EUGENE, Ore. – Mississippi State track and field will conclude the 2026 season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, hosted by Oregon, beginning on Wednesday.

There will be 13 men and three women donning maroon and white in TrackTown USA later this week. Competition will begin for the men on Wednesday, with finalists advancing to Friday. The women will compete on alternating days, Thursday and Saturday.

Four Bulldogs are making their second consecutive trip to the show in Sam Navarro, Tuomas Narhi, Nelly Jemeli and Marie Rougetet. Navarro earned First Team All-American honors in the 800m last year, with the latter three earning an honorable mention.

Representing the women's team, Manie Mevo, alongside Jemeli and Rougetet, is competing. Mevo will make her NCAA Championships debut in the triple jump, with Jemeli and Rougetet competing in the 3000m steeplechase and hammer throw, respectively.

The men will have two athletes in the 800m, five throwers, one athlete in two jumping events and two relays competing in Eugene.

Of those competing, ten will compete in their first outdoor championship meet. Harry Ross-Hughes will make his NCAA Outdoor debut alongside Navarro in the 800m. Khalil Antoine will compete in the triple and high jump events. Ring throwers Keving

Grubbs and Juha Narhi, and javelin thrower Kaden Cartwright, round out the individual competitors for State.

The men's 4x100m, consisting of Nicholas Fakorede, Kibren Moore, Gabriel Scott and Sherman Hawkins Jr., will make the trip back to Eugene after missing the championship meet in 2025. The 4x400m relay will also compete for the first time since 2024, with Keayari Lee, Malachi Burton, Ross-Hughes and Hawkins making up the legs.

The meet will be available to stream on ESPN2, with individual field events available on ESPN+.
