Oklahoma junior Agur Dwol was named SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year, excelling in the triple jump with a conference title and top national ranking.

University of Oklahoma junior Agur Dwol has been named the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year, a testament to her exceptional performances throughout the 2025 outdoor track and field season. The prestigious award, voted on by the league’s 17 head coaches, recognizes Dwol’s unparalleled dominance, particularly in the triple jump, where she has established herself as a national and international force.

Dwol’s selection marks a significant achievement for the Oklahoma track and field program, representing their second SEC honor of the season. This recognition underscores the incredible trajectory of a student-athlete who has consistently pushed the boundaries of her event, captivating audiences with her power, precision, and unwavering competitive spirit.

A Season of Unmatched Excellence

The 2025 outdoor season has been nothing short of a triumph for Agur Dwol. Her journey to SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year has been paved with an unbroken string of victories, save for a narrow runner-up finish at the SEC Indoor Championships. This remarkable consistency across both indoor and outdoor campaigns highlights her dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Dwol’s crowning achievement of the outdoor season came at the SEC Outdoor Championships, where she clinched the conference triple jump title with an astounding mark of 14.02m (46’0.00″). This monumental leap not only secured her First Team All-SEC honors but also etched her name into the collegiate record books, placing her at No. 28 all-time in NCAA collegiate history in all-conditions marks. Beyond the conference stage, this performance currently ranks her No. 1 in both the NCAA and the SEC for the triple jump, and an impressive 21st in the world.

Her performances have not been limited to wind-aided jumps either. At the Michael Johnson Invitational on May 3, Dwol recorded a wind-legal triple jump of 13.87m (45’6.00″), a mark that stands as the second-best in OU outdoor history. This demonstrates her ability to perform at an elite level under various conditions, a crucial attribute for a top-tier athlete.

From Indoor Champion to Outdoor Dominator

Dwol’s outdoor success builds directly upon an equally impressive indoor season. In March, she was crowned the NCAA indoor triple jump champion, a historic victory that made her the University of Oklahoma’s first national title winner in the event. This accomplishment placed her among an elite group of only six Oklahoma women to win a championship on the NCAA indoor stage and marked OU’s first indoor gold medal in 12 years.

Her seamless transition from indoor to outdoor supremacy speaks volumes about her training regimen, mental fortitude, and innate talent. It’s a rare feat to maintain such a high level of performance across multiple seasons, and Dwol has done so with remarkable consistency.

The Athlete Behind the Achievements

Agur Dwol’s journey in track and field has been marked by a steadfast commitment to overcoming challenges and continually improving. Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Dwol’s athletic prowess was evident early on. In June 2021, despite battling hip and quad injuries, she managed a triple jump of 40 feet 9 inches, securing the 4A State title for both triple jump and long jump. While competing with the Mile High Track Club, she shattered records with a 42 feet ¾ inch triple jump, the best in Colorado Girls’ track and field history at the time and the longest nationally in 2022.

Her high school career culminated in being named the 2021-22 Gatorade Colorado Girls Track & Field Player of the Year. She won the triple jump at the Class 4A state meet with a state-record 42 feet, 5.5 inches, ranking as the nation’s No. 2 performance among girls prep competitors in 2022. Additionally, she won the long jump with a leap of 20-1.75 and ran the lead leg on Mullen’s victorious 4×200-meter relay.

Beyond her athletic achievements, Dwol has also demonstrated a commitment to her community, organizing blood-donation drives as a member of her high school’s sports medicine team. Her high school coach, Darius Reed, once noted her relatively short experience in track and field, suggesting her ceiling was “very high,” a prophecy that has certainly come to fruition.

Looking Ahead: NCAA Outdoor Championships

With the SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year title now secured, Agur Dwol sets her sights on the ultimate collegiate prize: the NCAA Outdoor Championships. She will make her first appearance at this prestigious event in the triple jump, aiming to add an outdoor national title to her already impressive resume. The competition, taking place in Oregon, will undoubtedly be fierce, but Dwol’s track record of success and her current No. 1 NCAA ranking in the triple jump position her as a strong contender.

The Oklahoma women’s triple jump group, buoyed by Dwol’s leadership and exceptional performances, has also garnered national attention. Since May 6, the team has ranked No. 2 in the nation per USTFCCCA’s #EventSquad standings, a testament to the collective strength and depth of the Sooners’ jumping program.

Impact and Legacy

Agur Dwol’s recognition as SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year is more than just an individual accolade; it’s a testament to her unwavering dedication, relentless pursuit of excellence, and the profound impact she has had on her team and the wider collegiate track and field landscape. Her performances have not only brought glory to the University of Oklahoma but have also served as an inspiration to aspiring athletes.

As she prepares for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the collegiate track and field world will be watching closely.
