ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Savannah Sutherland of the University of Michigan women’s track and field team has been named the 2025 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Women’s Track Athlete of the Year, as announced by the conference on Wednesday (June 18). It is her third straight year earning the honor, the first time in program history a Wolverine has won three in a row.

Sutherland captured her second national title in the 400-meter hurdles and her third straight top-two finish at the NCAA Championships on Saturday (June 14). She ran a personal-best 52.46 seconds to finish 2.20 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher and set five records — the NCAA record, the NCAA Championship meet record, the Big Ten record, the Michigan program record and the Canadian national record. She earned first team All-America honors for her performance.

The senior is now just the second runner in NCAA history to break 53 seconds, with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone setting the previous collegiate record of 52.75 in 2018. Sutherland is also just the third athlete in program history to earn multiple individual national titles. The time comes in at No. 9 in the world on the all-time performance list and is tied for the second-fastest time in the world this season.

Sutherland also ran the second leg of the 4×400-meter relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, running 50.71 for the fastest second leg and second-fastest split of the race. The relay squad finished 19th overall with a time of 3:33.75 to be named All-America honorable mention.

The Borden, Saskatchewan, native capped an impressive career in her final season for the Maize and Blue, winning her third straight Big Ten title in the 400-meter hurdles before setting the NCAA East First Round meet record (54.39) for the second consecutive year. She also helped set the program record in the 4×400-meter relay twice this season and earned a third-place finish at the Big Ten Championships.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Mountain West student-athletes turned in one of the best national meet performances in Conference history last week at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The league captured five individual National titles, three National runners-up and amassed a combined 29 First and Second Team All-America honors to go along with another 10 Honorable Mention awards.

The five first-place finishes tied the Conference record set in 2005 for most in a single season, while the combined eight first-and-second-place finishes are the most in Mountain West history. The 29 All-American nods were also the most since 2019 and tied for the second-most all-time.

Four of the national championships came on the women’s side, setting a Conference record. New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei led the way, sweeping the 5,000-meter (15:33.96) and 10,000-meter races, setting a NCAA Meet record in the latter with a time of 31:17.82 and earning a pair of first team honors. Colorado State senior Mya Lesnar capped a stellar Ram career with a first-place finish in the shot put, winning with an opening throw of 19.01 meters for a first-team nod. Wrapping up the women’s title winners was Fresno State senior Cierra Jackson, who won the discus with an NCAA meet record throw of 65.82 meters, which also came on her first attempt. Jackson added an eighth-place finish in the shot put (17.70m) to garner two first team All-America awards.

New Mexico freshman Ishmael Kipkurui took home gold in the 10,000-meter race with a time of 29:07.7 and added a second first-team nod with a seventh-place finish in the 5,000 meter (13:25.18).

The Conference saw three silver medal performances with Lobo sophomore Habtom Samuel taking home two in the 5,000-meter (13:20.89) and 10,000-meter (29:08.73) races, while San José State senior Emilia Sjostrand earned her highest NCAA finish of her decorated career with a second-place finish in the triple jump (13.88 meters).

Overall, New Mexico had a league-high 12 first and second team All-America honors, including a 16^th-place finish by its women’s 4×400 relay team (Rebecca Grieve, Lou-Anne Pouzancre Hoyer, Hanna Kiess and Sofie Pineda) for second team status. In addition to Pamela Kosgei, Ishmael Kipkurui and Habtom Samuel, Lobos Marion Jepngetich (5,000-meter; 4^th; 15:35.14) and Matthew Kosgei (3,000-meter Steeplechase; 9^th; 8:31.14) picked up first and second team accolades, respectively.

The Golden Eagles host the BIG EAST tournament for the ninth time in program history and the event is played on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving for the first time since 2012. MU hosted consecutive years in 2011 and 2012 when the league was undergoing realignment. Since the 2011 campaign, either Marquette or Creighton has hosted every league tournament except in 2016 when the event was played at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse.

 

Marquette opens league action at the Al McGuire Center with the first two weekends at home, culminating a 13-match home stretch on Sunday, Oct. 5 against DePaul. The Golden Eagles will also host six neutral site matches during that span, totaling 19 matches hosted by MU from Sept. 5-Oct. 5.

 

MU faces Providence (Sept. 26) and UConn (Sept. 27) during the first weekend of BIG EAST action at home before another highly anticipated matchup with Creighton at the Al McGuire Center on Thursday, Oct. 2. The contest against the Bluejays pits a pair of first-year head coaches at their respective institutions in Marquette’s Tom Mendoza and CU’s Brian Rosen. Mendoza spent six seasons (2010-15) on the Creighton coaching staff, including the final three after the Jays moved to the BIG EAST for the 2013 campaign.

 

Marquette hits the road on Oct. 10-11 at Seton Hall and St. John’s to begin a stretch of six-of-eight matches on the road, culminating with the return trip to Creighton on Saturday, Nov. 1.

 

MU closes its regular season home schedule on Nov. 7 against St. John’s and Sunday, Nov. 9 against Seton Hall. The Golden Eagles then end the regular season with matches at Butler (Nov. 15) and Xavier (Nov. 16).

 

Previously this spring, Marquette announced its non-conference schedule, including a match against Wisconsin at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and games at the Al McGuire Center against Florida on Sept. 19 and Minnesota on Sept. 21.
