Just one year removed from when Houston had four women participate in the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, none will be making the trip this year to Eugene, Ore.

Last season, UH had representatives in four NCAA Outdoor Championships events: freshman Michaela Mouton in the women’s 400 meters behind a school record of 50.96; graduate Kelly-Ann Beckford in the women’s 800 meters; graduate Sydni Townsend in the women’s 400-meter hurdles and senior Iman Babineaux, who competed alongside Mouton, Beckford and Townsend in the women’s 4×400-meter relay.

Saturday also marked the end of a six-year run, dating back to 2018, in which Houston had at least one woman compete in the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Despite their season-best time of 44.21 in the women’s 4×100-meter relay this year, Houston fell short by four spots.

Junior Kaycee McCoy competed in the women’s 100-meter hurdles, recording a personal-best time of 13.20 seconds. Finishing in 15th place, McCoy was just .06 seconds away from securing a top-12 position and qualifying for the national championships.

Houston’s third and final event on Saturday showcased freshman Invida Maurina, who placed 17th in the 800 meters with a time of 2:05.87.

Houston men’s basketball junior guard Milos Uzan plans to withdraw from the NBA draft and return for his senior campaign, according to his agent Aman Dhesi of PNW Sports.

Uzan, who emerged as one of the top guards in college basketball this past 2024-25 season, declared for the NBA draft on April 13, while maintaining his college eligibility.

“He went through the process, got his feedback and then made a decision. I think it’s pretty simple,” coach Kelvin Sampson said.

With Uzan returning, junior guard Pop Isaacs decommitted from UH and will transfer to Texas A&M, according to his agency PNW Sports.

“I was looking forward to working with him,” Sampson said. “But you know, with Milos coming back that changed some things, and I think it worked out for everybody.”

Uzan rejoins a Houston team coming off its fourth-ever national championship appearance, back-to-back Big 12 conference titles, a program-record 35 wins and what could be the preseason No. 1 team in college basketball.

After spending two seasons in Oklahoma, Uzan transferred to Houston, where he saw career-bests in points per game (11.4), 3-point percentage (43%), free throw percentage (78.3%) and assist-to-turnover ratio (3.0).

Houston will now return three starters from last season’s national title runner-up in Uzan, sophomore forward Joseph Tugler and redshirt junior guard Emanuel Sharp.
