MINES DEFENDS RMAC INDOOR CROWNS IN COLORADO SPRINGS
The postseason begins Friday for Colorado School of Mines as the Oredigger men and women defend their titles at the 2025 RMAC Indoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by UCCS at the Mountain Lion Fieldhouse. The Orediggers have two fully-loaded teams entered in the meet as they chase not only gold, but final national qualifying performances ahead of the NCAA Indoor Championships in March. The two-day meet begins Friday at 8 a.m. and continues at 9:45 a.m. Saturday.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY
The Oredigger women are the two-time defending RMAC indoor champions, winning in 2023 and 2024, while the men won their sixth title all-time last year. It marked the first time in program history that both Oredigger teams won titles on the same day. This year, the Oredigger men hope to complete the second leg of the RMAC triple crown having already won the conference cross country title in the fall.

WHAT TO WATCH - FRIDAY
Friday's slate is heavy on field finals, beginning with the men's weight throw at 8 a.m. Friday. It's an event Mines has circled with top-seeded Holden Murphy leading the RMAC this season with his school-record 20.06m performance. The men's pole vault (10 a.m.) features defending co-champions Hunter Potrykus and Aidan Bennett, who are two of the event's top five seeds along with Noah Kelly, with Shane Conley and Jay Peonio also point-scoring threats. Mines hopes to continue its dominance in the women's pole vault (2 p.m.) as well with the top two (and four of the top five) seeds in Hayley Rayburn, Dale Thompson, Ava Kowalski, and Taylor Hindman, plus Madeline Obuchowski and Maddie Kelly. Claire Kintzley will start her meet with the women's long jump (4 p.m.), and the women's weight throw (6 p.m.) bookends what could be a strong Mines Friday as Jennifer Jarnagin and Abbi Gillespie enter as the top two seeds with Kitt Rupar and Audrey Ott also in the mix. 

Friday's track slate (1 p.m.) has only two finals, but there is plenty of point-scoring potential for Mines in both the 5,000m and distance medley relay. The second head of the men's 5K is loaded with Orediggers, including top seeds Paul Knight and Loic Scomparin, plus Jeremiah Vaille, Daniel Appleford, Logan Bocovich, Dawson Gunn, and Ethan Grolnic; Braden Struhs will run in the first heat as well. The women's field is led by national recordholder Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge joined by Margaux Basart, Emily LaMena, and Callen Nash in the top heat, with Josie Mejia running the opener. Mines will have a strong women's DMR with Grace Strongman, Maya Evans, Avary Catchings, and Ramsey-Rutledge, while the men will put a new lineup of Shalom Trowbridge, Austin Schmidt, Owen Schneider, and Andreas O'Malley out on track. Friday track prelims including the 60m hurdles, 60m dash, and 200m and 400m dashes; the hurdles are highlighted by defending champ and RMAC recordholder Everett Delate plus 2024 finalist Coulton Chan; the women will run top-seeded Avery Wright and Lisa Sutherland (in addition to their multi duties) plus Allison Comer. Tegan Daughters qualified for the men's 60m and 200m dashes, and Mines looks to advance multiple 400m runners with Evans, Comer, Grace Galvin, and Aani Hardesty in the women's prelims, and Austin Schmidt, Elijah Quinby, Jonah Fallon, Ollie Sehr, and Liam Currie in the men's heats.

Friday will also have the women's pentathlon plus day 1 of the men's heptathlon; defending pentathlon silver medalist Avery Wright joins Lisa Sutherland in the women's multi, while Jake LaFore, Nick Stade, and Vaughn Hafner go after the men's heptathlon podium.

WHAT TO WATCH - SATURDAY
Saturday starts out with the conclusion of the men's heptathlon (9:45 a.m.), and the field schedule begins for Mines with the men's shot put final at 11 a.m. , where RMAC leader Franklin Rambo and 2024 silver medalist Brody Welch are joined by Holden Murphy and Keaton Reiman. Top-seeded Claire Kintzley competes in the women's triple jump at 11 a.m., while Vaughn Hafner adds the men's high jump to his already busy schedule at 1:30 p.m. The women's shot put is one of the RMAC's deepest events and it ends the field schedule at 1:30 p.m. with 2024 bronze medalist Rupar, Jarnagin, and Wright all entered for Mines. 

Saturday's track finals start with the 60m hurdles and dash finals at noon, and the mile (12:45 p.m.) will have top-seeded Brock Drengenberg and Andreas O'Malley in the men's race, and Grace Strongman and Lexi Herr for the women, before the 400m final takes the track at 1:20 p.m. Tim Thompson is the #1 seed in the men's 800m (1:40 p.m.), entered along with Owen Schneider, while Avary Catchings is a scoring threat in the women's race. Margaux Basart, Emily LaMena, and Lexi Herr run the women's 3,000m final at 2:55 p.m., and the men will load up with top-seeded Loic Scomparin joined by Alberto Campa, Max Bonenberger, and Ethan Grolnic. If the meet comes down to the 4x400 relays, Mines will have strong entries in both with Catchings, Comers, Evans, and Galvin on the women's relay and the RMAC-leading combo of Currie, Fallon, Daughters, and Sehr on the men's baton.

IN THE POLLS
Mines stayed in the top 10 of the most recent USTFCCCA indoor ratings index for a third consecutive poll as the men maintained their #3 ranking and women rose a spot to #7. The men's ranking is equal to its best since the 2022 season and was their best debut poll since 2020. The women's #6 ranking a month ago marked their best poll debut ever.

RECORD SETTERS
The 2024-25 Oredigger squad now includes 14 active individual recordholders, plus one relay. For the men, Loic Scomparin (3K), Everett Delate (60H), Jonah Fallon (400), the men's 4x400, Holden Murphy (WT), Franklin Rambo (SP), and Hunter Potrykus (PV) are all atop their events, while Avery Wright (60H and pentathlon), Margaux Basart (3K), Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge (5K), Kitt Rupar (SP), Claire Kintzley (TJ) and Hayley Rayburn (PV) have their names on the women's indoor record wall. Allison Comer also owns the outdoor 400 hurdles record set last season, and Wright has the outdoor heptathlon mark.

EARNING SILVER
Six current and former Mines track & field student-athletes earned degrees at the university's winter commencement ceremonies on Dec. 13. Two current squad members - Shane Conley and Alex Shaw - earned the B.S. degrees in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, respectively, while four alumni earned master's degrees in Duncan Fuehne (Applied Physics), Bo Raadam (Earth Resources Development Engineering), Zoe Baker (Computer Science), and Aryelle Wright (Quantitative Biosciences & Engineering).
