NCAA Men's Formchart - 6/9/25Published by
NCAA Men's D1 Outdoor Formchart By Jack Pfeifer for DyeStat/James Robinson Photo Place Name School Class 100 2 Abdul-Rasheed Saminu South Florida Jr 6 T'Mars McCallum Tennessee Jr 8 Mason Lawyer Washington St Jr Anthony, the indoor 60 champ, ran a fabulous 9.75w (+21, just over the allowable) in the West, while Saminu, an Olympic veteran for Ghana, posted a legal 9.86 in the East. Saminu was 4th indoors in the 60 and 5th a year ago in the century. There's plenty of sub-10 runners to choose from, including a legal 9.94 by Walker, the Big Ten champion for Iowa; a legal 9.95 by Ajayi behind Saminu; a windy 9.91 by Banks, one of five Trojans to advance in the event, and a windy 9.95 for the Cougars' Lawyer. McCallum (10.04) and Watkins (10.01) had the next best times in the East. 200 1 Makanakaishe Charamba Auburn Sr 3 T'Mars McCallum Tennessee Jr 5 Jaleel Croal South Florida Jr 6 Abdul-Rasheed Saminu South Florida Jr 8 Jamarion Stubbs Alabama State Jr A stunning six sprinters broke 20 flat in the Regionals, five of whom are from the East Regional. Arkansas's Jordan Anthony ran brilliantly in the SEC, beating Charamba with a legal 19.93, but the workload of 100/200/4x1 appeared to catch up with him at West Regionals, where he was a well-beaten runnerup to Butler (20.02) in his heat. The sole sub-20 runner in the West was SC's Kaalund, who was joined by teammates Eddie Nketia (20.24) and Max Thomas (20.05) in advancing. In the East, Charamba – runnerup to fellow Zimbabwean Makarawu indoors – had the fastest time of the day in the various Regional races, running 19.79w, ahead of Saminu (19.95w). The fastest legal time overall belonged to McCallum (19.83), ahead of Makarawu (19.93) and Croal (19.95). Charamba and Makarawu both made the Olympic final last summer in Paris. 400 3 Jayden Davis, Arizona State So 4 Micahi Danzy Florida State Fr 5 Auhmad Robinson Texas A&M Sr 7 Gabriel Moronta Jr South Florida Sr Ogazi, an Olympic finalist in Paris for Nigeria, ran 44.43 to win his East Regional race, just short of the seasonal collegiate lead of 44.38, set at the ACC by the freshman Danzy. Danzy however was 3rd in his heat at Regionals, just .01 ahead of the vulnerable 4th position. Jones had the fastest Regional time in the West, 45.32, .03 up on ASU's Davis. Robinson ran 44.61 earlier in the spring but faded to 8th at the SEC and was beaten by Davis at Regional. Floyd, the surprise indoor champ, was just 3rd in his heat in the East with the slowest qualifying time of the day, but he will be joined by two other Georgia Bulldogs, Shemar Chambers and Ervin Pearson. Moronta, a Dominican who went to high school in Pleasantville, N.J., ran 45.01 behind Ogazi in the East. Taylor, a converted basketball player from Ohio, ran 45.05 in a separate section. 800 1 Aidan McCarthy Cal Poly SLO Jr 5 Rynard Swanepoel Wake Forest Sr 6 Abdullahi Hassan Mississippi State Sr 7 Tinoda Matsatsa Georgetown So 8 Christian Jackson Virginia Tech Jr McCarthy (1:45.19 PR) was runnerup in 2023, sat out last season, then got 3rd this winter indoors. He was Big West champion. Whitmarsh (1:44.46) was runnerup a year ago and won SEC indoors and outdoors this season. Erickson (1:45.74) won indoors but was beaten at Big Ten after getting boxed in. Hassan (1:45.53), a transfer to Mississippi State from Wisconsin, was 4th at last year's Canadian championships. Matsatsa (1:45.04) was 4th indoors. Kidali, a talented 22-year-old Kenyan in his first year with the Ducks, has a lifetime best of 1:42.66. Erickson and Kidali are in good company at Oregon as five Ducks have won the NCAA 800 over the years – Elijah Greer (2013), Andrew Wheating (2009-2010), Joaquim Cruz (1983-84), David Mack (1982) and Wade Bell (1967). 1,500 3 Ethan Strand North Carolina Jr Green was NCAA outdoor champion in 2023, ran 3:32.20 in finishing 5th in last year's Olympic Trials, but was upset indoors by Georgetown's Teffra (3:35.81 PR), thus ending Washington's string of indoor and outdoor mile titles at five. Strand (3:33.41) won the indoor 3,000 with a spectacular kick, while Murphy (3:33.02) and Villanova teammate Marco Langon (3:33.38) defeated Virginia's Martin (3:33.41), the 3k runnerup, in a fast outdoor race this spring. Wisconsin's Spencer went home to Australia in the early Spring and finished 2nd in their Nationals in an impressive 3:34.57, then beat Green and Birnbaum to win the Big Ten in Eugene. He has finished 3rd the past two NCAA outdoors. In terms of PRs, this is the greatest mile field in college history. Steeplechase 2 Geoffrey Kirwa Louisville Fr 3 Matthew Kosgei New Mexico Fr 4 Rob McManus Montana State Jr 5 Collins Kiprop Kipngok Kentucky Fr Corrigan had a remarkable 2024 season. He began the year with a PR of 8:52.54, finished with 8:13.87. He was only 9th in the NCAA final but two weeks later, on the same track, finished 3rd in the Olympic Trials and made the U.S. team to Paris. He got down to 8:22.20 this spring to win the Big 12 over Ruto (8:25.42). The Kenyans Kirwa (8:13.89), Kosgei (8:22.13), Kipngok (8:22.67), Kiptanui (8:27.28) and Ruto have all run well this spring. Kipngok won the SEC in 8:26.33. McManus (8:26.83) is continuing the great steeple tradition in Bozeman. Others deserving mention, all in the low 8:30s, include Carson Williams of Furman, Benjamin Balazs of Oregon and Kole Mathison of Colorado. 5,000 2 Brian Musau Oklahoma State So 6 Valentin Soca Calif Baptist Jr 7 Fouad Messaoudi Oklahoma State Sr 8 Ethan Strand North Carolina Jr North Carolina's Parker Wolfe, defending champion, was a late scratch from Regionals. The Virginia miler Gary Martin, already qualified for the 1500, finished out of contention here. Samuel (13:04.92) was 2nd indoors, Hansen (13:12.65) 3rd, Langon (13:14.11) 6th. Of those three, Langon and Hansen will be fresh while many others, including Samuel, will be doubling back from either the 10 or the 15. Langon won the Big East outdoor in 13:27.21. In the West, Strangio and Musau were the heat winners. In the East, it was Hansen and Langon. 10,000 1 Ishmael Kipkurui New Mexico Fr 3 Evans Kurui Washington State So 4 Ernest Cheruiyot Texas Tech So 6 Denis Kipngetich Oklahoma State So 8 David Mullarkey Northern Arizona Sr Kipkurui (26:50.21) and Samuel (26:51.06), New Mexico teammates, finished 1-2 at The Ten and both went under the collegiate record. Kipkurui is a freshman from Kenya, Samuel – the defending champion – a sophomore from Eritrea. A number of other collegians have broken 28:00 this year, including Kurui (27:37.32), Schubert (27:45.63), Drew Bosley (27:53.48) of Northern Arizona and Cheruiyot. Schubert won the East over Alabama's Kiprop and Dennis Kipruto. Kurui runs for Washington State, whose alumni include two former world record holders in the 10,000, Samson Kimobwa and the legendary Henry Rono. 110 Hurdles 2 Jamar Marshall, Jr. Houston Sr 4 Ja'Qualon Scott Texas A&M Sr 5 Jerome Campbell Northern Colorado Jr 8 Oscar Smith Louisiana Tech Sr Smallwood (13.07w best) ran a brilliant 13.13 to turn back an excellent SEC field that included Tharp (13.15) and Scott (13.18), who were 2nd and 3rd respectively at last year's NCAA. Tharp was the indoor champ this winter, while Scott ran 13.09 a year ago in finishing 5th at the Olympic Trials. Campbell (13.30) was runnerup indoors, a finalist at this year's World Indoor for Jamaica, and is Big Sky champ for the Bears of Northern Colorado. Marshall (13.13) was Pac-12 champion three years ago for Arizona State before transferring to Houston. The fastest Regional times were 13.13 for Smallwood in the West, 13.14 for Tharp in the East. There were PRs all over the place at the East Regional – including 13.36 for Brann, 13.42 for Smith, 13.45 for Ethan Exilhomme of Northeastern -- but the times were faster out west, where, for example Heat I, with legal wind, Campbell and Extine both ran 13.23 behind Smallwood's 13.13. The slowest of the 24 qualifiers was an impressive 13.58. 400 Hurdles 4 Ja'Qualon Scott Texas A&M Sr 8 Xzaviah Taylor North Carolina A&T So Defending champion Caleb Dean of Texas Tech turned professional. Returning scorers are Ezekiel (2nd in 2024, 3rd in '23), who won the Big 12 in a season-leading 47.89; Scott, 4th (48.85), and Edlund, 5th (48.70). Ezekiel (Nigeria) and Edlund (Sweden) both ran in the Paris Olympics. Jevon Williams of Tennessee had the biggest mid-season race, but his season fell apart after that and he did not make it out of Regionals. Vol teammate Hinti surprisingly dominated the SEC (48.44) but ran just 49.83 at Regional, though he was a heat winner so may have done all he needed. Matulonis (49.54) set the meet record at Heps, where he repeated as champion; he was a close 2nd to Hinti at Regionals. Blackwood (48.83), Scott (48.87) and Ezekiel (49.03) were the heat winners in the West. 4x100 South Florida Tennessee Auburn Texas Minnesota Arkansas LSU USC Even though South Florida swept the Penn Relays 4x1 and 4x2 by substantial margins in April, it was nevertheless a surprise to see the Bulls dominate the East Regional, winning in 38.05, the season's fastest time and nearly half a second up on the rest of the field in either Region. Auburn, pre-conference list leader at 38.39-- whose coach, Leroy Burrell, also won this event as the Houston coach – is defending champion, but they did not enter a team at SEC. Instead, Tennessee won that race (38.20), defeating LSU (38.43), Arkansas (38.60), Texas (38.81) and Kentucky (38.82). Auburn had the 2nd-fastest time (38.51) at the East Regional. Kentucky (38.43) won Texas Relays, while Minnesota (38.66) beat South Florida (38.66) at Florida Relays and USC to win the Big Ten (38.54). 4x400 Georgia South Florida Texas A&M Florida USC Arizona State Arkansas South Carolina A&M returns three members (Cutler Zamzow, Kimar Farquharson, Auhmad Robinson) of last year's championship team, which ran 2:58.37. Arkansas, which has never won this event outdoors, was 2nd to the Aggies. USC last won the 4x400 in 2018, setting the then-collegiate record of 2:59.00 with a formidable team that included Olympians Rai Benjamin and Michael Norman, but the CR has since been advanced to 2:57.74, by Florida in in winning the 2023 title. Arizona State has not won this event in half a century. While SEC schools have done well in recent years, it was 15 years before they won their first mile-relay championship, by LSU in 1979. By then UCLA had won seven times, including six in succession. West Coast schools dominated in the early years, with wins by the Bruins, Trojans, Cal and Washington. The record for all-time wins is 10, shared by UCLA and Baylor. The Bruins haven't won in 25 years. Florida is list leader thus far this spring, winning the Tom Jones Invitational at 3:01.52. but it was Georgia (3:02.06) that won the SEC. A&M won Florida Relays at 3:02.15 and Penn Relays, the latter with a narrow win over South Florida; Arkansas won Mt. SAC over Arizona State, 3:01.82-3:01.85. If the team competition is close, it will come down to this concluding race. High Jump The order here matches the indoor result 1st through 4th. Wilson, who has a best of 7-6, was 2nd last year outdoors and 4th in 2023. Alofe (7-4 ½) defeated Kam to win Heps while Hayes beat teammate Kason O'Riley on misses at 7-4 ½ at Sun Belt. Arkansas freshman Scottie Vines jumped 7-6 this winter, was a disappointment at Nationals, but qualified out of the West. Rankin and Troupe had a spirited competition at SEC, clearing PRs of 7-6 and 7-5 respectively. Pole Vault 1 Aleksandr Solovev Texas A&M Fr 3 Arnie Grunert Western Illinois Jr Solovev, a freshman from Russia, and Garretson are both 19-foot vaulters. Garretson was outdoor runnerup in 2023. They finished 3rd and 4th indoors this winter, an event won by Simen Guttormsen, the younger brother of Sondre, 3-time champion for Princeton. Hammer won the Beach Inv with a PR 18-8 ¼. Johnston won the Big Ten with a PR/MR 18-6, ahead of Urlacher's 18-4. Solovev won the SEC at 18-9 ¼. Long Jump 1 Charles Godfred Minnesota So 4 Reinaldo Rodrigues Arizona Sr 5 Lokesh Sathyanathan Tarleton State Sr Godfred has been on a roll. He was 6th at last year's NCAA outdoor, the last time he lost a college meet. Last summer he won the Nigerian nationals with a PR 26-9 ¼. This season he jumped 26-0 indoors, won Florida Relays with 26-2 3/4w, Drake Relays with 26-8 1/4w, the Big Ten with 26-5 and the West Regional with 26-7. Clemons (PR of 26-11 ¾) was 3rd at last year's NCAA, 2nd at the Olympic Trials, jumped in the Paris Olympics and finished 3rd at this year's SEC, losing to freshman Keys's final-round 26-1 as well the 26-0 by Georgia's Channing Ferguson. Kelsey Daniel, this year's indoor champion for Texas, did not advance out of Regionals. This year's field actually includes the defending champion, USC's Stevenson (26-11 3/4). After a hit-or-miss spring – he was 11th at the Big Ten at 24-0 ¼ -- he jumped reasonably well at Regionals, jumping 25-8 ¾ for 5th. Some big windy marks in 2025 include Sathyanathan (26-8 ½), Heps champion Foster (26-7) and Big 12 champ Rodrigues (26-5). NC State freshman Adams (25-11) won the ACC on his final jump. The East Regional was won by little-known Louis Gordon of Albany (25-8 ¼). Triple Jump 3 Selva Prabhu Kansas State Fr 4 Theophilus Mudzengerere South Carolina Jr 7 Xavier Drumgoole Stanford Fr Green (55-7 PR) and Brown (55-4 ¼) were 3-5 outdoors in 2024. Green won in the West but Brown jumped only 52-8 ¾ for 3rd in the East behind Mudzengerere (53-9). Prabhu (54-1 ¼) was 2nd in the West. Missouri's Jonathan Seremes, a 24-year-old Frenchman (55-11), won indoors but was a no-show in the spring. Shot Put 1 Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan Ole Miss Jr 3 Chris Licata South Carolina Sr 4 Dylan Targgart South Carolina Sr 5 Thomas Kitchell North Carolina Sr 7 Fred Moudani Likibi Cincinnati Sr O'Hagan (69-3 ¼ PR), the Ole Miss junior from Rhode Island, has dominated the shot put in recent years though he was originally a weight throw specialist. He is reigning champion indoors and outdoors. Swarens, 3rd indoors, exploded to 70-1 ½ in early May, then won the Big Ten at 67-4 ¼. The rest of the field is closely bunched in the 67s, led by South Carolina teammates Licata (67-3 ½), runnerup indoors, and Targgart (67-1 ¼), 4th. Swarens and Targgart were 2-3 outdoors a year ago. Kitchell did 67-2 in the indoor season but was unable to match that at Nationals; the same was true of Moudani (67-8). Landa had a big PR 67-8 ¾ at Mt. SAC. Moudani came back outdoors to win the very competitive Big 12 meet with 66-6 ½. At East Regional, Robinson-O'Hagan and Licata were the only two past 65 feet. Discus 2 Ralford Mullings Oklahoma Sr 3 Dimitrios Pavlidis Kansas Sr 4 Uladzislau Puchko Va Tech So 5 Vincent Ugwoke South Florida Sr Alekna has been big news this spring, breaking the world record with a legendary throw of 247-11 in the wind tunnel at Ramona, Oklahoma. And yet, he has never won an NCAA championship, finishing 2nd by 2 cm in 2022 and 3rd in 2023, losing to Turner Washington and Roje Stona. Alekna redshirted in '24 to prepare for the 2024 Olympics and, though just 21 at the time, entered as the favorite, hoping to match his father as the Olympic champion for his home country of Lithuania. And yet, it was not to be, as in Round 4 he was passed by 3 cm by that same Roje Stona, who won Jamaica's first gold medal in the event. Jamaica is a big presence in the DT at the NCAA meet. This year's field includes Jamaicans Mullings (226-10); Raquil Broderick (207-0) of USC, runnerup last year as a freshman; Gunzell (209-7), and Brandon Lloyd (204-6) of Arizona State. Pavlidis broke the Greek national record by throwing 213-7 at Ramona. Other big throws this year include 207-2 for Puchko, 209-1 for Ugwoke, 208-7 for Tanner, 204-4 for Pinckney and 207-11 for Princeton's Casey Helm. Hammer 2 Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan Ole Miss Jr 3 Angelos Mantzouranis Minnesota So Kenneth Ikeji (253-0 PR) of Harvard, the 2023 champion and 2024 runnerup, has withdrawn. Zaltos redshirted last season after finishing 2nd to Ikeji in '23. He threw a PR this spring of 255-7. That trails only Zaltos's Greek countryman and Minnesota teammate Mantzouranis (257-11) on the yearly list, but Zaltos beat his younger teammate to win the Big Ten. Mantzouranis was 3rd at last year's NCAA. Robinson-O'Hagan, who won the SEC with a PR 248-5, has placed the last two years. He was 20 feet ahead of the rest of the East Regional field with 244-5, while Mantzouranis (249-8) and Zaltos (248-1) were 1-2 in the West, 18 feet ahead of Tanner of Air Force. Tanner (248-9 PR) is a rare 3-event thrower, also excelling in the shot and discus. Trey Knight (Cal State/Northridge), who threw 255-7 early, had three fouls at Regionals and did not advance. Javelin 1 Keyshawn Strachan Nebraska Jr 4 Moustafa Alsherif Georgia Sr 5 Remi Rougetet Mississippi State Sr 7 Tuomas Narhi Mississippi State Fr 8 Leikel Cabrera Gay Florida So Deysel, a South African, is the top returning scorer, having placed 3rd a year ago. He threw a PR and season-leading 270-2 to win the ACC. But at the East Regional, he took just one throw (236-3), for 5th. Strachan, a Bahamian, was 5th a year ago for Auburn. He has a seasonal best of 265-9 and the top PR (276-5) in the field. Newcomer Alsherif won Florida Relays (264-2) over Gay (255-4), but both were beaten in the SEC by Mississippi State's Rougetet (264-1). Alsherif won the East Regional (246-1). Stein (257-10/266-4), Big Ten runnerup, 7th a year ago, was 2nd at West Regional by 1cm to Strachan. Decathlon 2 Peyton Bair Mississippi State Jr 3 Brad Thomas Cal/Santa Barbara Sr 4 Paul Kallenberg Louisville Jr 5 Ryan Gregory Long Beach State So Steinforth passed up the past two NCAA seasons in order to represent his homeland, Germany, internationally, getting bronze at the recent World Indoor and finishing 15th at the Paris Olympics. He placed 4th at the 2023 NCAA and has a PR of 8287, tops in this year's field. He did not contest the Big Ten dec, nor did Iowa's Vogelsang. Steinforth is joined by German countryman Kallenberg, who PR'd with 7944 to win the ACC. Bair, the leading American in the field (8131), won the NCAA Indoor and was runnerup outdoors last spring to Texas's Leo Neugebauer, who went on to win silver in Paris. Thomas was surprise Big West champion with a big 8108 PR score. Recent 8000 scorer Roskelley tumbled at the Big 12, scoring just 7153 while BYU teammate Barton won with 7865, just ahead of Houston's Grant Levesque (7848).
