Oldroyd caps career with first-team All-America performance

EUGENE, Oregon — Kelsi Oldroyd capped her banner career at Utah Valley University with an 8th-place finish in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field on Thursday to earn First Team All-America status.

Oldroyd’s best throw on Thursday came in her third attempt of the day, at 56.37 meters (184-11), as she becomes the first Utah Valley thrower to earn outdoor All-American and is just the second first-teamer in program history (Everlyn Kemboi, 2023 5k). Valentina Barrios Bornacelli of Missouri was the individual champion, with her mark of 62.00 meters (203-5) winning the title on her final throw of the meet.

In 2025, Oldroyd won her third straight WAC Outdoor title in the javelin while also advancing to the NCAA Regional and national semifinal for the third consecutive season. This year, in her final season of eligibility, she broke through to earn All-America status, making an appearance at the NCAA Championships. She’s the first-ever All-American for Utah Valley in the javelin and becomes the 15th All-American in outdoor track & field in program history.
