The 2025-26 LSU athletics season closes at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, and the Tigers are looking to finish the season strong. From June 10-13, the men’s and women’s track teams will look to rack up enough points to claim a national championship for LSU. The men will compete on Wednesday and Friday, and the women will compete on Thursday and Saturday. The LSU men are looking for their sixth outdoor ****** le and first since 2021, while the women are looking for a record-extending 15th non-vacated ****** le and first since 2008. These will be broadcast across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+.
For those unfamiliar, the track and field championship is determined by a combined points system. Teams do not qualify as combined units. Instead, individual competitors and relay squads from each team qualify out of regionals. Each person or squad is fighting to win a national championship for themselves and points for their team. The national champions score 10 points, the runners-up score 8, and third-eighth score 6-1 points in descending order. It’s possible to score multiple points on one event, and that’s the best chance for LSU to rack up points.
To clear up broadcast info, all field events will be broadcast on ESPN+. On Wednesday, all of LSU’s track events except the 4x400m semifinals will be broadcast on ESPN. The rest of the championship will be broadcast on ESPN2 for both the men and the women. To save ****** e, here is a link to the full schedule of all four days. Add two hours to each time listed since those times are in Pacific.
The men have 11 points-scoring opportunities. At 7:05, the #12 seed 4x100m relay team of Jeremiah Walker, Jaiden Reid, Shakeem McKay, Joshua Caleb and alternate Jordan Turner will run their semifinal race. An hour later, #13 seed Matthew Sophia will run in the second heat of the 110m hurdles. Before LSU’s next runner steps on the track, the javelin finals start about a half hour after Sophia runs. #13 Jack Larriviere will be throwing in the second flight. All field finals are split into two sections. Field athletes have to be in the top nine at the cut-off to advance to the points-scoring round.
During the javelin finals, #10 Jaiden Reid will run in the third heat of the 100m dash. The long jump finals begin around the same time as the 400m heats, and #7 Jordan Turner will be jumping in flight two. LSU has a runner in all three 400m heats. #12 Malachi Austin will run first, then #11 Grant Buckmiller, and then finally #14 Amal Glasgow. About an hour later, the 200m heats start, and #2 Jaiden Reid will be in heat three.
