PUEBLO, Colo.

– All-American runs by Tim Thompson and Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge closed out the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday.

Ramsey-Rutledge finished fifth in the women’s 5,000m, and Thompson was seventh in the men’s 800m. The Oredigger men closed the meet in 13th place with 19 points, while the women were 14th with 18 points. In all, the Orediggers earned eight podium spots at the meet including four medals. 

In the 800m final, Thompson started in the outside lane and got caught up at the back of the pack, closing in 1:50.98. Thompson initially crossed the line in eighth, but bumped up a spot to seventh place on a disqualification ahead of him. 

Ramsey-Rutledge stood on the podium for the second time in the meet, adding a fifth-place 5,000m showing to her 10K silver medal from Thursday night. Ramsey-Rutledge clocked 16:40.57 in a three-way sprint to the line for third. 

In the men’s 5,000m, Loic Scomparin worked his way from 20th place at the halfway mark of the race up to 10th, running 14:52.04 after a tough 10K run on Thursday. That marks a second-team all-America finish in his final race as an Oredigger. Dawson Gunn ran 15:30.40 for 22nd in the race. 

In the field, Dale Thompson cleared the opening bar of 3.77m before bowing out at 3.92m to place 18th in the pole vault. Kitt Rupar was 16th in the shot put with a 14.18m opening throw.
