The South Carolina Gamecocks will be well-represented during the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championship, which will begin on Wednesday, June 10. The Gamecocks are sending a total of 14 athletes to the biggest college event on the track, including 12 of whom are on the women's side. South Carolina third-year head coach Tim Hall has his team flying after a huge outing during the East Regionals.
Over the weekend, the Gamecock women put on a display, starting with 4x100m relay. The team consisting of Alexis Brown, Cynteria James, Kymora-Lee Williams and JaMeesia Ford ran a 42.32, which was both a new program record and facility record, as well as the best time in the East Region.
