Men's Starting Lists I Women's Starting Lists

Three Bulldogs are ready to toe the line in Austin, Texas at the 2023 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The event begins Wednesday and runs through Saturday. 

The championships have the potential to feature Butler student-athletes in all four days of competition. Each event will have 24 student-athletes (with half qualifying from the East First Round in Jacksonville, Fla., and 12 coming from the West First Round in Sacramento) competing at the Mike A. Myers Stadium and Soccer Field in Austin. The men will run on Wednesday and Friday, while the women will compete Thursday and Saturday.

ESPN+ will stream a majority of the action from Austin with links available on ButlerSports.com. The competition will also be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks. 

Wednesday
Barry Keane is set to make his return to the championships for the 10,000 meters. The four-time BIG EAST champion in the 10K advanced to the finals after securing second in the NCAA Division I East Regional at 28:57.59. 

Last season, Keane earned second-team All-American honors by finishing ninth at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Keane will build on last year's performance on Wednesday night at 10:08 p.m. ET. 

Thursday
Angelina Ellis will look to cap off her stellar season in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Despite not earning one of the nine automatic qualifying bids at the NCAA East First Round in Jacksonville, Ellis's mark of 9:59.53 was the next fastest time, allowing her to advance to the national meet. 

The BIG EAST Outdoor Track and Field Women's Athlete of the Year will make her second appearance at the national meet after reaching the championships at Eugene, Ore. in 2021. 

Ellis is scheduled to start in the first of two semifinal heats Thursday at 9:02 p.m. ET. The top five runners in each heat will automatically advance along with the next two fastest times to the finals on Saturday night beginning at 9:24 p.m. ET. 

Friday
Simon Bedard will compete in the NCAA Championships for the first time in his collegiate career. The French native earned an automatic qualifying bid in the 5,000 meters at the East First Round after placing fifth in his heat at 13:54.07. Bedard will run Friday night at 10:55 p.m. ET.
