TrackTown USA Awaits Track & Field at 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships
6/9/2026 | Track and Field
EUGENE, Ore. – Ole Miss men's and women's track & field will be represented by 10 student-athletes in six different events on the highest stage of the collegiate track season at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships, which returns to TrackTown USA at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field from June 10-13.
The finest athletes in Division I will descend upon Eugene this week for the four-day meet, which is split into men's competition (June 10 & 12) and women's competition (June 11 & 13). To get to this point, student-athletes needed to qualify for their respective NCAA Regional Preliminary Round Championship (East or West), and then needed to finish within the top-12 of their events at the regional meet in order to punch their ticket to Oregon. Athletes competing in either the decathlon or heptathlon needed only to finish within the top-12 nationally by the end of the regular season.
Those 24 total athletes will not only be competing for team or individual national championships, but also to grasp one of the coveted top-eight scoring spots for First-Team All-American status. Places nine through 16 receive Second Team All-American honors, and the remaining eight competitors receive Honorable Mention All-American distinction.
This marks the fifth NCAA Championship meet at Oregon after Hayward Field received extensive renovations immediately following the 2018 national meet in preparation for the 2022 World Athletics Championships that were held in Eugene. Hayward Field has been the home of Oregon track & field since 1921, and has hosted numerous high-end competitions, including 20 NCAA Championship meets (1962, '64, '72, '78, '84, '88, '91, '96, 2001, '10, '13, '14, '15, '16, '17, '18, '21, '22, '24, '25), 12 USA Track & Field Championships (1971, '75, '86, '93, '99, 2001, '09, '11, '15, '22, '23, '25), and eight U.S. Olympic Trials (1972, '76, '80, 2008, '12, '16, '21, '24).
Outdoors, head coach Connie Price-Smith's athletes have won eight NCAA titles while earning 96 First or Second-Team All-America nods (56 women, 40 men). Her teams have finished in the national top-25 eight times outdoors, including an overall program-record fifth-place finish by the Rebel women in 2024 and a tie for the men's overall record with tie for eighth in 2025.
Eight of Ole Miss' 11 total NCAA top-10 finishes have come under Price-Smith: 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.
Ole Miss has a strong history at the national meet, regardless of season. Across both indoor and outdoor, Ole Miss boasts 37 NCAA Champions, 358 First or Second-Team All-American honors, while as a team Ole Miss has tallied 44 top-25 team finishes and scored 936.5 total national points. Under Price-Smith both indoors and outdoors, the Rebels have 23 NCAA Champions, 197 First or Second-Team All-Americans, 21 NCAA top-25 team finishes and a total of 456 NCAA points scored – which accounts for 48.7 percent of all national points scored in Ole Miss history.

Fans can watch all four days of action live, with dedicated ESPN+ streaming links for each individual field event, as well as evening broadcast windows for the track events each night.

The finest athletes in Division I will descend upon Eugene this week for the four-day meet, which is split into men's competition (June 10 & 12) and women's competition (June 11 & 13). To get to this point, student-athletes needed to qualify for their respective NCAA Regional Preliminary Round Championship (East or West), and then needed to finish within the top-12 of their events at the regional meet in order to punch their ticket to Oregon. Athletes competing in either the decathlon or heptathlon needed only to finish within the top-12 nationally by the end of the regular season.
Those 24 total athletes will not only be competing for team or individual national championships, but also to grasp one of the coveted top-eight scoring spots for First-Team All-American status. Places nine through 16 receive Second Team All-American honors, and the remaining eight competitors receive Honorable Mention All-American distinction.
This marks the fifth NCAA Championship meet at Oregon after Hayward Field received extensive renovations immediately following the 2018 national meet in preparation for the 2022 World Athletics Championships that were held in Eugene. Hayward Field has been the home of Oregon track & field since 1921, and has hosted numerous high-end competitions, including 20 NCAA Championship meets (1962, '64, '72, '78, '84, '88, '91, '96, 2001, '10, '13, '14, '15, '16, '17, '18, '21, '22, '24, '25), 12 USA Track & Field Championships (1971, '75, '86, '93, '99, 2001, '09, '11, '15, '22, '23, '25), and eight U.S. Olympic Trials (1972, '76, '80, 2008, '12, '16, '21, '24).
Outdoors, head coach Connie Price-Smith's athletes have won eight NCAA titles while earning 96 First or Second-Team All-America nods (56 women, 40 men). Her teams have finished in the national top-25 eight times outdoors, including an overall program-record fifth-place finish by the Rebel women in 2024 and a tie for the men's overall record with tie for eighth in 2025.
Eight of Ole Miss' 11 total NCAA top-10 finishes have come under Price-Smith: 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.
Ole Miss has a strong history at the national meet, regardless of season. Across both indoor and outdoor, Ole Miss boasts 37 NCAA Champions, 358 First or Second-Team All-American honors, while as a team Ole Miss has tallied 44 top-25 team finishes and scored 936.5 total national points. Under Price-Smith both indoors and outdoors, the Rebels have 23 NCAA Champions, 197 First or Second-Team All-Americans, 21 NCAA top-25 team finishes and a total of 456 NCAA points scored – which accounts for 48.7 percent of all national points scored in Ole Miss history.
See below for more detailed information on the national qualifiers and the NCAA Championships. Fans can watch all four days of action live, with dedicated ESPN+ streaming links for each individual field event, as well as evening broadcast windows for the track events each night.
