DyeStat Women's NCAA Division 1 Indoor Form Chart Compiled by Jack Pfeifer of Lake Oswego, Ore./Photo courtesy Tyler Artis Name School Yr PR 60 Meters 1 Brianna Lyston, LSU, Jr, 7.03 2 Tima Godbless, LSU, So, 7.08 3 Indya Mayberry ,TCU, Fr, 7.11 4 Victoria Cameron, Tarleton State, Fr, 7.14 5 Jadyn Mays, Oregon, Sr, 7.11 6 Alexis Brown, Baylor, Sr, 7.14 7 Samirah Moody, USC, Jr, 7.15 8 Success Umukoro, Texas Tech, Sr, 7.13 Lyston, the defending champion, opened her season at Tyson. Two surprising freshmen are slotted 3-4 – TCU’s Mayberry and redshirt freshman Victoria Cameron, of Tarleton State University, in Stephenville, Texas, who already has 3 sub-7.20 races under her belt this winter. Cameron also starts on the Texans’ soccer team. Last year’s indoor runnerup, Kaila Jackson of Georgia, had a slow start to her indoor season. Oregon’s Mays was 3rd indoors and 4th outdoors a year ago. 200 Meters 1 JaMeesia Ford, South Carolina, So, 22.34 2 Indya Mayberry, TCU, Fr, 22.41 3 Niesha Burgher, UTEP, Sr, 22.39 4 Jadyn Mays, Oregon, Sr, 22.49 5 Adriana Tatum, Arizona State, Sr, 22.84 6 Dajaz DeFrand, USC, Jr, 22.91 7 Kelly Ufodiama, East Carolina, Fr, 22.76 8 Jassani Carter, USC, Jr, 22.93 Ford won the title a year ago as a freshman. She took the 2025 list lead after a slow start to her season. Mays, 3rd last year outdoors and indoors, was beaten by Burgher. 400 Meters 1 Isabella Whittaker, Arkansas, Sr, 50.87 2 Aaliyah Butler, Georgia, Jr, 50.85 3 Savannah Sutherland, Michigan, Sr, 51.67 4 Kaylyn Brown, Arkansas, So, 50.83 5 Jermaisha Arnold, Texas A&M, Sr, 51.75 6 Madison Whyte, USC, So, 51.93 7 Joanne Reid ,Arkansas, Sr, 51.80 The 400 field could have as many as five Olympians from Paris, two of whom won medals – Brown gold and silver for the U.S., Yemi John of USC bronze for Great Britain, all in relays – plus Ella Onojuvwevwo of LSU for Nigeria in the 4x4, Sutherland in the IH final for Canada and Whittaker a member of the U.S. relay pool. Whittaker arrives at Arkansas after graduating from Penn with a year of eligibility remaining. Sutherland was NCAA 400 hurdles champion two years ago for Michigan. A freshman in 2024, Brown did not even make this final last year but kept getting better as the season went along, eventually running 49.13, getting 4th in the Olympic Trials and running multiple legendary relay legs in Paris, but she has seen limited action so far indoors. Should South Carolina’s JaMeesia Ford run this event rather than the deuce, she will also be a threat. 800 Meters 1 Juliette Whittaker, Stanford, Jr, 1:59.44 2 Meghan Hunter, BYU, Sr, 2:00.21 3 Michaela Rose, LSU, Sr, 1:59.25 4 Sanu Jallow-Lockhart, Arkansas, Jr, 1:59.77 5 Victoria Bossong, Harvard, Sr, 2:00.79 6 Sophia Gorriaran, Harvard, So, 2:01.27 7 Hayley Kitching, Penn State, Sr, 2:01.14 8 Roisin Willis, Stanford, Jr, 1:59.93 This year’s field includes three half-milers from the Paris Olympics – Tharushi Kawnarathna (Tulane), who ran for Sri Lanka; Jallow-Lockhart (Gambia), and Whittaker, who made the Final, finishing 7th, after sweeping the NCAA titles indoors and out. She is joined by two other past NCAA champions in the field, Rose (outdoor champ in ’23, indoor runnerup last year) and Whittaker’s Stanford ‘mate Willis, indoor winner in ’23, outdoor runnerup last spring. Mile 1 Kimberley May, Providence, Sr, 4:27.36 2 Silan Ayyildiz, Oregon, Jr, 4:23.46 3 Wilma Nielsen, Oregon, Jr, 4:25.78 4 Laura Pellicoro, U Portland, Sr, 4:25.60 5 Riley Chamberlain, BYU, Jr, 4:26.19 6 Shannon Flockhart, Providence, Sr ,4:30.83 7 Melissa Riggins, Georgetown, Sr, 4:24.98 8 Grace Hartman, NC State, So, 4:24.76 Last year’s indoor and outdoor champion, Maia Ramsden of Harvard, turned professional. The next six finishers behind her indoors are all back, though runnerup Billah Jepkirui of Oklahoma State has been quiet this winter. Ayyildiz, a transfer from South Carolina to Eugene, broke the collegiate record. Her teammate Nielsen transferred from Washington. May was 3rd indoors and 2nd outdoors last year so is the favorite along with Providence teammate Flockhart. Only runners in the 4:20s will make the field of 16. 3,000 Meters 1 Lexy Halladay-Lowry, BYU, Sr, 8:40.60 2 Doris Lemngole, Alabama, So, 8:41.83 3 Amy Bunnage, Stanford, So, 8:43.82 4 Kimberley May, Providence, Sr, 8:44.73 5 Pamela Kosgei, New Mexico, Fr, 8:44.62 6 Ceili McCabe, West Virginia, Sr, 8:45.97 7 Margot Appleton, Virginia, Sr, 8:46.23 8 Elise Stearns, Northern Arizona, Sr, 8:41.07 Halladay-Lowry, Lemngole and McCabe are all steeplechasers outdoors. Lemngole is reigning NCAA champion while McCabe ran the steeple for Canada in the Paris Olympics. Aussie Bunnage was 4h in the XC championships in the fall for Stanford. 5,000 Meters 1 Doris Lemngole, Alabama, So, 14:52.57 2 Hilda Olemomoi, Florida, Sr, 14:52.84 3 Lexy Halladay-Lowry, BYU, Sr, 14:57.63 4 Amy Bunnage, Stanford, So, 15:00.75 5 Pamela Kosgei, New Mexico, Fr, 15:00.36 6 Chloe Thomas, U Conn, Jr, 15:17.47 7 Grace Hartman, NC State, Jr, 15:19.72 8 Lucy Jenks, Georgetown, Sr, 15:15.58 Lemngole, Halladay-Lowry and Olemomoi all finished in the top 5 a year ago and broke 15 minutes at BU in December. Kosgei and Bunnage are not far behind; all five of them may be doubling back the next day in the 3. 60-Meter Hurdles 1 Oneka Wilson, Clemson, Jr, 7.95 2 Aaliyah McCormick, Oregon, Jr, 7.98 3 Jaiya Covington, Texas A&M, Jr, 8.01 4 Naomi Krebs, Texas Tech, Jr, 7.97 5 Aasia Laurencin, Michigan, Sr, 8.04 6 Micaela De Mello, WSU, Sr, 8.02 7 Marissa Simpson, UTEP, Sr, 8.02 8 Myreanna Bebe, Tennessee, Sr, 8.03 With only one finalist returning from 2024 (McCormick, 7th), this event is wide open. De Mello, the lone returning outdoor finalist (also 7th), is past South American champion from Brazil. Iowa’s Paige Magee has run 7.99 indoors and 12.90 outdoors but has not regained top form so far this winter. 4x400 Seasonal Best How can you pick against the school that broke 3:20 last spring? Arkansas lost some of its stars but also rebuilt with the addition of Isabella Whittaker. South Carolina is plenty good and is defending champion after the disqualification of the Razorbacks in last year’s indoor final. Tennessee was 2nd outdoors, Texas 3rd, Georgia 4th. Distance Medley BYU led five teams under the collegiate record at Washington. They are defending champions as well as cross country champions last fall. High Jump 1 Elena Kulichenko, Georgia, Sr, 6-3 ¼ 2 Rose Yeboah, Illinois, So, 6-3 ½ 3 Rachel Glenn, Arkansas, Jr, 6-6 ¾ 4 Jenna Rogers, Nebraska, Sr, 6-4 ¼ 5 Temitope Adeshina, Texas Tech, So, 6-5 6 Bara Sajdokova, Illinois, Sr, 6-2 ¼ 7 Destiny Masters, Wichita, Sr, 6-1 ¼ 8 Alyssa Jones, Stanford, Jr, 6-1 ¼ Once upon a time, a 6-foot clearance meant sure points in an NCAA women’s high jump. No longer. It may take 6-5 to make the top 3. Kulichenko tied with Yeboah for last year’s outdoor title, while the multitalented Glenn won indoors on her way to a spot in the Olympics. Pole Vault 1 Amanda Moll, Washington, So,16-0 2 Chloe Timberg, Rutgers, Sr, 15-5 ¾ 3 Hana Moll, Washington, So, 15-3 ½ 4 Julia Fixsen, Va Tech, Sr, 15-0 ¼ 5 Tori Thomas, Illinois, Sr, 15-0 6 Molly Haywood, Baylor, So, 15-0 ¼ 7 Olivia Lueking, Oklahoma, Sr, 15-0 ¾ 8 Sydney Horn, High Point, Sr, 14-9 ½ Easily the greatest college women’s vault field ever assembled, with seven already over 15 feet this winter. Hana Moll won indoors a year ago, Timberg outdoors, but Hana’s sister, Amanda, went a stunning 16 feet in Albuquerque, the first collegian to do so. Long Jump 1 Anthaya Charlton, Florida, Jr, 22-10 ¾ 2 Tacoria Humphrey, Illinois, Sr, 22-3 3 Alexis Brown, Baylor, Sr, 22-3 ¾ 4 Alyssa Jones, Stanford, Jr, 21-10 ¼ 5 Funminiyi Olajide, Arkansas, Sr, 21-10 ¾ 6 Ida Breigan, UTSA, So, 21-7 ¼ 7 Elizabeth Ndudi, Illinois, So, 21-0 ¾ 8 Machaeda Linton, LSU, Jr, 21-9 Bahamian Charlton is just 2 inches from Jasmine Moore’s indoor collegiate record. Humphrey is the best of Illinois’s excellent stable of jumpers. Jones finished 3rd a year ago. Last year’s surprise champion, Sydney Willits of Iowa State, is redshirting. Triple Jump 1 Ruta Lasmane, Texas Tech, Sr, 47-5 ¾ 2 Winny Bii, Texas A&M, So, 45-11 ¾ 3 Shantae Foreman, Clemson, Jr, 45-5 4 Simone Johnson, San Jose State, Sr, 45-2 ½ 5 Machaeda Linton, LSU, Jr, 44-6 ¼ 6 Rhianna Phipps, Nebraska, Sr, 44-7 8 Darja Sopova, Illinois, Jr, 44-6 ¾ Lasmane, defending indoor champion, competed in the Paris Olympics for Latvia. Shot Put 1 Jaida Ross, Oregon, Sr, 61-9 ¾ 2 KeAyla Dove, Houston, Sr, 63-10 ¼ 3 Axelina Johansson, Nebraska, Sr, 61-0 4 Mya Lesnar, Colorado State, Sr, 62-8 5 Akaoma Odeluga, Ole Miss, So, 60-3 ¼ 6 Jayden Ulrich, Louisville, Sr, 60-4 ½ 7 Nina Ndubuisi, Texas, So, 60-2 ½ 8 Alida Van Daalen, Florida, Jr, 61-0 Eight shot putters over 60 feet! Lesnar, the defending champion, was beaten outdoors a year ago by Ross, Johansson and Ulrich. That indoor loss Ross suffered to Lesnar was her only defeat of the 2024 season to a collegian, as she went on to set the collegiate record outdoors, make the Olympic team and finish 4th in the Games. Nebraska’s Johansson, representing Sweden, also made the Olympic final, finishing 10th. Weight Throw 1 Giavonna Meeks, Cal, So, 77-3 ¼ 2 Shelby Frank, Texas Tech, Sr, 79-0 ½ 3 Gudrun Hallgrimsdottir, VCU, Sr, 80-11 4 Anthonett Nabwe, Minnesota, So, 76-7 ¾ 5 Sara Killinen, Va Tech, Sr, 74-8 ¼ 6 Chloe Lindeman, Wisconsin, Sr, 76-3 7 Kenna Curry, North Dakota, Sr, 75-0 ½ 8 Phethisang Makhethe, Illinois, Jr, 75-10 Meeks, list leader this winter, transferred from Vanderbilt to Berkeley over the off-season, while Frank, runnerup a year ago, left Minnesota for Texas Tech. Hallgrimsdottir was 4th a year ago. Her Icelandic countrywoman, Elisabet Rut Runarsdottir, was NCAA hammer champion for Texas State a year ago, as was Georgia’s Stephanie Ratcliffe for Harvard in 2023. Pentathlon 1 Jadin O’Brien, Notre Dame, Sr, 4552 2 Pippi Lotta Enok, Oklahoma, Sr, 4411 3 Lucie Kienast, Illinois, Fr, 4405 4 Jenelle Rogers, Ball State, Sr, 4430 5 Katelyn Adel, Alabama ,Fr, 4328 6 Kristine Blazevica, Illinois, Sr, 4430 7 Izzy Goudros, Harvard, Sr, 4313 8 Angel Richmore, Oklahoma, Sr, 4320 O’Brien is defending champion, while Enok was outdoor heptathlon champion in ’23. Blazevica, who has an outdoor best of 6146, transferred from Texas over the summer. She was 3rd last year. There are many newcomers from overseas, including Adel (Switzerland), Maresa Hense (Germany) of U Conn, Pauline Bikembo (France) of Iowa and Sofia Iakushina (Russia) of Texas A&M, all of whom who could be factors, along with Illini recruit Kienast (Germany).
