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.
