The Big West will be represented with 12 qualifiers at the 2025 NCAA Track & Field Championships, held June 11-14 at Oregon’s Hayward Field. The four-day extravaganza will air on the ESPN family of networks.

Qualification for nationals, except for the multi-events, hinged on being in the top 12 in their event at the NCAA West Preliminaries, held May 28-31 at Texas A&M. For the decathlon and heptathlon, the top 24 declared student-athletes in each event based on their position on the national descending-order list were accepted.

The meet will begin on Wednesday at noon PT with the 100m portion of the decathlon. The Big West has two representatives in the event, UC Santa Barbara’s Brad Thomas (8108 points, 3rd) and Long Beach State’s Ryan Greogory (7808 points, 7th). Both recorded their qualifying marks at the 2025 Big West Championships, with Thomas winning the crown with a new facility, school, meet and overall conference record. Day two of the decathlon will start on Thursday at 9:45 a.m. PT with the 110m hurdles.

The Cal Poly hammer throwing duo of Rory Devaney and Travis Martin are set to compete on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. PT. Martin was third with a toss of 67.81m/222’5”, while Devaney was 10th with a mark of 65.49m/216’4” at regionals for their qualification.

The Cal State Fullerton 4x100m relay of John Clifford, Isaiah Emerson, Dominic Gates and Ian Dossman is set to compete at 4:05 p.m. PT on Wednesday. The Titans booked a trip to Oregon by finishing third in heat three, ninth overall, with a time of 39.26 at the west regionals. Abel Jordan, Joshua Hornsby and Carter Birade are listed as alternates for the Titans.

Hornsby will be running in the 110m hurdles at 5:08 p.m. PT. The senior claimed the last spot to nationals, placing 12th overall (13.58) at College Station two weeks ago.

UC Irvine’s Liam Miksic will be part of the javelin field, starting Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. PT. Miksic grabbed the 12th and final spot in the men’s javelin with a toss of 68.57m/224’11” two weeks ago at Texas A&M.

Long Beach State’s Tristyn Flores is a double qualifier in the 100m and 200m, starting Wednesday at 5:25 p.m. PT and 6:20 p.m. PT, respectively. Flores earned a spot to nationals with a 10.05, a new personal best, school mark and conference record, in the 100m to place 12th overall and was second place in heat two (20:46) in the 200m at west regionals.

Cal Poly’s Aidan McCarthy is a participant in the men’s 800m for a second time. McCarthy ran a 1:47.01 for fifth overall at west regionals. McCarthy was an All-American in the same event in 2023 with a seventh-place finish. The half-mile race begins on Wednesday at 5:58 p.m. PT.

Long Beach State’s Claudine Raud-Gumiel qualified for the heptathlon with a seasonal-best of 5698 points, set at the 2025 Big West Championships. Day one of the heptathlon will start on Friday at 11:45 a.m. PT. Day two will begin at 3:30 p.m. PT on Saturday.
