EUGENE, Oregon — Victoria Cameron became the fifth Texan to earn All-American status on the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships at Hayward Field

Cameron earned Second Team All-American honors for the second time in her career. The sophomore clocked in at 11.30 seconds to finish in ninth overall in the women’s 100-meter dash. She earned Second Team All-American in the 60 meters earlier this season at the 2025 Indoor Track and Field National Championships.

“I’m so proud of this entire group, team and staff,” said head coach Bobby Carter after the conclusion of the meet. “The ladies came and did their thing amongst the best here. They proved today that we belong here and we belong at the top. To have our first appearance at the NCAA Championships and walk away with multiple All-Americans is outstanding. For Victoria to come out and be the only non-Power Four individual in the 100m final is impressive as well. We are all so proud of her and know that there’s more to come. Thank you Texan Nation for all of your support and we look forward to being at more championships and bringing back more hardware!”

For the second time at a national championship, Cameron’s heat had a false start in it. The first time she entered the blocks, she got off to a torrid start but was called back by the double fire of the gun. No athletes were disqualified, and the field was given a green card to start again. In the second start, she came out of the blocks and seemed to hold the lead at the beginning but was edged out at the end. The entire field of nine was separated by just 0.16 seconds. Cameron clocked in at 11.30 seconds with the champion, USC’s Samirah Moody winning in 11.14.

The Texan women scored 1 point at the NCAA Championships to finish in the top 65. The Purple and White joined Utah Valley as the only WAC schools to score in the event. Tarleton State was just one of 21 non-Power Four programs to register at least one point. The Texans scored more points than 13 non-Power Four conference programs that did not score at the meet.

Cameron concludes the week that also included four other Tarleton State All-American performances.

Lokesh Sathyanathan became the first Tarleton State Texan to earn Division I All-American honors at the NCAA Championships with a fifth-place finish in the long jump. He became the first Indian-born athlete to ever place in the top eight in the event in NCAA Championships history. His best jump of 7.83 meters topped all non-Power Four jumpers.

Prestina Ochonogor was the second Texan to earn First Team All-American recognition. The freshman posted a best leap of 6.41 meters to land on the podium for the second time in her career after a First Team All-American performance in the long jump at the Indoor Championships earlier this year. Ochonogor was one of four athletes to earn First Team All-American honors at both the Indoor and Outdoor National Championships.

The women’s 4×100 relay consisting of Hanna Dudley, Lauren Roy, Ochonogor and Cameron earned Second Team All-American honors after finishing 15^th overall. The Texans finished ahead of nine Power Four programs while finishing sixth in their heat in 43.74 seconds. The crew was one of only two non-Power Four programs in the field of 24.

Sir Jonathan Sims earned Honorable Mention All-American in the men’s triple jump on Friday. Sims competed in the triple jump for the second consecutive year. A season ago, the Arizona transfer was one of only four jumpers to compete in both the long and triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Sims best leap of 15.07 meters ranked 20^th earning him honorable mention for the second consecutive year.

The men’s team finished in the top 55 in their first appearance at the outdoor championships. The team’s four points ranked second among WAC programs and was the 12^th best among non-Power Four institutions.

With the conclusion of the NCAA National Championships, the collegiate season for the Texans has ended, but many athletes will be busy this summer. Many Texans will continue their season at their country’s national championships, the World University Games, and possibly the 2025 World Championships. The Texans have finished a historic season, but the individuals will look to represent the Purple and White on the global stage.

The 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship came to a close on Saturday with Georgia securing the women’s national title.

Sixteen finals took place and six Ducks competed at Hayward Field on Saturday.

The day began with Fresno State’s Cierra Jackson setting a meet record in the women’s discus with a 65.82-meter throw.

Later, the track events began with the women’s wheelchair 100 meters. American Paralympian Hannah Dederick clocked in at 16.50 to secure first place for Illinois in a preview of what’s to come at the Para National Championships coming to Hayward in August.

Oregon’s biggest chance to string together points came in the 1,500 meters, where Silan Ayyildiz, Klaudia Kazimierska and Mia Barnett all made the final.

The stacked field featured a physical race, with bumping and little room to make a move to the front of the group.

“I’m glad I’m representing my school and I’m healthy,” Ayyildiz said. “It’s just, the 1500 when it comes to the race, you have to fight.”

Ayyildiz tried to stay top three throughout, but the final 400 meters sped up, and she ended in fourth with a time of 4:09.75. Kazimierska finished just a spot behind her at 4:10.42.

“I wasn’t patient. I feel like I didn’t just run my best today,” Kazimierska said. “It was my last race out there at Hayward, so it’s just a very emotional moment for me.”

Sophie O’Sullivan recorded a personal best to come in first and give Washington a one-point lead over Georgia for the national title.

The Ducks catapulted into third place after the 100-meter hurdles. Junior Aaliyah McCormick picked up speed as the race went on to clock in at 12.81. She won the first and only event for Oregon at the outdoor championships in a race that had a did not start, did not finish and disqualified.

“Hurdles can be a very difficult race. You’re running and jumping at the same time, and that can be a little bit of an obstacle,” McCormick said. “I knew not to worry about anything else that is going around me, but to just stay close to my lane.”

Georgia and USC went back and forth for possession of first place in the team standings. Trojans’ senior Samirah Moody came in first in the 100 meters, with two teammates also finishing in the top eight. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, went one and two in the 400 meters.

Michigan’s Savannah Sutherland broke two-time 400-meter hurdles Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McClaughlin-Levrone’s record in the event, clocking in at 52.46 seconds. It was 1.80 faster than second-place and Georgia picked up more points with Michelle Smith in third-place.

The Ducks fell to tenth at the conclusion of the weekend. Ryann Porter tallied one point with her eighth-place finish in the triple jump and Annika Williams picked up a did not start in the final event of the heptathlon.

Even though USC secured second and third place in the 200 meters, the Bulldogs gained the points they needed to take home the National Championship. The 73-point performance was capped off with a win in the 4×400-meter relay. USC came in second and Texas A&M rounded out the top three.

The collegiate track and field wrapped up on Saturday, but there’s still more to come at Hayward Field this summer. The Nike Outdoor Nationals and USATF U20 Outdoor Championships are up next, slated to run June 19 through 22.

Pine Belt Residents Rally for "No Kings" Day Protest

Americans gathered across the country Saturday for the “No Kings” Day protest, voicing opposition to the current presidential administration and its policies. Approximately 2,000 protests and rallies were held nationwide, including one in downtown Hattiesburg.
Dozens of demonstrators assembled outside City Hall in Hattiesburg, carrying signs and wearing shirts to express their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s actions.
Protester Jeanne Gillispie said the demonstration was about unity and standing against hate.
“It helps us be out together with the people that are here,” Gillispie said. “Every time we have a protest there’s three or four times as many people as the last one. It’s about standing up for ourselves, standing up for our friends, standing up for our neighbors. It’s about being together, community and making sure that the hate is over.”
According to NPR, more than 200 organizations participated in the nationwide protest, including MoveOn, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Federation of Teachers and the Communications Workers of America.
Protester Chole Dobbins urged continued engagement.
“If you can show out and keep fighting,” Dobbins said.
The nationwide protest took place on the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C., organized by the Trump administration. The idea for the parade was initially proposed during Trump’s first term but was previously canceled due to cost concerns. The event is estimated to cost between $25 million and $45 million and includes 6,000 Army soldiers, 49 aircraft, 128 vehicles and 25 horses.

Fueled by strong showings in the 400 meters, high jump, hammer throw and javelin, the Georgia women’s track and field team ran away with its first outdoor national championship in program history.

The Bulldogs, with 73 points, finished ahead of second place USC (47) and third place Texas A&M (43) on Saturday, June 14, at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

It’s the third women’s NCAA track and field championship for fourth-year Bulldogs coach Caryl Smith Gilbert who also won national titles at USC in 2018 and 2021.

“Our field events came through, running events came through,” Smith Gilbert said on ESPN2 during the trophy ceremony before confetti went in the air. “We’ve been working for this moment the whole season.”

Olympic gold medalist Aaliyah Butler and Dejanea Oakley took the first two spots in the 400 meters with Butler posting a 49.26 and Oakley a 49.65. Butler’s time was the fifth best all-time for a collegian and Oakley was No. 8.

Georgia widened its lead when Elena Kulichenko won the high jump for the second straight year after tying for the title in 2024. The Odessa, Russia, native won with a jump of 6 feet, 5 inches.

Freshman Michelle Smith finished third in the 400 meter hurdles at 55.20 to clinch the team title. Skylynn Townsend took sixth in the triple jump at 44-4 1/4.

Georgia capped the night by finishing first in the 4×400 meter relay with Butler taking the lead in the final leg with a winning time of 3:23.62.

Georgia entered Saturday in the lead with 26 points after Stephanie Ratcliffe won the hammer throw on Thursday with a nation-leading distance of 234 feet, 2 inches.

“I’ve done my job,” she said. “I’ve kickstarted the team.”

The Melbourne, Australia, native also won it in 2023 before transferring from Harvard.

The Bulldogs also picked up points in the javelin with a second-place finish from freshman Manuela Rotundo and a fourth-place finish from Lianna Davidson. Senior Keslie Murrell-Ross was sixth in the shot put.

Washington and USC shared the lead at one point earlier Saturday night after Washington’s Sophie O’Sullivan won the 1,500 meters and USC’s Samirah Moody won the 100, but Georgia got 18 points from Butler and Oakley to jump back in a commanding lead and widened it.

The Georgia men this week finished 45th in the outdoor championship led by the high jump’s eighth-place finisher Eddie Kurjak.

The Georgia women won an indoor national championship in 2018 and the men won the 2018 outdoor national title.

Georgia also won the women’s tennis championship in Waco, Texas, earlier this spring, giving the school two NCAA championships this school year. Equestrian won a National Collegiate Equestrian Association title this school year.
