OREM, Utah — Utah Valley University will send five student-athletes to the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships this week at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. The Wolverine men qualified for the 4x100 relay, while
Kelsi Oldroyd will throw in the javelin finals.
The men's relay squad of
Gavin Stafford,
Cameron Franklin,
Kade Thompson, and
Gabe Remy won their second straight WAC title and made their second straight NCAA Regionals appearance. The quartet recorded the eighth-fastest time at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds in College Station, Texas, breaking a school record and finishing in 39.13 seconds.
The group is slated to run in the national semifinal, which opens the action on the track on Wednesday at 4:05 p.m. PT. They'll run in lane eight in the third of three heats and will need to finish in the top two in the heat or have one of the next three best times to advance to Friday's final. The race will air live on ESPN and ESPN+.
Oldroyd's appearance in the javelin finals comes after she earned her third straight WAC title and NCAA Regional appearance. Oldroyd, who competed last summer at Hayward Field in the U.S. Olympic Trials, will throw on Thursday in the second of two 12-person flights in the third spot. The first flight is scheduled to begin at 5:15 p.m. PT and will live air on ESPN+.
Oldroyd was second at the NCAA West national semifinal in the javelin, and her school-record mark of 57.72 meters also ranks eighth in the country this season.
The five will each earn All-America status, with their placement dependent on their final results at the championships. Athletes who finish in the top eight of their events — including as a member of a relay — will earn First-Team All-America honors, while places nine through 16 will be second team, and spots 17 through 24 will receive honorable mention.
