OSHKOSH, Wis.- The UW-Oshkosh women’s track & field team kicked off its season on Saturday (Dec. 6) by hosting the annual Early Bird Invitational/Multi at Kolf Sports Center. In the non-scoring meet, the Titans won six events.
 
The pentathlon kicked off the season for the Titans on Friday night and was highlighted by a second-place finish by Halle Meyer (Kiel/Kiel), who scored 3,096 points.
 
The Titans started off strong in Saturday’s full day of events as Ella Kojis (Dousman/Waukesha South) won the 3,000-meter run in 10:52.79.
 
The Titans grabbed two more medals in the 400-meter dash, with Addie Baker (Delavan/Elkhorn Area) finishing second in 59.23 seconds and Maddy LaVoi (Ankeny, Iowa/Ankeny Centennial) finishing third at 59.30.

Lehman came back to win her second event of the day in the 800-meter run in 2:20.06. Adriana Garcia (Green Bay/Green Bay East) and Anabel Mitchell (Oshkosh/Oshkosh North) rounded out the events’ top three with Garcia finishing in 2:23.45 and Mitchell finishing in 2:27.24.

Thomas Crushes 5k School Record In Season Opener

Published

on


BOSTON, Mass. – A steady stream of PRs and new top-10 marks meant that Husky track was back. Washington had a group of a dozen distance runners, some of them just two weeks removed from the NCAA Cross Country Championships, racing on the famously fast oval at the BU Track & Tennis Center to kick off the 2025-26 indoor season.
 
The big UW highlight out of many at today’s Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener was new Dawg Chloe Thomas shattering the School Record in the 5,000-meters. Thomas, an All-American transfer from UConn, just last week took runner-up honors at the Canadian Cross Country National Championships, and she carried that momentum onto the track today with a PR time of 15:16.93.
 
That broke the Husky indoor 5k record by a massive 22 seconds. Haley Herberg set the prior record of 15:38.37 in 2024. Thomas’ time was also faster than the UW outdoor record of 15:22.81 set just last season by Amina Maatoug.
 
In a later 5k heat, Julia David-Smith dropped a 10-second indoor PR to jump up to No. 4 in school history behind just Thomas, Herberg, and Izzi Batt-Doyle. David-Smith ran 15:45.01 today in her first track race since July.
 
Another new Husky went out and broke a national record on day one. Freshman Chloe Symon, a Vancouver, B.C. native, knocked off a Canadian U20 indoor record that had stood since 1988. Symon ran 2:04.56 to take fourth in the 800-meters and set the new record. It also puts her up to No. 7 in Husky indoor history just one race into her career.
 
There was a third Chloe thriving today for the women’s team, as All-American Chloe Foerster ran the fastest 3,000-meters time of her career, going 8:56.22. That puts Foerster up to No. 3 in school history indoors.
 
First-year Dawg Jenica Swartz dropped an impressive mile season opener, taking fourth in the elite section in 4:35.67, just a second off the top-10 list. Mia Cochran, coming off leading the squad at NCAA XC two weeks back, opened her track season in the 3k with a time of 9:16.54.
 
For the men’s team, all six Huskies on the trip were focusing on the 3,000-meters. The top time came from transfer Reuben Reina, who went straight to No. 4 in school history with a run of 7:43.16.
 
Two more Husky men opened up with sub-8-minute runs. Tyler Bilyard, making his Husky debut, ran 7:55.80 for a PR, and redshirt freshman Nathan Neil came across in 7:57.01. True freshman Josiah Tostenson opened up with a 8:03.31 and Thom Diamond clocked a time of 8:16.62. Freshman Owen Powell also raced today but served as a pace-setter in the 3k.
 
Next week will see many of the Husky jumpers, vaulters and sprinters get an early season test at the Spokane Invitational, on Saturday, Dec. 13. Then it’s a month-long break from competition for the end of the quarter and the holidays before the Dempsey

Cal Poly Volleyball topples No. 4 seed USC, advance to third round of NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years

Published

on


For the first time since 2007, Cal Poly Volleyball is advancing to the third round of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament, after upsetting No. 4 seed USC in a five-set match on Friday.  

With the 3-2 win, they claimed a spot in the top 16, also known as the “Sweet Sixteen,” and destroyed any remaining perfect tournament brackets in ESPN’s bracket prediction challenge.  

“That was an incredible performance by a group of people that love one another, that love this game and that have committed to something bigger than themselves,” head coach Caroline Walters said.  

The Mustangs have not faced the Trojans since 2012, where they lost in a 3-0 sweep. Ranking at No. 13 in the country and beating three ranked teams throughout the season, USC was favored in Friday’s match. Just like in Thursday’s upset win over BYU, Cal Poly defied the odds once again, ending the Trojan’s season.

The Mustangs started the match hot, winning the first two sets 25-19 and 25-20. With a shot at a sweep, the momentum was not enough as they fell to the Women of Troy in set three with a score 25-20, and again took a 25-14 loss in the fourth set, recording their worst offensive performance of the night with a hitting percentage of .079%.  

“I just kept saying to everyone, and I knew everyone else was saying it or thinking it in their heads, but we’re here for a reason,” redshirt senior setter Emme Bullis said. “We’re going to the fifth set for a reason.” 

Despite the back to back losses, the Mustangs came up big in set five, mirroring sets one and two and dominating USC 15-7 to send themselves to the next round of the tournament.

“I am in awe of my team,” Walters said. 

Fredrick and Beshear lead the charge

Two standout players for the Mustangs throughout the entirety of the season have been junior outside hitter Emma Fredrick and sophomore outside hitter Kendall Beshear. Through the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament their dominance has only increased. 

In Friday’s match both achieved double-doubles with Fredrick leading both the offense and defense with 17 kills and 17 digs, while Beshear notched 12 kills and 14 digs.  

During the season, Beshear led the Big West Conference with 52 service aces followed by Fredrick in the No. 3 spot with 37. The pair combined for three out of Cal Poly’s eight total service aces against USC. 

“Being able to go back there and knowing that I have the support of everyone around me to just go be free and be smiley and take a rip out of the ball … that’s what gives me the confidence to do what I can do,” Beshear said.  

Dominant on defense 

With a player earning a new career high in blocks and four players entering the double digits in digs, Cal Poly’s defense worked like a charm in helping them secure the upset win.  

Freshman middle blocker Charlotte Kelly was a force to be reckoned with at the net as she notched seven blocks, a career high and accounted for over half of Cal Poly’s blocks. Kelly is getting her first ever tournament action this season after she was moved up to the starting rotation when redshirt middle blocker Breklyn Pulling faced a season-ending injury over the summer.  

“I think Charlotte Kelly is the unsung hero of this group,” Walters said. “Her coming in as a true freshman and doing what she does is insane,”

Following closely behind Fredrick in defensive statistics, sophomore libero Elif Hurriyet claimed the second defensive spot in tonight’s match as she brought in 16 digs. 

Racking in 71 digs and 10 blocks, the Mustangs were able to hold the Trojans at an overall hitting percentage of .237%, just under their season. 

The Mustangs are up for a challenge as they will head to Kentucky to face No.1 seed University of Kentucky in the regional semifinals on Dec. 11 at 12:30 p.m. 

The Wildcats are on a 24 game winning streak and have an overall record of 27-2, only losing to No. 1 ranked University of Nebraska and No. 7 ranked University of Pittsburgh.
