Complete Results
EUGENE, Ore. – Sophie O'Sullivan dominated a deep 1,500-meter field for her first conference title, and Amanda and Hana Moll showed toughness to match their skill in another 1-2 pole vault finish, as the Huskies closed out a thrilling three days at their first Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Both Husky teams earned sixth-place finishes at Oregon's Hayward Field.
Washington left the meet with three titles and five runner-up finishes. Evan Jenkins (men's 10k), O'Sullivan (women's 1,500m), and Amanda Moll (women's pole vault) all struck gold. Nathan Green (men's 1,500m), Amina Maatoug (women's 5,000m), Maggie Liebich (women's steeplechase), Hana Moll (women's pole vault), and Jami Schlueter (men's decathlon) all took home silver.
In addition to her victory today, Amanda Moll broke her NCAA Outdoor Record for the second time, clearing 15-8 1/4. It's her sixth collegiate record of the year, combining indoors and outdoors, and she has the highest vault in the world this year both indoors and out.
Oregon took home the men's team title on home soil, while USC won the women's title. The former Pac-12 squads made up four of the top-six women's teams, and three of the top-six on the men's side. The UW men were just nine points out of second-place.
Distances
O'Sullivan, a senior from Melbourne, Australia but who represents Ireland on the international stage, unleashed a stunning final lap to take her first conference title in the 1,500-meters. A two-time NCAA finalist and a 2024 Olympian, O'Sullivan ranks as one of the fastest collegiates ever at the distance, and today she executed perfectly for the win.
She stayed up front out of trouble during a slow first couple laps, then teammate Amina Maatoug started to push the pace, and O'Sullivan followed suit, dropping the field except for Oregon's Silan Ayyildiz, who is the NCAA mile record-holder. Try as she might, Ayyildiz couldn't keep pace, as O'Sullivan strode away to win by more than ten meters in a time of 4:11.66.
Her final lap was a blistering 58.41. Talking to the Big Ten Network, O'Sullivan said, "They tell me I look like I walk when I'm running, so I tried to look less like walking and more like running."
Maatoug came across in fourth-place in 4:14.93, while Mia Cochran was 10th in 4:17.30 and Julia David-Smith was knocked down mid-race and unfortunately finished last. But David-Smith would get some payback later in the 5k, with Maatoug also doubling back phenomenally well.
In the men's 1,500-meters, Australian Olympian and Wisconsin senior Adam Spencer had just enough space to hold off a hard-charging Nathan Green to win a tactical race in 3:53.18. Green was just a step back in 3:53.25. It was a mad dash as all of the top-six men closed the final 400-meters in under 52 seconds, with Green's 51.23 the fastest in the field.
Rhys Hammond was seventh in 3:54.81 to add two more points for the Dawgs.
In the men's 800-meters final, senior Kyle Reinheimer placed fourth overall in 1:48.51, and freshman Martin Barco took sixth in 1:49.06 to take out eight points from the event.
In the women's 800m, Steph Driscoll stuck herself in the mix early, running second for the first half of the race, then she fought hard to the line to win a tight three-way battle for sixth-place overall in 2:06.56, scoring her first conference points as a Dawg.
The final Dawgs in action for the week battled in the 5,000-meters.
For the men, Leo Daschbach moved up to No. 7 in school history with a time of 13:36.54 which was good for eighth-place today and one team point. Tyrone Gorze ran 13:39.78 for 10th, another PR and now the No. 10 mark in school history. Jamar Distel was one place behind Gorze with a time of 13:43.20.
The women's race was a stunner, as Oregon's Diana Cherotich, who had easily won the 10k two nights ago, opened up a big lead and looked to run away with it, but UW's Maatoug and David-Smith were part of a chase pack that began to reel her back in late. Despite coming off the 1,500-meters earlier in the day, Maatoug, just as she did at NCAA Indoors in her mile/3k double, showed no fatigue and no fear and she threw in a kick to pass Cherotich on the last lap and take the lead.
Maatoug was sprinting around the final 200-meters, with only Oregon's Ayyildiz, the 1,500m runner-up, hanging with her. Ayyildiz was able to squeeze by on the inside down the final stretch and she edged Maatoug, 15:37.11 to 15:37.55, as both women were under the old Meet Record. David-Smith also powered home in a PR of 15:43.30 for fourth-place. Those are the new No. 6 and No. 10 times in school history in the women's 5k.
Jumps/Vault
All eyes were on the Moll twins in the pole vault to see if they could continue their roll through 2025 after going 1-2 at Big Ten Indoors, NCAA Indoors, and going to 1-2 in collegiate history. But again they had to battle a great field including 2024 NCAA Outdoor Champion Chloe Timberg of Rutgers.
Early on, UW got a big boost from junior Avril Wilson, as she cleared a new PR of 13-8 1/2 on her first attempt to get into scoring position. Wilson would wind up seventh overall to score two points.
The Molls came in at 14-feet, and while Hana cleared on her first attempt, Amanda kicked the bar off on her first, then ran through on her second, and suddenly it was do-or-die. Amanda did, staying alive with a third-attempt make.
The two both made 14-4 1/2 on their second tries, and only Timberg stayed with them at that bar. The three continued up to 14-8 1/2, and again it came down to third attempts for both sisters. Amanda came through again, and then Hana responded, with Timberg bowing out to lock up another UW 1-2 finish.
Amanda moved into the lead with a second-attempt clearance at 15-0 1/4, which Hana also made, but on a third try. They both then passed up to 15-8 1/4, one inch higher than Amanda's NCAA outdoor record from two weeks ago in Arizona. For the third time today, Amanda succeeded on a third-attempt. Hana was extremely close, as the bar wobbled on her third attempt and thought about staying up, but it ultimately dropped.
Amanda then took three tries at 16-1 3/4, which would have been another PR, but she did not get that one today.
"I think just making those third attempt clearances count," said Amanda Moll on what went right for her today. "I would have preferred not having to have third attempt clearances, but I did make the most of them."
A big event early in the day for the men was the triple jump, where Trevontay Smith and Tim Luebbert finished fourth and fifth, respectively, to tally nine combined points for the Dawgs. In round two, Luebbert posted a new PR of 50-5 1/2 and moved up to No. 8 in school history with it. Smith got into the final nine jumpers with a round two mark of 50-2 3/4, and then he leaped a season-best of 50-11 in the fifth round.
In the women's triple jump, both Rachel Bir and Ava Washburn had PRs, as three of the four Husky horizontal jumps crew today had personal-bests, and the fourth had a season-best. Bir went 40-4 3/4 and Washburn went 40-3 1/4, both going over 40-feet for the first time in their careers.
Sprints
UW had freshman Bodi Ligons and senior Matthew Wilkinson in the finals of the 400-meter hurdles, continuing their recent run of success in that event. Ligons used an impressive late surge to pick up some places and grab fourth overall in 51.67, and Wilkinson crossed in seventh in 52.15, as UW had seven points from the event.
In the women's 100m hurdles final, Sofia Cosculluela clocked a 13.62 to finish ninth overall.
Throws
Senior Kaia Tupu-South, the school record-holder several times over in the shot put, had only thrown discus so far this outdoor season, but she got back to the shot today and sent out flying out of the first flight to once again break her own school record.
Tupu-South threw 56-10 1/4 in the second round, which was eight inches past her previous outdoor best from 2023. It moves her to 19th in the NCAA this season, and it was good for fifth-place today, with the four women ahead of her all ranked in the top-16 nationally.
First up this morning were Ashley Schroeder and Leonie Troeger in the women's javelin. Both were right near their season's-bests, and both made the nine-woman final to get a full six attempts. Troeger would finish eighth overall for one team point, getting a best of 160-10 on her fourth throw. Schroeder was ninth with a best of 159-8 in round three.
