Reynolds and Holtzen Earn All-America Honors on Day One of the NCAA Outdoor Championships – Mountain West Conference

EUGENE, Ore. (June 11, 2025) – Senior Daniel Reynolds and junior Ryker Holtzen earned All-America honors in the hammer throw and 3,000-meter steeplechase on the first day of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field, Wednesday.

EUGENE, Ore. (June 11, 2025) – Senior Daniel Reynolds and junior Ryker Holtzen earned All-America honors in the hammer throw and 3,000-meter steeplechase on the first day of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field, Wednesday.

FIELD EVENTS

The first individual event of the National Championships kicked off with Reynolds in the hammer throw. Coming into the meet, he held the No. 9 qualifying throw in the country and was on the fringe for First-Team All-America status. As the last thrower in the second flight, Reynolds had all the competition ahead of him and would know what it would take to make the finals.

On his first toss, the Granby, Colo., native launched the hammer to 68.72 meters. This would be his best throw among his first three, placing him eighth to make the Top-9 final. With three throws left in his hammer college career, Reynolds had more work to do. Right out of the gates, he threw what would be his best of the event at 228’ 7” (69.68 meters), good for seventh overall. After a 66-meter toss and a foul, Reynolds solidified his spot in the Top 8 and earned First-Team All-America honors, the first Cowboy since Colton Paller in the 2021 outdoor season. Reynolds’ busy day was just starting, though, as he still looked to compete in the shot put.

In the shot, Reynolds landed his first and only put fair at 58’ 5 3/4″ (17.82 meters). He would foul on the next two attempts and miss out on the final, landing in 22nd.

Reynolds closed his Cowboy career as an NCAA champion, a two-time All-American and a three-time Wyoming school record holder.

TRACK EVENTS

Holtzen ran in heat one of the 3,000-meter steeplechase, fighting for a Top-5 spot to automatically qualify for Friday’s final. After falling from the top group to start, he found himself fourth with four laps to go. On laps five and six, Holtzen held close with his two fastest splits before falling back from the pack. Coming around the last straight and after crossing 27 obstacles, the Twin Falls, Idaho, native needed an all-out sprint if he hoped to earn a finals spot as a time qualifier.

Holtzen finished seventh. just 0.04 seconds ahead of the eighth-place finisher, in heat one with a time of 8:38.09, eagerly awaiting the results of heat two to see if he would run on Friday.

As fate would have it, heat two ran a much faster race, with its Top-5 finishers crossing the line ahead of the 8:30 mark. Junior Holtzen would finish in 15th overall and “settle” for Second-Team All-America honors, an achievement many athletes dream of, especially in their first appearance at Hayward Field.

Holtzen is the first Cowboy to earn the title of All-American in the steeplechase in Wyoming history, joining two Cowgirls, Audra DeStefano (2017, HM) and Katelyn Mitchem (2023, 2nd) to win the honor in the steeplechase.

In his junior season, Holtzen competed in both the cross country and outdoor track and field national championships and set two school records.

NEXT UP

Wyoming track and field will close the 2024-25 season on Friday when junior Jacob White runs in the 5,000-meter final. The gun will sound at 7:55 p.m. MT in Eugene and will be the second-to-last event at the men’s NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Hilary Duff’s ‘Lizzie McGuire’ Co-Star Jake Thomas On Revival Series “Falling Apart”: “It Was Bad Timing”

It’s been over five years since the Lizzie McGuire revival series was officially scrapped, and Jake Thomas is weighing in.

The former Disney Channel actor who played Hilary Duff’s little brother Matt in the comedy explained why the sequel series didn’t move forward.

More from Deadline

“Sometimes that just happens,” Thomas told E! News. “It was bad timing with everything. It was right at the beginning of COVID.”

The sequel series was announced during the Disney D23 Expo in 2019 and was being developed for the new Disney+ streaming service. However, the original series’ creator, Terri Minsky, stepped down in January 2020. Duff took to social media to ask Disney to move the series to Hulu, allowing the character to live more authentically to her age.

Despite the series being canceled altogether, Thomas finds it “crazy how embedded Lizzie McGuire has become within a millennial culture as something that we’re still referencing today,” adding, “It blows my mind, and I’m thankful for that.”

The revival series would’ve brought back the original cast members, and in 2024, one of the writers of the series revealed that two episodes were filmed. Jonathan Hurwitz said in a TikTok video that the first episode found Lizzie living in New York City as an interior designer. Lizzie soon finds out her chef boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend, which prompts her to return to her childhood home in California, where animated Lizzie is waiting for her.

Hurwitz noted that Episode 3 didn’t end up getting filmed, and believed this was the episode that Disney might have had some issues with.

“Episode 3 wasn’t filmed, but there was a script for it,” Hurwitz said. “Lizzie wakes up in Ethan’s bed, in his water polo t-shirt. Animated Lizzie pops up and she has this little checklist, like a to-do list, and Ethan is on the list and she checks it off.”

Hurwitz continued, “I think she says something like, ‘I checked that box –dramatic pause– twice.’ So if I had to guess, I saw another comment about certain storylines [about] why Disney wasn’t comfortable with it, my guess was… that moment was probably one of them.”

In an interview on Watch What Happens Live in 2023, Duff continued to be optimistic about the revival getting another shot, saying the show “lived up to her vision.” She added, “Disney+ was very new and I think they were figuring out their… and we were figuring out our… and I am optimistic.”

Since the launch of Disney+, the lines between Disney’s streaming platforms have been blurred. Subscribers of both services can see Hulu’s content within the Disney+ app. Shows not necessarily Disney+ friendly, like The Kardashians, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Only Murders in the Building, are available on the Disney+ platform for those with the bundle.

EUGENE, Ore. – The TCU men wrapped up their 2025 season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Wednesday at Hayward Field. TCU senior Kashie Crockett led the way, securing Second Team All-American honors in the 200m to end his collegiate career.
 
The Horned Frogs competed in six events on day one of the championship meet; however, none advanced to the finals of their respective events.
 
TCU’s 4x100m relay turned in a season best 39.35 to start off the meet. Freshman Justin Frater stepped in as an alternate and didn’t disappoint running the opening leg before passing off the baton to Crocket. Jordan Parker and Sanjay Slamon ran the final two legs to help the Frogs finish 18th overall and earn Honorable Mention All-American honors.
 
In the javelin throw, freshman Preston Kuznof closed out his rookie campaign. The Big 12 Champion threw 64.62m (214-10) to place 20th and earn Honorable Mention All-America status.
 
Running in the 800m, Lloyd Frilot went down on the final turn as he attempted to make a move to the outside. Although he was tripped up, the senior got back on his feet and crossed the finish line as an Honorable Mention All-American in Hayward Field.
 
Sophomore Jayden Douglas made his debut at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He competed in the 400m hurdles, turning in a time of 54.16 for his first career All-American nod (Honorable Mention honors).
 
Back at the championship meet for the second straight season in the 200m, Crockett ran a 20.48 (+0.4 m/s), finishing fifth in his heat. His time was good for 12th overall, officially making him a two-time All-American in the event (2025 Second Team Indoor and Outdoor).
 
The Frogs closed out the meet with a 17th place finish in the 4x400m relay (3:05.16). Ronnie Kendrick, Douglas, Destin Drummond and Frilot finished just over half a second behind Georgia adding Honorable Mention All-American honors to their name.
 
The TCU women are up next, competing on Thursday, June 12. They will be represented with 11 entries and look to advance to Saturday’s finals.

Montana State senior Rob McManus took a tumble during the final lap but was still able to finish fourth in his heat and advance to the men’s 3000 meter steeplechase finals at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Wednesday in Eugene, Oregon.

McManus finished in 8:34.54, taking fourth in his heat and 9th overall out of 24 racers. He held the sixth fastest time in the field heading into Thursday’s action. His career-best time of 8:26.83 was set earlier this season at the Bryan Clay Invitational in April.

The Cashmere, Washington native was leading the race during the final lap but took a spill getting through the final water jump, allowing three competitors to pass him down the finishing stretch. 

McManus recovered from a fall during the final water jump to finish fourth in his heat and earn an automatic qualifier to Friday’s finals.




McManus has now advanced to finals for the first time in his career after making his third straight appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The steeplechase finals will take place on Friday at 6:24 p.m. MST.

Earlier on Thursday’s opening fay action, Bobcats sophomore Harvey Cramb competed in the 1500 meter semifinals. The Australian product was in the top half of the pack midway through the race but faded down the stretch to a last place finish in his heat, crossing the finish line in 3:44.57. Cramb’s heat was the faster of the two, so his time ended up ranking 12th out of 24 total runners between the two semifinal races.

Cramb faded during the final lap, taking last in his heat during the 1500 meter semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.




Still to come at this week’s national championships meet will be several more Bobcat competitors.

On Thursday, Billings native Hailey Coey will compete in the women’s long jump finals, scheduled for 6:40 p.m. MST.

Also on Thursday, the Montana State women’s 4×400 relay team will be in action for a semifinals race at 8:36 p.m. MST.

On Saturday, Seeley Lake native and Colorado State junior Klaire Kovatch will compete in the women’s discus, set to get underway at 1:30 p.m. MST.

6:56 p.m. | 10,000m National Final | Logan Hofstee, Rosina Machu

EUGENE, Ore. – Gonzaga women’s track will make program history Thursday evening at Hayward Field, racing two athletes in the same National Final event for the first time ever. This will also mark the first time two Bulldog women have qualified for the NCAA Championship week, as Logan Hofstee and Rosina Machu will compete in the 10,000-meter final at 6:56 p.m. on ESPN.

For Hofstee, she becomes the first true freshman to reach the NCAA Championships after a gritty 11th place finish at the NCAA West Prelims in College Station on May 29. Her time of 34:30.82 in College Station came amidst the chase pack, working her way into the Top 12 before crossing just one second ahead of the final qualifying mark. She reached the qualifying round with a time of 33:17.80 at the Stanford Invitational in April.

Machu makes her second consecutive 10,000-meter Final appearance, placing 15th to earn Second Team All-America honors last spring in Eugene. Two weeks ago, she finished third at the West Prelims in 33:50.76 after running a qualifying time of 32:33.18 at Stanford in April. Machu is just the third-ever repeat finals qualifier and first since James Mwaura in 2023, and she’ll look to become the first female two-time All-American on the track in GU history.

Including Gonzaga’s first appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2015, the Zags will send at least one athlete to the final week of NCAA competition for the eighth time in the last ten championship meets (2020 canceled due to COVID-19). In five of the previous seven instances, GU has walked away with an All-American. Fraley was the first Zag to earn the honor in 2017 before Mwaura earned five over the span of three years in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
