PREFONTAINE STADIUM
• Ole Miss competes at Prefontaine Stadium, which renamed in 2025 following a $750,000 gift from Ole Miss supporters Debbie and Andy Prefontaine. The Prefontaines became Ole Miss fans when their son, Kevin, attended the university in the 1990s, with Andy choosing Ole Miss track & field's stadium as the destination for his gift in part as a way to honor his cousin, the legendary Steve Prefontaine, who ran at Oregon and was the crown jewel of American distance running before his tragic death at the age of 24.
• Prefontaine Stadium, previously known as the Ole Miss Track & Field Complex, was built in 2004 and received $7.2 million in upgrades in 2017 that can seat 1,500 spectators in its new design. In 2022, a new locker room facility -- the Jerry Hollingsworth Track & Field / Cross Country Facility -- was opened as an addition to the overall complex. Both sets of renovations helped the facility shine for the 2022 SEC Outdoor Championships, which helped generate an estimated $2.8 million in business for the Oxford community.
NOTES
• Ole Miss is coming off a superb indoor season that saw both Rebel sqauds finish within the top-15 at the national meet and witnessed the Rebel men set the program record for best team finish ever at the SEC Indoor Championships.
• The Rebel women finished 14th at 18 points, 13 alone from USTFCCCA South Region Women's Field Athlete of the Year Akaoma Odeluga, who was the NCAA runner-up in the shot put and finished fourth in the weight throw -- the first national points of her career. Senior Alicia Burnett scored the remaining five as the fourth-place finisher in the 60-meter dash, two weeks after breaking the SEC meet record and Ole Miss record at 7.08 to win the first 60-meter title in women's program history.
• Both Rebel women also earned season honors from the SEC, with Odeluga winning SEC Women's Field Athlete of the Year and a share of the women's SEC Cliff Harper Trophy following her two SEC silver medals, while Burnett won the SEC Women's Runner of the Year award.
• Senior Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan -- also the USTFCCCA South Region Men's Field Athlete of the Year, SEC Men's Field Athlete of the Year and the sole winner of the men's SEC Cliff Harper Trophy following his third straight conference sweep -- scored all 16 points for the 15th-place Rebel men after winning his third consecutive indoor national title in the shot put and finishing third in the weight throw.
• Robinson-O'Hagan's three-peat made him one of only three in Division I men's history to claim three indoor shot put titles in a row alongside Kansas' Karl Salb (1969-71), UTEP's Hans Hoglund (1973-75) and Arizona State's Ryan Whiting (2008-10). He ended his spectacular indoor career at Ole Miss with those three national titles, seven First-Team All-America awards and an astounding 50 career NCAA Indoor points scored.
• Ole Miss is under the watch of 11th-year head coach Connie Price-Smith, who has led the Rebels to 21 NCAA top-25 team finishes while coaching 23 NCAA individual champions (17 titles), 15 NCAA runners-up, 197 First or Second-Team All-Americans, 456 NCAA points, 84 SEC individual champions and a bevy of the best team finishes in program history on both a conference and national level.
• Price-Smith owns eight of the 11 all-time NCAA top-10 finishes in Ole Miss history: 2025 men's outdoor (T-8th), 2025 men's indoor (T-10th), 2024 women's outdoor (5th), 2024 women's indoor (5th), 2023 women's indoor (10th), 2022 women's indoor (T-6th), 2022 men's indoor (T-10th), 2021 men's indoor (10th).
