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 5 Jasmine Montgomery Texas A&M Jr 8 Victoria Cameron Tarleton State So Defrand (best of 10.94), a transfer from Florida State, took command of the vast sprint corps at USC in the winter, culminating in winning the indoor NCAA 60. Then things got rocky, she missed time, and at the Big Ten she was beaten, sandwiched between teammates Moody and Jassani Carter in a modest 11.18 – the time tempered by the cool conditions in Eugene. Did Regionals sort things out? Hardly. In the six finals, 10 women ran in the range of 10.98-11.03 – half of a tenth of a second. By a scant .01, Defrand was the fastest heat winner (11.00) in the West and she gets the nod here, followed closely by the heat winners in the East, Walker (10.98), the ACC champ from Florida State; Bertrand (10.99), 4th at the Big Ten, and Ford (11.00), a 200 specialist who now fancies the century as well. The freshman Indya Mayberry of TCU, our midseason favorite to win the 100, was a well-beaten 3rd (11.15) in her Regional race. Similarly, Georgia's Kaila Jackson got a 3rd place (11.17), then failed to show for the 200. Out west, obscure Victoria Cameron, a transformed soccer player at Tarleton State in Texas, won her heat in 11.01, leaving four Trojans in her wake – including Moody – then did not take the line for the deuce. Given the closeness of the field, there are numerous others deserving mention, including two other Trojans, Carter (11.06) and Brianna Selby (11.03); comebacking Joella Lloyd (11.01) of Florida State, and long jumper Anthaya Charlton (11.01) of Florida. Brianna Lyston (10.91) of LSU, outdoor runnerup a year ago, turned professional. 200 1 JaMeesia Ford South Carolina So 3 Jasmine MontgomeryTexas A&M Jr 6 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, then another 22.30 at Regionals, despite struggling earlier in the day in the century. Defrand (22.33) was 4th indoors. Montgomery (22.17w/22.26), who formerly ran for Oregon and Florida, was 2nd at Florida Relays, then 2nd to Ford at SEC, 22.01 to 22.39. USC's Whyte, who won the difficult 2/4 double at the Big Ten, dropped the one-lapper and ran a bigtime 22.16 at Regionals. She is one of the few contenders in the deuce who will not be running two individual events, though she is expected to have plenty of relay duty. 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 4x400 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 (1:59.73) was surprise winners indoors but then lost to Chepngetich (1:59.47) at the outdoor ACC and at Regionals; both PR'd in that race. Rose was outdoor champion in '23, then followed that up last year by getting 4th in the Olympic Trials, narrowly missing the team. She has run 1:58.12 this spring, topping the field. Willis won outdoors in '23 as a freshman, then got under 2 minutes (1:59.81) at Regionals. Arkansas's Jallow (1:59.29), 2nd at SEC to Rose, ran in the Paris Olympics for her native Gambia. At Regionals she went out hard and died, barely making the field. Bossong (1:59.48) was runnerup this winter indoors, ahead of Kolbe (1:59.02) 5th and Chepngetich 8th. The defending outdoor champion, Juliette Whittaker (1:57.76) of Stanford, made it all the way to the Olympic final in Paris, but is not running the 2025 campaign. Hunter ripped off a 1:58.95 at Regionals, winning by three seconds. 1500 2 Maggi Congdon Northern Arizona Sr 3 Klaudia Kazimierska Oregon Jr 4 Shannon Flockhart Providence Sr 5 Salma Elbadra South Carolina So 7 Chloe Foerster Washington Jr Appleton PR'd in March in Raleigh, running 4:05.68 to defeat Providence's Kimberley 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 did 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 followed that up by running 4:03.26 in late May in California. She passed up the Big Ten 1,500 in favor of a decisive victory in the 800. Congdon (4:02.79), a surprise 3rd indoors, defeated Kazimierska and Ayyildiz at Regional, thus is picked 2nd here. There were PRs all over at the two Regionals as 17 in all broke 4:10. In Heat II in the East, Flockhart (4:04.97) led Bahiya El Arfaoui (4:05.20) of Eastern Kentucky, Silvia Jelelgo (4:05.68) of Clemson, May (4:06.31), BU's Vera Sjoberg (4:07.39), Allie Zealand (4:09.76) of Liberty, Charlotte Tomkinson (4:10.92) of Georgetown and Brianna Malone (4:11.37) of High Point to a string of eight lifetime bests. Zealand and O'Sullivan have something in common; both are the daughters of previous NCAA champions. Zealand's mother, Heather Sagan, won the indoor mile 20 years ago for Liberty, while O'Sullivan is the daughter of the Villanova legend Sonia O'Sullivan. Steeplechase 3 Angelina Napoleon NC State So 5 Karrie Baloga Northern Arizona So 7 Katelyn Stewart-Barnett Michigan State Sr Lemngole has already finished first or second 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, then won her Regional race by 40 seconds. 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 has lowered her best this spring to 9:27.85 in winning the ACC, while Baloga posted a seasonal-best 9:40.13 at Regionals. The 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. 5,000 3 Florence Caron Penn State Jr 4 Samantha Bush North Carolina St 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, Hartman 6th. Hartman, who ran a 4:46 mile in high school in Oakwood, Ohio, ran a solo 14:58.11 at Duke. Both they, Caron and Scrimgeour are doubling 5 and 10, while Appleton is doubling 15/5. How well will any of them handle this workload? If it is hot, the weather could take its toll. Indoors, Kosgei was 3rd in the 5k but faded to 11th in the 3k. If she's close near the end, Appleton's kick will be a threat. 10,000 4 Florence Caron Penn State Jr 7 Chloe Scrimgeour Georgetown Jr Hartman has been on a roll – 8th in the 10 a year ago, 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, Olemomoi (31:31.89 best), was 3rd in the East Regional behind Hartman and Caron. 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. Scrimgeour won the Big East in 32:13.64 and finished 4th in the East. 100 Hurdles 5 Jaiya Covington Texas A&M Jr 8 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). McCormick (12.74) won the Big Ten, PR'd at Regionals in 12.74. Covington (12.77w) was upset indoor champ. She was 3rd at SEC to Harris and Torian (12.81). Ndjip-Nyemeck (12.82) won Mt. SAC. Sey (12.76w) won the MEAC, Tabugbo (12.87) the Big 12. 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. Hebron (55.47) defeated Wilson (55.63) at the ACC. 4x100 USC South Carolina Florida State Texas UCLA Texas A&M LSU Baylor SC had by far the fastest time in the Regionals, 42.36, equaling its time from Mt SAC, the fastest time of the season for the event. South 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 but then was beaten by A&M at Regional. A&M won Florida Relays and has run 42.94. TCU (42.87) won Texas Relays but failed to break 43 at Regionals. Florida State had a great race at the East Regional, beating LSU with 42.72. Texas ran 42.85 for 2nd behind SC in the West. 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 Arkansas Georgia USC Duke Iowa Texas A&M Tennessee 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 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. High Jump 1 Temitope Adeshina Texas Tech So 5 Kristi Perez-Snyman Missouri Sr 8 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 7 Gennifer Hirata South Dakota Sr The Moll twins have been unstoppable. Each one has already won an NCAA championship – Amanda this winter indoors, Hana last year indoors. 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. With the departure of four of the West's top vaulters – Olivia Lueking of Oklahoma, Mason Meinershagen of Kansas, Tori Thomas of Illinois and Marleen Mulla of South Dakota – the event has opened up considerably. Timberg, the reigning outdoor champion, had an excellent 15-5 ¾ clearance in January but has struggled since, finishing 10th at Nationals. At the West Regional, three West Coast athletes cleared 14-6 for the first time to qualify – Fitzsimmons of the hometown Ducks and two UCLA Bruins, Ka'Leila Abrille and Katerina Adamiec. Long Jump 2 Tacoria Humphrey Illinois Sr 7 Prestina Ochonogor Tarleton State Fr 8 Synclair Savage Louisville Sr 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. Savage was beaten at ACC but had the longest jump (21-9 ½) at the East Regional. Ochonogor went 21-10 ¼ in the West. Triple Jump 4 Victoria Gorlova Texas Tech Sr 6 Tamiah Washington Texas Tech So 7 Simone Johnson San Jose State Sr 8 Emilia Sjostrand San Jose State 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. She won the West Regional with Dwol 4th, a foot back. Foreman, 5th indoors, jumped a PR 45-11 ¾ to win the East. The newcomer Gorlova, a Russian citizen, went 45-10 ¾ for 2nd in the West; she jumped 46-0 this winter in Moscow. She won the Big 12 over Washington (44-8 ¾), who was 2nd indoors. Sjostrand has the best PR in the field (46-2 3/4) but was only 9th indoors after finishing 3rd outdoors in 2024. Shot Put 1 Mya Lesner Colorado State 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. Lesnar won the West Regional and is the list leader (64-3 ¾) for the season. She won the West at 60-8 ½. 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 done 61-2 ¾, won the ACC. Houston's KeAyla Dove (63-10 ¼) was a surprise withdrawal. Meyer had a nice PR (58-11 ¼) for 2nd in the West, while in the East, on her final attempt, the Florida soph Leiseth went from 12th to 1st to secure a spot in Eugene with her first-ever 60-footer, 60-1. Discus 3 Cierra Jackson Fresno State Sr 5 Amanda Ngandu-Ntumba Cincinnati Sr 8 Jade Whitfield Louisville 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). Ulrich won the East Regional (212-7) by 17 feet. 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 3 Gudrun Hallgrimsdottir VCU Sr 5 Emma Robbins Oklahoma State 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 a very tightly contested event. 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, men or women. 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. The Cal Bears qualified three out of the West, led by Savva's 222-3. Javelin 2 McKyla Van Der Westhuizen Rice Jr 7 Kelsi Oldroyd Utah Valley Sr 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. 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. At East Regional, however, Davidson threw a modest 175-1 for 5th. Jepkemboi (191-6 best) won the Big 12 at 188-11 and finished 1st in the West. Oldroyd threw 189-4 at the West Regional, Bliss 187-2 in the East, just ahead of Shea Greene (186-8) of Princeton. A total of 10 women threw more than 180 between the two Regional meets. 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), a Canadian, was 6th indoors.
