INDIANAPOLIS – Amanda and Hana Moll led the way into the Big Ten era for the Husky track & field teams, with the new No. 1 and No. 2 marks in NCAA history in the pole vault. On day one of the Big Ten Indoor Championships at the Fall Creek Pavilion in Indianapolis, Amanda Moll broke her own two-week-old NCAA Record to win, and Hana took second with a huge personal-best that shot her up higher than any collegiate vaulter save for her sister.
Amanda and Hana's 1-2 finish was joined by a men's pole vault gold for Scott Toney, and a wire-to-wire Meet Record victory for the men's distance medley relay (comprised of Leo Daschbach, Bodi Ligons, Cole Lindhorst, and Nathan Green) as UW collected its first three Big Ten Championships. The Huskies sit third in the men's standings with 26 points and third in the women's standings with 22 points going into the final day of action on Saturday.
Moll Twins Make More History
The women's pole vault was one of the big events to watch coming in, as the past two NCAA Champions (Hana Moll and Rutgers' Chloe Timberg) matched up with Amanda Moll and another 15-foot vaulter in Tori Thomas of Illinois. But the twin Huskies were unstoppable today.
Hana led for most of the way after entering with a first-attempt make at 14-3 1/2. She continued to fly over 14-7 1/2, then 14-11 1/2, and she tied her PR at 15-3 1/2, all on first attempts. Amanda needed a second attempt at 14-11 1/2 but by that point it was just the twins that were left jumping, as they had clinched the gold and silver medals.
Hana then cleared a new PR of 15-7 1/4 on her first attempt to stay in the lead. That officially made her No. 2 in NCAA history behind the 16-0 that Amanda made two weeks ago in New Mexico. Amanda also cleared that on a first attempt, and then both made 15-9 1/4 on first tries. That was a second-straight PR for Hana, closing the gap on Amanda's new PR.
The bar then went to 16-1 1/4, and Amanda went into the lead for the first time with a first-attempt clearance, brushing the bar lightly but leaving it standing. That was a new world-leading mark in 2025 and puts her up to No. 6 in world indoor history. Hana went out at that bar tonight, but still raised her PR nearly a full six inches today, and also achieved the World Championships standard.
Amanda then took the bar to an even 5-meters, or 16-4 3/4, which would have made her just the fifth woman in history to make that bar. She didn't get there tonight, but she is now in the top-10 in world history, indoors or out.
DMR Dominates
The first Big Ten title on the track came from the World Record-setting men's distance medley relay. The Dawgs weren't chasing records tonight, just trying to take the win, and they made it look easy.
Daschbach led things off for the first 1,200-meters and he got the Dawgs into the lead for the 400-meter leg of Ligons, the freshman sprinter. He split a strong 46.06 and then Cole Lindhorst took the stick for 800-meters and handed off to Nathan Green, who had nearly a two second lead on the field going into his 1,600m carry. Green still went out and split the fastest time of all the anchors, going 3:59.78 essentially solo, to pull away even farther from the field.
Green essentially had a victory lap before the victory was decided, and he cruised through the line to give the Huskies the win and a Meet Record of 9:31.75.
Toney Sets The Tone
Toney, the Penn transfer in his first season at Washington, did not have a clean and simple series on his way to the title, but he battled and stayed alive until eventually he stood alone. He becomes the first Husky to win a Big Ten Championship, individually or in a team sport.
Toney opened with a miss at 16-10 3/4 but then cleared it on two, and had a first-attempt make at 17-2 3/4. But he needed a final attempt make at 17-6 1/2 to keep things going. Once he made that bar that released a little pressure, and he made 17-10 1/2 on a first attempt. He was in third-place at that point based on earlier misses, but then he took the lead for the first time with a first-attempt clearance at 18-2 1/2. He then waited as the four remaining competitors all dropped out at that bar.
With the title secured, Toney moved up to a potential meet record of 18-6 3/4, but he was unable to get that clearance today. Still, he becomes the first men's pole vault conference champion for the Dawgs since Chase Smith won the 2021 Pac-12 title outdoors.
Distances
The first race on the track apart from the multis was the men's mile prelims, and the first race was won by a Dawg. Leo Daschbach won a tactical heat one in 4:10.69 to set the tone for the Husky milers.
Heat two featured three Dawgs, and this time the race plan was much different, as Ronan McMahon-Staggs, Rhys Hammond, and Martin Barco worked together to push the pace up front to maximize their chances of getting time qualifiers, as only the top two in each heat automatically advanced. The race plan worked, as all three went sub-four and they finished 1-2-3. McMahon-Staggs ran 3:59.65, Hammond went 3:59.82, and Barco clocked 3:59.91.
Finally, in heat three, Cole Lindhorst made it five-for-five on men's mile qualifiers, as he took third in his heat in 4:00.45 to get a time qualifier. Washington will have half of the 10-man finals field on Saturday.
In the women's mile prelims, Maggie Liebich and Claire Yerby were both running together in heat one. It was a slow start before picking up late and Liebich came through in fourth-place in 4:45.17, while Yerby was behind her in fifth in 4:45.99. After the second heat ran, Liebich's time was enough to advance to the final, but Yerby was the first one out in 11th overall.
Next up came the 800-meter prelims. On the men's side, Kyle Reinheimer and Justin O'Toole were the two Dawgs in the mix, and both navigated their way into Saturday's final. Reinheimer took third in his heat in 1:47.03 to get the top time qualifier, and O'Toole took second for an auto-qualifying spot in 1:48.44.
In the women's 800-meters, Chloe Foerster and Amina Maatoug rolled to the No. 1 and No. 3 times of the day to advance to the final. Foerster dominated her heat in 2:03.71 to win, more than a second faster than the next bet time. Maatoug, running her first 800-meters as a Dawg, went 2:05.22 to auto-advance out of heat one in second-place. Maatoug's time makes her a new addition to the 800m top-10 list, at No. 8.
Washington added six points to its total from the 5,000-meters, as Acer Iverson and Jamar Distel had podium finishes. Iverson was fourth overall in 13:48.09, and Jamar Distel added a point in eighth in 13:52.10. Tyrone Gorze was 11th in 13:58.34 and Evan Jenkins was 14th in 14:05.30.
Wrapping things up on the track was the women's DMR, which used a squad of Mia Cochran, Mikayla Gardley, Claire Yerby, and Julia David-Smith to take fifth overall in 11:10.09 to earn four team points.
Sprints
The one unusual event that's part of the Big Ten Championships but not held at NCAAs is the 600-meters. A trio of Husky sprinters moved up in distance to tackle it today.
For the men, Bodi Ligons won his heat in 1:17.90, but it was all a time-based final and that time was 11th overall so the freshman would not move on. Jonathan Frazier was 16th overall in 1:19.16.
In the women's 600m, Anna Terrell took second in her heat in a time of 1:32.03 which wound up good for 11th overall. Kapiolani Coleman ran a PR of 1:34.02 to finish 22nd overall and go to No. 9 in school history.
Danielle Hunter raced the 200-meters this afternoon, placing 21st overall with a time of 24.20.
Jumps
In the men's long jump, Pac-12 champ Prestin Artis had a tough day, starting with a couple fouls and then going 23-10 3/4 on his third attempt. That wouldn't be enough to get him into the final and earn three more attempts, as he finished 11th overall. Time Luebbert was 14th overall at 23-1 3/4.
Multis
Jami Schlueter worked his way through the first four events of the two-day heptathlon. He opened up with a 7.01 time in the 60-meter dash then went 23-2 3/4 in the long jump. He was third in the shot put at 43-3 3/4, and then he tied his PR in the high jump with a make of 6-4 1/4. That has Schlueter sitting in third-place overall through day one with 3,140 points.
Ava Washburn started the pentathlon today with a time of 9.18 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, but she no-heighted in the high jump and did not get a fair mark in the shot put. She bounced back with a 17-9 1/2 mark in the long jump.
