12 Cardinals Ready for NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships
June 09, 2026 | Track & Field
The national championship meet will take place over four days from Jun. 10-13 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville track & field teams are set to conclude the 2026 season at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which will take place over four days from Jun. 11-14 in Eugene, Ore. at Hayward Field.
The Cardinals will be represented by 12 student-athletes across 12 events with KJ Byrd (men's decathlon), Ashley Callahan (women's pole vault), Alba Cuns Iglesias (women's triple jump), Eve Divinity (women's long jump), Ryan Farrell (men's 800m), Miller Jones (men's triple jump), Elsingi Kipruto (men's 5000m & 10000m), Geoffrey Kirwa (men's 3000m steeplechase), Roman Kuleshov (men's long jump & triple jump), Ty McPhail (men's pole vault), Iliana Triantafyllou (women's pole vault), and Kaia Tupu-South (women's shot put) all slated to compete in Eugene.
The 14 total qualifications stand as the most for the Cards since the NCAA moved to the current two-regional qualification system in 2010 and match the 2009 team for the most in program history.
Live results for the meet can be found here, while the full competition schedule for Louisville athletes can be found below. Additionally, portions of the meet will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks, while each field event over the course of the competition will have an event-specific stream on ESPN+.
The field in Eugene will feature 24 student-athletes in each event, 12 from the East Region and 12 from the West Region, that punched their ticket to the national championship two weeks ago at the NCAA First Round competitions.
The top eight finishers in each event will be recognized as First Team All-Americans, with those that finish ninth through 16th being named Second Team All-Americans and those that finish 17th through 24th earning Honorable Mention All-American distinction.
Entering the meet, the Louisville men are ranked 15th in the most recent USTFCCCA NCAA DI National TFRI, as they look to place inside the top 10 at the national championship meet for just the second time in program history.
Geoffrey Kirwa and Elsingi Kipruto both enter the meet with NCAA-leading times in the men's 3000m steeplechase and men's 10000m, respectively, with Kipruto also set to contest the men's 5000m in Eugene.
