PROVO — Sami Oblad never expected to be where she was Thursday night at the close of the first day of the NCAA Division I women’s outdoor track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon.

The senior from Stansbury Park — and a converted volleyball player turned former heptathlete and high jumper — became the first flat sprinter (100, 200 or 400 meter) to qualify for an NCAA final in BYU women’s track history when she advanced out of Thursday night’s semifinals at Hayward Field.

Oblad, who is scheduled to race in the 400-meter finals Saturday night, clocked the third-fastest time of her career in 51.20 seconds to finish eighth and become the first BYU female sprinter in seven tries to make a final.

“I never expected to be here,” Oblad said after her race. “I’m glad that hard work is paying off, and it’s putting me where I want to be. … I’ve been on the verge of tears all day. I’m very emotional right now.”

Oblad was one of four BYU women to advance to Saturday’s final for one of the premier distance running programs in the country. The others were more natural to the Cougars’ historic legacy, though.

Meghan Hunter broke the two-minute barrier for the third time in her storied career to finish fourth in the 800-meter semifinals in 1:59.96 and advance to Saturday’s final.

Lexy Halladay-Lowry and Taylor Lovell both qualified in the 3,000-meter steeplechase — arguably the university’s most accomplished event, where men’s teammate and U.S. Olympian James Corrigan will race for a championship Friday night.

Halladay-Lowry eased to a third-place time of 9:36.24 as the senior from Meridian, Idaho looks to add a sixth first-team All-America honor, and Lovell after clinching a spot with a personal-best time of 9:37.97 — the No. 3 mark in BYU history.

The duo will compete at 5:38 p.m. MDT Saturday for a spot on the podium, and they’ll be joined by Utah State’s Shelby Jensen.

The sophomore from Saratoga Springs advanced to the first national final of her career in 9:38.01, a fifth-place finish in her heat and 10th overall. Jensen is the first Aggie woman to advance to the finals of an NCAA outdoor championship race since Cierra Simmons-Mecham in the steeplechase final in 2018.

“She executed the race like a pro and responded when girls went by her in the latter half of the race,” Utah State coach Artie Gulden said of Jensen. “She responded and was able to follow them and just compete like crazy over the last two laps.”

Oblad will be the fifth BYU 400-meter runner to race in a final this year, but the first in an open race. The men’s 4×400-meter relay squad — led by Oblad’s fiancé Eli Hazlett — qualified with the last spot in Wednesday’s semifinals to earn a title bid.

“That definitely got me more amped,” Oblad said. “If all my training partners were doing it, then I just had to join them.”

Four BYU women contested finals Thursday, including the 1,500-meter duo of Riley Chamberlain and Carlee Hansen who finished back-to-back. Hansen, the junior from Bountiful who transferred from North Carolina before setting the program record at the NCAA West prelims in 4:07.64, finished 15th in 4:12.35 — officially .08 seconds behind Chamberlain, a junior from Loomis, California.

Both earned second-team All-America honors.

Gretchen Hoekstre added a 21st-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 15.88 meters (52 feet, 1.25 inches), and freshman Tessa Buswell was 21st in the 800 in 2:05.94.

Kelsi Oldroyd became the first-ever All-American from Utah Valley in the javelin with her eighth-place throw of 56.37 meters (184-11), capping a banner season that included a third straight WAC outdoor javelin title and a national semifinal for the third consecutive season.

Utah’s 4×100-meter relay squad, led by Emily Rose, closed out the season just .02 from breaking their own school record, finishing in 43.86.

Morgan Jensen and McKaylie Caesar finished neck-and-neck in the 10,000-meter run in 33:11.05 and 33:34.36, respectively, for 19th and 20th overall.

While Thursday’s competition was mostly about the women, two dozen athletes wrapped up the men’s decathlon. That included BYU junior Ben Barton, who posted a sixth-place finish with 7,777 points for first-team All-American honors.

Barton is the highest-placed finisher in the decathlon from BYU since Curtis Pugsley also placed sixth in 2000. He briefly moved up to second behind Mississippi State star Peyton Bair with a 14.22 110-meter hurdle and a discus throw of 36.86 meters (120-11).

BYU sophomore Jaden Roskelley finished 19th with 7,475 points, including the second-best mark in the discus with a hurl of 45.72 meters (150-0). Bair added to his indoor multi-event national title with a first-place finish and a personal-best 8,323 points with first-place finishes in the 100 (10.25) and 400 (46.00).

** During the month of July, EIUPanthers.com looks back at 14 events, moments and players that helped shape the 2024-25 academic year. **

For the first time since being started in 1982 the Eastern Illinois Athletic Department inducted teams into its Athletic Hall of Fame. The first team induction took place for the Class of 2024 as nine historic teams were the first to be inducted during the 2024 EIU Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday, September 27 at Groniger Arena.

The teams inducted include the Panthers six national championship teams along with three AIAW era women’s teams that each advanced deep into their respective national tournaments. Listed below is quick information on each of the teams that were inducted including the 1968 Men’s Cross Country, 1969 Men’s Cross Country, 1969 Men’s Soccer, 1974 Men’s Outdoor Track & Field, 1977 Men’s Cross Country, 1978 Football, 1980 Volleyball, 1981 Women’s Basketball and 1982 Softball teams.

1968 Men’s Cross Country

Under legendary coach Maynard “Pat” O’Brien, Eastern Illinois won its first national championship of any kind as the Panthers claimed the NCAA College Division National Championship held in Wheaton, Ill. The Panthers scored 99 points to win the championship by 31 points over runner-up Minnesota State Mankota. MIT was the third place finisher followed by Western Illinois and UC Davis. The Panthers top finisher was Larry Mayse who finished in 7th place with a time of 25:37.

1969 Men’s Cross Country

The Panthers successfully defended their 1968 National Championship in 1969 as O’Brien again coached EIU to a dominating defense. The Panthers scored 84 points to out-distance runner-up Eastern Michigan by 62 points. Cal State Chico was third followed by Illinois State and Humboldt State. The championship again held in Wheaton, Ill., featured top performances by Marty McIntire (3rd overall) and Dike Stirrett (4th overall).

1969 Men’s Soccer

It what proved to be a banner year for men’s sports at EIU, the Panthers soccer team under the guidance of head coach Fritz Teller captured the NAIA National Championship ending the year with a 13-2-1 record. EIU ended the season with four consecutive shutouts including a 1-0 win over Davis and Elkins in the National Championship match. Freshman Gerardo Pagnani scored the only goal in the championship knocking home the national championship winner in the waning minutes of overtime.

1974 Men’s Outdoor Track

Holding serve on its home track, Eastern Illinois won its fourth school national championship as the Panthers won NCAA College Division National Championship at Lincoln Stadium (now O’Brien Stadium) in Charleston. The Panthers scored 51 points to edge Norfolk State and Cal Poly in the team standings. The team was coached by Maynard “Pat” O’Brien giving him his third national championship at EIU. Darrell Brown was the only EIU athlete to place first at the national meet winning the long jump with a leap of 25’07.25″ feet.

1977 Men’s Cross Country

Under head coach Dr. Tom Woodall, EIU returned to the national championship stage in cross country winning the title by one of the largest margins in NCAA history. EIU scored just 32 points as four runners placed in the Top 14 lead by Joe Sheeran in second place and Casey Reinking in fifth. The Panthers nearest challenger was South Dakota State with 151 points, a 119 point difference. Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Minnesota State Mankota were tied for third.

1978 Football

A Cinderella story if there ever was one… The EIU football thought to be on its death bed and fighting not be eliminated as an intercollegiate sport made its first foray into the NCAA playoffs it’s most memorable. Under first year head coach Darrell Mudra, EIU went from a 1-10 program in 1977 to a 12-2 team in 1978. Poke Cobb rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown early in the fourth quarter and Delaware kicker Brandt Kennedy missed a 45-yard field goal with nine seconds left as EIU won 10-9. The defense held the Blue Hens vaunted Wing-T offense to only 155 yards rushing while linebacker Ray Jeske made 21 tackles in the game.

1980 Volleyball

The EIU volleyball team made the Panthers first splash on the national stage as a women’s team when they posted a school record 43 wins advancing to the AIAW Division II National Tournament. Under second year head coach Lynette Nevins, the Panthers received an at-large berth at the Midwest AIAW Tournament and then locked up an at-large bid to the National Tournament. The team would go 1-2 in pool play with a win over College of Charleston before loses to Central Florida and eventual national runner-up Hawai’i Hilo. The program would transition to the NCAA Division I level two seasons later winning 36 matches in their inaugural NCAA season.

1981 Women’s Basketball

The EIU women’s basketball program caught fire in the latter part of the 1981 season as they won 18 of 19 games including capturing the Illinois AIAW Tournament Championship as they earned an at-large berth to the AIAW National Tournament. The Panthers won three straight games to win the IAIAW Championship and then placed second at the Midwest AIAW Regional. Earning an at-large tournament berth, EIU beat Colorado College in the opening round of the tournament 77-69 before losing to William Penn in the Elite Eight round. EIU finished the season with 25-8 overall record under the direction of head coach Barbara Hilke.

1982 Softball

In the final year of AIAW membership the EIU softball team made the deepest national tournament run by a Panthers women’s team as they posted a school record 45 wins as they finished third in the nation. Head coach Deanna D’Abbraccio led the team through the loser bracket which included a 21-inning win over Portland State to get the consolation bracket final. EIU would lose that game bringing home the 3rd place national finish. At the World Series EIU picked up an opening round win over Central State before losing to eventual national champion Northern Iowa. EIU added elimination game wins over Ithaca College, Nicholls, Nevada and Portland State before being eliminated by SIUE.

Records galore: Six things to know about the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore

[SINGAPORE] Not long after sundown on Thursday (Jul 10), President Tharman Shanmugaratnam declared the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore open, kickstarting 24 days of action that will, in all likelihood, see some record-breaking feats in the pool.

At the opening ceremony held at the Esplanade’s Singtel Waterfront Theatre, he spoke of how the world of aquatics has seen “remarkable advances” in recent years, as records that were long unbroken – and even regarded as unbreakable in some instances – have been surpassed.

The 22nd World Aquatics Championships is also an opportunity to celebrate the “quiet but profound” way in which sport can unite people, even as we root for different teams.

“In a world increasingly divided, sport reminds us that we can strive together even as we compete, that we can demonstrate our common humanity,” said President Tharman.

Among the 500-plus guests in attendance were World Aquatics president and former Kuwaiti national swimmer Husain Al-Musallam, several Singapore ministers, and some of the athletes from all over the world.

The championships began on Friday morning with water polo and will finish with the final swimming and diving events on Aug 3.

Here are six things to know about the World Aquatics Championships:

A first for South-east Asia

Singapore is the first country in South-east Asia to host this championships, which is considered the second most prestigious aquatics event after the Olympic Games.

It was back in February 2023 when it was announced that the Republic would stage the 2025 edition, taking over from Kazan, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Three competition venues

Swimming and artistic swimming events will take place at the new 4,800-seater WCH Arena, which was built earlier this year on a former open-air car park next to the Leisure Park Kallang mall, a short walk from the National Stadium.

The other two competition venues are the OCBC Aquatics Centre, where diving and water polo will take place; and Palawan Green in Sentosa, where spectators can catch the open water and high diving events.

Record participation

There will be over 2,500 athletes from 206 countries and territories competing across a record 77 medal events in six aquatics disciplines: swimming, artistic swimming, diving, high diving, open water swimming, and water polo.

In a speech at the opening ceremony on Thursday, Husain also revealed that, for the first time, there will be more female swimmers than males at the global meet.

Singapore is fielding a total of 72 athletes, its largest contingent to date. The group includes 32 athletes who are making their debut at the championships.

Plenty of stars

It is a star-studded affair in Singapore, with Paris 2024 gold medal winners Leon Marchand, Summer McIntosh, Katie Ledecky, Thomas Ceccon and Kaylee McKeown all set to race in the pool.

Keep a lookout for Hungary’s Kristof Rasovszky, the current world and Olympic champion in the men’s 10 km open water swimming. For the women, Australia’s Moesha Johnson is one to watch. She won a silver in the 10 km open swim in Paris and is one of the favourites to claim her first individual world title in Singapore.

In diving, China made a clean sweep of all the gold medals at the Paris Games and at last year’s world championships. If all goes according to plan, the likes of women’s four-time 3-metre springboard world champion Yani Chang and the men’s 10-m champion Hao Yang will take gold in Singapore too.

In artistic swimming, Olympic champions China will probably dominate the team competitions once again. For the men’s solo and mixed duet categories, check out the teams from the US, Japan, Ukraine and Spain who are all expected to do well.

Emergence of more swimming medallists

At the last championships held in Doha last year, 29 countries won swimming medals, which was the deepest medal table in the event’s history. World Aquatics executive director Brent Nowicki is expecting to see that number surpassed in Singapore.

“The sport is really at that point where general dominance of individuals or countries is dissipating,” the American said at a press conference on Thursday.

“We are seeing more rising stars. Will we see more than 30 world records? I don’t know. Will we see more than 29 medallist countries? Yeah, maybe that’s what I expect. If we can pull that off, that would be a real testament to the growth of our sport.”

In Doha last year, the US won eight gold medals out of 20 overall in swimming, while China was second with seven golds from 11 medals.

More prize money

The Singapore edition will see athletes competing for a slice of a record prize money pool of more than US$6 million, with an additional US$30,000 world-record bonus in swimming. Last year in Doha, the total amount awarded was US$5.6 million.

Katie Guillory, who trains athletes on the LSU gymnastics and beach volleyball teams, suffered the accident on the Fourth of July. She later had to have her left leg amputated below the knee after doctors were unable to restore proper blood flow.

“She’s doing well under the circumstances,” Clark said Friday. “Her outlook is tremendous.”

A former LSU softball player from Carencro, Guillory posted a photo on her Instagram page on Thursday showing a group of athletes visiting her in her hospital room. She underwent surgery Sunday.

“My heart remains full!” Guillory posted of social media. “A great visit from my girls tonight who came with a gift basket to remember!”

Clark said Guillory will continue to work for LSU in the same capacity. In fact, she has continued to provide summer workout instructions for the gymnastics team.

“She’s still very much engaged,” Clark said. “If you know Katie Gill, you know that she’s a beast of a person. As much of a go-getter as you will find.”

Guillory played softball for the Tigers from 2009-13. After working at Liberty and Illinois, she returned to LSU three years ago to work with gymnastics and beach volleyball.

The Future of the Democratic Party Is… Gulp… MN's Angie Craig?

Welcome back to The Flyover, your daily digest of important, overlooked, and/or interesting Minnesota news stories.

Angie’s List(ing to the Center)

Rep. Angie Craig (DFL-MN) is among 30 or so “prominent younger Democrats,” as Katie Gluek of the New York Times calls them, who’ve formed a new group determined to save their party from permanent minority status. (But they seem so comfortable in that role!)

Their diagnosis: The Dems need to become a “big tent” party and define what the party stands for. (Those seem like very different, and perhaps conflicting issues to me, but hey, I don’t get firehosed with cash for telling politicians what to say.) The group—which is also a PAC, of course—is called Majority Democrats, which strikes me as pretty weak name coming from branding-obsessed people.

Craig told the Times that anti-Trump sentiment, “might win a midterm election but it’s not going to build lasting majorities. We’ve got to lay out the case for what we’re for as a party.” And she ain’t wrong—there’s clearly a message vacuum at the center of the national Democratic Party.

But she’s also not defining “what we’re for as a party.” The story suggests that “affordability, safety and challenging the power of Big Tech” will be priorities for Majority Democrats (the name just rolls off the tongue). But I’m suspicious of Craig’s commitment to reining in tech’s power, considering how cozy she is with the crypto industry, and “safety” likely just means funneling federal money into law enforcement—a Craig speciality. As for affordability… well yes, but let’s hear some specifics.

Given the centrist bent of its members, Majority Democrats could easily become just a rebranded Blue Dog coalition. No matter how big the tent is, the left always winds up shivering outside in the cold.

Anyway, the publicity is good for Craig, 53 (I guess that means I too, at 55, am a “younger” Democrat to the Times), who’s running for the U.S. Senate in 2026. If Craig wins, Sen. Amy Klobuchar will become our state’s most-left-leaning senator.

Speaking of which, here’s a brand-new photo of Klobuchar posing with internationally beloved statesman and/or wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

Private Equity Is Coming for Minor League Baseball

Two years ago, the founders of the St. Paul Saints sold the minor league baseball team to the private equity firm Diamond Baseball Holdings. DBH owned “more than a dozen other minor league teams,” the Strib reported at the time. Today, Jen Ramos Eisen writes in Defector, the company owns 45 teams, or more than a third of all minor league franchises. And it’s looking to gobble up more, abetted by Major League Baseball, which has loosened rules that once strictly limited how many teams an entity could own. The cap is now 50.

While GMs and former owners have kind words for DBH, Ramos Eisen heard from players and others that it was “an employer less focused on America’s pastime and more on how to regionalize operations and turn stadiums into entertainment complexes.” The piece offers more smoke than fire, but given private equity’s track record with, well, everything it owns, there’s plenty here to make Saints fans a little uneasy.

ICE Is (Still) Coming for Your Neighbors

As you might expect, Sahan Journal has been publishing the best coverage of the ICE onslaught on Minnesota’s immigrant communities. Sahan’s Katelyn Vue looks at the case of Chia Neng Vue (presumably no relation), a 43-year-old Hmong man who lives in Coon Rapids. After some gang involvement and a criminal conviction when he was young, Vue turned his life around and was checking in regularly with immigration officials. Now he’s in the Freeborn County Jail, waiting to learn his future, after being seized at home by ICE.

In another Sahan story, Andrew Hazzard talks with immigration attorneys and policy experts about how due process is fast eroding for immigrants. More cases are being reopened, while more immigrants are being detained or slated for “expedited removal,” an option that allows the government to sidestep many procedural protections. One thing this crisis highlights is just how few legal protections non-citizens have against the state when it targets them.

Federal Cuts Hit Science Museum Hard

While the funding for ICE is seemingly unlimited, there’s a mere trickle of resources for programs and institutions that genuinely benefit Americans. The Minnesota Science Museum laid off 43 of its workers this week—a 13% reduction in staff—after the Trump administration announced (with dubious legality) that it would withhold $1.3 million in grants to Minnesota institutions. Four of those grants were for Science Museum projects, and would have kept more than two dozen staffers employed, including an entire department dedicated to program evaluation and another dedicated to equity, access, and community outreach.

Though dwindling funds may be to blame, staffers aren’t thrilled with how management handled the cuts. “This could’ve been done in more collaboration with the union and department leaders, not just dropping a list of names 24 hours before,” Gretchen Haupt, the museum’s evaluation and research associate, tells MPR News. Haupt, a 14-year museum employee, lost her job due to the cuts.

And today Fred Melo broke even more bad news in the Pioneer Press: The 42 summer camps the museum runs will be discontinued next year, again for lacking of funding. This will hardly upset Republicans, who, as we know, prefer another kind of camps.
