DyeStat NCAA D1 Women's Outdoor Formchart By Jack Pfeifer for DyeStat/Bobby Goddin Photo Place Name School Year 100 2 JaMeesia Ford South Carolina So 3 Shenese Walker Florida State Jr 6 Victoria Cameron Tarleton State So The freshman Mayberry won Texas Relays in March with the season’s fastest time (10.91w), then ran sparingly until winning the Big 12. Ford (11.02w), a relative newcomer to the century, beat Godbless by the narrowest of margins in the SEC, both running 11.055. Defrand (best of 10.94), a transfer from Florida State, was 60 champion indoors but was beaten at the Big Ten by teammate Moody. In the 60 final Jackson (10.95) was 3rd, the freshman Mayberry (10.91w) 4th, Moody (11.03w) 5th. Brianna Lyston (10.91) of LSU, outdoor runnerup last year, turned professional. Jackson was 5th outdoors last spring, Godbless 8th. Newcomer Cameron, a converted soccer player, won the WAC in 11.05. Walker won the ACC in 10.99w. 200 1 JaMeesia Ford South Carolina So 4 Jasmine MontgomeryTexas A&M Jr 7 Victoria Cameron Tarleton State So 8 Kelly Ufodiama East Carolina Fr Ford had a brilliant freshman season in 2024, running 22.08, finishing 2nd in the NCAA outdoor and making the 400 final in the Olympic Trials. The freshman Mayberry, who was running for North Crowley HS of Ft. Worth, Texas, at this time a year ago, ran 22.30 this winter indoors and won the NCAA. Defrand (22.34) was 4th. Montgomery (22.17w) was 2nd at Florida Relays to Georgia’s Dejanea Oakley, who is concentrating on the 400. Montgomery, who formerly ran for Oregon and Florida, was 2nd at SEC to Ford’s brilliant winning 22.01. USC’s Whyte (22.32), who won the difficult 2/4 double at the Big Ten, is running just the deuce. Cameron won the WAC in 22.51w, while Ufodiama (22.69) won the American. 400 7 Vimbayi Maisvorewa Auburn Sr Arkansas, which has dominated this event in recent years, this spring has Kaylyn Brown and Rosey Effiong. Brown (49.13 PR) won a silver medal in the Olympic 4x4 mixed relay last summer in Paris but her seasonal best has been a modest 50.35. She was 3rd at SEC to Butler and Onojuvwevwo. Effiong (49.72) redshirted this winter and has had a limited outdoor campaign. Butler also made last year’s Olympic team, running 3rd leg on the U.S. 4x4 in the heats and won a gold medal when the team won the Final. She is nearly a full second ahead of the field this spring at 49.44. Oakley has run 50.35, Joseph 50.79. There are more Olympians in this deep field. Onojuvwevwo (50.57) ran the 400 and the mixed relay for Nigeria; John (51.01) ran on the British 4x4 and came home with a bronze medal. 800 4 Gladys Chepngetich Clemson So 5 Smilla Kolbe North Florida Sr 6 Makayla Paige North Carolina Sr The field is full of NCAA champions. Paige (2:00.21) was surprise winners indoors but then lost to Chepngetich (1:59.68) at the outdoor ACC. Rose was outdoor champion in ’23, then followed that up last year by getting 4th in the Olympic Trials, narrowly missing the team. Willis won outdoors in ’23 as a freshman. Arkansas’s Jallow (1:59.29), 2nd at SEC to Rose, ran in the Paris Olympics for her native Gambia. Bossong (1:59.48) was runnerup this winter indoors, ahead of Kolbe (1:59.02) 5th and Chepngetich 8th. Rose, 4th a year ago, ran 1:58.12 on her home track earlier this month. The defending outdoor champion, Juliette Whittaker (1:57.76) of Stanford, made it all the way to the Olympic final in Paris; she is passing up the 2025 campaign. 1500 1 Klaudia Kazimierska Oregon Jr 4 Salma Elbadra South Carolina So 5 Maggi Congdon Northern Arizona Sr 8 Emmaculate Jemutai Kansas So Appleton PR’d in March in Raleigh, running 4:05.68 to defeat Providence’s May (4:06.58). Appleton was 3rd in the outdoor 15 in ’23. May was 2nd in the indoor mile, losing to Oregon’s Wilma Nielsen (4:07.38), who has not run outdoors. Ayyildiz (4:05.83), a South Carolina transfer who set the outdoor collegiate record in the mile at the Drake Relays, was 6th indoors and runnerup at the Big Ten, losing to Sophie O’Sullivan (4:08.69) of Washington. Kazimierska (3:59.95) had not been active since making the Olympic final in Paris for Poland until she ran 4:07.28 at home. She passed up the Big Ten 1500 in favor of a decisive victory in the 800. Congdon (4:02.79) was a surprise 3rd indoors. Elbadra has run 4:05.85, Barnett 4:06.66, Jemutai 4:08.60. Steeplechase 3 Angelina Napoleon NC State So 5 Katelyn Stewart-Barnett Michigan State Sr 6 Karrie Baloga Northern Arizona So Lemngole has already finished 1st or 2nd in five different NCAA championship races – 2024 champion in the steeplechase, 2024 cross-country and 2025 indoor 3,000, and runnerup in the ’23 cross and this year’s indoor 3k. Last month she broke her own collegiate steeplechase record, winning at Wake Forest in 9:10.13. She won the SEC handily in 9:20.83. Halladay-Lowry has had an excellent senior season at all distances, including a recent 9:18.05 steeple. Baloga and Napoleon are New York high school rivals. Baloga narrowly lost to Napoleon in the NY state meet in ’23. Napoleon set the national prep record for the 2k steeple. After a shaky freshman season, she has lowered her best this spring to 9:27.85 in winning the ACC. Other sub-9:40 competitors in the field are the Canadian Stewart-Barnett (9:36.96), the OU freshman Jeruto (9:34.71) and West Virginia’s Tait (9:37.62) of Great Britain. New Mexico’s Pamela Kosgei ran 9:15.93 this spring but is running the 5/10 double instead. 5,000 4 Elise Stearns Northern Arizona Sr 5 Chloe Scrimgeour Georgetown Jr 7 Marion Jepngetich New Mexico Fr Kosgei, a 20-year-old freshman from Kenya, took the collegiate lead in April in California, winning the Bryan Clay race in 14:52.45, just off Parker Valby’s collegiate record (14:52.18) from a year ago. Kosgei was 3rd indoors, Stearns (15:08.07) 4th, Kennedy (15:10.71) 5th. Olemomoi – last year’s runnerup in both the 5 and the 10 – was 3rd at Clay (15:04.65), just ahead of Scrimgeour (15:05.40) and Kennedy. Hartman ran a solo 14:58.11 at Duke. 10,000 4 Florence Caron Penn State Jr 6 Chloe Scrimgeour Georgetown Jr 7 Jadyn Keeler North Dakota Jr Hartman has been on a roll – 8th in the 10 a year ago, then 5th in XC, top six indoors in both the 3 and 5, then 1st in the Raleigh Relays 10 in 31:20.60, second on the 2025 collegiate list to Kosgei (31:02.73). Last year’s runnerup, Hilda Olemomoi (31:31.89 best) of Alabama, is running only the 5. Noe (31:59.22), 9th last year as a freshman, won the SEC. Oregon’s Cherotich (31:45.22) won the Big Ten in meet-record time but faded in the 5. Scrimgeour won the Big East in a solid 32:13.64. Naukot won the Big 12 for the Mountaineers. 100 Hurdles 7 Adaobi Tabugbo Central Florida Sr Harris didn’t enroll at Florida in time for the indoor season but she wasted little time establishing herself, winning Florida Relays in 12.69w, then winning the tough SEC (12.62 in the heats). She arrived as Jamaican high school champion from 2024 (12.95). Wilson (12.94) won the ACC, McCormick (12.86) the Big Ten. Covington (12.77w) was upset indoor champ. She was 3rd at SEC to Harris and Torian (12.92). Ndjip-Nyemeck (12.87) won Mt. SAC. Sey (12.76w) won the MEAC, Tabugbo (12.87) the Big 12. Garrett (12.75w) false-started at the SEC. 400 Hurdles 1 Savannah Sutherland Michigan Sr 5 Tyra Wilson Florida State Jr Sutherland was NCAA champion two years ago, then she and Rachel Glenn (53.46 PR) of Arkansas finished 2-3 behind USC’s Jasmin Jones last year. Sutherland (53.26) and Glenn were in the Paris Olympics. Sutherland made the finals of both the IH and the 4x4 for Canada, while Glenn went for the U.S., but in the HJ. Garrett, 4th a year ago for the Longhorns, won the SEC over the freshman Smith (54.56). Glenn, a no-show for that final, has since scratched from the NCAA meet. Smith was the top American prep last year, though she hails from the Virgin Islands. In a meeting of the Big 3 at the Tom Jones meet, Sutherland (53.46) prevailed narrowly over Glenn (53.48) and Garrett (53.73), a PR for the Longhorn. Prince, a transfer from Arizona, was 4th in a PR 55.49, ahead of Hebron. She was 3rd at SEC in 56.04 after a torrid first seven hurdles. Hebron defeated Wilson at the ACC. Duke has three entrants, led by Garozzo (55.77). 4x100 South Carolina Baylor USC LSU UCLA TCU Texas A&M Georgia Carolina won the Michael Johnson Invitational in April over host Baylor, 42.74-42.89, then won the tough SEC, while Baylor won the Big 12 in 42.73. USC has the fastest time of the year, 42.36 to win Mt. SAC in mid-April, then 43.00 to win the Big Ten. A&M won Florida Relays and has run 42.94. TCU (42.87) won Texas Relays. A&M has won the event six times, the most recent in 2014. LSU (43.01) has won it 16 times, USC three times including two recent successes, 2019 and 2021. 4x400 South Carolina Georgia USC Duke Kentucky Arkansas Miami UCLA Arkansas has won the past two years and the Razorbacks (3:23.69 seasonal best as the first college team at Tom Jones) won indoors, but their 400 lineup has thinned considerably since then. South Carolina (3:24.26) held off a late charge by the Georgia (3:24.85) anchor Aaliyah Butler to win the SEC. Georgia was runnerup indoors, Tennessee (3:27.25) 4th, A&M (3:28.43) 5th. Tennessee was outdoor runnerup a year ago. USC (3:27.72) has won the 4x4 on just two occasions since the race began in 1982, in 2018 and 1987. High Jump 1 Temitope Adeshina Texas Tech So 5 Kristi Perez-Snyman Missouri Sr 7 Cheyla Scott South Carolina Jr Kulichenko has tied for NCAA championships twice in the past 10 months, both times the competitors rejecting the “required” jumpoff for first place. Indoors this winter she tied Adeshina at 6-4 ¼; last June she matched Yeboah at 6-5 ½, a lifetime best for both. At the SEC she was upset by Perez-Snyman, a transfer to Missouri from Jacksonville, who PR’d at 6-2 ¾ for the win. Rachel Glenn (6-6 3/4 PR) of Arkansas has withdrawn. Four of them jumped in Paris for their respective countries, Kulichenko – a native Russian – for her adopted Cyprus, Adeshina for Nigeria, Yeboah for Ghana and Glenn for the U.S. Rogers tied for 3rd at the U.S. Trials but did not have the standard. She had an excellent winter, going 6-4 ¼, but slipped at Indoor Nationals. Adeshina had a big clearance of 6-5 ½ to take the Big 12. Pole Vault 5 Mason Meinershagen Kansas So 6 Marleen Mulla South Dakota Jr 7 Tatum Moku Washington State So The Moll twins have been unstoppable. Each one has already won an NCAA championship – Amanda this winter indoors, Hana last year outdoors. At the Big Ten indoor in February, Amanda needed to clear 16-1 ¼ to win the competition because her sister was ahead on misses at 15-9 ¼ -- and she did so, as both exceeded the old collegiate record. Amanda finally missed at 5.00, a height only four women have cleared in world history. Even so, the rest of the field isn’t that far behind as at least six others are 15-footers. Lueking (15-0 ¾ best) was 3rd indoors behind the Molls and won Texas Relays. Meinershagen (14-11 ½) was 4th and indoors but lost to Haywood at Big 12. Timberg, the reigning outdoor champion, had an excellent 15-5 ¾ clearance in January but has struggled since, finishing 4th at Big Ten indoor and 10th at Nationals. Long Jump 2 Tacoria Humphrey Illinois Sr 7 Prestina Ochonogor Tarleton State Fr Brown won indoors, jumped a windy 22-11 ¾ to win Texas Relays, then took the Big 12 with a big legal jump of 23-0 ¾. Humphrey had an undefeated indoor season, including 22-9 ¼ to win the Big Ten, until losing to Brown at Nationals. She has jumped 22-1 this spring. Jones (22-4 ¼) and Charlton (22-11) were 3rd and 4th respectively at NCAA Indoor and last year’s Outdoor. Triple Jump 3 Emilia Sjostrand San Jose State Sr 4 Victoria Gorlova Texas Tech Sr 5 Tamiah Washington Texas Tech So 8 Busola Akinduro Texas Tech Sr Dwol was indoor champ and jumped 45-11 ¾ windy to win Texas Relays. Bii, 4th indoors, transferred to A&M from Oklahoma State and has also jumped 45-11 ¾ this campaign. Foreman (45-9 ¼) was 5th indoors. Sjostrand has the best PR in the field (46-2 3/4) but was only 9th indoors after finishing 3rd outdoors in 2024. Last year’s defending champion in both horizontal jumps, Ackelia Smith of Texas, turned professional. The Russian native Gorlova jumped 46-0 this winter in Moscow. She won the Big 12 over Washington (44-8 ¾), who was 2nd indoors. Porter (44-5 ½) won the Big Ten. Shot Put 1 Mya Lesner Colorado State Sr 8 Kelsie Murrell-Ross Georgia Sr Nebraska’s Axelina Johansson, defending champion, is redshirting, and Oregon’s Jaida Ross, collegiate recordholder at 65-7 ¾ who was runnerup indoors, is out of eligibility. Behind them indoors, Dove (63-10 ¼ best) and Lesnar (64-3 3/4) were 3-4. Since then Dove has had a modest outdoor campaign, winning the Big 12 but failing to reach 60 feet while Lesnar has been over 64. The Illini’s Smith had a big PR of 62-1 to defeat Odeluga (PR of 62-1 ¼) by 2 ½ inches at Tom Jones. The Texas sophomore Ndubuisi took the measure of Odeluga at SEC, 62-0 ½ to 61-1 ½. Ulrich, who has put 61-2 ¾, won the ACC. Discus 3 Cierra Jackson Fresno State Sr 5 Amanda Ngandu-Ntumba Cincinnati Sr Ulrich, a surprise member of last year’s U.S. Olympic team, threw 227-8 in the wind tunnel at Ramona, Oklahoma, this spring. She was NCAA runnerup a year ago, just ahead of Van Daalen (217-6 PR) and Frank (203-10). Van Daalen also threw in Paris in 2024, for the Netherlands, as did Lindfors (205-0), for Sweden. Lindfors is a transfer from Florida State, Frank from Minnesota. Hammer 1 Stephanie Ratcliffe Georgia Sr 5 Emma Robbins Oklahoma State Sr 6 Anthonett Nabwe Minnesota So 7 Gudrun Hallgrimsdottir VCU Sr The field includes two past NCAA champions – Elisabet Rut Runarsdottir of Texas State, the defending champion, who is redshirting, and Ratcliffe, a Georgia senior who won the 2023 title for Harvard. Ratcliffe threw 232-0 to win the SEC, making her one of many contenders for this year’s championship in what figures to be one of the most tightly contested events the NCAA has had in years. Ratcliffe threw for Australia in the Paris Olympics and has a lifetime best of 241-7, the best in the field. Fink, who hails from Three Lakes, Wis., is a first-class cadet, or “firstie,” at West Point. She took over the seasonal lead at 233-4, winning the ECAC by 55 feet. No U.S. Military Academy athlete has ever won an NCAA championship in track and field. Frank threw 230-10 to win the Big 12 for Texas Tech and was a finalist a year ago for Minnesota. Roberts (232-10) won the Sun Belt. An Australian, Roberts was 14th last year as a freshman. The much-traveled Robbins (229-9), a 5th-year senior at Oklahoma State, has also competed for Kansas State and LSU. Nabwe’s 229-2 PR won the Big Ten over PRs by two rivals, Phethisang Makhethe (225-3) of Illinois and Chloe Lindeman (222-9) of Wisconsin. Javelin 2 McKyla Van Der Westhuizen Rice Jr 7 Valentina Barrios Bornacelli Missouri Jr Wasn’t that long ago (2013) that the winning throw was a mere 180-3. That distance will not even make the Finals now. Rotundo was South American champion last year for the small nation of Uruguay and her big throw (210-6) at Florida Relays this month was just one inch from Rhema Otabor’s year-old collegiate record set in winning last year’s NCAA, but she slipped to 3rd at SEC, losing to teammate Davidson and Bornacelli, who PR’d at 190-11. Davidson (209-3 PR this spring) and Van Der Westhuizen (197-10) were 2-3 a year ago at Nationals, while Harris, returning from a redshirt season, was U.S. champion in 2023, throwing 199-3. Jepkemboi (190-1 best) won the Big 12 at 188-11. Heptathlon 1 Sofia Iakushina Texas A&M Fr 2 Pippi Lotta Enok Oklahoma Jr 6 Sofia Cosculluela Washington Fr Iakushina, a 19-year-old freshman from Russia, upset indoor champ O’Brien earlier this month 6260-6231. Enok scored 6165 in winning the 2023 NCAA, then 6258 at Mt SAC; she was silver medalist at the World Juniors four years ago for Estonia. Williams scored 5914 to win the Big Ten in a spirited competition over Kienast (5851) and Johnson (5820). Goudros (5807) was 6th indoors. Unofficially, the cutoff for making this year’s field of 24 appears to be 5551.
