WALNUT, California — The 2026 USATF Tour will make its fourth stop this weekend for the 66th Mt. SAC Relays at Hilmer Lodge Stadium, featuring World Athletics Continental Tour Silver competition in the combined events on Wednesday and Thursday, and Bronze competition in 10 other disciplines on Saturday, evenly apportioned between men and women.
Topping the bill in the field events will be a matchup between the Moll twins from the University of Washington in the women's pole vault. The two tied for sixth at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, and between them have four NCAA indoor and outdoor titles. Amanda Moll is the absolute collegiate record holder with a best of 4.91/16-1.25 that she set in winning the Big 10 crown last year, while Hana Moll has a PB of 4.88/16-0 that ranks her second on the all-time collegiate performer list. Hana won the NCAA indoor gold in March to add to her national outdoor title from 2025 and indoor victory from 2024.
Another Washington star, James Rhoads, leads the entries in the men's pole vault after joining the 19-foot club in January with a 5.82/19-1 clearance in Seattle. He went over 5.80/19-0.25 two weeks later and then earned bronze at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Nate Richartz matched his personal best with a 5.75/18-10.5 effort to place fourth at the USATF Indoor Championships, while three-time Japanese champion Masaki Ejima adds international flavor and a 5.70/18-8.25 PB.
Vashti Cunningham has won 16 indoor and outdoor USATF golds in her storied high jump career and was the World Indoor champion in 2016 as an 18-year-old. Cunningham has a PB of 2.02/6-7.5, with five meets at or above the 2.00m barrier. A three-time Olympic finalist, she is the No. 4 all-time U.S. performer and also boasts World Indoor silver from 2018 and World Championships bronze from 2019.
Her top challenger will be Texas Tech's Temitope Adeshina, the Nigerian record holder and winner of the last two NCAA Indoor titles. Adeshina has twice gone over 1.97/6-5.5 this year and is the No. 8 all-time collegiate performer. Alyssa Jones of Stanford claimed bronze behind Adeshina last month at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a PB leap of 1.91/6-3.25, and Arizona's Emma Gates was fourth in that competition.
The men's high jump has the silver and bronze medalists from the NCAA Indoor Championships in the shape of Oklahoma's Kyren Washington and Scottie Vines of Arkansas. Washington's PB of 2.25/7-4.5 earned him bronze at the SEC Indoor Championships, while Vines has a PB of 2.29/7-6 from last year. Vines was the gold medalist for Team USATF at the World U20 Championships in 2024.
Former Texas State star Kason O'Riley was the bronze medalist at the USATF Indoor Championships in March and tied for silver at the 2025 NCAA Championships with Bobcat teammate Aiden Hayes. Hayes was fourth at this year's USATF Indoors. Another Oklahoma contender is Tyson Ritz, the SEC Indoors runner-up with a PB of 2.25/7-4.5.
Olympian and World Championships qualifier Russell Robinson has won the last two USATF Indoor Championships golds in the men's triple jump and added an outdoor crown in 2025. He has a PB of 17.30/56-9.25 and was in the top 12 at the past two World Indoor Championships. Twice an NCAA indoor champion for Texas Tech, Jonathan Seremes of France was also fifth at this year's World Indoor Championships and placed eighth at the 2025 World Championships.
Seremes has a best of 17.25/56-7.25 that gave him the NCAA indoor gold this year. His French countryman, Thomas Gogois, has the best PB in the field at 17.38/57-0.25 and was the European Championships bronze medalist in 2024. Sweden's Gabriel Wallmark won the 2021 World U20 title with a PB leap of 16.43/53-11 and has six national golds to his credit. One other jumper to keep an eye on is Oklahoma's Brandon Green, the NCAA indoor fourth-place finisher who has gone 16.94/55-7 in his career.
Last year's NCAA indoor champion in the women's triple jump, Agur Dwol, bounded to a big PB of 14.28/46-10.25 to take over the No. 8 spot on the all-time U.S. performer list. She was the NACAC bronze medalist in 2025 and made the World Championships team after placing second at the USATF Championships and earning bronze at the NCAA Championships for Oklahoma. Tamiah Washington of Texas Tech was the 2025 NCAA Indoors silver medalist with her PB leap of 13.72/45-0.25, and she added bronze at this year's meet. The USATF bronze medalist from 2025, Euphenie Andre, went on to earn silver at the NACAC Championships and brings in a PB of 13.64/44-9.
High-powered matchups on the oval include a 200 showdown between Britain's 2025 World Indoor Championships 400 gold medalist Amber Anning and two-time U.S. Olympian Jenna Prandini, owner of a 21.89 PB that earned her silver at the 2021 Olympic Trials. Anning set the British indoor national record in the 200 with a 22.60 two years ago, and she has a pair of Olympic 4x400 relay bronzes from 2024.
Deajah Stevens won the USATF title in 2017 and was seventh at the 2016 Olympic Games and fifth at the 2017 World Championships. She has a PB of 22.09 from 2017 and clocked her second fastest time ever with a 22.18 last June. Other contenders include Jamaica's Olympic 4x100 gold medalist Briana Williams, the runner-up in the 150 at the Miramar Invitational on April 4, and Celera Barnes, who won the 2025 USATF Indoor Championships 60 gold. Cote d'Ivoire's Maboundou Kone is a three-time World Championships competitor and was an Olympian in 2024.
A spicy men's 200 will have American indoor record holder and NCAA indoor champion Garrett Kaalund of USC, who is making his outdoor debut for 2026 after a stellar 19.95 at the NCAA meet that made him the No. 2 all-time world indoor performer. Kaalund ran his outdoor PB of 19.85 last May. Jamaica's Andrew Hudson was eighth at the 2023 World Championships and has a PB of 19.87 but has not showed that kind of form recently. That opens the door for Texas high school phenom Tate Taylor, the co-holder of the national prep record in the 100 at 9.92 and the third fastest high schooler ever at 200 with a PB of 20.14. Ghana's national record holder, Joseph Amoah, was an Olympian in 2021 and twice made the World Championships in the 200. He has a PB of 20.08 from 2019.
James Smith, the fifth-place finisher in the men's 400 hurdles at the 2023 Pan American Games, will be favored to win with a PB of 48.87 set on this track last year. Smith was fifth at the 2024 Olympic Trials. Puerto Rico's Yan Vazquez of Arizona has won two national titles in his home country and has a PB of 49.98, while five-time Israel national champion Omri Shiff has a best of 49.82. Japan's Syota Fuchigami was the Asian U20 champion in 2024 and has run 48.78 in his young career. Last year's USATF sixth-place finisher Reyte Rash is one to watch, sporting a PB of 49.45.
Heading the entries in the women's 400 hurdles is Abbey Glynn, who helped Team USATF to gold in the 4x400 at this year's World Indoor Championships with a solid leg in the heats. Glynn has a PB of 55.31 and was seventh at last year's USATF Championships. Three-time Mexican champion Yara Samantha Amador is another sub-56 performer with a 55.55 PB that earned her bronze at last year's NACAC Championships.
