MINES SET TO HOST RMAC OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
The premier conference track & field championship in NCAA Division II comes to Golden this weekend as Colorado School of Mines will host the 2025 RMAC Outdoor Championships at Stermole Track. The three-day meet (full schedule here) kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday, crowning individual and team champions along the way. The Oredigger women hope to defend their 2024 team title and the men hope to get back on top on their home track, as well.

FAN INFORMATION
Tickets to the RMAC Championships can be purchased in advance at rmacsports.org - the meet is cashless and fans are highly encouraged to buy tickets beforehand. Fans are also reminded that they must pay for on-campus parking on Friday, but Saturday and Sunday are free (click here for parking info). Bleacher seating is available trackside and also on the infield for field events. Fans coming to see the pole vault or multi high jump on Friday should be aware that competition may be moved inside Steinhauer Fieldhouse if the weather conditions dictate; Saturday and Sunday's weather forecast is for perfect conditions.

The RMAC Championships will stream live on pay-per-view on the RMAC Network for $9.99 per day or $20 for a championship weekend pass. Every event is slated to be streamed in its entirety. 

HOSTING HISTORY
The RMAC Championships return to Stermole Track for the first time since 2018 and the fourth time overall since the facility opened. Mines also hosted the meet 10 times between 1940 and 1976 at the former Brooks Field before it became a football-only facility following Stermole Track's constructions. 

MINES AT THE RMAC CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Mines women are defending the RMAC title for the first time, having won their inaugural crown at Colorado Mesa last April with 144 points. The Orediggers are also three-time defending indoor champions, including this year. The men are looking for their first outdoor team title since 2019, and have won three overall including in 2018 (the last time Mines hosted) and in 1963, when it was the old Brooks Field; Mines was third a year ago. 

WHAT TO WATCH - FRIDAY
Friday will be a busy day with field finals in the hammer throw, pole vault, long jump, and men's javelin, the first day of the combined events, and an evening track session that includes the 10,000m finals. The men's 10K looks to be a highlight of the meet for Mines as Orediggers occupy the top seven seeds, led by Loic Scomparin, Logan Bocovich, and Paul Knight who have all run sub-29:00 this season. The combined events will see four Orediggers entered including the defending indoor champions Nick Stade and Avery Wright. Pole vault has long been a scoring strength for Mines at the conference meet and this year figures to be no different as the men have three of top four seeds led by Aidan Bennett and Noah Kelly, and the women hold three of the top five topped by conference leader Dale Thompson. The hammer throw could also produce big points for both the men and women as Holden Murphy leads the RMAC on the men's side, and Jennifer Jarnagin and Abbi Gillespie top the women's performance list. Among Friday's track prelims, Mines hopes to advance multiple qualifiers in the 400m, 1,500m and 400m hurdles.

WHAT TO WATCH - SATURDAY
Saturday's field finals include the triple jump, women's shot put, and men's discus, plus the steeplechases on the track. In the women's triple jump, indoor all-American Claire Kintzley looks to add to her medal collection, while the shot put includes two Orediggers who scored indoors in Kitt Rupar and Wright. The discus includes three Orediggers among the top eight seeds in Murphy, Franklin Rambo, and Cade Whish. Mines has strong steeplechasers with top-seeded Emily LaMena and Margaux Basart for the women, and top seed Max Bonenberger plus Alex Shaw for the men. Saturday track prelims include the 200m, 800m, and sprint hurdles, all of which have a chance to advance multiple Orediggers highlighted by the hurdles with defending men's champion Everett Delate, and indoor silver medalist Wright, and the 800m with indoor gold medalist Tim Thompson.  

WHAT TO WATCH SUNDAY
Sunday is the day champions are crowned with field finals in the women's javelin and discus, both high jumps, and the men's shot put, plus all track finals. If the team race comes down to the 5,000m, Mines will be in good position as indoor NCAA champion Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge tops the conference, while the quartet of Dawson Gunn, Knight, Bocovich, and Daniel Appleford are the top four men's seeds. Rambo is the third seed in the shot put, while Rupar leads the discus field by nearly 15 feet this season. 

RECORD SETTERS
Program records continue to fall for Mines, and the 2025 Oredigger squad now includes 17 active individual recordholders, plus two relays. Four more records fell last weekend as Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge set the women's 5,000m, Loic Scomparin the men's 10,000m, Claire Kintzley reset her triple jump mark, and Holden Murphy snapped the men's hammer. Jennifer Jarnagin (weight throw) and Avery Wright (heptathlon) reset their own marks two weeks ago, while the newest names on the list are Emily LaMena, who set the 3,000m steeplechase mark, and Grace Strongman, who broke the 1,500m record earlier in April at Stanford. For the men, Scomparin (indoor 3K), Delate (60H, 110H), Jonah Fallon (indoor 400), the men's 4x400 and DMR, Holden Murphy (WT and HT), Franklin Rambo (indoor SP), and Hunter Potrykus (indoor PV) are all atop their events, while LaMena, Strongman, Avery Wright (60H and pentathlon), Margaux Basart (3K), Ramsey-Rutledge (both 5K, outdoor 10K), Kitt Rupar (SP), Claire Kintzley (both TJ), Jarnagin (HT and WT) and Hayley Rayburn (indoor PV) have their names on the women's record wall. Allison Comer also owns the outdoor 400 hurdles record set last season. 

LOOKING AHEAD
Mines will get two weeks of last-chance qualifying in after the conference meet, heading to Colorado State's Doug Max Invite and the CSU Pueblo Last Chance on May 3 before the Azusa Pacific Last Chance and UNK Last Chance meets on May 9-10. The NCAA Outdoor Championships are back in Pueblo starting May 22.
