OU will look to build on last season's outdoor conference performance, where the Sooner women placed sixth and the men finished 10th in the program's inaugural SEC Outdoor Championships appearance.
The Sooners closed the regular season last weekend at the Arkansas Twilight in Fayetteville, highlighted by several strong performances aimed at improving regional qualifying marks ahead of postseason competition.
Earlier this year at the SEC Indoor Championships, Oklahoma earned multiple podium finishes, highlighted by Tyson Ritz's silver medal in the men's high jump, Hannah Pfiffner's silver in the women's high jump, BJ Green's silver in the men's triple jump and Kyren Washington's bronze medal in the men's high jump.
Oklahoma enters the weekend with several top-10 national marks. Ralford Mullings holds the No. 2 mark in the NCAA in the men's discus (65.97m (216'5.00")), while Tyson Ritz ranks No. 4 nationally in the men's high jump (2.21m (7'3.00")). Kennedy Stringfellow sits No. 6 in the men's long jump (8.07m (26'5.75")).
As a group, the men's high jump squad ranks No. 2 in the USTFCCCA Event Squad rankings, while the men's triple jump sits No. 3. The women's triple jump group ranks No. 4 nationally, while the women's long jump and women's pole vault rank No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
The Sooners are in their second season in the SEC, one of the premier conferences in collegiate track and field. In their inaugural season, Oklahoma captured eight individual conference titles and finished fourth on the women's side at the 2025 SEC Indoor Championship. At the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships, the men earned a sixth-place finish, the program's best outdoor nationals result in 28 years.
