The NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships are already halfway complete, with Wednesday solidifying the men’s track final qualifiers and field winners and Thursday recording the women’s track finalists and field winners. 

Now the stage is set for the final rounds to commence on Friday for the men and Saturday for the women in Eugene, Oregon and Hayward Field. 

As the competition heats up, find out who from Thursday’s semifinals made the cut and who fell short of claiming the opportunity for national glory.   

Women’s NCAA Track And Field Championship Team Leaderboard

After the completion of six events, Georgia is firmly on top with a near-double digit lead. The Bulldogs have taken their No. 1 national ranking and shown just how competitive they are despite facing a disqualification during the 4×100 relays.    

Here’s the leaderboard so far:

Throw Winners

The No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs kicked Thursday’s events off with a win from Stephanie Ratcliffe in the hammer throw. Her 71.37 meter toss was a season-best. 

Mya Lesnar, daughter of the iconic WWE performer Brock Lesnar, showed exactly why she’s the No. 1 ranked women’s shot putter in the country. Lesnar came away with a national title in the shot put with a throw of 19.01 meters, settling just one meter shy of tying the collegiate record to put Colorado State on the board.   

Taking first in the javelin throw and advancing to Saturday’s finals was Valentina Barrios Bornacelli, a junior out of Missouri. She had a 62.00 meter throw to claim a new personal best, with Georgia’s Manuela Rotundo finishing nearly two meters behind. 

Jump Winners

Hana Moll from the Washington Huskies set a new meet record and collegiate record in the pole vault, securing a 4.79 meter jump. She surpassed the previous meet record of 4.71 meters clocked by Chloe Timberg of Rutgers during last year’s NCAA DI Outdoor Track and Field Championships. 

Just like her last name suggests, Synclair Savage of the Louisville Cardinals took charge in the long jump, collecting a new personal best at 6.72 meters. Alyssa Jones of the other Cardinal school in attendance, Stanford, was just 0.02 meters off, but still qualified for the finals as the runner-up. 

Distance Winner

The only women’s track final of the day was the 10,000 meter event, and freshman Pamela Kosgei from New Mexico set a new meet record at 31:17.82. It is also a personal best for Kosgei, beating out the former meet record holder Parker Valby at 31:46.09 set during last year’s NCAA DI Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

EUGENE, Ore. – In his first NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship at Hayward Field, combined events student-athlete Cole Wilson was named a Second Team All-American in the decathlon. The Canadian compiled a program record 7,662 points across the 10 events to finish in 11th place.
 
Wilson became the first High Point combined events athlete to qualify and compete at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. In March, he was the first HPU combined events athlete to compete at the NCAA Indoor Championships where he placed 14th overall and earned Second Team All-American honors. Three months later, he made his second NCAA Championship appearance and improved by three placements for 11th overall after entering the competition with the 24th best score.
 
“Cole competed incredibly well,” Coach Hillary Holmes stated. “He was ranked last heading into this championship, and he moved up 13 places with a personal best score. That is not an easy task. With this being his first time in Eugene, and first Panther decathlete to compete at NCAAs, we are so very proud of how he represented HPU. Looking forward to more fun competitions in the future!”
 
DATE: June 12, 2025
SITE: Hayward Field, Eugene, Oregon
EVENT: 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships
 
On day one, Wilson competed in the first five events and posted solid marks to finish the day in 11th place. He began the week with the 100m dash and recorded a 10.95 time. He moved on to the long jump and jumped 7.01m for 10th in the field. In the shot put, Wilson threw 13.67m. In the high jump, he had one of the best clears in the field with a new personal best 2.01m for sixth place. In the last event of day one, he clocked 50.57 seconds in the 400m.
 
Moving on to day two for the last five events of the week, he opened on the home straight away with the 100m hurdles and clocked a 15.11 time. In the infield, he had a solid throw in the discus with a 40.96m mark to place 10th in the field. In the pole vault, he cleared three bars after entering at the 4.51m height. He posted a 4.71m height to finish eighth in the field.
 
“Cole has been working so hard for so long and done such a great job,” Pole Vault Head Coach Scott Houston stated. “On the pole vault side, he’s worked on being consistent and he’s gotten his consistency up. It’s been a dependable event for him so we’re happy to see him keep improving. Coach Holmes has done a phenomenal job with him and they’re a force to be reckoned with, so we’re excited to have him back next year.”
 
He threw close to his personal best in the javelin with a 52.98m launch for 10th place in the field. Closing out the final event of the decathlon, he clocked a 4:38.58 time in the 1500m.
 
In the end Wilson compiled a program record 7,662 points in his final meet of the 2025 season.

Along with Wilson on the men’s side, Ricardo Montes de Oca qualified for the NCAA Championships in the pole vault. During the competition on Wednesday afternoon, Montes de Oca experienced an injury and was unable to attempt a jump to register a height.

“Warmups were going well for Ricardo and then he caught a calf cramp at the beginning of the competition,” Houston added. “As a freshman, we’re excited for his future and for his ability to qualify for both the indoor and outdoor NCAA championships. We’ve just got to get him healthy and teach him how to manage the travel and expectations with everything. He’s going to be a big hitter for us in the future and we’re looking forward to his success and that’s going to be something that all the High Point fans should really be looking out for.”

Hailey Coey placed 20th in the long jump, while the 4×400 meter relay team of Peyton Garrison, Caroline Hawkes, Olivia Lewis, and Giulia Gandolfi placed 21st. 

“Today was a great finish to a historic year for our women’s track and field program,” head coach Lyle Weese said. “Having five athletes out there competing at the NCAA Championships is pretty special, and having our first relay ever compete at the NCAA Championships and our first long jumper was also pretty special.” 

Coey, a junior from Billings, was representing the Bobcats as the first man or woman to ever compete at the national meet in the long jump, and did so brilliantly to cap one of the best seasons by a women’s field athlete in school history. 

All three of Coey’s attempts on Thursday went over 19-02.50, with her best jump coming on her third and last try to measure at 19-08.25. 

Coey’s year ends after winning the indoor Big Sky title, setting the Big Sky Conference and school records indoors, and setting the school record outdoors with the second-best outdoor jump in Big Sky history.  

The Billings product then placed eighth at the NCAA West Regional to earn a spot in Eugene, and now has a top-20 finish in the nation to back up a special season with an honorable mention All-American nod. 

“Hailey has come so far over the last three years and especially this year,” Weese said. “It was fun seeing her compete against the best in the NCAA, and she looked like she belonged out there. It seemed to be maybe the first of a couple more NCAA Championships that she’ll get to compete in.” 

In the final event of the night, the women’s 4×400 meter relay team upset three teams to come away finishing 21st in the country with a hard-fought effort. 

Peyton Garrison, a junior from New Castle, Colorado, ran the leadoff leg before handing the baton to Caroline Hawkes, a junior from San Clemente, California. Hawkes, a ten-time All-Big Sky honoree, split the fastest lap in 52.11 seconds then handed it off to Olivia Lewis, a freshman from Corvallis, Montana, before Giulia Gandolfi, a junior from Faenza, Italy, ran the anchor leg. 

The Cats crossed the line in 3:36.70, taking down Arizona, TCU, and Baylor to finish 21st and earn honorable mention All-American honors. 

The squad was the first-ever relay to compete at the national championships. 

“With our women’s 4×400, they obviously took a gigantic step forward this year, but you can look into the future and say they could do even more in future years, so that’s also exciting with all of those athletes coming back,” Weese said. 

Combined with Coey’s heroics in the long jump this year, the Montana State relay’s presence meant the Bobcats had multiple entries at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on the women’s side for just the fourth time in school history. 

During the outdoor season alone, the Montana State women set an astounding nine school records, including two conference records, and tallied more points at the conference championship meet than they have in over 20 years.
