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. 

LSU has won the most women’s titles with 14. The next-closest is Texas with five.

No. 3 Rogers 3, No. 6 St. Paul Central 2: What an incredible way to open the first-ever state tournament. This was tense and close from the start as each team had dazzling displays of power in a match that lasted more than two hours. Rogers built a two-set lead, but watched as scrappy St. Paul Central battled back to tie and force a deciding set. That was dramatic as well before the Royals (26-1) completed it for a 25-21, 25-21, 23-25, 21-25, 15-13 victory. 

“We are very grateful to be the first team to win,” Rogers head coach Jarol Torres said. “It’s special.”

Junior right-side setter Ethan Pearson powered the Royals with 26 kills, and senior outside hitter Landen Holterman added 17. 

St. Paul Central senior outside hitter Josiah Walker had 24 kills, including the first one in state tournament history. The Minutemen (21-6) said they felt the strong support in the crowd and beyond. 

“We weren’t just playing for Central,” first-year coach Georgia Tilton said. “We were playing for the entire City of St. Paul.”

No. 2 Eastview 3, No. 7 Hopkins 2: Eastview, the Section 1 champion, took control from the start en route to posting a 25-17, 25-12, 25-19 victory over Hopkins in the second match of the day. Junior outside hitter Jay Thammavongsa had 15 kills and junior setter Brice Dehnel had 27 assists. Eastview (28-3) has not lost a set in four postseason matches. 

“We knew coming in here that if we executed, we’d be OK,” Lightning coach Ryan Dehnel said. “If we fell asleep, we knew we’d be in trouble.”

Senior outside hitter Owen Barnett had 12 kills to lead Hopkins (17-9).

Eastview’s victory sets up a championship semifinal with Rogers. The two did not meet during the regular season. 

No. 4 Spring Lake Park 3, No. 5 North St. Paul 1: Spring Lake Park head coach Shelly Deegan wasn’t overly concerned about her team’s mindset entering the inaugural Boys Volleyball State Tournament. Even after dropping the first set to the Polars, she remained confident. So did her team. 

“There was an uneasy calmness, but they started coming alive,” she said.

The Panthers certainly did by rattling off three consecutive victories on the way to a 17-25, 26-24, 25-20, 25-18 victory in the third quarterfinal. Senior outside hitter Remi Xiong paced the Panthers (24-7) with 15 kills, and junior outside hitter Atticus Molitor chipped in with 11. Senior setter Hector Ly had 19 assists as the Panthers avenged a 2-1 loss to North St. Paul during an invitational on May 17. 

North St. Paul (25-3) got 12 kills from senior Chi Nou Vaj and 10 each from senior Evan Thor and senior Roman Thao. 

“Errors started showing up,” Polars’ coach AJ Vang said of the loss in the second set. “Nothing was going our way.”

No. 1 Eden Prairie 3, No. 8 Park Center 0: Top-seeded Eden Prairie looked the part in a 25-19, 25-18, 25-14 victory over Park Center. Senior outside hitter Gabriel Hernandez powered the Eagles (25-2) with 11 kills in the match that took just 1 hour, 12 minutes. Senior setter Deion Lange dished out 32 assists. 

The victory sends the Eagles into the semifinals where they will face Spring Lake Park. Eden Prairie defeated Spring Lake Park in two sets during an invitational on May 3. 

Park Center (13-9), the Section 5 champion, was paced by senior Payton Xiong, who had seven kills and senior setter Titus Lee, who had 19 assists. 

Pueblo, Colo. – June 10, 2025 — The Colorado State University-Pueblo men’s and women’s track and field programs have solidified their status among the NCAA Division II elite as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced the final 2024-25 Program of the Year standings on Tuesday.

The ThunderWolves men’s team earned a No. 7 national ranking in the Damon Martin Program of the Year standings, which reward consistency and excellence across cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track seasons. The men totaled 43 points—accumulated by placing 14th at the NCAA Division II Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Championships—proving the squad’s balance and competitiveness throughout the academic year.

CSU Pueblo’s success was once again anchored by standout senior Reece Sharman-Newell, who delivered exceptional performances across all seasons. In cross country, he led the ThunderWolves with a 31st-place All-American finish at nationals in Sacramento, clocking 30:17.7 in the 10K. Sharman-Newell followed that up indoors by becoming the national runner-up in the mile, breaking the 4-minute barrier with a time of 3:59.56. He also anchored the All-American distance medley relay (DMR) squad that placed fourth, alongside Jon Sweepe, Tyrell Smith, and Kaleb Tipton.

During the outdoor season, Sharman-Newell capped his year with a National Championship victory in the 1,500-meter run in front of a home crowd at the CSU Pueblo ThunderBowl. Additional All-American efforts came from Tim Anstett, who took fifth in the men’s 800-meter, and Jon Sweepe, who joined Sharman-Newell on the All-American list in the 1,500-meter.

On the women’s side, the ThunderWolves soared to fourth place in the Jerry Baltes Program of the Year standings—marking a historic year across all three seasons.

In cross country, CSU Pueblo notched its highest-ever finish with a third-place team performance at the national meet in Sacramento. The ThunderWolves saw three athletes earn All-American honors, led by mid-distance star Helen Braybrook, who finished 13th in the 6K (20:54.5). First-year sensation Leah Keisler, a Scottish native competing in her first-ever cross country season, stunned with a 20th-place finish and All-American accolades.
 

The women maintained their momentum indoors, taking sixth place at the NCAA Championships. Braybrook, the highly decorated veteran runner for the ThunderWolves showed that hard work eventually pays off. The Brit took home her first ever Individual NCAA Title, winning the 800 Meters with a time of 2:04.72. 

Katherine Higgins recorded a personal best in the Shot Put, picking up a mark of 15.78 to bring home second place, while Febe Wessels etched her name into CSU Pueblo history as well, as the South African finished in fifth place in the Shot Put, also throwing a personal best and a mark of 15.39. 

The DMR squad of Jadyn Herron, Gabrielle Dunich, Leah Keisler, and Helen Braybrook have officially etched their named in NCAA and CSU Pueblo history, as the four women led the Pack to a National Championship. While the Pack were the favorites to win the championship coming in, the four women did not let that get to their head, winning by more than five seconds.

The season concluded outdoors with another program-best, a ninth-place finish at the Outdoor National Championships on home turf in Pueblo.

Senior Katherine Higgins headlined the day, closing her collegiate career in storybook fashion. Higgins was named the Elite 90 award winner for having the highest GPA (a perfect 4.0) among championship competitors, then topped that achievement by capturing her first individual National Championship in the women’s shot put. She threw a personal best of 16.38m to earn her sixth All-American honor.

n the women’s 800m, Pueblo’s favorite Brit, Helen Braybrook—already a local legend and a likely future Olympian for Great Britain—ran a personal best of 2:03.67 to finish as national runner-up. She was joined on the podium by Scottish junior Leah Keisler, who took seventh in 2:07.07, earning All-American status.

Back in the shot put ring, junior Febe Wessels of South Africa continued her consistent excellence, placing fifth with a throw of 15.44m and adding another All-American performance to her résumé.

Freshman Keturah Templeman capped off her record-breaking debut season in the women’s javelin, finishing ninth with a mark of 46.18m—adding to a historic freshman campaign for the young ThunderWolf.

The 2024-25 campaign represented a year of firsts and milestones for the ThunderWolves. Under the guidance of their coaching staff and the leadership of student-athletes like Sharman-Newell, Braybrook, and Keisler, CSU Pueblo has established itself as one of the most complete and consistent programs in NCAA Division II.

With historic finishes, national titles, and a haul of All-American honors, the ThunderWolves’ success this year will be remembered as one of the finest in program history

Victoria Cameron wasn’t supposed to be here.

At least, that wasn’t the plan initially, with the Tarleton State University sophomore hardly envisioning a future at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships coming out of Stephenville High School.

Didn’t matter that Cameron came up just seven-hundredths of a second short of Sha’Carri Richardson’s Class 4A 100 meter record at the UIL State Outdoor Championships in May of 2023. Nor did it matter that anyone with eyes could see she had an innate ability to run fast.

Cameron had already committed to play soccer at Tarleton State, just a couple miles down the road from where she grew up.

And two years ago, she was committed to it.

But then, maybe a month before her college start – or maybe as she put her hands on the fence overlooking the pasture at home where her family’s favorite cow grazed – things flipped.

“I realized I couldn’t really leave track,” said Cameron, who lives about four miles from her college campus, in a town of just over 20,000. “Like, there was this attachment to it.”

What a decision that turned out to be.

Victoria Cameron Emerges Over The 2025 Track Season

As Tarleton State made its full-fledged transition to the NCAA Division I in July of 2024, Cameron exploded as a track athlete in 2025, reaching indoor nationals in March before another national qualification came in May.

“(I) just want to put my hometown college on the map,” she said.

Cameron enters the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon with the eighth-fastest wind-legal time in college at 11.01 seconds, securing that effort at the NCAA Division I West First Round in College Station.

Still, there’s a star quality that seems to encircle her.

Take a moment from regionals, for instance. Cameron was recognized inside a restaurant …in College Station, Texas.

“It just makes me happy to have seen that,” she said. “Like, if my name’s out there, my college’s name is out there.”

Tarleton State’s Talented Athlete Is Biding Her Time

That being said, Cameron currently splits her time between two sports.

This fall, she logged 230 minutes in 18 games with the Tarleton State’s women’s soccer team, scoring a goal and generally cutting her teeth in the collegiate game. A few years ago, University of Kentucky track and field legend Abby Steiner did the same.

On the track, however, Cameron is an exceptional sprinter.

From her first outing at 100 meters at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in March to her most recent performance at the Regional Championships – a timeline spanning six meets – Cameron only got better with time, clocking progressive performances of 11.33, 11.25, 11.05 and 11.01 over her last four meets.

In the same venue where she won a state-championship winning 100 meter time of 11.35 seconds in 2023, Cameron ripped off a wind-assisted 11.09 inside Mike Myers Stadium. A few weeks later, in Denton, Texas, she ran a wind-legal 11.22.

“I love seeing my times go down over time,” she said. “Nothing feels better than having a PR so, I don’t know, my love for the sport just kind of helps put everything in place.”

In May, Cameron was named the WAC Conference’s women’s track athlete of the year. This weekend will mark the first time over the outdoor season she will race outside Texas.

The bigger question lies in wake: Will she be able to break 11 seconds?

Victoria Cameron Is Moving Closer To History

Cameron is on the cusp of a barrier that few women in college history have ever reached. Her career best 11.01 is 71st in U.S. history and she’s just outside the NCAA’s top 25 all-time performances.

“As soon as I got to the line, I had an overwhelming feeling of just being able to lock in,” Cameron said of her race. “And then when I came out of the blocks, I kind of knew I was behind, but the biggest key to that race was just having patience throughout it all.”

That being said, the college sophomore isn’t perfect. In the prelims at indoor nationals in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a poor start hindered her first 20 meters and she suffered at the line, running 7.38 seconds–a little over two-tenths off of her career-best 7.14.

Cameron said her focus this spring has been about fixing those issues. She’s been working on block starts and her reaction time.

While the first variable is physical, the second is in some ways mental.

“My reaction time over the season has proven to be a hit or miss – either I’m last out of the blocks, or I’m right up with everyone,” she said. “So I could definitely improve.”

Can The College Sophomore Win An NCAA Title?

It would be unfair to say that Cameron is the favorite heading into nationals.

Four women enter NCAAs with season bests under 11 seconds – TCU’s Indya Mayberry, LSU’s Tima Godbless, Ohio State’s Leah Bertrand and Florida State’s Shenese Walker – while Cameron would have to secure two nearly perfect races across two rounds to claim victory.

But there’s no doubt she’s chasing the moment.

On Thursday, she’ll bring the Tarleton logo to Tracktown, a revered site for track and field greatness.

“As my coach would say, ‘I don’t want it to be a ‘Tarleton-Question-Mark,’ I want it to be a ‘Tarleton-Exclamation-Point,’” Cameron said. “That’s the goal here.”

Leaving her indoor performance behind her, Cameron insists anything can happen this weekend in Eugene. The first objective is reaching the final. The second will be to give herself a shot to win it.

“I believe really anything is possible within track and field due to the fact that it’s not a very forgiving sport,” she said. Indoors, the girl with the fastest time ended up false starting, so anything can happen. So you just gotta give it your all and believe that you’re going to win it before you run it.

What To Know Ahead Of The NCAA Outdoor Track And Field Championsnhips

Nationals begins on Wednesday starting at 1:30 p.m. at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. You can follow live results here.
