MEET PREVIEW: Oregon Team Invitational
Apr 16, 2025 | Track and Field
EUGENE – The Texas A&M track & field team heads on the road to compete at the Oregon Team Invitational held at Hayward Field with the meet running from April 18-19.
After a successful weekend at the 44 Farms Team Invitational, the Aggies will compete against seven teams in Oregon in their fifth week of outdoor action. The meet features a non-scored opening day, where 26 athletes will compete across 12 disciplines. The second day involves a scored team invitational, where athletes will receive points dependent on their finish in their respective events and ultimately crown a team champion on both the men's and women's side. A&M will field around 40 athletes on the final day, as they compete in 10 events on both sides.
In the most recent U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's rankings list, the Aggies lead the country on both the men's and women's sides. This is the first time in 2025 both programs have been ranked No. 1 at the same time, with the last occurrence coming April ninth of 2024.
Last Time Out
A&M put on an impressive two-day showing in their home opener, as they broke an NCAA freshman record, won eight events and added five new marks to the all-time performers list.
Sofia Yakushina set the standard early, as she broke the NCAA freshman record in the women's heptathlon after accumulating 6,260 points off the back of four personal-best performances across the seven disciplines. Elise Smoot added a victory for the team in the 1,500m, running a personal-best time of 4:22.37 to rank sixth in A&M's record books. The remaining wins for the women included the 4x100m relay (43.04), Jaiya Covington in the 110m hurdles (12.77), Winny Bii in the triple jump (13.74m/45-1) and finally Penelope Gracey in the 5,000m (16:57.46).
On the men's side, Auhmad Robinson won the 200m with an all-conditions best time of 20.21 to rank third in the NCAA this year. The senior was also a part of the Maroon & White's 4x400m relay team that won their second-straight title, crossing the line in 3:02.26.
The Field
A&M is joined at the meet by another six men's teams and four women's programs. Oregon, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Wichita State are bringing both teams, while Oregon State and Utah are solely competing on the women's side.
Top-Ranked Aggies
The Aggie men hold eight top-five marks in the country with a trio of No. 1 performers, including Ja'Qualon Scott in the 400m hurdles (49.37), Robinson in the 400m (44.61) and the 4x400m relay team (3:02.15). Robinson also holds third in the 200m (20.21), while Cutler Zamzow is fourth in the 400m (45.30), Kimar Farquharson (1:45.99) and Sam Whitmarsh (1:46.76) are third and fifth in the 800m, respectively, and rounding out the men's ranks is another 4x400m quartet holding second nationally (3:02.26).
On the women's side, they also hold eight top-five marks led by Yakushina at the No. 1 spot in the heptathlon with 6,260 points. She's joined by Camryn Dickson who holds fourth 100m (11.06) and third 200m (22.48), Jasmine Montgomery ranks fourth in the 200m (22.59), a pair of 4x100m relays which sit in third (42.94) and fourth (43.04), respectively, Bii lands third in the triple jump (13.74m/45-1) and Covington wraps up the group with fourth in the 100m hurdles (12.77).
