EUGENE, Ore. – Superstar twin sisters Amanda and Hana Moll put on yet another show at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, and for the second year in a row there was a bit of a plot twist. After Hana dominated the pole vault all season, winning the NCAA Indoor title in March and upping the outdoor collegiate record most recently at the Big Ten meet in May, today it was Amanda that had a soaring return to top form. Amanda took her second national title, and first outdoors, and broke Hana's outdoor NCAA Record, while Hana took second.
It was a reversal from the 2025 outdoor championship, where Amanda had come in with the NCAA Indoor title and both Big Ten Championships and the collegiate record under her belt, but then Hana took the outdoor national title with a record-breaking performance.
This season, Amanda missed most of the indoor campaign coming back to full strength after an injury, and it wasn't until the Big Ten Outdoor meet a month ago that Amanda jumped near the top of the national rankings with a runner-up finish to Hana. It was Hana sweeping the Big Ten titles this year and upping the outdoor collegiate record on two occasions, before Amanda staged the "upset" at NCAAs.
So what it all adds up to is for the second year in a row, the twins each claimed one NCAA title. Hana remains in the sister vs. sister lead with three NCAA titles, but Amanda has closed the gap now with her second. Amongst those five victories, today was just the second time they have gone 1-2 at an NCAA Championship meet, having also gone 1-2 at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championship, with Amanda winning that day as well.
The 18 points from the twins puts the Huskies into the team lead at the end of the first day of the women's competition. The Huskies will have three more chances to score on Saturday, with Julia David-Smith and Chloe Thomas in the 5,000-meters final, and Sofia Cosculluela competing in day two of the hepathlon.
Friday's action for UW will see Reuben Reina in the final of the men's 1,500-meters, and Cosculluela will begin her heptathlon competition.
Moll Dynasty and Four in the Top-15
While the twins went 1-2 and stood atop the podium together, UW also got great efforts in the pole vault from senior Sara Borton and freshman Veronica Vacca.
Borton had extended her Husky career at West Prelims by clearing a career-best of 14-6 1/4 to win a jump-off for the 12th and final spot. Today, at her first NCAA Championships since 2023, Borton had more third-attempt heroics. At the third bar of the competition, Borton made 14-4 3/4 on her last try to stay alive. Then, facing a third attempt again at the next bar, Borton amazingly got clean over another career-best of 14-8 3/4, fighting back tears after she landed on the mat, and hugging her teammates. Borton's run would finally come to an end at the next bar, and she finished in a tie for ninth, just one spot off the podium, but still an epic career-best performance to cap her Husky career. The new PR ranks Borton fifth in UW history and she earns Second Team All-America honors.
Vacca capped her excellent freshman season with Second Team All-America honors as well. She took 10th at the NCAA Indoor meet in March and finished 15th today, clearing three bars on the day, with a best of 14-4 3/4. She was second amongst freshmen in the field.
As for the Molls, they each passed at multiple heights today to try and limit their attempts but also maintain a bit of rhythm. Amanda came in first after passing the opening bar, and she made 13-11 on one try, then 14-4 3/4 on a second attempt. She then passed to 14-10 3/4 and made that on a first try. The field was down to six at that point.
Hana Moll entered at 14-4 3/4 and made it on one attempt, then cleared 14-10 3/4 on her second attempt.
Both sisters then passed at 15-0 3/4, which two other competitors jumped at and cleared. But with the bar then rising to 15-2 3/4, Amanda was the first to clear, which put her into the lead for the first time since the second bar of the competition. And moments later, Hana cleared on a first attempt which put them into a tie. Anna Willis of South Dakota and Ashley Callahan of Louisville also made that bar, but based on earlier makes and misses, they were still behind the Molls, and would need to make the next bar to potentially overtake them.
The Molls both passed again at 15-4 1/2, and waited as Willis and Callahan tried to jump them, but neither were able to clear, and the twins had locked up first and second, but would now compete head to head for the win. The next bar was 15-6 1/2, and Amanda made it on her first try to take the lead, while Hana cleared it on her second chance. They both took the bar up again to 15-10 1/2, half an inch higher than the NCAA Outdoor Record that Hana made at Big Ten Outdoors. Amanda got the record on her third try, and Hana missed her final chance to clinch it. Amanda then took one attempt at an absolute collegiate record of 16-1 3/4, but chose to stop after one failed attempt.
Amanda has now gone from fifth-place at NCAA Outdoors as a freshman, to third last season, and now secures her first outdoor national title. Hana's runner-up gives her a gold, silver, and bronze at the outdoor meet in her three appearances. Hana now has the most career points scored by a UW woman at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with 24, surpassing the 21 points Aretha Hill scored in the discus from 1995-98.
Foerster, Orange, and Thomas Go to Work
The record-setting, gritty Husky career of Chloe Foerster came to a close today in the women's 1,500-meter semifinals. Foerster earned the eighth All-America honor of her career but fell short of reaching the final for a second time. She finished 10th in her heat in a time of 4:13.02 to get honorable mention All-America.
Making her NCAA Championships debut, junior javelin standout Saydi Orange overcame some possible nerves as she had two fouls to start, but in round three Orange connected on a good throw of 170-feet, 2-inches. It wouldn't quite be enough to get her into the final, as she finished 11th, just two places short of earning another three attempts. But it was the best finish in the women's javelin by a Husky since 2011 and earns her Second Team All-America.
The day closed for UW with the women's 10,000-meters final and Big Ten Champion Chloe Thomas. Thomas was at the back of the lead pack for the first half of the race, but slipped back a bit and lost contact with the front group. The senior crossed in 33:05.34 for 20th-place overall, earning honorable mention All-America. She will have another go at it on Saturday in the 5k final.

Foerster earned the eighth All-America honor of her career but fell short of reaching the final for a second time. She finished 10th in her heat in a time of 4:13.02 to get honorable mention All-America.

But it was the best finish in the women's javelin by a Husky since 2011 and earns her Second Team All-America.
The day closed for UW with the women's 10,000-meters final and Big Ten Champion Chloe Thomas. Thomas was at the back of the lead pack for the first half of the race, but slipped back a bit and lost contact with the front group. The senior crossed in 33:05.34 for 20th-place overall, earning honorable mention All-America. She will have another go at it on Saturday in the 5k final.
