William Zegarski will toe the line in the men's 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Wednesday night.
 
The race, which features 24 runners in Eugene, Ore., is set to conclude the first night of the national championships with the gun scheduled for 10:56 p.m. (Eastern). 
 
At the NCAA East First Round in Lexington, Ky., he placed sixth out of 48 runners in the men's 10,000 meters with a time of 28:52.50 to earn a spot in the finals in Eugene. The top 12 runners from the east region will join the top 12 finishers from the west region to make up the 24-athlete field competing for an NCAA title.  
 
Zegarski extends Butler's streak to six consecutive years of having representation at the NCAA Championships in the 10K. He finished 16th in the 10,000 meters in 2025, earning Second-Team All-American honors. 
 
The Maineville, Ohio native will look to cap off his incredible year after winning the 10K at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships and finishing among the Top 100 at the NCAA Cross Country Championships last fall.
 
Fans can watch the action from Eugene on ESPN and ESPN2 as well as the ESPN app.
