EUGENE, Ore. – After seven events over two days under the hot sun at Hayward Field, Husky sophomore Sofia Cosculluela proved herself as the best all-around athlete in the NCAA. Cosculluela, the native of Madrid, Spain, won the first heptathlon national title in Washington history, and helped the Husky women's team secure a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Cosculluela, sixth in this event at nationals last season, came into the second day sitting in fifth, but with two of her strongest events on tap. She capitalized, breaking her own School Record in the long jump to start the day, then following with a very good javelin throw to shoot into the overall lead. Cosculluela then ground out a final 800-meter run to finish with 6,182 points, nearly 100 points ahead of the runner-up.
The only other Husky to win a multi-event NCAA title was Mike Ramos, who captured the decathlon championship at the 1986 NCAA Outdoor meet. Ida Eikeng came very close just three years ago, as she was the heptathlon runner-up at the 2023 Outdoor Championships with 6,114 points, which had remained the School Record until today.
The 10 team points that came with Cosculluela's win were added to the 18 points scored by Amanda and Hana Moll in the pole vault from Thursday, to give the women 28 points total, good for seventh overall. It's the first time in program history that the Huskies have had back-to-back Top-10 finishes, after UW placed fourth in 2025. The fourth- and seventh-place finishes are the two highest in team history. Washington was also eighth in 2012 and 10th in 1988 for its other two Top-10s in history on the women's side.
With Amanda Moll and Cosculluela taking individual titles this year, it also marks back-to-back years with multiple champions for the women. UW had never won multiple titles at one NCAA meet prior to 2025, but has now done it twice in a row. Last season, Hana Moll won the pole vault and Sophie O'Sullivan won the 1,500-meters.
Also of note, UW has now had four different NCAA Outdoor Champions in the past two seasons just on the women's side. Prior to last season, only five women had won an NCAA Outdoor title in program history. The Huskies have nearly doubled that total in just two years.
Cosculluela's Road To Gold
Day two began with the long jump, where Cosculluela turned in a strong round one mark of 20-5 3/4 and only got better from there. In the second round, Cosculluela leaped 20-10 1/2, but she still wasn't satisfied with that. On her final attempt, despite going into a -0.9 headwind, Cosculluela got the best long jump of her career, going 21-4 3/4 and breaking her own School Record. That would win the event and add a big 1,014 points to her total. That jump also would have placed Cosculluela in seventh in the national long jump final on Thursday.
The javelin followed a similar pattern for Cosculluela. She threw 123-1 on her first attempt, then 134-1 on her second attempt, then came through with her best in round three, a season's best throw of 144-7. That was second overall in that event, and put her into first place for the first time all competition with 5,333 points.
Cosculluela's first- and second-place finishes in the fifth and sixth events gave her a solid cushion heading into the final 800-meters. She went in knowing she had to stay within about 10 seconds of her two closest competitors. She was able to easily achieve that – maybe not easily, as an 800-meters in 90-degree heat at the end of seven events is hardly easy – but she finished the run in 2:18.11 and secured the championship by a relatively comfortable 98 points.
Cosculluela shattered her own personal-best, and broke the UW School Record, with her final tally of 6,182 points. Her previous PR was set this season at the Mt. SAC Relays when she scored 6,093. Cincinnati's Juliette Laracuente-Huebner was second with 6,084 points, and JaiCieonna Gero-Holt of Illinois was third with 6,010.
Thomas, David-Smith Wrap Things Up In 5k
Two Huskies wrapped up their seasons and tremendous collegiate careers in the 5,000-meters final tonight.
Julia David-Smith, making her second-straight NCAA 5k finals appearance, capped her stellar purple and gold career with a 19th-place finish in 15:58.27 to earn All-America honorable mention. A two-time All-American on the DMR and the Big Ten runner-up in the 5k this season, David-Smith also was an All-Big Ten and All-Pac-12 Team runner in cross country and ranks in the top-10 in the 1,500m and the 3,000m and 5,000m both indoors and outdoors.
Chloe Thomas, doubling back from Thursday's 10k where she was 20th, fought her way to an impressive 13th-place finish to earn Second Team All-America. Thomas ran close to a season-best despite the humid night, going 15:35.65. It's the highest finish for a Husky in the 5k since 2021. Thomas earned three All-America honors in her season as a Dawg, and set the indoor 5k and outdoor 10k School Records. She also won the Big Ten 10k title last month.
