Gopher Men Finish Seventh at 2025 NCAA Championships
6/13/2025 8:09:00 PM | Men's Track & Field, Women's Track & Field
The team finish is the best for Minnesota since 1948.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota concluded its 2025 campaign in Eugene, Ore., at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field on Friday night. The men's team finished seventh overall, its highest finish since 1948 while the women's team gathered two All-America finishes.
Prior to Minnesota's seventh-place team finish in 2025 the best men's program finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships since 1948 was eighth place back in 1971. Minnesota opened the meet with an NCAA title in the men's hammer throw. For a recap of Wednesday's hammer throw title from Kostas Zaltos, click here.
Minnesota's men earned two final team points in the men's 4x100m relay final on Friday. The Maroon and Gold had its quartet of Zion Campbell, Kion Benjamin, Aaron Charles and Devin Augustine finish seventh overall in a time of 38.88 to help the Gophers score two of its final 25 team points in Eugene. Despite an anchor-leg injury forcing Minnesota to pull up with about 20 meters to go the Gophers put forth its best finish in the event in program history, besting its previous best finish in 2023 of 10th overall.
Minnesota's best finish on the women's side at Hayward Field was Ali Weimer in the 10,000m on Thursday night. The junior posted her second 10,000m school record of the season with a 32:42.31, becoming the first Gopher to break the 33-minute barrier in history. Weimer's 15th-place NCAA finish in the 10,000m is the second-highest in program history, and the best since 2009 (Amy Laskowske).
Dyandra Gray ended her Minnesota career with her first All-America finish at 22nd overall on Thursday. With her performance at Hayward Field Gray is just the third Gopher woman to earn All-America honors in the 400m hurdles, joining Emma Spagnola (2018) and Abigail Schaaffe (2022).
