The Rundown

A majority of the running events feature a first round followed by a quarterfinals on the second day for each gender. Athletes who make the cut to the quarterfinals day, will need to finish in the top-12 to secure their spot in the 2025 Outdoor Championship meet in Eugene, Oregon (June 11-14).

Meanwhile, in throwing/field events, athletes are only allowed three attempts to secure a top-12 spot. In distance races like the 3k steeplechase, 5k and 10k, athletes will only run them once this week with the top-12 moving on to Eugene.

Last Timeout

The Red Raiders swept the Big 12 outdoor championships just a little over one week ago in Lawrence, Kan. The men’s side won the meet by 36 points scoring a total of 136, while the women’s side claimed victory by 14.5 points, scoring 127 points. Head coach Wes Kittley was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year for both the men and women as he collected his 11^th conference Coach of the Year honor.

Rankings

In the week nine USTFCCCA rankings released Tuesday afternoon, the women moved up one spot to No. 3 – highest ranking of the season – while the men’s team stayed at No. 11.

The Wisconsin Badgers aren’t taking it easy with their non-conference volleyball schedule in 2025.

The team released the slate of teams they’ll face outside of the Big Ten next season, and it features some of the top teams from last year’s NCAA tournament.

UW had previously announced it would start the season against Kansas and Texas at the Kohl Center for the Opening Spike Classic.

Both the Jayhawks and Longhorns were No. 3 seeds in last year’s NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin will face Notre Dame beforehand, but that match is set as an exhibition.

In mid-September, the Badgers get their in-state matchups with UW-Milwaukee and Marquette. In between will be a rematch of last year’s second-round NCAA tournament match against Georgia Tech, which UW won 3-1.

The non-conference slate ends with a match against Florida, which made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament last year as a six seed.

All of that before the Big Ten schedule starts, when Kelly Sheffield has to face powerhouses like Penn State and Nebraska.

Wisconsin will once again be battle-tested all season long and well prepared for whatever next year’s NCAA tournament throws at them.

The First Rounds of the 2025 NCAA D1 Track and Field Championships are ready to begin on May 27 with two regional meets. The East Regional will be held in Jacksonville, Florida, while the West Regional has settled in College Station, Texas. 

Each individual event features the top 48 D1 collegiate athletes, and the West Regional in particular will showcase the talent harbored by the top teams in the nation, like Southern California, Arkansas, and the site host, Texas A&M. 

Southern California is currently ranked No. 1 in men’s track and field and No. 4 in women’s, according to the latest updates from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.  

Now that the previous NCAA D1 Men’s Track and Field champion of the past three years, Florida, is seemingly out of the picture, a new team hopes to rise to the occasion. 

Following the completion of the First Rounds, 12 athletes and 12 relay teams will be selected based on their performance and sent to the Championships in June.
