Olson & Barnes Earn First-Team All-American Honors To Cap NCAA’s

Colorado College wrapped up the 2025 outdoor track and field season with a pair of first-team All-Americans at the NCAA Track and Field National Championships. 
 
Junior Rabbit Barnes crossed the finish line in 3:50.01 in the men’s 1,500m finals. Barnes finished fourth overall with the fastest time in the event in program history. He was just a second behind his school record time of 3:49.04. 
 
Barnes became the second individual athlete for the men’s team to earn All-American honors in the last three years. He joins James Settles who earned All-American honors in 2023 and 2024. 
 
Senior Isabel Olson finished eighth in the women’s 1,500m for her first career track and field All-American nod and the second of her career including cross country. Olson finished with a time of 4:34.93 to join Annabel Arnott (1995) as the only Tigers to finish top eight in the event in program history. 
 
Olson set the program record in the event earlier this season with a time of 4:27.59. 
 
She also reached the finals of the 5K finals and placed 20th overall with a time of 17:15.09. 
 
“It was a great way to wrap up a historical season for the program,” head coach Katie Brescher said. “Rabbit ran a smart and tactical race to get on the podium. Isabel maintained her positioning throughout the race to also be on the podium. Being first-time qualifiers, they handled the pressure well.”
