🔼 Coming Up. The track and field team is competing in the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships today! The team will look to defend their men's outdoor national title and improve upon their women's national runner-up finish from last season. Nine Trojan men and Nine Women of Troy, along with all four relay teams, will look to score points toward the team total starting with prelims on Wednesday for men and Thursday for the women.

Today’s Top Tier Performance presented by ARCO is Emily Ausmus. Ausmus won the Peter J. Cutino Award. The Cutino Award is given annually to the top men's and women's NCAA Division I water polo players as voted on by coaches from across the country.
