FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas sprinter Jordan Anthony is among 10 semifinalists named for the 2025 Bowerman and becomes the eighth semifinalist from the Razorback men’s program.

Previous Arkansas men’s semifinalist include Omar McLeod (2015), Jarrion Lawson (2016), Ayden Owens-Delerme (2022), Jaydon Hibbert (2023), Carey McLeod (2023), Romaine Beckford (2024), and Wayne Pinnock (2024).

In a season that included sweeping NCAA titles in the 60m indoors and 100m outdoors, Anthony set UA school records in both events with times of 6.47 and 9.95. It was the first time since Christian Coleman of Tennessee in 2017 that the NCAA 60m and 100m titles were won by the same sprinter.

Anthony was the lone sprinter to reach the NCAA Indoor 60m, NCAA Outdoor 100m and 200m finals this season.

During the NCAA West First Round in College Station, Texas, Anthony sped to a time of 9.75 with a 2.1 aiding wind. For the 2025 season it’s the world leader under all-conditions. All-time it ranks =No. 9 world, =No. 3 American, and =No. 2 collegian under all-conditions.

As the Razorbacks contended for team titles in SEC and NCAA Championships, Anthony supplied vital points for Arkansas. He earned the Commissioner’s trophy at the SEC Outdoor Championships as the high-point scorer with 21.5 points as the Razorbacks claimed the team title.

Twenty of those conference points came in sweeping the 100m and 200m with stellar performances of 9.95 and 19.93 as Anthony became just the third sprinter in SEC history to achieve the sweep with sub-10 and sub-20 second times.

Named the SEC Outdoor Runner of the Year, Anthony became the first Razorback to attain the honor since Caleb Cross in 2012.

Anthony was also the high-point scorer at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with 16.5 points. Combining the NCAA Indoor (10 points) with his NCAA Outdoor tally, Anthony produced the most points between both championships in 2025 with 26.5 points.

Arkansas placed fourth in team scoring at the NCAA Indoor and were third at NCAA Outdoor.

In addition to setting school records in the 60m and 100m, the 19.93 performance in the 200m ranks second on the Arkansas all-time list behind a 19.89 registered by Wallace Spearmon, Jr. in 2005.

With Anthony running anchor leg on the 4 x 100m relay, which placed third at SEC and NCAA Outdoor meets, the Razorbacks generated a season best of 38.51 in the NCAA semifinal to rank No. 3 on the UA all-time list behind the school record of 38.47 set in 2015.

After a standout university career and a recently signed professional contract in France, Emma Boyd continues to add to her resume. The former Mount Royal Cougars captain has officially been named to Volleyball Canada’s Next Gen program for the second year in a row.

Boyd was first selected to the national development program in 2024 and has now earned her place again in 2025 a reflection of her continued growth and potential at the international level. The Next Gen program, hosted at the Women’s National Training Centre in Richmond, B.C., runs from June 2 until mid-September 2025. It offers a full-time high-performance training environment and prepares athletes for the systems and expectations of the Senior National Team.

The Next Gen program is designed to develop future members of Canada’s senior national team, providing elite athletes with opportunities to train, compete, and represent the country in high-performance environments. The program also features international competition, including the U23 NORCECA Pan Am Cup (July 25 – August 2 in Mexico), the NORCECA Pan Am Cup (August 1 – 11 in Mexico), and the NORCECA Final Six (September 13 – 22 in Mexico).

Boyd’s invitation to the program comes just weeks after she signed her first professional contract with Volley-Ball Club de Chamalières, a team in France’s top women’s league, Ligue A Féminine. The opportunity to train with Canada’s top rising players while also beginning her professional career abroad is another significant step forward in what has been a breakout year for the middle blocker.

During her time at Mount Royal University from 2021 to 2025, Boyd developed into one of the Cougars’ most dominant and dependable players. Over four seasons, she racked up 736.5 points, 518 kills, 197 blocks, and 105 service aces, all while maintaining a .292 hitting percentage. In her final season, she was named a Canada West Second Team All-Star and served as team captain.

Boyd previously helped MRU capture silver medals at both the Canada West and U SPORTS championships in 2022–23, one of the most successful seasons in program history.

Now set to begin her pro career in France, Boyd will also continue to wear the maple leaf, training and competing with Canada’s best young talent, and keeping her sights set on one day playing for the senior national team.

Simpson College director of track and field Heath Moenck announced on Wednesday that James Hoffman and Ashlan Burton will be promoted to new roles within the program.
Associate head track and field coach Hoffman will be promoted to head coach, while Burton will be named the new associate head coach.

Since 2023, the Simpson track and field programs have elevated to new heights, highlighted by a national championship by Spencer Moon in the 10,000m race in 2024. The men’s and women’s programs have combined for 14 NCAA All-Americans, 14 USTFCCCA All-Region selections, 28 A-R-C All-Conference performances, and a staggering 63 A-R-C All-Academic honors.

Hoffman graduated from Simpson in 2006 and previously served on the football coaching staff before joining the track and field staff as an assistant coach focusing on sprints. Hoffman began his role as associate head coach in August 2023.

Burton joined the Storm coaching staff in June 2023, working primarily with the throwers. Burton was a seven-time NCAA Division II All-American at the University of Central Missouri. Since 2023, Storm throwers have collected numerous top-10 school marks in the shot put, hammer, discus, and javelin.

Hoffman and Burton’s promotions mark an exciting new chapter for Simpson track and field as the Storm continue to build on the recent national success both on and off of the track.
