June 10, 2026 | Track & Field
EUGENE, Ore. – Mississippi State track and field concluded the first day of the NCAA Outdoor Championship, with five Bulldogs earning All-American nods.
Juha Narhi got the day started in the men's hammer throw, earning Second Team All-American honors. His mark of 66.48m tied his program record and personal best, earning him the national distinction with a 14th-place finish. Narhi is the first men's hammer All-American in program history.
The men's 4x100m made program history in the preliminary round, running a program record of 38.73. Their finish earned them the final time qualifying spot for the finals, to be run on Friday. The relay, run by Nicholas Fakorede, Kibren Moore, Gabriel Scott and Sherman Hawkins Jr., is the first short relay to make the NCAA final for MSU since 2009.
The men's 4x400m earned Second Team All-American honors in the 4x400m. The relay, run by Keayari Lee, Malachi Burton, Harry Ross-Hughes and Hawkins Jr., crossed the line in 3:03.40 for a 15th-place finish.
Ross-Hughes Sam Navarro came up short of the 800m final, closing out their seasons at the outdoor championships. Tuomas Narhi and Kaden Cartwright close their NCAA seasons in the javelin, both finishing just shy of the finals in 18th and 19th, respectively.
The women will begin competition tomorrow afternoon, with Marie Rougetet in the hammer and Nelly Jemeli in the 3000m steeplechase.
The meet will be available to stream on ESPN2, with individual field events available on ESPN+.
