BURSTING ONTO THE SCENE
Freshmen
Ayodele Ojo and
Daniel Chase each put together impressive debut campaigns in 2025. Ojo earned a silver medal in the 100 meters at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships, added top-eight finishes in the indoor 60 meters and outdoor 200 meters at the conference championships, set Utah State all-time top-10 times in the 60 meters, 100 meters and outdoor 200 meters and broke the Nelson Fieldhouse record in the 60 meters. Chase secured a seventh-place finish in the 100 meters at the MW Championships and set school top-10 times in the 60 meters and 100 meters. As part of a 4x100-meter relay team including fellow freshmen
Diego Aguirre-Stewart and
Mathew Hall, Ojo and Chase helped the Aggies set the third-fastest time in school history and place 14th at the NCAA West First Rounds with a time of 39.54, just 0.10 seconds shy of a berth to nationals.
VAULTING ONTO THE PODIUM
At the Mountain West Indoor Championships, freshman
Abbie Scott vaulted 4.11 meters (13-5.75) to earn a silver medal. Her mark from the championships also ranks as the second-best vault in school history, behind only All-American Sonia Grabowska's 2011 mark of 4.25 meters (13-11.25). Scott's performance capped off an impressive 2025 indoor campaign in which she cleared at least 3.90 meters (12-9.5) five times in eight meets and earned three MW weekly awards. The Rigby, Idaho, native also posted the fifth-best outdoor vault in school history with her clearance of 3.94 meters (12-11) at the Pacific Coast Invitational.
WEEKLY AGG-OLADES
Five of the athletes competing at the USATF U20 Outdoor Championships earned a total of eight weekly honors from the Mountain West. On September 17, freshman
Luke Stockett was named MW Men's Cross Country Freshman of the Week, becoming the second of a record five straight Aggie freshmen to earn the honors. On January 14, Chase earned MW Men's Track Athlete and Freshman of the Week honors, while Scott was named MW Women's Freshman of the Week. The pair were honored again the following week, with Chase earning MW Men's Freshman of the Week honors and Scott being awarded the MW Women's Field Athlete and Freshman of the Week. On February 11, freshman
