ABOUT 2025

NEW CONFERENCE, NEW OPPORTUNITIES
The Sooners enter their first season in the SEC, a league known for track & field dominance. At the SEC Indoor Championships Feb. 27 – March 1, the women's team finished second with 62 points and the men tied for third with 56.5 points. Pippi Lotta Enok (pentathlon), Kyren Washington (high jump), Jasmine Akins (long jump) and Olivia Lueking (pole vault) earned Oklahoma's first SEC titles in program history.

WORLDWIDE PHENOM
Pippi Lotta Enok's title-winning performance in the pentathlon at the SEC Indoor Championships on Feb. 27 goes beyond the scope of the conference, with her career-best 4,593 points shattering Estonia's, her native country, national record and moving her to No. 5 all-time in NCAA history.

Enok carried her success to the outdoor stage, collecting a school record in the heptathlon (6,258 points) at Mt. SAC Relays April 17 for the best finish by a collegian. Her score ranks fourth in the world and second in the NCAA this season, and also ranks 11th all-time in NCAA collegiate history.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS
Junior Agur Dwol was crowned national champion in the triple jump on March 15 at the NCAA Indoor Championships, becoming Oklahoma's first TJ title winner in program history. She joins an elite group of six Oklahoma women to win a championship on the NCAA indoor stage.

Dwol kicked off her outdoor season with an impressive 14.01m (45'11.75") mark to win the triple jump at Texas Relays March 26. Her leap leads the nation and ranks 17th in the world in 2025.

PRIMED IN PARIS
Ralford Mullings suites up for Oklahoma after competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics where he placed ninth in the discus throw. The Kingston, Jamaica, native has already made a global impact this outdoor season as a Sooner.

At Texas Relays on March 29, Mullings tossed the No. 12 mark in the world and the No. 2 measure in the NCAA at 69.13m (226'10.00") to win the event. He shattered the Oklahoma program record, Texas Relays record and Mike A. Myers Stadium record. With this throw, Mullings is the No. 2-ranked performer in NCAA history and his toss is the seventh-best ever recorded in NCAA collegiate history.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
At the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships March 14-15, the Oklahoma women earned their best finish (4th) at the national meet in program history and the men their best (12th) since 2005. Both teams secured the highest point count in school history and posted a combined program-record nine First Team All-America finishes.

SETTLED IN
Head Coach James Thomas enters his second season at the helm of Oklahoma Track & Field. Under his guidance, the Sooners just wrapped up a historic indoor season. Between the men's and women's team, OU collected one national title, 11 All-America awards, four conference champions, six conference medalists, 12 school records and 62 top-10 performances in OU history. Thomas was named USTFCCCA Midwest Region Women's Coach of the Year for his leadership during the indoor season.
