COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The outdoor season came to an end for the UNT track and field program on Saturday with the conclusion of the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds in College Station, Texas.
 
The Mean Green had 12 qualifiers in individual events, marking the most of the Doug Marshall era and tying the most since 2010.
 
Hendrick Hundl and Chase Lehr advanced to the quarterfinals in their respective events, while Jake Parchman was just two spots shy of a trip to the NCAA Championships in the hammer throw.
 
Parchman wrapped up his decorated career with his second appearance at the regional meet. The American Athletic Conference champion posted a mark of 65.09 meters on his first of three attempts. Despite the mark being the fourth best in school history, Parchman finished 14th, coming just short of a berth to Eugene.
 
Hundl also earned a spot in the NCAA West First Round for the second time in his career after doing so at Sam Houston in 2024. Hundl took third in his heat in the first round with a time of 13.83 to automatically advance to the quarterfinals. He became the first UNT athlete to advance to the quarterfinals in the 110-meter hurdles since at least 2005. In the quarterfinals, Hundl clipped the seventh hurdle leading to a time of 14.11 and 20th-place finish.
 
Lehr clocked a personal best 1:48.65 in the prelims to earn a spot in the quarterfinal round of the 800 meters. The sophomore made the most of his opportunity after being a late addition to the field, finishing 22^nd in the region.
 
The men’s team also saw Vitus Hansgaard wrap up his career in his fourth appearance at the NCAA West Preliminary Round. Hansgaard placed one spot ahead of teammate Akeel Hanchard, who was making his first appearance in the national postseason. The duo placed 32nd and 33rd with throws of 62.91 meters and 62.47 meters.
 
Derrick Warren and Clarence McGill also competed Wednesday in the first round for the Mean Green. Warren placed No. 41 with a mark of 7.04 meters in the long jump, while McGill’s time of 51.75 in the 400-meter hurdles was good for 35th place.
 
The women’s team had five representatives at the meet with two on the track and three in field events.
 
Aariyana Williams nearly made it to the quarterfinals in the 400 meters with a time of 53.16 to place No. 25. It was the third consecutive race that Williams clocked a 53.16, tying her personal best and the second-fastest mark in school history. Morgan Taylor ended her career by taking 45th place in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.09.
 
Mackenzie Kuehl was the first of the women’s athletes to compete on Thursday, The junior placed No. 34 in the javelin throw with a mark of 44.71 meters in her first regional appearance. Meanwhile, Ava Roberts put a bow on a stellar freshman season that featured two all-conference honors with a 38th-place finish in the shot put. Brya Brewer was the final North Texas athlete to compete with the women’s triple jump being contested on Saturday, but failed to record a mark.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The 2025 outdoor season came to a close for the UT Arlington track and field team on the fourth and final day of the NCAA West Regional at E.B. Cushing Stadium on the campus of Texas A&M down in College Station.
 
Winnie Kipsang was the lone Maverick to compete on the day, looking to punch her ticket to TrackTown USA in the women’s 800m. The top three from each heat plus the next three fastest times move on to Eugene. Kipsang ran in heat two of three, finishing fifth overall with a time of 2:04.66. It was Kipsang’s fastest time of the outdoor season and just short of her personal record of 2:04.61.
 
Kipsang fell just short of moving on to Eugene, finishing 14th overall with the top 12 moving on.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Senior Jennifer Mui completed her standout career with a 37th-place finish in the women’s 3,000 Steeplechase (SC) at the NCAA East Region Track & Field Meet on Saturday evening at the Jax Track at Hodges Stadium.

Running in the third of three 16-runner heats, Mui was 14th with a time of 10:35.79. She was making her first career appearance at the NCAA East Region Meet and entered the weekend seeded No. 40 out of 48 qualifiers.

Earlier in the month, Mui won her second straight America East 3,000 SC crown. She concludes her Binghamton career as a three-time outdoor track & field all-conference honoree.

Mui was the last of Binghamton’s three entries to compete at the NCAA East Region Meet this weekend. Redshirt sophomore Brian Luciano was 14th in the men’s hammer on Wednesday while on Friday evening, graduate student Marcus Johnson was seventh overall in the 400 hurdle finals and punched his ticket to the NCAA Championships.

The NCAA Championships will be held June 11-14 at the University of Oregon.

TCU had no answer for USC as they lost their first game of the regional 13-1.

This is a start that Tommy LaPour wanted to forget. He went three innings while allowing three runs on six hits with one walk and five strikeouts. He also hit two batters.

USC got on the board first in the second inning with an RBI single from catcher Richard Tejeda, who brought second baseman Abbrie Covarrubias in. This made the score 1-0.

The Trojans would add on in the fourth inning, making the score 3-0. Right fielder Jack Basseer hit a RBI single, bringing Covarrubias home. Which was followed up by a fielder’s choice from third baseman Ethan Hedges.

TCU would finally get on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run from designated hitter Sawyer Strosnider. He pulled the call and deposited it into right field. This made the TCU’s deficit 4-1, the closest TCU would get.

USC would pile on in the sixth inning. Shortstop Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek would single with the bases loaded and bring Tejeda in. First baseman Adrian Lopez would continue the scoring as he would single and bring center fielder Brayden Dowd in.

Covarrubias would cap off the inning with a sacrifice fly to bring in Hedges and give USC a 6-1 lead.

The game would not improve for TCU as USC tacked on a pair of three-run innings in the seventh and ninth innings. The Horned Frogs pitchers shot themselves in the foot in those innings as they walked five batters, hit two and had a throwing error.

The Frogs must improve to extend its run in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament. TCU will be in the loser’s bracket of the regional, so TCU will have to win out to win the regional. TCU will play Oregon State Saturday at 2 p.m. on ESPN+.
