Oregon women’s track and field won the 2025 NCAA Indoor National Championship on Saturday. The Ducks claimed points in six events, including an event win for Wilma Nielsen in the mile, and claimed its first national title (indoor or outdoor) since 2017. 

In Virginia Beach this weekend, Oregon’s 55 points at time of winning (the Ducks clinched with two events to run) came from across the board. 

Sprinter Jaydn Mays finished second in the 60 meter dash, where she ran 7.12, while Aaliyah McCormick took the same place and ran 7.91 in the 60 meter hurdles. Mays doubled up, finishing second overall in the 200 meter dash with a 22.45 second sprint to eventually seal the title for Oregon. 

The Ducks dominated in distance. Nielsen won the mile running 4:32.40, where NCAA Indoor mile record holder Silan Ayyildiz finished fourth. The two athletes were then joined by Ella Clayton and Ella Nelson for the distance medley relay, where Oregon ran 10:45.99 and finished second overall. Ayyildiz was scheduled to run the 3000 meter as well, but scratched after Oregon’s win was confirmed. 

One of Oregon’s Paris Olympians, thrower Jaida Ross, finished second in the shot put, throwing 18.98m in what was her final meet as a Duck, according to her Instagram story. 

Oregon now turns its attention to the outdoor season. The Ducks will host several meets at Hayward Field during the regular and postseason this spring and summer, including both the Big Ten and NCAA outdoor championships in May and June.

The Ducks will host the Oregon Preview, scheduled for March 21 and 22, at Hayward Field.
