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.

What Schools Won The Team Titles At The 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s And Women’s Outdoor Track And Field Championships?

The Arkansas women took home the outdoor team title in 2024, sweeping the indoor and outdoor championships for the 2023-2024 season.

Florida, led by legendary head coach Mike Holloway, secured the men’s title in 2024, giving the Gators three consecutive outdoor men’s titles. Florida became the first team to three-peat since Texas A&M (2009-2011).

What Schools Have Won The Most Titles At The NCAA Division I Outdoor Track And Field Championships?

The NCAA Division I Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships first was held in 1921. 

USC owns the most men’s titles with 25, while Arkansas is the only other program with 10 or more (10).

The NCAA Division I Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships first was held in 1982.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Six members of the St. Bonaventure women’s lacrosse team have earned Academic All-District honors from College Sports Communicators for their success in the classroom and on the field over their Bonnies careers: Brooke Cicoria, Grace Hollenbeck, Fiona McGovern, Tori Nascimento, Brooke Piper and Megan Schillinger.

The 2025 Academic All-District Women’s At-Large Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances in the athletic realm and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions. At-large sports include golf, fencing, ice hockey, gymnastics, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, water polo, beach volleyball, bowling, rowing, field hockey and wrestling.

Cicoria, a health science major from Pittsford, N.Y., graduated this May with a 3.96 cumulative GPA. An Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selection for each year of her Bonaventure career, she started 43 of 62 career games as a key member of the Bonnies defense. She started every game in each of the past two years while logging 27 caused turnovers and 51 groundballs.

A junior from Baldwinsville, N.Y., Hollenbeck picks up CSC Academic All-District accolades for the second consecutive year after posting a 3.91 cumulative GPA as a physical education major. On the field, she enjoyed her best collegiate season this spring by posting 25 goals with 10 assists for 35 points, adding 24 groundballs and seven caused turnovers. Hollenbeck will enter her senior campaign with 89 career points in a Bonnies uniform.

Now a three-time CSC Academic All-District honoree, McGovern graduates as one of the top players in Bonnies history. She stands second in Bona career points with 218 while her 125 goals are fifth-most in Bonnies program history and her 93 assists rank third among all Bona’s players. As a senior, the Cortlandt Manor, N.Y. native racked up 73 points (33G-40A) which stands third in Bonnies single-season history while her 40 assists tied the program record. She finished the year ranked second in the Atlantic 10 for assists and ninth in total points. Also a three-time A-10 10 All-Academic Team selection, McGovern graduated with a health science degree and a 4.0 cumulative GPA.

Nascimento, a native of Acton, Ontario, earned her degree in physical education this past semester with a 3.78 cumulative GPA. She also stood as one of the Atlantic 10’s top offensive players this year as she netted 55 goals along with 11 assists for 66 total points. She ranked sixth in A-10 goals this season and wrapped her collegiate career with 87 total points as a Bonnie in 48 career games.

Piper picks up CSC Academic All-District recognition for the second consecutive year after a season for the record books. Academically, the psychology major from Aurora, Ontario owns a 3.87 cumulative GPA. She similarly shined on the field, earning Atlantic 10 First Team and All-Academic Team honors as well as IWLCA Northeast All-Region with a program record 78 points this spring (68G-10A). She surpassed the record of 77 points set by Molly Hastrich which had stood atop the Bona’s record list since 2009 while her 68 goals also represent a new Bona record, passing the 62 totaled by Hastrich 16 seasons ago. Piper also racked up 84 draw controls, which beat her old program record mark, while she now stands sixth in Bona’s history for career goals (123) and 10^th for points (148). In the A-10 standings, she was second among all conference players in goals this year and seventh in points.

Schillinger also made program history by shattering SBU’s season and career draw controls records. Her 143 draw control wins during this year’s campaign are nearly double the previous Bonnies benchmark and she now owns a program-best 221 over her three seasons. The junior accounting major from Honeoye Falls, N.Y. boasts a 3.88 cumulative GPA academically. She posted the second-most draw controls among all Atlantic 10 players this year while also recording 12 goals and 16 points.

St. Bonaventure finished the season with a 10-8 record including a 6-4 mark in A-10 action and the six Academic All-District selections represent a new program-best.

CSC Academic All-District honorees are nominated and voted on by sports information directors across the country. For more information about CSC Academic All-District® and Academic All-America® Teams program, visit AcademicAllAmerica.com.

TEMPE – As Arizona State gears up for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Spanish discus standout Ines Lopez Arias and local sprinter Jayden Davis return this week to historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Both athletes individually punched their tickets to compete on college track’s biggest stage, qualifying through the NCAA West Regional held May 28-31 at Texas A&M.

Davis qualified in two events: first by winning his 400-meter heat in 45.35 seconds – the second-fastest time overall – then as part of ASU’s Big 12-champion 4×400-meter relay. The foursome of Davis, Nicholas Ramey, Trevin Moyer and Malik Franklin finished in 3:02.87, the sixth-fastest time at regionals.

Madrid native Lopez Arias, who spent her first two seasons at Western Kentucky University before transferring to ASU, looks forward to competing at nationals again. Lopez Arias earned her second straight nationals appearance with a throw of 54.39 meters, placing the senior among the top 12 in the women’s discus.

In 2024, she finished 17th in the women’s discus with a top throw of 54.54 meters. Lopez Arias hopes to better that mark and placement during her event Saturday afternoon, part of the NCAA championships held Wednesday through Saturday.

“First of all, it is a great blessing to have the opportunity to go to the NCAA Championships as it is the biggest accomplishment that you can have in American competition,” Lopez Arias said. “I already have an advantage in relation to last year, because last year was my first chance. I had never competed in that stadium. It’s a stadium that intimidates because it is a world class championship stadium.

“So I feel like last year, I was not as prepared in that sense as this year.”

Even though Lopez Arias dislocated her left shoulder one week before the Big 12 conference championship meet, the injury did not stop the confident right-handed athlete from continuing to excel as she threw her NCAA personal best (57.56 meters) at that meet.

Off the field, Lopez Arias says the experience of being an international college athlete in the U.S. can be stressful, especially in light of recent political rhetoric surrounding immigration and visas.

“I feel scared, honestly, as an international person in the U.S., especially being on a visa,” Lopez Arias said. “Like, I feel already in a very privileged position because I have a scholarship, I’m pursuing education, and I have everything on rule. I’m legally here, but no matter what, there’s always that fear that something can happen and they are like, ‘Hey, you have to leave the country.’ And so it’s a pretty stressful time.”

International athletes in the U.S. often face various challenges from a language barrier to a lack of community. By transferring to ASU, Lopez Arias has not only enhanced her athletic performance, but also found ways to impact and befriend fellow foreign athletes.

“There are a lot more international students and athletes than I had at my other school. I’m also part of the international student-athlete committee at ASU, trying to help others be more aware of things that I probably wasn’t aware of for so many years,” Lopez Arias said.

“I have been helping them know how to do things they can take advantage of, but also warning them of things they should not do in order to put their visas at risk because we don’t want anyone to fail to follow the rules and have to leave the country.”

The talented discus thrower has benefited greatly from working with Turner Washington, ASU’s first-year women’s throws coach. Washington is no stranger to success as he won five NCAA championships (three shot put, two discus) during his extraordinary athletic career as a Sun Devil. After a brief professional career, Washington is fully immersed in his new coaching role.

As someone who has ascended to the top of this sport, he knows what sets Lopez Arias apart from other female college discus throwers.

“She survived those high pressure situations, and I think that’s really what separates her from some of those other girls,” Washington said. “When you get in those last rounds to throw, where you’re not qualified, she always seems to pull through and get it done when it matters most.”

In order for her to achieve All-American status and a podium placement at nationals, Washington said that Lopez Arias will have to throw near or slightly over her personal best, a difficult but not impossible task.

While she will be battling it out in the discus cage, Davis and his 4×400-meter relay mates will be representing ASU on the track. Davis, a sophomore from Gilbert, is no stranger to Hayward Field as he was part of ASU’s 4×400-meter relay team that came in fourth last year.

Davis has set personal bests in both indoor and outdoor 400-meter races this year. His outdoor personal best time of 44.84 seconds in a runner-up finish at the Mt. SAC Relays in April cemented him as the sixth-fastest men’s 400-meter runner of all time.

Fresh off a strong performance at regionals, Davis exuded confidence that he and his teammates can carry over their success to nationals.

If either athlete or the 4×400-meter relay team strikes gold at Hayward Field, it would be a fitting exclamation point to a banner year for ASU athletics and a transformative moment in each athlete’s career.

“The goal is definitely to go out there and win and compete,” Davis said. “I believe that I am the best 400-meter runner in the NCAA. So my goal is to just go out there, execute and win gold and I know all our guys think that we are the best relay in the 4×400-meter. So we’ve been training like it, and I think that’s going to be the mission going to Oregon.”
