PUBELO, Colo.  Western Colorado's track and field program will have a trio of competitors at the 2025 NCAA Division II outdoor track and field championship meet, which begins on Thursday, May 22, at Colorado State University Pueblo's ThunderBowl.

Allison Beasley and Eddie Siuda qualified for the women's and men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, respectively, and Nykole Meshew will compete in the women's high jump.

Beasley is running in her third consecutive NCAA outdoor championship. She earned an All-American honor at the 2023 meet with a second-place finish in the steeplechase, and qualified for the steeplechase in 2024 but was injured early in the race and was unable to finish.

Her experiences at nationals go beyond the outdoor season, though, as Beasley has run in three indoor NCAA championships. She was a member of the 11th-place distance medley relay (DMR) at the 2022 meet, then earned an All-American honor as a member of the third place DMR at the 2023 championship where she added another All-American award by taking seventh in the women's mile. Beasley placed 13th in the women's 3,000m run at the 2024 indoor meet.

Siuda is making a second appearance at the outdoor championships. In 2024 he qualified for and ran in the men's steeplechase, placing ninth to earn a second-team All-American honor.

The 2025 outdoor championship will be Meshew's first national appearance. She qualified for the meet while winning the women's high jump at the 2025 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference outdoor championship.

Beasley and Siuda will race in their respective preliminary heats of the steeplechase on Thu., May 22. Beasley enters the championship with the sixth fastest time among her DII peers in the event, posting a time of 10 minutes, 18.68 seconds at a meet on April 16 in California. Siuda's season-best time of 8:50.09 is the 11th fastest in DII, a clocking he registered at the same meet in California.

There will be two preliminary heats in the steeplechase with the top four finishers from each heat along with the next four fastest finishers advancing to the event final on Friday night, May 23.

Meshew captured the RMAC title with a winning leap of 1.73-meters (5 feet-8 inches), a height that ranks 10th in Division II heading into the championship, while also climbing to sixth all time on Western's top-10 list.

The women's high jump event is scheduled for a late-afternoon competition on May 23.

Beasley, Siuda and Meshew were each named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) NCAA DII All-Region (South Central) team on May 14, after earlier earning first-team All-RMAC honors with their top-three finishes at the conference championship meet.
