May 27, 2025 | Track and Field
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M track & field team continues its postseason campaign as it hosts the NCAA West First Round at E.B Cushing Stadium May 28-31.
The Aggies are set to battle for spots in the NCAA Outdoor Championships, as those who finish in the top-12 of their respective events will lead the way to Eugene, Oregon, for the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. A&M sits in elite standard nationally, as the women sit in second and the men fourth in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's rankings.
Looking back to last year's regional, the Maroon & White booked 26 tickets to the outdoor championships, with 15 coming on the women's side and 11 on the men's.
Last Time Out
A&M put on a dominant showing at the SEC Championships as the women finished second and the men fourth. The Aggies brought home 15 medals over the three-day meet including three gold, five silver and seven bronze.
Highlighting the SEC champions was Sofia Yakushina in the women's heptathlon, finishing top five in all seven events accumulating 6,075 points. The freshman wasn't done there as she also claimed bronze in the individual long jump (6.18m/20-3.5) making her the only women's field athlete to receive two medals at the meet. Aleksandr Solovev continued the momentum in the men's pole vault claiming the SEC title along with a school record of 5.72m/18-9.25. Sam Whitmarsh capped off the golds in the men's 800m, crossing the line in 1:45.35 to defend his title.
