The United States Outdoor National Championships is taking place in Eugene, Oregon over on the West Coast. The winners will go on to the World Track and Field Championships. The events on the track and on the field represents a transitional age in the history of track and field. We have the younger generation asserting their legacies now in 2025 and an even longer group of athletes who have displayed massive. So, in the 100m for the men, Kenny Bednarek won gold with 9.79 seconds, Courtney Lindsey won silver with 9.82 seconds, and T'Mars McCallum won bronze with 9.83 seconds. For the women's 100m, we have Melissa Jefferson-Woodson winning gold with a world record of 10.65 seconds, Kayla White with 10.84 seconds, and Aleia Hobbs winning bronze with 10.92 seconds. Melissa Jefferson-Woodson now is on a mission as she has won tons of races in this 2025 season alone. She wants that gold in the World Championships in Japan plus beyond. For the 10,000m men's race, Nico Young won gold, Grant Fisher won silver, and Graham Blanks won bronze. In the 400m race, Sydney McLaughlin-Levorne won gold, Isabella Whittaker won silver, and Aaliyah Butler won bronze. Sydney McLaughlin-Levorne is adding to her legendary career with her accomplishments. For the men's discus throw, Reginald Jagers III won gold, Sam Mattis won silver, and Marcus Gustaveson won bronze. For the women's heptathlon, Anna Hall won gold, Taliyah Brooks won silver, and Allie Jones won bronze. Anna Hall has been inspired by her mentor and the track and field icon Jackee Joyner-Kersee (who is one of the greatest athletes of all time). For the women's long jump, the charismatic Tara Davis-Woodhall won gold, Claire Bryant won silver, and Quanesha Burks won silver. For the women's high jump, Vashti Cunningham won gold, Sanaa Barnes won silver, and Emma Gates won bronze. For the men's 200m race, Noah Lyles won with a world leading score of 19.63 for this year, Kenny Bednarek won silver with 19.67 seconds, and Robert Gregory won a personal best with the time of 19.80 seconds. It is no secret that Lyles and Bednarek have had a personal track and field rivalry for years. Even during the 2024 Paris Olympics, their body language showed the animosity among both athletes. Lyles is confident and cocky at times, but Bednarek has no right to push him in the back for no reason. Noah Lyles could have been seriously injured by the man seriously. Keeping your hands to yourself is a valuable truth.
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won the women's 200m race with the time of 21.84 seconds in a personal best, Anavia Battle won silver with a time of 22.13 seconds, and Gabby Thomas won bronze with a time of 22.20 seconds.
