Bianco and Mathison Set to Compete at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
June 10, 2025 | Track and Field
EUGENE, Ore. — The University of Colorado track and field program will be represented by two athletes at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, set for June 11–14 at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
Nick Bianco will be the first to compete, opening the decathlon with the 100-meter dash at noon PT on Wednesday, June 11, followed by the long jump, shot put, and high jump, and will wrap up day one with the 400-meter dash. Day two begins at 9:45 a.m. PT on Thursday, June 12, with the 110-meter hurdles, followed by the discus, pole vault, and javelin, and concludes with the 1,500-meter run.
Bianco qualified for the championships by breaking the CU decathlon school record, scoring 7,655 points at the Bryan Clay Invitational on April 10–11. He recorded personal bests in the 100 meters, long jump, shot put, discus, and 1,500 meters during that competition. Bianco remained among the nation's top 10 for most of the season, finishing the regular season ranked No. 22.
Kole Mathison will compete in the semifinal of the 3,000-meter steeplechase, scheduled for 4:38 p.m. PT on Wednesday, June 11. The top 12 finishers (the top five in each heat, plus the following two overall best times) will advance to the final on Friday, June 13.
Mathison secured his spot in Eugene with a personal-best time of 8:32.74 at the NCAA West Preliminary Round, earning an at-large qualifying bid. Earlier in the season, he ran a then personal best of 8:37.68 to place third at the Raleigh Relays a time that held up and qualified for regional.
