6/11/2025 10:01:00 PM | Track and Field
EUGENE, Ore. - Andrew Nolan ended his storied Michigan State career in the semifinals of the 3000m steeplechase Wednesday at historic Hayward Field for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships June 11-14 in Eugene, Oregon.
In his final meet as a Spartan, Nolan finished 23rd with a time of 8:45.83. This was Nolan's first trip to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, only previously competing in the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Iowa State's Joash Ruto was the top finisher in the semifinal with a time of 8:22.94.
Kate Stewart-Barnett will take center stage in the 3000m steeplechase semifinals on Thursday, June 12 at 7:38 p.m. ET. The reigning Big Ten Champion will also be competing in the first heat. Stewart-Barnett is seeded sixth in the NCAA with a season-best time of 9:36.96. This will be her first appearance in the NCAA Outdoor Championships. She will be returning to Hayward Field where she won the Big Ten Championship in May, looking to become the first MSU woman to earn All-American honors in the 3000m steeplechase since Karrigan Smith in 2019.
Rachel Forsyth will be the last Spartan in action in the 5000m final on Saturday, competing in the first heat. In the semifinal in Jacksonville, Florida, Forsyth finished sixth in her heat and ninth overall to qualify on time. She is seeded No. 22 in the NCAA with a personal best time of 15:30.50. The freshman will be competing in her first NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She is looking to become the first Spartan to earn All-American honors in the 5000m since Jenna Magness in 2021.
