NCAA Performance List

What is unique about this list of qualifiers is that this is almost the same exact group that represented the Blue Streaks at the NCAA Indoor Championships back in March.

The only athlete who will be making his debut at the national level will be Jack Arnold.

Arnold came in towards the end of the outdoor season and contributed to the men's 4x400 meter relay to earn a qualifying mark at the Midwest Twilight Final Qualifier at Augustana College this past Thursday.

Tony Tirado returns for the men's 4x400 meter relay for the second time this season. He earned All-American honors in the event indoors.

Making his second consecutive national appearance will be Sam Su. He comes in as the ninth-ranked performer in the men's 1500 meter run and will look to continue to add to his incredible sophomore campaign as a Blue Streak.
The duo of Tyler Gast and Basheer Alramahi will make their last appearance at the national championships in a JCU uniform, both competing in the open 400 meter dash and 4x400 meter relay.

Both athletes have accomplished a ton throughout their careers and will look to put a strong emphasis on their last races as Blue Streaks.

Gast will enter the meet ranked eighth, while Alramahi comes in at 20th in the 400.

These five individuals will look to end the 2026 outdoor season on a high note and make history on the national stage next week.

The men are coming off of a 10th place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships back in March, where they earned a point total of 15 points, headlined by all individuals earning All-American accolades. This group will look to replicate that in their last meet of the year.

Meet information and schedule will be posted this evening, followed by a meet preview the day before the national championships.
