The 2025 U.S. Track and Field Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, concluded with standout performances from several athletes securing their spots for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Melissa Jefferson-Wooden achieved the sprint double with personal-best times in the 100m and 200m, while Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone dominated the 400m with a near-American record time. Nikki Hiltz won her sixth consecutive 1500m title, demonstrating tactical prowess and consistency, and Jonah Koech emerged as a surprise winner in the men's 1500m with a personal best. Arkansas athletes earned six medals, including Nikki Hiltz’s gold and Sandi Morris’s pole vault victory, while Hunter Woodhall took two golds in the Para National Championships. Former Missouri athletes also competed, with Euphenie Andre and Arianna Fisher placing third and fourth in the women's triple jump, though they did not qualify for the world championships. These results highlight the depth and talent of the current U.S. track and field contingent as they prepare for the global stage in Tokyo.
