Marion, Ind. — Kamron Neal at the 2025 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships, earning All-American honors with a second-place finish in the 200-meter dash.
Neal crossed the line in 20.77 seconds with a +2.7 m/s wind, scoring eight points for the Aggies and solidifying his place among the top sprinters in the nation.

"It's a great day to be an Aggie!" said head coach Cyrus Hall. "You can never complain when your guy gets on the podium, especially so close to the top. I know Kamron wanted the win, but only eight guys get to stand on that podium at the end of the year. The NAIA is so tough right now, and it is only getting tougher. He probably doesn't realize it yet, but he'll look back on this and be proud. I know I'm proud of him."

Hall added that Neal's success is helping build momentum for the OPSU program.

"It's fun for me to walk around a national meet and hear people talking about Panhandle State," Hall said. "We're trying to build this program, and Kamron has helped lay the foundation for future success."
With the season now complete, the Aggies are eyeing next year's return trip—with plans to bring a larger squad.

"It was a great year," Hall said. "We're looking forward to the challenge of trying to get some athletes back here next year—hopefully a few more bodies, including some of our ladies. But I think right now, most of us are just looking forward to a little rest and relaxation."
