Reno, Nev – Five Nevada Track and Field athletes qualified to compete at the 2025 NCAA Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships West Preliminary May 28-31 in College Station, Texas. The five qualifiers will be set to compete in a total of five events across the four-day meet.

The javelin squad will be well-represented in College Station with two athletes qualifying: Lilly Urban and Isabelle Steerman. Meekness Dogonayro qualified in the triple jump, sophomore sprinter Magdalene George will represent Nevada in the 100 meters and 200 meters, and Annalies Kalma qualified in the 400 meters.

The West Preliminary will be hosted by Texas A&M at E.B. Cushing Stadium. The selections for the preliminaries are based on the top-48 athletes declared in each individual event and the top 24 relay teams declared for each relay event. The top 12 qualifiers from each event will move on to compete at the NCAA National Championships held in Eugene, Oregon at Hayward Field June 11-14.

Urban is the top nationally ranked athlete through the outdoor season this year, sitting ninth in the NCAA following her throw of 56.89m at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships. Urban has broken the school record four times this year and will look to break it once again at the NCAA West First Round. 

Isabelle Steerman, a senior from Oregon, will be making her first appearance at the NCAA West First Round. Her season best of 46.42m at the Fresno State Invite, qualified her for the First Round, and she is coming off a near podium at the Mountain West Championships, placing fourth by less than 20 centimeters. 

Dogonyaro sits 21st in the NCAA, and is coming off second place in the triple jump competition at the Mountain West Championships. Dogonyaro sits #2 all-time in Nevada school history and is looking for just eight more centimeters to break the record. 

Magdalene George will be making a return to the NCAA West First Round, qualifying in both the 100m and 200m, after earning silver medals in both races at the Mountain West Championships. George is the school record holder in the 200m and #2 all-time in the 100m. She will be looking to qualify through to the quarterfinals for the second time in her Wolf Pack career as just a Sophomore. 

Annalies Kalma will be competing in the 400m competition at the NCAA West First Round, following her school record breaking season, where she ran a 52.71 at the LSU Alumni Gold to break the record. Kalma was part of the national championship qualifying 4x400m relay team, but will be looking to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in her individual career. 

The event will be live streamed on the ESPN+ and live results will be available at Flash Results.
