Bulldogs Set For Outdoor SEC Championships
May 14, 2025 | Track & Field
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Mississippi State track and field is set to begin the outdoor postseason campaign at the SEC Outdoor Championships, hosted by Kentucky.
The multis will kick off competition for the Bulldogs on Thursday, with Kennedy Jackson competing in the heptathlon and Lewis Barber in the decathlon.
Jackson, who is 19th in the NCAA and has scored in the multis in the past three conference championships, looks to continue her streak at the outdoor championships. Barber will be the only Bulldog in the decathlon, attempting to improve on his seventh-place finish at the 2024 outdoor championships.
The throws are set to compete first for the field events, with the day beginning in the women's hammer, followed by the men's. Marie Rougetet is making her outdoor conference debut, entering the field seeded second overall.
The day will continue in the javelin, with both Rémi Rougetet and Tuomäs Närhi entering the field seeded in the top ten.
The first individual track event to be contested is the 800m prelims. The squad is led by Abdullahi Hassan, the runner-up in the event at the indoor championships earlier this year.
The 400m hurdles will close the first day of competition, with Jessicka Woods and Alfonso Hale Jr. entering the field as the top-seeded Bulldogs.
The meet will be available to stream on the SEC Network+.
