HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Led by a pair of National Championship performances, including an NJCAA top all-time mark, the Barton Community College women’s track and field team led all Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference schools with a National Runner-Up finish at the 2025 NJCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships held at Gowans Stadium on the campus of Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Finishing with a team total of 90.33 points, Barton trailed only the 2025 National Champions Iowa Western Community College after holding the lead going into day three with limited scoring opportunities allowing the Reivers to overcome the deficit and win their second outdoor track and field National Title in program history. Eight points back of Barton was Cloud County with a third-place finish after scoring 82.33 points while Allen Community College took ninth with 37 total points. Also scoring at the National Championship meet from the KJCCC was both Coffeyville and Colby tying for 13th (19 points), Fort Scott in 15th (16 points), Cowley in 17th place (12 points), and Garden City (23rd, seven points).
Individually, five National Titles were won by KJCCC athletes along with a trio of relay teams winning National Titles with Cloud County accounting for three individual titles and two relay titles. In addition to the T-Birds, Barton had two different athletes win an individual National Title while Allen Community College had their 4x100 meter relay team win a National Title.
On the track, Cloud County’s Maimuna Jallow won both the 100 meters and 200 meters National Titles by running a stadium record time of 11.29 seconds in the 100-meter preliminaries before posting a finals time of 11.56 seconds to win by 0.12 seconds over Allen’s RaNayla Moten before adding a 200 meters National Title with a time of 22.92 seconds. Cloud County also added an individual National Title in the 400 meters with Rafiatu Nuhu running a stadium record time of 51.46 seconds in the preliminaries followed by a finals time of 52.41 seconds to outlast Barton’s Keliza Smith who finished runner up with a time of 52.99 seconds before ending the meet on Saturday by running the anchor leg of the 4x400 meter relay (Nontokozo Ncube, Mercy Angaamchaab, Jallow, and Nuhu) that ran a winning time of 3:34.05. Angaamchaab and Ncube also were part of Cloud County’s 4x800 meter relay (Amanda Kotambe, N Vanee Anchike, Angaamchaab, Ncube) that set a stadium record by running the number two NJCAA all-time pace by recording a time of 8:47.04 to win the event by over 12 seconds.
Other NJCAA National Titles won in track events by KJCCC athletes saw Allen’s 4x100 meter relay team (Kayveonna Jackson, RaNayla Moten, Ala’Jah Brooks, Adetutu Aladeloye) qualify in the preliminaries with the second-fastest time of 44.74 seconds before running a time of 44.58 seconds to win the event over Barton’s 4x100 meter relay team that ran a time of 44.67 seconds in the finals. Barton did, however, have the individual National Champion in the 100-meter hurdles with Asharria Ulet run the 14th-fastest time in NJCAA history at 13.45 seconds despite running into a headwind of 1.3 meters/second.
The lone NJCAA individual National Champion in field events for the KJCCC came in record-breaking fashion as Barton’s Cedricka Williams put a bow on her historic season by breaking the NJCAA national record in the discus on two of her first three attempts to win the event with a throw of 61.07 meters (200 feet, 4 inches) to finish the season with eight marks that set national records at the time of the throw.
Barton’s National Runner-Up team finish was the eighth consecutive year that the Cougars have finished in the top five at the NJCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships while Cloud County has now placed in the top five of the outdoor meet four years in a row.
