ARLINGTON, Texas – Utah Valley’s Gabe Remy and Tarleton State’s Victoria Cameron were named the 2025 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Year on Tuesday. Utah Valley’s Alex Hartshorn and Tarleton State’s Prestina Ochonogor were selected as WAC Freshmen of the Year, and Utah Valley’s Scott Houle swept both men’s and women’s WAC Coach of the Year honors following a vote of the conference’s track & field coaches.

Remy, a sophomore sprinter, was a three-time gold medalist at the WAC Outdoor Championships meet after running PR times in the 100-meter (10.09) and 200-meter (20:41) dash finals and competing with the victorious 4x100-meter relay team that captured gold in 39.31 to lead Utah Valley to a team conference title. Remy will enter the NCAA West first round regional meet in College Station this week ranked 20th nationally in the 200 dash and 25th in the 100 dash as he attempts to qualify for the NCAA Division I Championships meet next month in Eugene, Oregon.

Cameron, a sophomore sprinter, was a triple winner at the WAC Outdoor Championships in Arlington, establishing a conference record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.05 and running a wind-aided 22.51 to capture the 200-meter dash final. Cameron also ran with the winning Tarleton State 4x100-meter relay team that crossed the finish line in 43.93. Cameron clocked the seventh-fastest 100 dash time and the eighth-fastest 200 dash time in DI this season on the eve of the NCAA West first round meet.

Hartshorn claimed his second freshman honor of the year from the conference after being named the top newcomer during the indoor season. Hartshorn was fourth in the 1500-meter run at the WAC Outdoor Championships, posting a time of 3:48.65 during prelim heats to qualify for the NCAA West first round meet. Hartshorn added a finals appearance in the 800-meter run (2:00.93) at the conference outdoor meet.

Ochonogor made an impactful debut for Tarleton State in her first outdoor season, winning the long jump at the WAC Outdoor Championships by twice posting a PR jump of 6.67m (21-10.75). Ochonogor added a PR time of 11.62 in the 100-meter dash final heat to finish seventh in the field. Ochonogor qualified for the NCAA West first round meet in College Station with the seventh-best long jump mark in NCAA DI.

Houle claimed his third career WAC Men’s Coach of the Year accolade and repeated as WAC Women’s Coach of the Year in the outdoor season after leading the Wolverines to their first sweep of the WAC Outdoor Championships.
