COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri track and field’s Kristi Perez-Snyman and Valentina Barrios have been named to the All-Southeastern Conference First Team and Second Team, respectively, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Perez-Snyman earns the ninth Women’s Outdoor All-SEC First Team recognition in program history and the second in as many years after Euphenie Andre did so in 2024. Barrios is the third Tiger to earn a spot on the Women’s Outdoor All-SEC Second Team.
The two earned their spots after standout performances at the 2025 SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships on May 15-17 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Perez-Snyman took gold in high jump, posting a school-record mark of 1.90m (6-2.75) to become the first women’s student-athlete in Missouri history to claim the event. She is the 13th Tiger to win an individual SEC title. The Cape Town, Western South Africa native sits atop the conference in the event and ranks third in the country.
Barrios snagged a silver medal in javelin with a program-best throw of 58.20m (190-11) to highlight the first day of the meet for Mizzou. She leads the No. 3 women’s javelin squad in the country, ranking fifth nationally and third in the SEC in the event.
Missouri track and field now sets its sights on the NCAA Outdoor Regional Championships, which begin on Wednesday, May 28, at E.B. Cushing Stadium in College Station, Texas. This marks the third meet the Tigers’ track & field program will compete at Texas A&M in 2025.
