Claudina Diaz, a 2025 NCAA First Team Indoor All-American, ranks No. 13 in high jump after winning the event at the LSU Battle on the Bayou with a jump of 18.2m (5-11.5). Valentina Barrios rounds out the women, slotting in at No. 19 in javelin, recording a throw of 52.99m (173-10) at the team's most recent meet at the Virginia Challenge. She has won all three meets she's competed in this season.
Callan Saldutto is the highest-ranked individual from the men's team, standing 13th in the country in javelin. His season best of 72.52m, which ranks fifth in the Southeastern Conference, came at the Virginia Challenge and joins Barrios with three first-place finishes in three meets this year. In the hammer throw, Sam Innes ranks 16th in the country after a first-place finish at the LSU Battle on the Bayou with a personal-best result of 68.75m (225-7).
