return the title to Houston. The Cougars reclaimed another sprinting title in the men’s 100 meters as sophomore Cayden Broadnax won the event with a time of 10.15 seconds.

Mayberry, this season’s NCAA leader in the women’s 100 meters, claimed her first Big 12 outdoor title in the event with a time of 11.03 seconds. The freshman is the first TCU woman to claim the gold in the event since the Horned Frogs joined the Conference in 2012. She later claimed the 200-meter title with a 22.47 mark. The freshman has gone undefeated in the event this season, claiming both indoor and outdoor Big 12 titles along with the NCAA indoor crown.

Lloyd Frilot swept the men’s 800 meters this season in the Conference, earning the indoor and outdoor crowns. Joining Mayberry as first-time TCU winners, Frilot is the first Horned Frog winner to clinch the men’s outdoor title.

Kashie Crockett rounded out the title winners from TCU on Saturday, winning the men’s 200 meters with a time of 20.41 seconds.

Baylor’s Nathaniel Ezekiel became the fifth Bear to claim the men’s 400-meter hurdles crown in back-to-back years with a Big 12 record-setting time of 47.89 seconds. During the week, the senior broke his Big 12 meet record twice, first surpassing his 48 seconds from last year during Thursday’s preliminary round.

K-State’s Jhavor Bennett earned the Wildcats’ first gold medal in the men’s triple jump since 2014. The junior won the event with a personal-best throw of 16.21 during his final attempt. 

Safhia Hinds became the third woman from K-State to earn the Big 12 title in the women’s 400-meter hurdles as she crossed the finish line at 55.90 seconds.

OSU’s Fouad Messaoudi earned his third men’s 1,500 meters Big 12 crown in four seasons with a time of 3:37.27.

Adaobi Tabugbo secured the Knights’ second straight Big 12 title in the women’s 100-meter hurdles after the senior ran the event in 12.87 seconds.

Iowa State’s Rachel Joseph went back-to-back in the women’s 400 meters this season, adding the outdoor crown (50.81) after claiming the event during the Big 12 Indoor Championship.

The Arizona State men won their first Big 12 4×400-meter relay (3:02.87) while UCF swept the relay on the women’s side (3:33.62) during the 2025 season to conclude the 2025 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

Big 12 teams will look ahead to preparing for the East and West Regions Qualifying Rounds of the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Athletes accepted into the first rounds, along with the Championship’s combined event athletes, will be announced on Thursday, May 22.

Santa Barbara High boys volleyball came up just short in a five-set battle with Sage Hill in the CIF-SS Division 4 Championship match on Saturday inside J.R. Richards Gym.

The Dons won two of the first three sets but couldn’t come out on top as the Lightning caught fire down the stretch to win the final two sets and the CIF-SS title, 15-25, 25-13, 18-25, 25-20, 15-8.

“To get here is quite an accomplishment, but to win it, it’s even harder,” Santa Barbara High head coach Chad Arneson said. “I give our boys a lot of credit. They played hard. Unfortunately, it wasn’t one of our best overall team performances.

“I’m so bummed for our boys because they worked so hard, but they should be proud of what they’ve accomplished.”

Sage Hill’s CIF championship is the program’s second straight, as the Lightning came out on top in Division 5 last season. Meanwhile, the Dons have now been to two championship matches in five years.

Santa Barbara High’s strong playoff run came following an up-and-down regular season that featured a third-place finish in the Channel League and some struggles in marquee matchups.

“I don’t think a lot of teams or even the community thought we were going to go this far with this kind of group, so I’m really proud of our boys,” Arneson said.

“I’m proud of our guys. We did not look this good at the start of the season,” Santa Barbara High senior Jack Goligoski said. “This whole playoff run, we’ve kind of found our lineup and everyone’s just stepped up and played great team volleyball. We don’t have any real standouts, but we always play really well together.”

The Dons will learn if they will continue their season in the State Regional Tournament when brackets are released on Sunday.

In the opening set, the two teams battled to a 5-5 tie, but a kill and a block by Benicio Duarte on back-to-back points gave the Dons a two-point cushion.

Santa Barbara held onto that advantage and it grew out to 15-9 thanks to a pair of kills by Hayes Costner and a Chase Holdren ace, prompting the first Sage Hill timeout of the contest.

The Dons weren’t slowed down by the timeout, as Holdren continued to run a fluid offensive attack and find his talented outside hitters. On the final point of the set, he dished it off to Goligoski, who found Costner for the kill to take the 25-15 win and the 1-0 lead.

Sage Hill came out of the break with a sense of urgency and raced out to a 5-1 lead, forcing Arneson to call a timeout.

The Dons got two quick points out of the break on a Lightning miscue and an ace from Costner, but Sage Hill regained its momentum and continued to pull away to a 13-5 advantage that led to another timeout from Santa Barbara.

The Lightning continued to roll from there, dominating at the net to grow its lead out to as many as 12 points. Long Beach State commit Jackson Cryst finished off the 25-13 win with an ace to even the match at 1-1.

“We’d have momentum, and we’d lose momentum, then we’d win some momentum… (It is a) game of runs,” Arneson said.

Sage Hill carried that momentum over to the third set, as the visitors grabbed the early 4-0 lead and forced a Santa Barbara High timeout.

Following a service error by the Dons, they found themselves trailing 6-3. Benicio Duarte then came up with back-to-back kills on the outside to spark a 6-0 Santa Barbara High run with Goligoski on the service line to take a 9-6 lead.

The Dons found more of a groove as the set progressed, taking advantage of several Sage Hill miscues and coming up with timely kills to pull away and secure the 25-18 win, moving one set away from a CIF-SS title.

The fourth set began just like the previous two as the Lightning grabbed the early momentum and built a 5-1 lead.

The Dons battled back and cut the deficit to one at three different points, including 12-11. However, a kill by Cryst kicked off a 3-0 spurt to extend the Sage Hill lead to 15-11.

The Lightning held the slim advantage for the majority of the set, but Santa Barbara High made a late push with three straight points to cut the deficit to 22-20.

However, Sage Hill reconvened with a timeout and finished off the 25-20 victory to force a winner-take-all fifth set.

“I think winning game four would have been nice… but, that’s the beauty of sports, you know?” Arneson said. “Someone’s got to win and someone’s got to lose. Unfortunately, it was us tonight, but our guys should keep their heads high and feel proud of what they’ve accomplished this year.”

In set five, Sage Hill received the opening serve and took advantage with an ace followed by a kill for a quick 2-0 advantage.

That proved to be crucial, as the two sides then traded points until a back row kill by Cryst gave the Lightning a 9-7 lead and led to a Santa Barbara High timeout.

From there, Cryst took full control of the match by hammering down two kills and coming up with a clutch block down the stretch to lead his team to a 15-8 win and a CIF-SS title.

“We got off to a slow start, and it’s tough when you’re on your heels and you have to play against a really good team and offensive dominance over there on that side. [Cryst] definitely set the tone,” Arneson said.

Costner and Duarte led the Santa Barbara High offense with 12 kills apiece while both Luke Zuffelato and Kristian Dybdahl tallied seven kills. Holdren ended the day with 37 assists and 10 digs.

King’s Academy’s boys volleyball program is leaving Polk State College, home of the Class 1A state championship match, with the first title in school history.

The Lions brought out the celebratory brooms, defeating Sports Leadership and Management (Tampa Bay) with a 3-0 sweep to clinch the state hardware.

Two years after making it to the state series during their sophomore year, Jake Manning, John Casey, and Dylan Wahl broke through during their senior years, while senior teammates Ryan Huff, David Brainard, and Graysen Amestoy also ended their high school careers on a high note.

“Very exciting,” head coach Danielle McCoy said. “It was the goal from the beginning of the season. We had a mission after a tough loss last year in the regional championship, so the boys were very motivated to go as far as we could go.”

After losing to Seminole Ridge in the regional championship last year, King’s defeated Cardinal Gibbons in the same round during this year’s campaign, the only match to really test their limits during their entire postseason run.

(ABC 6 News) – It was a special day in Cannon Falls, as the community rallied together to honor one of their own, who’s life was tragically cut short by melanoma cancer in 2023, with the 2nd annual Alex Hanson Volleyball Tournament.

“It’s all in honor of him man, and that’s why we do it, cause we all love him so much and we just want to come out here and have fun in his honor,” said Philip Marklevits, Alex’s neighbor.

Family and friends of Alex were out Saturday celebrating his memory, in the way he would’ve wanted.

“I knew him for like 4 or 5 years, but we all get so close so fast, so it’s really nice to be able to just do something for him,” said Maddie Johnson, a friend of Alex’s.

“Alex was in a lot of sports. Twins, Vikings, you know, everything. I don’t really care much for a lot of sports so volleyball was the one thing that we had a lot in common,” said Mitchell Ryan, another one of Alex’s friends.

Everyone who knew Alex took the time to reflect on the impact he left on them..

“Alex means a lot to me. And I just come out here because he’d be out here playing to, if he was here with us so that’s why I do it,” said Marklevits.

The tournament wasn’t all games and laughter; it was also about raising awareness of the dreadful disease of Melanoma.

“Wear your sunscreen, get checked. If you see something off, that’s probably the biggest thing is people push off things, so yeah if you see something that doesn’t seem right, get checked out,” said Joe Conner, Alex’s Brother-In-Law.

Most importantly though, the day was about having fun and remembering the good times shared, even if Alex’s loved ones wish he could be playing right alongside of them.

“Everybody is so connected now, it’s nice to see everyone come together and actually supporting something,” said Johnson.

Organizers say that all proceeds this year will go to Cannon Falls and surrounding cities for places to escape the sun to further spread awareness on Melanoma.

11 teams participated in this years tournament and is expected to continue next year.

The event is open to the public. To sign up next year, you can look for a link on the Alex Hanson Volleyball tournament Facebook page.

A spurt of three consecutive hits resulted in a Wilson Weber double that drove in the first two runs of the game for the Beavers.

Oregon State loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the second. Easton Talt’s blooper just missed the outstretched glove of Alex Champagne in center, allowing a run to score. With a shift on against Aiva Arquette, Trotter Enright fielded his grounder up the middle, stepped on second, and threw to Connor Charpiot at first to complete the double play. A run scored on the play to make it 4-0. Gavin Turley flew out to end the game.

Weber led off the bottom of the third with his 10th home run of the year. The first seven Beavers reached base in the inning. Weber added an RBI single in his second at-bat of the frame as Oregon State scored seven times to reach double digits. 

Talt’s two-out, two-run opposite-field home run to left in the bottom of the sixth capped off the scoring.

Oregon State starter Ethan Kleinschmit allowed a Long Beach State hit and an Armando Briseno first-inning single over the first five innings. He retired 13 Dirtbags in a row before walking Jake Evans to begin the sixth. He struck out two of the next three LBSU batters to keep Long Beach State at bay.

Kleinschmitt threw the first six innings before giving way to Noah Ferguson, who retired the Dirtbags in order in the seventh. Weber was 3-for-4 with four RBI to top the Beavers. Arquette went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI.

Long Beach State finishes the season with a 22-31 record. Oregon State is 41-12-1.

Up next on the boys volleyball calendar is the District 3 tournament, where eight Lancaster-Lebanon League teams are ready to set sail in those brackets.

Ah, brackets. Get your pencils sharpened.

The league finalists snared the best seeds among L-L qualifiers; runner-up Manheim Central is the No. 1 seed in the Class 2A bracket, and L-L champ Cedar Crest is No. 3 in 3A.

First-round matches are on Tuesday. Manheim Central has a bye into Thursday’s 2A quarterfinals. There are no neutral sites this year; the higher seed hosts in every round, straight through the championships, set for May 29 in both classifications.

The top five finishers in 3A will qualify for the PIAA tournament. Just the top three in 2A will get through to states.

The L-L had a pair of district runners-up last spring; Manheim Central fell to Exeter in the 2A finale, and Warwick lost to Central York in the 3A title match.

The Barons ended up going all the way to the PIAA championship showdown, where Manheim Central fell to Meadville. The Barons and the Bulldogs have been on a collision course for a rematch, and with Exeter up in 3A this spring, Manheim Central definitely has a path — a path that could see the Barons face a pair of L-L Section 2 rivals in the district bracket.

Stay tuned.

Manheim Central hits districts at No. 2 and District 10 power Meadville at No. 1 in the PVCA 2A state rankings. Those slots have gone unchanged since March.

The state playoffs get started on June 3.

But first, it’s the District 3 tournament. Here’s a preview.

PVCA BOYS VOLLEYBALL STATE RANKINGS

CLASS 3A

Section 1 champ Cedar Crest (No. 3) and Section 2 runner-up Cocalico (No. 10) are in the bottom half of the bracket. On Tuesday, the Falcons (18-2 overall) will host No. 14 Dallastown, and the Eagles (16-3) will be at No. 7 Central Dauphin.

Cocalico is up from 2A this spring. The Eagles’ three setbacks: Twice to Manheim Central in league play, and to Cedar Crest in the L-L semifinals. They’re certainly battle-tested for their first soiree in 3A.

Meanwhile, Section 1 runner-up Warwick (No. 4), 15-time district champ Hempfield (No. 9) and three-time district champ Penn Manor (No. 16) are in the upper half of the draw. The Comets went 4-1 down the stretch to snag the final seed.

On Tuesday, Warwick (10-3) will welcome No. 13 Northeastern York — no strangers to a district bracket with 18 championship banners hanging on the gym wall — Hempfield (10-4) will play at No. 8 Mechanicsburg, and Penn Manor (10-8) has the trickiest draw in the bracket with a trip to No. 1 Cumberland Valley.

Note: Hempfield at Mechanicsburg is a 4:30 p.m. start. All other matches begin at 7 p.m.

Cumberland Valley (14-0) is one of just two undefeated teams still standing in the district, and the Mid-Penn power Eagles, who won the 3A district crown in 2023, and who haven’t dropped a set this spring, are at No. 1 in the PVCA 3A state rankings.

Berks County champ Governor Mifflin (16-0) is the No. 2 seed, and the Mustangs will host No. 15 Carlisle on Tuesday. Mifflin dethroned Exeter in the Berks finale last week.

The most intriguing first-rounder in 3A: No. 6 Central York, which owns a district-record 25 titles — including last year’s eke-it-out 3-2 victory over Warwick — will host No. 11 Exeter, which won 2A gold last spring, and bumped up a class in 2025. That survivor could get Cedar Crest in the quarterfinals if the Falcons take care of their business.

Player to watch: Cedar Crest senior jumping-jack hitter Jack Wolgemuth, a St. Francis University recruit, is coming off a jaw-dropping 15-kill, 15-dig performance against Manheim Central in the L-L grand finale. The Section 1 MVP makes the Falcons tick.

Prediction: Cumberland Valley over Cedar Crest. Here’s thinking the Falcons will ride the momentum of their first L-L crown all the way to the finals. But the Eagles are a different animal.

CLASS 2A

Manheim Central, looking for some redemption after falling in the L-L title match to Cedar Crest last Thursday, awaits the winner of Tuesday’s match featuring No. 8 Northern Lebanon hosting No. 9 Harrisburg Christian Academy.

The Barons saw their two-year L-L reign come to a screeching halt. Still, Manheim Central captured its third straight Section 2 title, with a 38-match winning streak in league play to boot.

Northern Lebanon (10-10) wrapped up its first season as full-time L-L members with a trip to districts. Win, and the Vikings would head to Manheim Central (17-1) on Thursday.

Lancaster Mennonite (No. 5) is also in the top of the bracket; the Blazers (11-8) will host No. 12 Hershey on Tuesday, and that winner could get another local squad in the quarterfinals: No. 4 Linville Hill Christian (16-2) out of the Commonwealth Christian Athletic Conference, will host No. 13 Millersburg in Gap for a first-rounder on Tuesday.

What a school year for Linville Hill, which has already produced a state champ in boys basketball, and a state runner-up in girls basketball and in girls volleyball.

Manheim Central, Lancaster Mennonite, Northern Lebanon and Linville Hill are all in the upper bracket, giving that pod plenty of local flavor — and potential win-and-advance matchups.

The bottom half of the 2A bracket features No. 2 York Suburban, which has a bye into Thursday’s quarterfinals. The Trojans are ranked fourth in the state, and they’ll get the No. 10 Schuylkill Valley at No. 7 Berks Catholic survivor.

All things considered, it will take some pretty major upsets for this not to be a Manheim Central vs. York Suburban finale. The Barons blanked the Trojans 3-0 in a nonleague match in York back on May 5. Anything short of a rematch would be a stunner.

Player to watch: Manheim Central senior hitter Reagan Miller pounded out 20 kills against Cedar Crest in the L-L title match, and he’s a reliable pin-hitter — and sizzling jump-serve specialist — for the Barons, who are amped to make some gold-laden postseason memories.

Prediction: Manheim Central over York Suburban. The Barons, who last mined district gold back in 2019, have been salivating to get some redemption in this bracket. It’s theirs to lose. Win three matches in cozy Derbyshire Gym, and they’ll get the gold medals.
