Missouri track and field competed in the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Thursday in Eugene, Ore.

Just two Tigers participated that day, with junior Valentina Barrios in the women’s javelin final and senior Alicia Burnett in the women’s 100-meter dash semifinals.

Barrios won the javelin with a throw of 203 feet, 5 inches, earning the title of National Champion. The distance marks a program record, and her win marks the Tigers' first-ever championship title in the event.

  • Missouri softball infielders Abbie Wilhelm and Kadence Shepard entered the transfer portal. They have three years of eligibility remaining.
  • The opponents and game dates were revealed for the men's & women's basketball 2025 ACC-SEC Challenge. The men will take on Notre Dame on Dec. 2 in South Bend, Indiana, and the women will face Cal on Dec. 4 in Columbia.
