PUEBLO, Colo. - Cal Poly Pomona's Collin Joyce and Chico State's Hunter Dougherty became the latest CCAA men's track & field student-athletes to earn All-American honors at the 2025 NCAA Championships.
 
Joyce finished fifth in the triple jump, and Dougherty took sixth in the 3,000m steeplechase. Nnamdi Onwaeze and the Chico State 4x400m relay team were successful in their prelim races and earned a place in Saturday's finals.
 
Collin Joyce was ranked No. 18 out of 22 in the field entering nationals before taking home All-American honors with a fifth-place finish. The redshirt freshman posted a season-best mark of 52-2.5 (15.91m) on his third attempt to shatter his previous personal record by almost two feet. He is the first CCAA student-athlete to earn All-American honors in the triple jump since 2019 (Matt Bowen, UCSD).
 
The effects of running 3k steeplechases on consecutive days did not slow down Chico State's Hunter Dougherty as he finished sixth in the finals after also placing sixth in the prelims. The senior registered a time of 9:04.63 to collect three team points for the Wildcats. He moved up two places on the final lap to become Chico State's first track & field All-American in 2025.
 
Cal Poly Pomona's Nnamdi Onwaeze will be running in the 110m hurdles finals after placing fifth in the prelims with a personal-best time of 13.63. He took 0.31 seconds off his previous career-best time to earn a place in the finals.
 
The Chico State men's 4x400m relay team of Trey Suffredini, Brody Staley, Quincy Patton, and Vincent Rinaldi grabbed the last spot in the finals. The Wildcats placed ninth with a season-best time of  3:07.82.
 
The Cal Poly Pomona men's 4x400m relay team of Alessio Sommacal, Leroy Crook, Joshua Morinaga, and Camden Patterson just missed qualifying for the finals. The Broncos also posted a season-best time (3:08.12) but finished 10th to miss the cut.
 
The 2025 NCAA Track & Field Championships will conclude on Saturday, May 24. The CCAA will have numerous teams and individuals represented in the finals, including Sommacal (400m hurdles), Stanislaus State's Trent Lauderdale (400m hurdles), Chico State's Damian Garcia (1500m), and Cal State San Marcos' Kalathan Laiwa-McKay.
