Pokes Travel to Mountain West Outdoor Championships in Clovis

CLOVIS, Calif. (May 14, 2025) – The University of Wyoming track and field program heads west for the Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Veterans Memorial Stadium from Thursday to Saturday.

Competition on all three days of the championship will be streamed on the Mountain West Network.

This weekend’s championship meet will be Wyoming’s last chance to qualify student-athletes for the NCAA West First Round in College Station, Texas, the first stop on the way to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The top 48 declared student-athletes are accepted to the West First Round in individual events while the top 24 relay teams are accepted. Combined events (Heptathlon and Decathlon) will only send 24 competitors to the Championships, skipping the First Round.

The Individual event and relay team accepted entries will be posted on NCAA.com next week following the conclusion of all conference championships.

Senior thrower Cam Burkett had a great outing by breaking his personal best in the shot put and winning the event. His throw of 63’ 1” (19.23 meters), the only put over 19 meters, leads the MW and is No. 23 in the nation.

Junior jumper Elayna Chafee won the triple jump with a huge PR of 12.49 meters, good for No. 4 in school history and No. 5 in the MW this season. She also finished second in the long jump with a leap of 5.93 meters.

Junior Jacob White and senior Mason Norman broke the previous school record in the 1,500 meters in Saturday’s meet. White finished with a time of 3:40.52, also the new meet record, while Norman ran a time of 3:42.57, after altitude conversions.
