McFarland set the meet record in the preliminary round (3:59.29) to top the previous standard of 4:00.56 set by U-M director of track and field and cross country Kevin Sullivan in 1998 before taking gold in the finals (4:03.56).

• At the Penn Relays during the outdoor season, the 4×800-meter relay team of Camden Law, McFarland, Henry Johnson and Brendan Herger topped a 39-year-old record, shaving more than three seconds off the previous standard with a time of 7:14.65 to finish second.
• Amit Rutman, Gupta, Koerner and Corey Royster took down a 47-year-old record at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, finishing seventh in the 4x100m relay (39.87 seconds).
• Caleb Jarema improved his 2024 third-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, taking silver at the 2025 championships with a time of 8:42.53.
• Freshman Josh Huisman punched his ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a 10th-place finish in the shot put (18.95m/62-2.25) at the NCAA East First Round. Huisman went on to finish 20th (18.33m/60-1.75) at NCAAs.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Cal Poly beach volleyball head coach Todd Rogers has bolstered his 2026 roster with the addition of four new Division I transfers to have one of the best transfer classes in the country.
The newcomers include Ashleigh Adams (Florida Atlantic), Peyton Dueck (UCLA indoor), Bailey Showalter (USC), and Julia Westby (Long Beach State). Combined between the four of them, there are seven all-conference selections, three AVCA Top Flight awards, and one AVCA All-American.
“I’m super excited to announce our 2025-26 transfer class,” said head coach Todd Rogers. “I think it is one of, if not the best in the nation this year. We are adding some talented players from rival schools, an All-American from across the country and welcoming back an old friend to finish up what she started. It is a great group of young ladies who will raise the level and expectations immediately when they step foot on the sand at the Swanson Beach Complex.”

KU’s post-House plan includes 25 new athletic scholarships, primarily in women’s sports | News, Sports, Jobs

KU athletic director Travis Goff speaks at volleyball coach Matt Ulmer’s introductory press conference on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025, at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena.
Frisco, Texas — The announcement of Kansas baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald’s amended six-year contract in June provided some insight into KU’s future plans in the wake of the House v. NCAA settlement by suggesting that the baseball program would receive “an increase in scholarships.”
The House settlement, which became effective on July 1, replaced previous scholarship limits with newly devised roster limits under which any number of players can be on scholarship.
In some sports, that allows for the possibility of a dramatic increase in investment. For example, college baseball teams can now furnish scholarships to as many as 34 players on their rosters, compared to the previous limit of 11.7.
“That’s been one of the lowest-scholarshiped programs in college athletics,” KU athletic director Travis Goff said. “And so we really see that one as an opportunity to move the needle.”
Indeed, at Big 12 media days on Wednesday, Goff explained further details of in which sports KU plans to boost its athletic scholarship totals.
In all, the department is adding about 25 new scholarships. As Goff put it, KU is “beholden and committed” as a result of Title IX to factoring in its on-campus gender ratio with its athletic scholarship offerings. While KU’s population is currently about 53% female and 47% male and trending toward 55-45, Goff said, 70% of the new scholarships will go to women’s sports, including specifically soccer, softball, women’s track and field, and volleyball. Meanwhile, baseball will be one of the main men’s sports benefiting from the remaining 30%.
Under the new rules, any money that KU spends on additional scholarships beyond its previous offerings will be deducted from the recently implemented cap of $20.5 million that the athletic department can pay its athletes across all sports. (The maximum dollar amount allowed for new scholarship offerings this year is $2.5 million, which KU won’t get close to by providing just 25 scholarships.)
At the same time, KU also plans to participate in revenue sharing for baseball and therefore find a balance between the two methods of bolstering its program.
“We’re not going haywire in any of those, but we think the combination creates a really competitive opportunity for baseball to be certainly relevant in this next chapter,” Goff said.
While baseball will be one of the main beneficiaries of additional scholarship investment, Fitzgerald previously said that it wasn’t necessarily a topic in his contract discussions specifically.
“There are things we’re doing this year, but it’s going to be different next year,” he said on July 2. “Our numbers do increase next year. I don’t think any of us know what this is going to look like three years from now.”

First Look
The Chattanooga Mocs wrestling room is a work in progress, both literally and figuratively. Construction on what is to become one of the premier preparation facilities in the nation are well underway and due to be completed close to the start of the school year. That room got a serious competition boost with Coach Kyle Ruschell‘s announcement of five transfers enrolled for the 2025-26 season.
First Take
“We talk all the time about high aspirations for this program. We want our guys working for the highest honors, National Champions, All-Americans. If they’re striving for those, all the other goals fall into place.
