The third and final day of the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Pueblo, Colo., on Saturday (May 24) saw three more Ashland University women's athletes earn All-American status.

  • Sophomore Molly Winner earned her fourth All-American award of 2025 and of her Eagle career by placing seventh in the women's shot put. Her top effort was a PR of 15.29 meters/50-feet-2.
