COLLEGE STATION, Texas (5/29/25) – Arkansas State track and field’s Carly Pujol shattered her own program record in the women’s pole vault on Thursday at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds and punched her ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Pujol cleared a career-best 4.42m (14-6) on her third attempt to earn her spot in Eugene, tying for ninth in the event and becoming the first A-State women’s pole vaulter since 2013 to advance to the NCAA Championships. Her mark also puts her second in Sun Belt outdoor history in the event.
Michelle Ogbemudia finished just outside the top 12 in the women’s shot put, placing 13th with a top throw of 16.23m (53-3) to cap her senior season.
Friday will see Colby Eddowes compete in the 110-meter hurdles quarterfinals (6:15 p.m.), as well as Jacob Pyeatt in the semifinals of the 5000 meters (8:10 p.m.). Both races can be seen live on ESPN+.
