COLLEGE STATION, Texas – No. 11 Texas Women’s Track and Field finished the last day of the NCAA West First Round and advanced six events to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The women’s 4×100-meter relay showed off a new lineup with Carleta Bernard, Holly Okuku, Kenondra Davis and Ramiah Elliott and recorded a season-best time of 42.85 to advance to Eugene.

Sophomore Akala Garrett advanced in both hurdle events for the first time in her career after recording a personal-best non-winded time of 12.98 in the 100-meter hurdles. She later set the E.B. Cushing Stadium record in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 54.72, the sixth-fastest time in UT history. Garrett will be the first Longhorn to compete at the NCAA Championships in both hurdle events in the same season since Rasin McIntosh competed in both events in 2003 and 2004.

Freshman Mackenzie Collins also reached the NCAA’s in the 400m hurdles, earning the last spot with a time of 57.14. It marks the second-straight season the Longhorns have sent a freshman to the NCAA Championships in the event after Garrett went last season.

Texas later sent two through in the 200-meter dash. Kenondra Davis equaled her personal best with a time of 22.58, moving her up to No. 10 on the school’s all-time performer list. Okuku qualified for her first individual NCAA event by matching her personal best with a time of 22.85, the 10th-fastest time of the night.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—CSUN Track & Field’s Summer Mosley concluded her stay at the NCAA West First Round on Saturday at E.B. Cushing Stadium by competing in the discus. 

Mosley would register her longest throw on her third and final attempt, which went for 50.09m (164-4). That throw would place her 38th overall out of a 48-athlete field, but short of advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Mosley also competed in the hammer throw this past Thursday at the regional, finishing 25th overall with a toss of 57.92m (190-0). 

A native of Miami, Mosley had a career season in her first year with CSUN. Mosley would win two individual titles at the 2025 Big West Championships, finishing first in the hammer throw at 59.66m (195-9) and the discus at 53.51m (175-7). The two title wins were her first conference titles in her collegiate career. 

Overall, CSUN was represented in nine different events at this year’s NCAA West First Round with six on the men’s team and three on the women’s team. The three regional appearances from the women were the most since the 2019 season. In all, CSUN broke three men’s records this outdoor season while 13 all-time top-10 marks were set across the men’s and women’s teams. 

ACCORDING TO COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON

“I’m proud of our performances this week, even though things didn’t fall our way, I know that each student-athlete put their all into their performances. And for that, I am thankful and proud of each and every one of them. From the outside looking in, some may see this as a failure, but we are all on a journey seeking greatness and sometimes you will fall. There are great lessons to learned in defeat. I believe these young men and women have what it takes to pick each other up and continue on our journey in search of greatness. We will be back next year physically, mentally and emotionally stronger because of the experiences we have gone through and our willingness to do what it takes to be great. Go Matadors!”

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Marquette University track & field student-athletes Danny Olsen and Annika Bynum competed in the NCAA West First Round this week.

Olsen competed in the first round of the 400m on Wednesday night with a 46.48 second performance. Olsen had the 47th best time coming into the first round and finished 25th.

“It was a fantastic year for Danny,” Rogers said. “I’m super proud of his drive and perseverance this year. Our athletic trainer Matt Martin deserves a huge shout out. He did a great job with Danny working through a couple tough injuries this season. We are all excited for what the future holds.”

Olsen qualified for the NCAA first round after he won gold and broke his own program record with a time of 46.21 seconds in the 400-meter at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships on May 17, becoming Marquette’s first ever conference champion in the event.

Bynum competed in the semifinals of the high jump for the second year in a row and no heighted on Saturday.

“It was a terrific season for Annika,” Rogers said. “Unfortunately, today wasn’t her day. She has been a tremendous leader on our team and made quite an impact on the program these past four years.”

Bynum qualified for the semifinals after tying the program record in the high jump, clearing 1.80 meters at the Uncaged Eagle Open on May 9.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Central Arkansas track and field teams spend four days competing down at Texas A&M’s campus in the first round of the NCAA Championship. And though none of the Bears’ athletes advanced to Eugene, those that competed continued to add to the rising stock of the track program at Central Arkansas.
 
“I’d be lying if we didn’t leave College Station wanting more this week. That being said, we had some great performances and competed well across the board,” Head coach Josey Weaver said of his team. “The experience we gained this week will be a building block for what’s to come.”
 
The men’s throwers started the week on Wednesday with the hammer toss, and Jaden Schneeberger led the way with a 63.53m toss, just .05 meters from tying his personal-best. Treavor Green was a short ways away with a 61.60m throw, and Aiden Patton registered a 58.59m toss. Jeff King took on the javelin in the early afternoon on Wednesday, and as one of nine freshmen in the competition, gave it a good effort, finishing with a distance of 57.36m. Jeremiah Boudreaux ran his heat of the 400m hurdles on Wednesday as well, and placed third in his heat with a 50.68 to qualify for Friday’s final.
 
Thursday, the women got started. Joia Perry opened competition in the hammer throw, and after what appeared to be a clinching distance of 62.22m, was edged out at the end, finishing 14^th out of 48 throwers. Raghan Allen was next, competing in the 100m dash. She set a school record with a blazing time of 11.38, but came up .05 seconds away from moving on to Saturday’s finals.
 
Friday’s action had Pete Johnson competing in the 3000m steeplechase. And in an event that saw the top-nine finishers break the facility record, the Bears’ senior ran an 8:57.59, two seconds faster than his time at the ASUN Championships, finishing in 25^th place. Later on in the evening, Boudreaux had his quarterfinal run in the 400m hurdles, but clipped one during his heat, unfortunately becoming disqualified.
 
Saturday, the women’s 4×100 team of Troynelle Miller, Raghan Allen, Baleigh Cashion and Brenae Allen had their second-best time of the season, clocking in at 45.35, but couldn’t secure a spot in Eugene.
 
“This has been an amazing ride with a remarkable group. I am very thankful for all of those who have contributed to building our program to the top of the ASUN Conference,” Weaver added. “We realize that we will have a target on our backs next year, and I’m looking forward to watching how our team responds.”
 

College Station, Texas — Laura Pellicoro is headed to Eugene. The senior earned her spot at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a strong performance in the 800m quarterfinal on Saturday evening at the West Regional.

Pellicoro placed second in her heat and third overall with a time of 2:01.44. She earned an automatic qualifying spot by finishing among the top three in her heat. She will compete on the national stage at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon on June 11–14.

Pellicoro will be joined in Eugene by Matt Strangio, who qualified yesterday in the men’s 5,000m after winning his semifinal in a facility record time.
