EUGENE, Ore. – Pete deJonge, Jacques Guillaume, Nathan Kent, Murphy Smith and David Walker each garnered All-America honors to close out the 2025 season for the Navy men’s track and field team at the NCAA Outdoor Championship on Wednesday night at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
 
“It wasn’t the day we wanted, obviously, but I’m really proud of the team,” said director of track and field Jamie Cook. “The ability to get here and perform on this stage is still an impressive accomplishment because not many people make it this far. I’m proud of these guys and the program. We’re going to learn from this and move on to get better.
 
“I also want to give special thanks to coach Aaron Lanzel for doing a great job, our operations coordinator Austin Balen and our athletic trainer Kayla Ruszin for going above and beyond to make everything smooth for these guys.”
 
Kent led the Mids when he earned Second-Team All-America honors in the 400m for the second-straight season. The rising senior from Rocklin, Calif., clocked the fourth-fastest time in program history (45.46) to place third in his semifinal heat and 10th overall.  He made a valiant push in the final 100m but came up just short of qualifying for the finals by two-hundredths of a second.
 
“It was a good effort by Kent today,” said Cook. “He really pushed himself in the final 100 meters. Obviously, we’re all a little disappointed that he just missed qualifying for the finals, but he still ran a great race.”
 
Smith made his NCAA Championship debut by placing 13th in the 10,000m final to earn Second-Team All-America honors.  The recent graduate recorded the 10th-best time in Navy history with a clocking of 29:18.39.
 
“Murphy [Smith] ran a tough last mile and posted a sub-14-minute split in the second half of the 5,000m, which was a really impressive performance,” said Cook.
 
The 4x400m relay semifinals closed out the first night of the championship. The team of 2025 graduate Guillaume, rising junior Walker, recent graduate deJonge and Kent recorded the fifth-fastest time in school history (3:06.81) to finish in seventh place in the heat and 20th overall.  The quartet, which earned Honorable Mention All-America recognition Wednesday night, has now combined to set five of Navy’s all-time top-10 4x400m relay times.
 
“We fell short of where I thought we could be in the 4x400m relay. It just wasn’t our night,” Cook added. “But that’s still a special group, and it’s a big accomplishment to fight and reach this stage.”
 
Kent totaled three All-America honors in his career, while deJonge, Guillaume, Smith and Walker all earned the accolade for the first time.
