May 30, 2025 | Track and Field

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 18 Oklahoma men's track and field team closed out its last day of NCAA West First Rounds Friday night at E.B. Cushing Stadium. BJ Green (triple jump), Ralford Mullings (discus), Kyren Washington (high jump) and Floyd Whitaker (triple jump) advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., June 11-14 with top-12 finishes in their respective events.
 
Ralford Mullings secured Oklahoma's first qualification of the day with second place in the men's discus. The Kingston, Jamaica, native tossed 67.21m (220'6.00") on his third attempt, with both of his two legal marks eclipsing 67 meters.
 
The triple jump wrapped simultaneously, with the Sooners adding two more entries to the final site. BJ Green extended his No. 1-ranking in the nation with a PR of 16.94m (55'7.00") (+1.4) to claim the west regional title. His mark improves his position at No. 2 all-time in OU history and he will make his third appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene. Floyd Whitaker also had a career day, posting a personal-best 16.27m (53'4.50") (+1.0) on his final attempt for fifth place in the field. With this mark, he climbs to No. 5 on OU's all-time performance list.
 
Kyren Washington added the Sooners' final entry to the championships Friday evening. The sophomore tied for first in the high jump with a 2.17m (7'.1.50") clearance, soaring over every bar from 2.04 meters on without a single miss.
 
In the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, Evans Biwott entered the race ranked 47th in the west region. The freshman improved with a 15th-place finish and a career-best 8:42.60 time, jumping to No. 3 all-time in OU's outdoor history books.
 
A select group of women's athletes are set to compete on the final day of events Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m. CT. Live results of the meet can be viewed on Flash Results and a broadcast of the regional will air on ESPN+ at 5 p.m. CT.
