EUGENE, Ore. - Kate Stewart-Barnett captured the women's 3000m steeplechase Big Ten title on the second day of the B1G Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
Stewart-Barnett pulled away from the field after the last barrier to earn the win in 9:42.78. This was her second Big Ten steeplechase championship, also winning in 2023 with a time of 10:01.34. She is the first multi-year  steeplechase winner for the Spartans since Leah O'Connor won four-straight from 2012-15.
"My race plan was just to go to the front and just run the pace that I felt confident and calm, and just ready to compete that last K and I'd say I executed that pretty well," Stewart-Barnett said. "There was a little more stress than I anticipated from Washington, but I was just ready to move in the last lap."
Andrew Nolan scored points for the Spartans in the 3000m steeplechase for the second-straight season. After finishing second last season, he was fourth this season in a tightly contested race. The top four finishers all ncame from the second heat. He was fourth with a time of 8:42.88.
Shae Harbaugh reached the final of the women's 800m for the second-straight season. Running in the third of five heats, Harbaugh ran a personal best 2:04.63 to advance on time. Overall, she had the fourth-fastest time. Last season, she finished sixth in the final for three points for the Spartans.
Dylan Terryberry continued a long history of success in the decathlon, finishing seventh with a personal best 7,140 points. The Spartans have had four Big Ten decathlon champions since 2018. He started the day in strong fashion with a personal best in the 110m hurdles. He finished ninth with a time of 15.25 for 820 points. In the discus throw, he had his best finish, ending third with a throw of 40.90m for 681 points. He ended the day and secured two points for the Spartans with a sixth-place finish in the 1500m (4.41.70) for 670 points.
The Michigan State men added two more points when Brady Schultz took seventh in the high jump. He cleared 2.06m to reach the podium. In his first outdoor championship, Dillon Morlock picked up a point for the Spartans in the shot put. He finished eighth with a throw of 18.56m.
In the final day of the heptathlon, Leila Barmore and Aver Budz both set personal bests. Barmore finished 16th with 5,017points. Budz was 19th with 4,788 points.
Barmore started the day with the long jump, finishing fifth with a best jump of 5.96m, which was good for 837 points. She had another strong showing in the javelin where she set a new personal best with a throw of 34.80m. Barmore earned 568 points in the event. Budz was 20th in both the long jump and the javelin throw. She had a season best throw in the javelin (22.11m) for 328 points.
