🏃🏿‍♀️ EUGENE Ore. - San Diego State junior Shaquena Foote just just just missed the finals of the 400-meters at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field. Six hundredths of a second — less time than it takes to blink your eye (true — look it up!) — was the difference between Foote’s semi-final time and that of the last qualifier for the final, Florida State’s Kaelyaah Liburd.

Foote set the SDSU and Mountain West record in May with a time of 50.95 seconds. How fast is Foote’s record time? Consider this – it is faster than two-time 400-meter Olympic gold medalist Monique Henderson’s CIF-San Diego record time of 51.31 — still standing after 25 years. So, yes, Foote is one of THE fastest in the nation. Already can’t wait for next year! Congratulations, Shaquena, on the extraordinary season!
