COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Mountain West student-athletes turned in one of the best national meet performances in Conference history last week at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The league captured five individual National titles, three National runners-up and amassed a combined 29 First and Second Team All-America honors to go along with another 10 Honorable Mention awards.
The five first-place finishes tied the Conference record set in 2005 for most in a single season, while the combined eight first-and-second-place finishes are the most in Mountain West history. The 29 All-American nods were also the most since 2019 and tied for the second-most all-time.
Four of the national championships came on the women’s side, setting a Conference record. New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei led the way, sweeping the 5,000-meter (15:33.96) and 10,000-meter races, setting a NCAA Meet record in the latter with a time of 31:17.82 and earning a pair of first team honors. Colorado State senior Mya Lesnar capped a stellar Ram career with a first-place finish in the shot put, winning with an opening throw of 19.01 meters for a first-team nod. Wrapping up the women’s title winners was Fresno State senior Cierra Jackson, who won the discus with an NCAA meet record throw of 65.82 meters, which also came on her first attempt. Jackson added an eighth-place finish in the shot put (17.70m) to garner two first team All-America awards.
New Mexico freshman Ishmael Kipkurui took home gold in the 10,000-meter race with a time of 29:07.7 and added a second first-team nod with a seventh-place finish in the 5,000 meter (13:25.18).
The Conference saw three silver medal performances with Lobo sophomore Habtom Samuel taking home two in the 5,000-meter (13:20.89) and 10,000-meter (29:08.73) races, while San José State senior Emilia Sjostrand earned her highest NCAA finish of her decorated career with a second-place finish in the triple jump (13.88 meters).
Overall, New Mexico had a league-high 12 first and second team All-America honors, including a 16th-place finish by its women’s 4×400 relay team (Rebecca Grieve, Lou-Anne Pouzancre Hoyer, Hanna Kiess and Sofie Pineda) for second team status. In addition to Pamela Kosgei, Ishmael Kipkurui and Habtom Samuel, Lobos Marion Jepngetich (5,000-meter; 4th; 15:35.14) and Matthew Kosgei (3,000-meter Steeplechase; 9th; 8:31.14) picked up first and second team accolades, respectively.
