Day One Results
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (May 29, 2025) – Four Northern Arizona track and field athletes have qualified for the next round of the NCAA West Preliminary Round today in College Station, Texas.
LiNay Perry is on to Saturday’s quarterfinals in the 400-meter hurdles after breaking her own school record once again with a time of 57.40. She auto qualified by finishing third in her heat and placed 12th overall in the first round after entering the event ranked 17th.
She will race at 5:25 Mountain Standard time on Saturday, May 31.
All three Lumberjacks entered in the 1,500-meters advanced to Saturday’s quarterfinals by auto-qualifying in their heat. Maggi Congdon placed second in her heat with a time of 4:17.10 which was good for 12th overall. Alexandra Carlson raced in the same heat as Congdon and placed fifth, clocking 4:18.79 to place 17th overall. Keira Moore ran a near personal best of 4:18.80 to place fifth in her heat and 18th overall after coming in ranked 33rd.
Congdon is looking to punch her second-straight ticket to the National Championships in the 1,500-meters. The quarterfinals take place on May 31st at 3:15 p.m. Mountain Standard time.

College World Series; Women’s College World Series; NFL OTAs | 2MD
College baseball’s 64-team tournament is set to begin; the Women’s College World Series is down to 8 teams; Dolphins, Jaguars, Bucs OTAs.
Evan Puckett sent a message on May 29. Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan did, too. Then, Tima Godbless.
The recipient: The University of North Florida. The subject: The Hodges Stadium record books are about to need a fresh round of updates.
Stadium records tumbled early and often, while hometown athlete Julia Sue-Kam-Ling of Jacksonville University punched a breakthrough ticket to nationals in May 29 action at the NCAA Track and Field East First Round competition.
Beginning with Tennessee junior Puckett’s mark of 17 feet, 9 3/4 inches in the men’s pole vault, the nation’s top Division I college athletes from the nation’s eastern half earned top billing on day two over the latest bout of inclement weather.
Thunderstorms once again disrupted competition for more than two hours beginning at 4:38 p.m., forcing track officials to push back the women’s shot put and later flights of the women’s pole vault for another day.
In addition to JU’s Sue-Kam-Ling, who qualified from the unseeded second flight in the women’s long jump, University of North Florida senior Smilla Kolbe also continued her postseason quest with a dominant race in the women’s 800 meters.
The men’s pole vault, postponed from May 28 because of opening-day thunderstorms, set the tone.
Not only did Puckett surpass the previous facility record of 17 feet, 9 inches from Nebraska’s Tyler Loontjer in 2021, but four other vaulters topped the record as well: Georgia senior Nikolai van Huyssteen, Indiana State senior William Staggs, Ole Miss sophomore John Kendricks and High Point freshman Ricardo Montes de Oca.
Then it was the turn of Ole Miss junior Robinson-O’Hagan, who unleashed an attempt of 68 feet, 5 inches to win the men’s shot put while breaking the old Hodges Stadium mark of Florida’s Stipe Zunic (67 feet, 7 inches) from 2014.
Finished with the records? Not yet. Godbless, an Olympian for Nigeria in 2024 in Paris, then ran 10.91 for LSU in the first heat of the women’s 100. Moments later, Ohio State’s Leah Bertrand followed with a 10.92 that would have equaled the previous stadium best of Cambrea Sturgis from North Carolina A&T.
Appropriately, the night ended with a fourth facility record when N.C. State’s Grace Hartman ran 32:32.80 in the women’s 10,000, beating the 2021 mark of 33:06.83 from Alabama’s Mercy Chelangat.
Going by the numbers, JU junior Sue-Kam-Ling entered as a decided long shot to punch a ticket for the June 11-14 national finals in Oregon. She was competing from an unseeded flight, ranking outside the top 30 long jumpers in the event.
But the junior from Nesconset, N.Y. broke through on her third and final attempt, leaping 20 feet, 2 1/4 inches to climb into second place.
Sue-Kam-Ling then faced a tense wait as the meet’s 24 highest-seeded jumpers tried to overtake her mark. Only nine succeeded, leaving the Dolphin with the 11th of the 12 qualifying berths.
UNF’s Kolbe remained smoothly on course in her 800 heat, leading nearly wire to wire in 2:02.29. Her time ranked fifth among all first-round participants ahead of the May 31 second round.
Former Bishop Kenny runner Ka’Myya Haywood moved on with the No. 9 time in the women’s 800, but Kolbe’s UNF teammate, Ella Chandler, placed 39th in the race, one of several others with local ties not advancing to the next stage.
For JU, Cassidra Thompson placed 27th in the women’s 400 heats, only 0.13 from the last at-large spot, and Cassie Thompson came in 29th in the women’s 200, just 0.12 away. Also in individual events were Miami’s Brittney Jennings (Creekside, 41st in women’s 100 hurdles), South Florida’s Terren Peterson (Mandarin, 38th in women’s 200), Navy’s Layne Rivera (Bolles, 48th in women’s javelin) and South Florida’s Skyler Watts (Episcopal, 39th in women’s 400).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On Thursday afternoon, Ricardo Montes de Oca from the High Point University men’s track and field team represented the Panthers in the men’s pole vault at the NCAA East First Rounds. The freshman from Venezuela qualified for the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, becoming the first men’s pole vaulter to punch their ticket to the big dance.
The final 12 competitors advanced to the NCAA Championships in each field and Montes de Oca made the cut after clearing three bars. He opened the day at 5.03m, clearing it with ease on his first attempt. He continued his first attempt streak clearing the second bar at 5.18m.
Moving on to the third bar along with 15 other athletes, Montes de Oca missed on his first and second attempts. Not feeling any pressure as a young freshman at his first NCAA’s, he regrouped on his third attempt and sailed over 5.43m. He landed a spot in the top 12 and will advance to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, OR and will compete on Wednesday, June 11 at 4:35 p.m. at Hayward Field.
Brianna Malone competed in the women’s 1500m first rounds on Thursday afternoon. She paced with the front group of runners in the second heat and crossed the finish line in the top five to qualify for the quarterfinals. She clocked a 4:15.50 time. She will compete in the quarterfinals on Saturday, May 31 at 5:15 p.m. The top 12 athletes will move on to the NCAA Championships in June.
Due to weather delays, Emily Romano, Auriane Viola and Sydney Horn will resume the women’s pole vault on Friday at 9:30 a.m. Rachel Vesper and Jackson Tuomey also competed in the pole vault on Thursday and concluded their seasons.
On Wednesday, Drew Noblet represented the Panthers in the men’s javelin to jumpstart the events. He placed 32nd in his first-ever NCAA First Round appearance, launching the spear 62.13m on his birthday.
Weather delays halted the next events, pushing Justin Sluijter to a 10:00 p.m. jump as he registered a second jump of 7.32m to finish 20th. It was the Dutchman’s first time competing at the NCAA East First Round.
Camerin Williams wrapped up the opening day, running in the 800m at nearly midnight and advancing to the quarterfinals on Friday at 7:05 p.m. for a spot in Eugene. The freshman set a new personal best and program record with his third-place 1:47.11 finish.

University of the Pacific to Restart Men’s, Women’s Diving
The University of the Pacific last week announced a plan to revive its men’s and women’s diving programs starting in the fall.
The diving programs will join the formation of men’s cross country program, a men’s track and field program and an expansion of the women’s field program. The California university’s decision is a response to changes in collegiate sports, billing it as an “innovative expansion as part of a long-term plan to position Pacific as a leading competitor in the West Coast Conference while supporting the university’s enrollment initiatives.”
“We owe it to our student-athletes, campus and community to come up with a way to navigate these changes not by cutting, but by growing,” athletic director Adam Tschuor said in a university statement. “These sports additions are the first step in a plan of growth that will transform Pacific for the better—in enrollment, campus life, engagement and competitive success.”
Pacific has men’s and women’s swimming already. (Among its former coaches are Greg Meehan, Ray Looze and hall of fame water polo coach John Tanner.) Those programs are led by Katelyne Herrington, who has been in charge since 2019 and will oversee the diving addition. Herrington led the men’s team to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championship in 2025.
Pacific touted the move with praise from United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee executive vice president and chief of sport and athlete services Rocky Harris.
“I want to commend President Callahan, Director of Athletics Tschuor and everyone at University of the Pacific for taking a bold approach to collegiate athletics—one of support and growth,” he said. “The impacts of collegiate sport are far greater than performance, and Pacific recognized that offering broad based education and sport opportunities makes their student and university community stronger.
“It’s no secret that we believe in the power of sport and work hard to support its growth. At the same time, we understand the challenges of effectively allocating resources. Pacific has shown that these concepts can work successfully together—and I am thrilled for the current and future student athletes who call Pacific home.”
