EUGENE, Ore. – The 2025 Track and Field season came to a close for the Titans after sending two events to the semifinal round at the NCAA DI National Championship on Wednesday evening. 

Joshua Hornsby, who punched his ticket to Eugene in the men’s 110m hurdles at the NCAA West First Rounds (May 28-31), ran a 13.53 in the event’s semifinal round. This placed him 14th out of the 22 finishers overall. Hornsby finishes the season holding the top four fastest times in Titan history (13.51, 13.53, 13.58, 13.61), all of which he set this season. 

The men’s 4×100 relay team composed of John Clifford, Isaiah Emerson, Dominic Gates and Ian Dossman placed 22nd place in the semifinal round with a time of 39.48. The athletes, who ran a combined time of 39.26, punched their ticket to the semifinal round on May 30 at the West First Round hosted on the campus of Texas A&M.

Sarasota County has produced some of the state’s best volleyball over the past decade.

Cardinal Mooney, Riverview and Venice high schools have each made it to the final four in the past 10 years, with the Cougars (one) and Indians (two) bringing home state championships. 

Sarasota High, however, could not tap into that local success. The Sailors haven’t made it to the regional round of postseason play since 2015 and have never played in a regional final. 

New Sarasota volleyball Head Coach Emma Thrift hopes to change that. 

Thrift knows Sarasota volleyball better than most. 

She played both indoor and beach volleyball at Riverview and has coached with Sarasota Volleyball Club — an AAU and travel organization — since she was a senior in high school. 

After routinely beating the Sailors in her high school days, the challenge of going to the rival excites Thrift.

“It’s exciting to be on the other side,” Thrift said. “It fuels the fire a little bit more. It feels like I have something to prove.”

In the Sailors’ 10-11 season, Riverview eliminated Sarasota in its first district tournament game. 

That leaves plenty of room for improvement, but Thrift is focusing more on the intangibles than the record.

“Success for me this season would be building a solid culture and foundation,” Thrift said. “It’s not about winning, winning, winning. It’s about having them grow. Even if they lose, I want it to be five sets, close games, extra points every time. I don’t want it to be a 3-0 sweep. I would still count that as a win. Set wins are wins to me. When we see that growth in the season, that will set us up really well in the long term.”

Thrift, 23, graduated from Florida State University in 2024, but isn’t inexperienced in coaching. 

She has coached with Sarasota Volleyball Club, SRQ Beach Volleyball and The Classical Academy of Sarasota.

However, she is well aware she will be one of the youngest head varsity coaches in the state this season, and she’s planning on using that to her advantage. 

“I try to relate to them a little more because they’re still in high school,” Thrift said. “They’re going through the hardest part of their life right now. I feel like a lot of coaches as they get older kind of dismiss that, whereas I was more recently in their shoes. They want to feel respected and feel like they’re being heard, and I feel like I’m able to communicate that with them.” 

Despite Sarasota’s record and postseason result last year, Thrift should have some talent to work with this fall. 

Kills leader Liza Collier, a rising junior, is set to enter her junior season while Braelynn Rebholz, third in kills, will be a senior. 

Blocks leader Gemma Mulhollen is entering her junior season and ace leader Rylan Miller will be a senior.

The work for next season has already begun.

Thrift held her first summer workout on June 9 at the school, and said roughly 50 players — including freshman, junior varsity and varsity — showed up, with more expected to come later in the summer. 

June will focus on building stamina and mental strength. Thrift intends on the Sailors playing deep into matches, which will require fortitude. That means cardio work on the track, high-repetition weightlifting and time on the court. 

Perhaps more important than strength and conditioning will be creating a team-first culture. Thrift said she can’t remember the players who were on the freshman and junior varsity teams when she was a varsity player. 

Instead, she wants an all-inclusive environment to encourage players to stay with the team through graduation. 

“What I really want to build right now is good culture,” Thrift said. “I want this team to be one unit. I don’t want freshman, JV, varsity. I want Sarasota volleyball. I feel like it didn’t really build a positive culture, and I want longevity.

“I know they can be great. I just need them to understand that they can be great as well.”

On day one of the four-day championship meet, Joe Licata also made the Second Team All-America in the shot put. 

In the semifinal events, Harrison Witt and Sam Rodman advanced to the finals of the 1500m and the 800m, respectively, with Rodman setting a new program record in the 800m. 

Foster secured First Team All-American status by taking seventh place with a jump of 7.80m/25-7¼”. The competition marked the junior’s third NCAA Championship appearance and first All-America distinction. 

Licata made his NCAA debut in the shot put, finishing 13th with a mark of 18.93m/62-1¼” to earn him Second Team All-America honors. 

Rodman, making his fifth trip to NCAAs, qualified for Friday’s 800m final running a new personal best time of 1:46.27. The mark broke his own school record in the event for the second time this season, as Rodman smashed his own 2022 record just weeks ago with a time of 1:46.85 at the Princeton Elite. 

In the 1500m, Witt cruised into Friday’s final with a 3:41.98 finish for third place in semifinal two. His time was also third overall. With the performance, Witt, a 2025 indoor Second Team All-America honoree in the mile, made his third NCAA Championship appearance this academic year and fourth all-time. 

Up Next

The Tigers will look ahead to Friday as Witt and Rodman compete in their respective finals, and Casey Helm competes in the discus championship. Helm will kick off the action for the Tigers at 2:15 p.m. PST, with Witt and Rodman’s races taking place at 5:12 p.m. and 6:14 p.m.

MacQuiddy, Goode Finish Year As All-America Honorable Mentions

EUGENE, Ore. – Two men from the California track & field team completed their 2025 collegiate seasons on Wednesday evening, as school record-holders Garrett MacQuiddy (1500m) and Johnny Goode (400m) represented the Blue & Gold at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, held this year at Oregon’s Hayward Field.
 
Competing in his second NCAA Championships semifinal, MacQuiddy closed out his collegiate career with a time of 3:53.49 after being cut off on the back stretch, which kept him in the back half of the pack despite posting a time of 51.87 on the bell lap.
 
Goode, who broke the 40-year-old program record at the ACC Championships, raced in the third heat in the NCAA Semifinals and posted a time of 46.39 to likewise earn All-America Honorable Mention status.
 
The Golden Bears have just one more man (discus world record-holder Mykolas Alekna) appearing at the NCAA Championships his week, with the men’s discus competition slated for Friday at 2:15 p.m. PT.

EUGENE, Ore. – Senior Nathan Green unlocked quite a rare achievement as he advanced to a fourth consecutive NCAA final at 1,500-meters, moving through his semifinal heat as the NCAA Outdoor Championships kicked off at Hayward Field. Green will try to extend UW’s winning streak in the event to four when he runs his final race as a Dawg on Friday.

 

Green earned a fourth-straight trip to the NCAA finals by successfully battling through a semifinal heat that went out slow for two laps before closing in a hurry, which put even more stress on finishing in the top-five and leaving nothing up to chance. The 2023 NCAA Champion was up in the front nearly the entire race, and he had the lead with about a thousand meters to go and held it nearly the rest of the way. He kept up the pace down the homestretch to make sure he stayed in the top group, and he came across the line in third overall in 3:52.19.

Senior Kyle Reinheimer came up just one spot shy of advancing to the men’s 800-meters final. He took third in his semi in 1:47.32, with only the top two guaranteed to move on. Reinheimer’s time would wind up 12th overall as he capped his stellar year with Second Team All-America honors both outdoors and indoors.
 
Another one year Husky grad student, Scott Toney, fell just a few spots shy of the podium. Toney had three clearances in the pole vault today, making 17-0, then 17-5 3/4, and 17-9 3/4 on a first attempt. But Toney couldn’t quite leave the bar standing at 18-1 3/4, going out after three attempts. He would finish 11th overall for Second Team All-America honors.
 
Thursday, the UW women’s team will get underway, with six Huskies slated to compete. The women’s 1,500-meters semis start at 4:21 p.m. with Chloe Foerster, Amina Maatoug, and Sophie O’Sullivan. Amanda and Hana Moll will look to cap their sophomore collegiate seasons on top in the pole vault at 4:35, and then Maggie Liebich runs the steeplechase semi at 4:38 p.m.
