CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The UNT track and field teams completed competition at the 2025 American Athletic Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday evening, highlighted by individual titles from Jake Parchman and London Culbreath.
Parchman won his second conference championship of the season after having come up short of the podium in each of his first three seasons. After winning the weight throw at the AAC Indoor Championships, Parchman claimed the program’s first ever gold medal in the men’s hammer throw. His winning throw came on his fifth attempt when he launched it 65.13 meters, marking his third-longest throw of the season and his career.
Culbreath broke through on Saturday to claim her first career conference title in the 1,500 meters. She posted the best time of her career in the finals, clocking a 4:24.60, which gave her a cushion of over three seconds to the runner-up from Tulane. Culbreath also placed in the 800 meters where she took seventh and finished fifth in the 5,000 meters, totaling a team-high 16 points for the meet across the three events.
In total, the Mean Green recorded all-conference honors in 10 events, including eight individual performances and the men’s 4×100 and men’s 4×400-meter relay. The men’s team collected 80 points to finish fifth in the team standings and ended up just three points shy of third place. The women’s team landed in eighth with 66 points.
“I’m proud of both the men and women for their resilience this entire weekend,” head coach Doug Marshall said. “We fought hard from start to finish and as a coach that is all you can ask for. We have some improvements to make moving into regionals for those that make it. We will attack recruiting hard this summer and build a complete team to fight for a championship next year. I want to give a special shout out to our amazing administration for all their support.”
The men’s team made a consistent push toward the top of the leaderboard throughout the meet, beginning with Parchman on Thursday. Akeel Hanchard also earned a spot on the podium, taking third in the men’s javelin for the second consecutive year. Hanchard and Vitus Hansgaard, who placed fourth, both posted personal bests to become the third and fourth best performers in school history in the event.
Derrick Warren added eight points to the men’s score with a runner-up finish in the long jump on Friday. The Sam Houston transfer became the first Mean Green male to earn outdoor all-conference honors in the long jump since Jarrod Stone in 2005.
After breaking his own school record in the 110-meter hurdles prelims on Friday with a 13.76, Hendrick Hundl claimed third place in the finals, clocking a 13.85. Chase Lehr also finished on the podium for the second time this season in the 800 meters, taking second with a time of 1:49.76. Finally, both men’s relay teams placed third on Saturday, with the 4×100-meter group clocking a season best 39.84 and the 4×400 team posting the second-fastest time in school history at 3:07.62.
On the women’s side, the throwers had an impressive meet with true freshmen Ava Roberts and Bolaji Subair earning all-conference honors. Roberts followed up an incredible indoor conference meet where she placed third in the shot put with an even better outdoor meet, taking second with a personal-best mark of 15.58 meters. Subair placed second in the discus with a school-record throw of 51.55 meters for her first all-conference finish. Mackenzie Kuehl was another female thrower to earn all-conference accolades for the first time, placing third in the javelin with a PR of 48.51 meters.
Other notable finishes for the women included the 4×100-meter team taking fourth with the fifth-fastest time in program history, and Aariyana Williams placing fifth in the 400 meters with a 53.16. The nationally ranked women’s 100 meters group combined for six points courtesy of C’Nai Childress and Trezeguet Taylor, who placed fourth and eighth in the finals.
In total, the North Texas saw 24 athletes record personal bests at the conference championships. The Mean Green will wait to see who advances to the NCAA West Preliminary Round in College Station May 28-31.

Cardinals Volleyball, Women’s And Men’s Soccer Eager To See New-Look Teams This Fall | News, Sports, Jobs

WHEELING – Wheeling University’s Fall Sports Media Day on Tuesday gave the Cardinals coaches an opportunity to speak their peace about their team’s upcoming season,. After reviewing Wheeling’s football, men’s and women’s rugby teams yesterday, today the Cardinals volleyball, men’s soccer and women’s soccer go under the magnifying glass.
VOLLEYBALL
Last Season’s Record: 27-11 (12-2 MEC)
NCAA DII Regional Championship runners-up
Cardinals head coach Christy Benner made it clear what her squad’s mission this year will be: to maintain her team’s past level of success while working in several new faces.
Wheeling graduated 10 seniors this past year, a group that had won three MEC championships in their careers. In their place comes a 10-woman freshman class.
“We’re entering the season with a completely new look,” Benner said. “We graduated 10 incredible players last year, a great group that helped carry on the tradition of excellence and our winning culture. Now we welcome 10 freshmen into the program. With that comes a new identity, a lot of excitement and an opportunity to build something special. I truly believe we have a great schedule this season. It’s challenging, and that is exactly what this young team will need.”
On the court, Wheeling will be led on the attack by players like Katie Wilking and last year’s MEC Freshman of the Year, Olivia Bach, while players like senior libero Melia Gorrell will be critical on the backline.
“Our program has a strong winning culture, one that is built over time- the tradition, high standards and core values that we reinforce every day,” Benner said. “It is not just about what we do on the court but how we carry ourselves in everything we do. We emphasize commitment, pride and unity, and above all, the importance of being a great teammate. These values are the foundation of who we are and what makes Wheeling volleyball special.”
Wheeling is welcoming former Wheeling volleyball standout- and the Cardinals’ all-time leader in assists- Karly Niesen to their staff as an assistant this year.
The Cardinals will begin their season with tough competition at a series of invitational tournaments which includes the West Florida Invitational, Grand Valley State Invitational, and the Cardinals’ own Wheeling Invitational.
“Fall is such an exciting time of year,” Benner said. “It brings in new student-athletes, and another opportunity to build on the tradition of excellence that defines Wheeling volleyball.”
WOMEN’S SOCCER
Last Season’s Record: 5-13-1 (3-10-1 MEC)
The Cardinals made it to the MEC Tournament last season for the second time in three years, and embark on the 2025 fall season looking to build upon a strong spring soccer season.
“The most important thing we’ve had to do is kind of reset expectations, to make sure everyone in the program understands we’re here to win, not just to compete or take part, we’re here to win,” head coach Ryan Wall said.
“We’ve done a good job of doing that, I feel. We earned a playoff berth in the fall, we made a good account of ourselves there, We went on to have a spring season which was a very positive spring season. We won more games this spring than we’d won in a while, which showed that we’re trending upwards and we’re really excited about that.”
The Cardinals will feature players like sophomore Lily Hanna, who tied for the team lead last year with nine goals, and senior keeper Sam Faulkner out on the pitch.
“To add to that, with the quality of the returning class coming back, we have a really good recruiting class coming in- which includes two players coming in who’ve represented their countries at the national team-level- we’re really excited,” Wall said.
“One of the most important things we want to do is make sure this program is back to where it used to be […] which is competing for the MEC title. We think we’re in a good way this fall, and we’re excited to give that a good push and I’m looking forward to a really strong season.”
MEN’S SOCCER
Last Season’s Record: 2-12-4 (1-10-3)
Wheeling head coach Brandon Regan understands last year contained some struggles for his young team, but is looking forward to seeing a still-developing group grow up this season. The question is, how much growth is in store?
Strong continuity is a good start to answering that question.
“We have a very good core of guys returning, we return 27 from last year,” Regan said. “A very young group- six of the 11 starters were freshmen last year. Certainly had growing pains last fall but the spring was a big turning point for us. We had some very good results, we beat Tiffin who were G-MAC champions. The six freshmen [starters] are all returning.”
Players to look out for this year include All-MEC honorable mention Joergen Bjerkreim as well as Jon-Michael Gordon, who missed all of last year with an injury, and Jordan Taylor.
“We’re looking forward to being back in contention in the conference again,” Regan said. “Young group last year, I think we can be very competitive this year and hopefully within the top four, competing for a conference championship.”
The Cardinals are welcoming eight freshmen and transfers onto their team for the fall. Regan noted the short amount of time his crew would have to get ready for the season, with a few weeks of practice before playing three preseason games.
“It’ll be interesting to find out how the new guys integrate in a short timespan, but certainly they’ll be valuable to the team and hopefully they can help us out,” Regan said.
USC Women’s Volleyball’s Adonia Faumuina Tabbed for Preseason Big Ten All-Conference Honors
ROSEMONT, Ill. – USC women’s volleyball junior outside hitter Adonia Faumuina (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly HS) was named to the Big Ten Preseason All-Conference Team, the league announced on Thursday, July 24.

ROSEMONT, Ill. – USC women’s volleyball junior outside hitter Adonia Faumuina (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly HS) was named to the Big Ten Preseason All-Conference Team, the league announced on Thursday, July 24. The Big Ten also announced the results of its preseason poll, which had the Women of Troy sixth.
Faumuina is the Trojans’ leading returning scorer (2.93 pps) in 2025. She produced 299 kills (2.51 kps), 98 digs, and 90 blocks (0.76 bps) as a starting pin-hitter in 2024.
Despite her status as a redshirt junior, Faumuina has played only one full season at USC. After sitting out most of her freshman season (2022) due to injury, she was pressed into action in the final regular-season match after then-starting setter Mia Tuaniga was forced to sit because of a leg injury. Faumuina led USC to a victory over crosstown rival UCLA and produced a double-double (39 assists, 12 digs) in her first collegiate match. She then set the Trojans to an NCAA first-round win over High Point with 40 assists and five digs. Another injury sidelined Faumuina for the 2023 season but her return to action as a redshirt sophomore in 2024 yielded immediate results as she helped the Trojans reach the NCAA tournament for a third straight year.
Faumuina and redshirt sophomore middle blocker Leah Ford (Keller, Texas/Keller HS) will represent USC at the upcoming Big Ten Volleyball Media Days in Chicago (July 28-29). Please visit BigTen.org for more information.
The league’s coaches selected the Trojans to finish sixth according to the Big Ten’s preseason poll. Last season, the Trojans were picked seventh and finished in a sixth-place tie with Minnesota. 2024 co-league champions Nebraska and Penn State were picked one and two respectively. The Nittany Lions are the defending NCAA champion. Wisconsin (3), Minnesota (4), and UCLA (5) rounded out the top five. USC’s sixth-place selection was followed by Purdue (7), Washington (8), Illinois (9) and Michigan (10) in the top 10. Indiana (11), Oregon (12), Ohio State (13), Michigan State (14), and Northwestern (15) came next. Maryland (16), Iowa (17), and Rutgers (18) were 16-18.
Last season, USC was awarded the sixth seed and made its 40th all-time appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Women of Troy (22-10) defeated UT Arlington in a three-set sweep in the first round to advance to the second round for the 35th time. There, the Trojans were eliminated by third-seeded and 13th-ranked site host Texas. USC reached 20 wins for the second time under head coach Brad Keller to earn its third consecutive berth in the tourney. Setter Mia Tuaniga set a new school record for career assists and was named to the AVCA All-America third team. She and outside hitter Ally Batenhorst were each AVCA All-Region choices and were drafted in the PVF Draft.
The Trojans open the 2025 season as host to Denver on Friday, Aug. 29. USC takes on the Pioneers at Galen Center in a 7 p.m. PT match that wil be shown live on Big Ten Plus. Season ticket packages are now available for purchase at USCTrojans.com/tickets.

He posted a runner-up finish at the PAC Outdoor Championships after clearing 1.86 meters (6-01.25).
Led by 18th-year head coach Tim McNeil, Westminster finished fourth at this year’s PAC Indoor Championships with 81 points and fifth at the PAC Outdoor Championships after racking up 89 points.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Three Nebraska volleyball star players are hosting a youth camp in Lincoln this week.
Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly welcomed roughly 1,000 youngsters to Speedway Sports Complex on Wednesday, with an equal amount expected Thursday. The camp is being run by FlexWork Sports, a national company that organized Dylan Raiola’s youth football camp on Saturday.
Because of demand, the volleyball camp is offering four sessions of approximately 500 participants each. At the camp, youngsters get to work with the Husker trio, as well as take pictures and receive autographs.
Jackson, Murray, and Reilly are all returning AVCA All-Americans. Each of the players are on the preseason watch list for college volleyball’s Division I Player of the Year.
