Nick Godbehere Moves To No. 10 On Cal’s All-Time Shot Put List

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Ten men from the California track & field team kicked off competition at the NCAA West Regional on Wednesday, going toe-to-toe with dozens of the nation’s top athletes across seven events at Texas A&M’s E.B. Cushing Stadium.
 
Garrett MacQuiddy was the first Golden Bear to earn a qualifying berth to Friday’s quarterfinals, posting a tremendous kick to place fourth in his 1500m first round heat and earn the auto-Q at 3:50.92. Johnny Goode joined him in Friday’s field later that evening, taking third place in his 400m first round heat with a to-the-wire third-place finish of 46.01.
 
Shot putter Nick Godbehere did not place among the top 12 overall to earn a spot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, but posted a PR of nearly one foot with a 17th-place mark of 18.69m (61-4) that topped the first two flights and was the 10th-best performance in program history.
 
Jason Plumb missed out on advancing to the NCAA Championships by just two places, finishing 14th in the long jump with a mark of 7.59m (24-11), while Tyler Burns tied for 15th in the pole vault at 5.17m (16-11.5) and Jared Freeman placed 17th in the hammer with a toss of 64.73m (212-4). Competing in the same flight as Burns, Parker Terrill tied for 26th place overall with a clearance of 5.02m (16-5.5), while Donovan Bradley ended his 2025 campaign with a 34th-place time of 13.99 in the 110m hurdles.

The title was OSU’s second under head coach Alan Bratton, who guided the Cowboys to a national championship in 2018 in Stillwater. Bratton was also victorious as a player (1995) and assistant coach (2006).

Additionally, the victory was OSU’s second in four championship match appearances since the implementation of the current format in 2009.

The second-ranked Cowboys ended the season on a five-tournament winning streak and won seven events overall on the year.

Freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson was outstanding once again in the lead match for OSU, taking down Maxi Puregger, 3 and 1, to put OSU’s first point on the board. Fahlberg-Johnsson improved to 3-0 for the match play portion of the event.

Fahlberg-Johnsson claimed the first and never trailed in the match. He stood at 3-up through nine before Puregger claimed the 12^th and 13^th to get within one. However, the Cowboy freshman bounced back with wins at 15 and 17 to secure the point.

Point No. 2 came courtesy of sophomore Gaven Lane, who put together a huge rally on the second nine against Paul Chang. Lane found himself 2-down through seventh before winning the eighth and ninth to tie the match. He would go on to win Nos. 12-15 to close out the match.

Virginia’s lone point came courtesy of Ben James’ 3-and-2 win over sophomore Preston Stout.

For the second day in a row, sophomore Eric Lee delivered down the stretch for OSU. After losing the fourth, Lee took the seventh and eighth in his matchup with Josh Duangmanee. After Duangmanee tied it at the 10^th, Lee won the 11^th and 12^th before Duangmanee took the next two. However, Lee would roll in a long birdie putt at the 17^th and closed the match on the final hole with an up-and-down from right of the green.

Sophomore Ethan Fang held a 1-up lead in his match against Bryan Lee through 15 holes when play was halted.
