EUGENE, Ore. — Junior Logan Hammer earned second-team All-American Honors in the pole vault at the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on Wednesday.
“He’s been fantastic and even though the result today isn’t necessarily what he hoped for, I think it’s safe to say that he’s been the most consistent vaulter in the NCAA this outdoor season,” said Artie Gulden, USU’s director of track & field and cross country. “Unfortunately, that didn’t continue today, but his season has been super special, both indoor and outdoor.”
Hammer claimed his third career All-American honors with his clearance of 5.33 meters (17-5.75), finishing tied for 13th in the field. After passing on the opening bar of 5.18 meters (17-0), he successfully cleared his first jump of the competition. The Nampa, Idaho, product became the first Aggie to claim three or more All-American honors since Dillon Maggard (9) and Clay Lambourne (5) each accomplished the feat in 2018. After his junior season, Hammer ranks as the seventh-most decorated men’s track and field athlete in school history. Texas A&M’s Aleksandr Solovev won the competition with a jump of 5.78 meters (18-11.5).
“I think he’s shown the other guys and ladies in the program that making it to NCAA’s is a possibility, and that’s what we need to be striving for,” said Gulden.
On Thursday, sophomore Shelby Jensen will represent the Aggies in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase semifinals, which will take place at 5:38 p.m. (MT). Broadcast coverage of the championships will be on ESPN2.
