EUGENE, Ore. – For the second year in a row, a Husky miler in their final collegiate race walked off the track at Hayward Field as the National Champion, as Nathan Green reclaimed his 1,500-meters NCAA title in epic fashion. Green sprinted down the homestretch at the head of a charging pack and somersaulted over the finish line to become a two-time national champ, and run Washington's winning streak in the event to four in a row.
Green, the senior from Boise, Idaho, also was the winner at the 2023 Championships in Austin, Texas. He relinquished his title back to then-senior teammate Joe Waskom in 2024, with Waskom having started the streak in 2022. Waskom came from behind to win the 2024 title on this same track a year ago, but this year Green won from the front, holding off a late challenge from North Carolina's Ethan Strand.
Washington's four-year winning streak in the men's 1,500-meters matches the longest in NCAA history. Villanova last won four in a row, from 1968-71, and Oregon won four-straight from 1959-62. Throw in Luke Houser's two NCAA Indoor mile titles from 2023 and 2024, and UW has won six of the past seven NCAA titles in the 1,500-meters and the mile. The only break in the streak was this year's indoor championships, when Green finished barely second behind Abel Teffra of Georgetown. Teffra did not advance out of the 1,500m semifinals on Wednesday.
Catching his breath and fighting the emotions in his on-track interview on ESPN, Green told John Anderson, "To do it again here just shows the growth, it shows that everything that happened was for a reason. I trusted my coaches and my people in my corner, and I came out on top and it means everything.
Describing the key last stretch in the race, Green said, "300 (meters) to go I kind of got pushed up to the front, and I just thought, 'this is it now.' I was coming around the bend as calm as I could and I just thought, 'I'm going to have to dive, because they're coming and nobody wants it more than I do.'"
Green's final time was 3:47.26 as the field had a pedestrian first couple laps before ramping up quickly. He had a final 400-meter split of 51.46 seconds. Green just edged Strand who was second in 3:47.33, and Harvard's Ferenc Kovacs took third in 3:47.42.
Head Coach Andy Powell has now, incredibly, coached eight of the past 15 NCAA Men's Champions at 1,500-meters, four coming in his time at Oregon, and now four in a row at Washington.
The ten points posted by Green today were UW's full tally on the men's side as the men's meet came to a close. Washington finished in a tie for 30th-place overall. The women's team has 16 points heading into Saturday's finale, with five women in finals on the track plus Sofia Cosculluela trying to climb the leaderboard in the heptathlon.
Cosculluela in 15th after day one.
Spanish national champion Sofia Cosculluela kicked off her first NCAA Championship today in the heptathlon. In the opening event, Cosculluela won her heat and placed third overall in the 100m hurdles, clocking a 13.48, just .03 off her season-best.
In the high jump, Cosculluela had a third-attempt clearance of 5-3 to tie for 20th in that event. She had the 10th-best shot put, a season-best of 41-7 3/4 to move up to 12th overall. But in the 200-meters she drew the tough inside lane, and ran 24.83, 17th overall. That put her in 15th to finish the day with 3,398 points.
She'll look to make a run on Saturday starting with the long jump at 3:30 p.m.
