Rangers Bring Home Titles and All-American Honors at NWAC Championships
The Olympic College Track & Field team capped off a stellar season with a commanding showing at the 2025 NWAC Track & Field Championships, held May 19–20 at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon. Competing against the best from across the conference, the Rangers women earned 5th place and the men took 8th. Olympic College impressed with multiple All-American and All-Conference honors and solidifying their place among the top programs in the NWAC.
Leading the charge was freshman Shay-Lah Squally, who was crowned NWAC Champion in the women's high jump by over 10 cm, clearing 1.68 meters to earn All-American honors. Sophomore N'dya Hudson continued her standout season, sprinting to a third-place finish in the 100 meters (12.46) to join the All-American list. In the field events, freshman Nashayla Fellows delivered big, taking third in the shot put (12.38 m.) and second in the discus (39.83)—both podium finishes earning her All-American status.
On the men's side, sophomore Ivan Picazo proved dominant in the hammer throw, claiming first place and the All-American title with a massive 51.57 m. toss. His consistent presence across the throws also earned him All-Conference recognition in the shot put and discus.
Both relay squads turned in strong performances. The women's 4x100 and 4x400 teams, led by Hudson, Squally, sophomores Aalliya Alcorn, Avery Thompson, and freshman Na'Riyah Jones were key contributors to the Rangers' overall success. The men's 4x100 and 4x400 groups, anchored by freshman Aiden Smith, Zachary Cummings, Octavian Clark, Jaxson McCrimmon, Nathan Morrison, and Johny Raymundo, also earned All-Conference honors with fast, cohesive efforts on the track.
In total, Olympic College athletes received 4 All-American honors and 17 All-Conference selections across sprints, jumps, throws, and relays. The depth and determination of this group has marked 2025 as one of the program's strongest seasons to date.
