Three Kent State student-athletes will compete at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships later this week. While the four-day meet at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon begins on Wednesday, the Golden Flashes will only be in action on Friday and Saturday.
Shelby Grover begins the women’s heptathlon at 2:45 p.m. ET on Friday with the 110-meter hurdles, the first of four events on the day, and continue with the long jump at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Grover broke the school record with 5,555 points at the Mid-American Conference Championships and is Kent State’s first qualifier in the event since 2011.
Alexandre Malanda seeks to close his Flashes with a strong performance in the men’s triple jump on Friday at 8:10 p.m. ET. Malanda advanced to the national meet with an outdoor personal-best mark of 52′-9.50″ on his final attempt during competition at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds. The Paris native earned First-Team All-America honors earlier this year with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Svenia De Coninck will be Kent State’s final competitor and is slated for women’s high jump action at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. De Coninck punched her NCAA ticket by clearing 5′-10.50″ for a new personal-best at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds.
