CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard track & field will once again feature heavily in a high profile competition, as four former and current Crimson will travel to Eugene, Oregon for the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships. Action begins on Thursday, July 31^st and concludes on Sunday, Aug. 3. Hayward Field will host all the action as Harvard fans can watch live on NBC and Peacock.

One of the most decorated female athletes in United States track & field history, Gabby Thomas '19 will compete in a pair of events at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Thomas begins her weekend with the first round of the 100m on Thursday, July 31 at 7:07 p.m. eastern standard time. The women's 100m semifinal begins at 7:20 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 1 while the final starts at 10:27 p.m. EST later that evening. The 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist in the women's 200m, Thomas will also run the 200m at the USATF Outdoor Championships. The women's 200m semifinal will run on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 3:32 p.m. EST as the final starts later that day at 5:13 p.m. EST.

Thomas cemented her legacy last summer, winning three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. A native of Northampton, Massachusetts, Thomas took home gold in the women's 200m at the Stade de France with France, following it up with golds in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Thomas is only the second American in Olympic to win gold in the 200m, 4x100m relay and the 4x400m relay at the same Olympic Games.

Two Crimson All-Americans will run the women's 800m at the USATF Outdoor Championships, as junior Sophia Gorriaran and Victoria Bossong '25 will represent Harvard in the event. The women's 800m first round starts at 6:37 p.m. EST on Thursday, July 31, with the semifinal starting at 7:01 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 1. The women's 800m final is scheduled for 4:18 p.m. EST on Sunday, Aug. 3.

Both Bossong and Gorriaran shined in the 800m at the collegiate level last season. The Ivy League record holder in the women's 800m with a time of 1:59.48, Bossong finished in second in the 800m at the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning All-America First Team honors in the process. A native of Cumberland Foreside, Maine, Bossong finished in ninth in the women's 800m to take All-America Second Team honors to conclude her collegiate career.

A four-time All-American in the 800m across both indoor and outdoor competition, Gorriaran made strides in her second campaign with the Crimson. Gorriaran ran a personal-best 2:00.46 in the 800m at the NCAA East First Round and took home an Ivy League title in the 800m at the Ivy League Heptagonal Outdoor Championships.

Two-time NCAA men's cross country champion Graham Blanks '25 is poised to run in a pair of distance events. Blanks starts his time at Hayward Field with the men's 10,000m at 11:08 p.m. EST on Thursday, July 31^st, followed by the men's 5000m on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 4:52 p.m. EST.

A household name in American distance running, Blanks orchestrated a one-of-a-kind collegiate career, becoming the first student-athlete in Ivy League history to win a NCAA national title in men's cross country and the 13^th student-athlete in NCAA history to win consecutive NCAA men's cross country national titles. Before he turned pro with New Balance, Blanks become the second student-athlete in NCAA history to run sub-13 minutes in the men's 5000m, meeting the World Championships standard with a time of 12:59.89.
