COMING UP: Season Complete
 
NATIONALS RECAP: Tech closed out a successful 2025 track season at the NAIA Outdoor National Championships in Marion, Ind., as three student-athletes represented the Owls. Eli Stevens competed in two events – the decathlon and the pole vault – placing 15th overall in the multi-event (despite battling injury), setting a personal-best mark in the javelin (45.01 meters) and narrowly missed PR's in the shot put and discus. Stevens failed to clear the initial height in the vault. Tyas Selby competed in the pole vault, placing 11th overall – clearing 4.60 meters, but narrowly missing the second height at 4.75 meters. Aurora Parsons competed in the javelin, taking 22nd overall, with a top mark of 36.24 meters. In the team race, conference rival, British Columbia, claimed both the men's and women's title.
 
WOMEN'S SEASON REVIEW: It was a breakout season for the Lady Owls, as OIT recorded their best final at the Cascade Conference Championships in nearly a decade, taking fourth. Junior Aurora Parsons led the way, becoming Tech's first-ever discus champ (school record 42.42 meters), while also earning All-CCC honors in both the javelin and shot put – and set an indoor school record in the shot put (12.37 meters). Freshman Sophia Small earned All-CCC honors took second in the triple jump, with junior Lily Everson placing fourth in the 400-meter hurdles and both the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays placing in the Top-5. McKenna Donovan had a banner freshman, scoring in both sprints and the long jump at the CCC meet, while setting new indoor school records in the 60-meters (7.95 seconds), 200-meters (26.38 seconds) and the long jump (5.28 meters). The youthful team will return 67 of their 71 points scored at the CCC meet in 2026.
 
MEN'S SEASON REVIEW: The Hustlin' Owls had some outstanding performances during the year – with the team finishing seventh at the CCC meet. Eli Stevens ranked No. 3 in the decathlon throughout the first half of the season – posting a career-best score of 6,668 points at the Pacific Multi – but an injury at the CCC Multi-Meet forced him to miss the CCC Championships. Freshman Tyas Selby made an impact, tying the OIT pole vault record with a clearance of 4.95 meters – placing second at the CCC Championships. Sophomore Tate Wyman made huge strides in 2025 – earning All-CCC honors in the long jump, while placing fourth in the 110-meter hurdles and helping Tech's 4x100-meter relay team place fifth overall. Transfer Ryan Doherty had an outstanding season, competing in both the 400-meters and 400-meter hurdles – earning All-CCC honors with a third-place effort in the hurdles.
