The 2025 NCAA Track and Field Championships have featured some incredible races, standout performances, and rising stars. One such name is JaMeesia Ford. The 20-year-old track and field athlete has set fire to the track in Eugene in the few days she has run in the NCAA championships. On June 12, she donned the sprint suit and took her place on the track to get her name etched in the history books. She clocked a time of 10.87 (+1.6) in the 100 meters – not only her personal best but also the 6th fastest time in collegiate history. Now imagine carrying such form to the NCAATF 100 metres final. Would you even count someone else for the win? Well, you should.
The NCAATF 100 meters final, perhaps, witnessed the biggest upset of the 2025 NCAA track and field championships as JaMeesia Ford finished second. There was a very, very tight competition between her and USC’s Samirah Moody. To say that one of them got the better of another would be an overstatement because, though lanes apart, metaphorically speaking, Moody might have felt Ford’s breath on her shoulder. Moody clocked a time of 11.14 (.136) and Ford came second in 11.14 (.139). A minute difference of a three-thousandth of a second.
That finish for the #NCAATF 100m title!
11.14 (.136) – Samirah Moody (USC)
11.14 (.139) – JaMeesia Ford (South Carolina)
11.19 (.183) – Tima Godbless (LSU)
11.19 (.189) – Anthaya Charlton (Florida)pic.twitter.com/8R6SnCeVIB
