State Dual Meet Tournament Coming to Girls Wrestling in 2027

The Board of Directors at the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) unanimously approved the implementation of a girls wrestling state dual tournament for the 2026-27 season. 

“A state dual meet tournament is something that our wrestling schools have wanted,” said IGHSAU Executive Director Erin Gerlich. “The impressive growth of girls wrestling in Iowa along with more schools being able to field a full roster of wrestlers in every weight class shows that girls wrestling is ready for a dual team tournament.”

The State Dual Meet will take place before the state qualifying and state individual tournaments. The tentative date for dual state qualifying meets is January 18, 2027, with the state dual tournament January 22, 2027. The number of classes and state meet venue will be determined at a later date.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Junior Logan Hammer secured a berth to the national championships in the pole vault as the Utah State men’s track & field team advanced two of their six competing athletes at the 2025 NCAA West First Rounds on Wednesday.
 
Hammer booked his trip to Oregon for the second straight year by clearing 5.42 meters (17-9.25). The two-time All-American wasn’t perfect, as his three misses in six attempts dropped him into a tie for sixth in the competition, but he persevered to clinch his spot at the national championships. Hammer will enter the national final as the second-ranked pole vaulter in the country based on his personal-best clearance of 5.70 meters (18-8.25).
 
The other Aggie qualifier of the day was sophomore Landon Bott, who advanced through the first round of the 800 meters. He clocked in at 1:48.71 to take fourth place in his heat and claim the fourth-best time among the non-automatic qualifiers. Bott started off the race near the back of the pack but ran his second lap in 54.98 seconds, third-fastest in the heat, to cross the line in fourth. The reigning MW champion in the event will now race in Friday’s quarterfinals, which are scheduled to begin at 6:05 p.m. (MT).
 
The Aggies’ afternoon began with sophomore Walker Deede competing in the javelin, where he launched a throw of 65.70 meters (215-7) to finish eighth in the third flight of throwers and 21st overall. Deede’s top mark, coming on the first of his three attempts, is the ninth-straight performance, going back to the 2024 Mountain West championships, in which he passed the 65-meter mark.
 
Juniors Marshall Rasmussen and Javin Richards competed alongside Hammer in the pole vault competition, each clearing 5.02 meters (16-5.5) in their first career appearances at the NCAA West First Rounds to place 26th and 33rd, respectively. Rasmussen finished his season with silver medals at both the MW Indoor and Outdoor Championships and two Utah State top-10 marks, while Richards claimed a bronze medal at the MW Outdoor Championships and set four top-10 marks across the pole vault, heptathlon, and decathlon.
 
Graduate Camren Todd competed in the final race of his storied Utah State career, running the 10,000 meters in 29:09.45 to place 26th. The cross country All-American ended his Aggie tenure with four all-conference honors, a cross country all-region honor, the USU record in the 10,000 meters and a MW-record two NCAA Elite 90 Awards, given to the top scholar-athlete competing at a national championships.
 
Thursday’s competition will include the first round of the women’s 100-meter hurdles, featuring junior Krysthina Vlahovic, and the semifinal of the women’s 10,000 meters, in which senior Emma Thornley and sophomore Brianne Smith will race. Live coverage will continue from College Station on ESPN+.

CARLSBAD, Calif. – Oklahoma State’s men’s golf team captured its 12th national championship in convincing fashion with a 3-1 victory over Virginia on Wednesday evening at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.

The title was OSU’s second under head coach Alan Bratton, who guided the Cowboys to a national championship in 2018 in Stillwater. Bratton was also victorious as a player (1995) and assistant coach (2006).

Additionally, the victory was OSU’s second in four championship match appearances since the implementation of the current format in 2009.

The second-ranked Cowboys ended the season on a five-tournament winning streak and won seven events overall on the year.

Freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson was outstanding once again in the lead match for OSU, taking down Maxi Puregger, 3 and 1, to put OSU’s first point on the board. Fahlberg-Johnsson improved to 3-0 for the match play portion of the event.

Fahlberg-Johnsson claimed the first and never trailed in the match. He stood at 3-up through nine before Puregger claimed the 12th and 13th to get within one. However, the Cowboy freshman bounced back with wins at 15 and 17 to secure the point.

Point No. 2 came courtesy of sophomore Gaven Lane, who put together a huge rally on the second nine against Paul Chang. Lane found himself 2-down through seventh before winning the eighth and ninth to tie the match. He would go on to win Nos. 12-15 to close out the match.

Virginia’s lone point came courtesy of Ben James’ 3-and-2 win over sophomore Preston Stout.

For the second day in a row, sophomore Eric Lee delivered down the stretch for OSU. After losing the fourth, Lee took the seventh and eighth in his matchup with Josh Duangmanee. After Duangmanee tied it at the 10th, Lee won the 11th and 12th before Duangmanee took the next two. However, Lee would roll in a long birdie putt at the 17th and closed the match on the final hole with an up-and-down from right of the green.

Sophomore Ethan Fang held a 1-up lead in his match against Bryan Lee through 15 holes when play was halted.

As Florida Softball gets ready for the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, one of the bright stars for the Gators won one of college softball’s top honors.

Taylor Shumaker was named the 2025 D1 Freshman of the Year.

Her impact on this season was immediate as she established herself as a premier power hitter. Her 22 home runs on the season are 11th best in the country, and she is one home run away from breaking the single-season record for the Gators.

Overall, she’s hitting .389 with a slugging percentage of .818.

Shumaker becomes the second Gator to win the award, joining Amanda Lorenz from 2016.

Florida opens their Women’s College World Series on Thursday at 12 PM against Texas on ESPN.

Florida Gators Golf has its run end in the semifinals

It was a valiant effort from the men’s golf team, but the Gators ran out of steam in the semifinals against Virginia to fall short on the championship match.

Florida opened their day in the quarterfinals against Texas and prevailed 3-2 to advance. Zack Wanwick (2 & 1), Matthew Kress (3 & 1), and Ian Gilligan (1 UP) won their respective matches to advance. Gilligan in particular, had to battle back from two down to with eight holes to play to pick up his point.

This year’s national championship tournament was a bit of a bounce-back for the Gators. After winning the national title in 2023, Florida placed 11th in 2024 and missed out on the match play rounds.

Gymnastics gets All-American transfer eMjae Frazier

After their shocking bowout at nationals, Florida Gymnastics is looking to bolster the roster and got a huge transfer commit on Tuesday.

eMjae Frazier from the University of California will be joining the Gators next season. Frazier is a ten-time All-American who has earned a 10.0 on floor and beam during her career. She also has a career-best all-around of 39.825.
