THE SEASON SO FAR: Johnson has competed in the decathlon just once so far in 2026, his first 10-event outing in two years after redshirting the 2025 outdoor season. His Mt.

Johnson's top event is the 110m hurdles, in which he has a personal and season best of 14.04 – 12th-fastest by any ACC hurdler this year.

THE SEASON SO FAR: Rogers has competed four times in the long jump this outdoor season, earning event titles in his first two meets before scoring for Cal at the ACC Outdoor Championships and saving his best for last at the NCAA West Regionals: a leap of 7.76m (25-5.5) to finish seventh out of 47 competitors and qualify for his first NCAA Championships. The second-year dual-sport athlete is now 10th on Cal's all-time list.
 
Valentina Savva – Women's Hammer Throw (Thursday)

The ACC's No. 1 woman in the event followed that up with a throw of 69.18m (227-0) at the NCAA West Regionals, leading the rest of the field by four feet, three inches, to qualify for her second straight NCAA Outdoor Championships. Savva will look to break the 70-meter barrier for the second time in her career this week, having done so for the first time at the 2025 European U23 Championships.
