March 15, 2025 | Track and Field

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Oklahoma concluded a successful two days of competition Saturday night at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships inside the Virginia Beach Sports Center. Agur Dwol became OU's first triple jump champion and the women placed fourth as a team, the best finish in program history. BJ Green and Kyren Washington added top-three performances to help the men's team finish 12th.

Dwol's initial mark of 13.72m (45'0.25") tied Tamiah Washington of Texas Tech. After official review, it took Dwol's third-best effort of 13.48m (44'2.75") to separate her from the Raider and she solidified the title with a centimeter difference. She became OU's first national champion in the triple jump and joins an elite group of six Oklahoma women to win a title on the NCAA indoor stage.

Also in the triple jump, Jasmine Akins grabbed seventh place with a 13.43m (44'0.75") leap, adding two points to OU'steam total. The women concluded the weekend with 31 points, the highest count in program history, for fourth place. The Sooners shared the position with Arkansas and Washington.

The men concluded the day with 19 points, their highest score in at least 17 years, to place 12th overall in the field. The last time OU's men's squad finished 12th or higher was before 2005. BJ Green helped the men's side with a bronze medal in the triple jump. The junior leaped 16.50m (54'1.75") on his second attempt for the third first-team All-America honor of his career. Sophomore Kyren Washington followed with a fourth-place finish in the high jump, clearing 2.19m (7'2.25") for his second first-team award.

Also in the men's triple jump, Floyd Whitaker made his NCAA Championships debut and earned a second-team All-America award. The senior narrowly missed scoring position by finishing in ninth place with a 15.90m (52'2.00") leap.

Two Sooners competed in the women's and men's shot put. Paige Low finished 15th in the event with a 16.70m (54'9.50") toss and Ralford Mullings posted an 18.16m (59'7") mark for 13th. Both throwers earned second-team All-America accolades.
