Raud-Gumiel won the heptathlon and was the runner-up in the 100m hurdles
LONG BEACH, Calif.— Long Beach State's Claudine Raud-Gumiel was selected Co-Field Athlete of the Meet at the 2025 Big West Track and Field Championships on May 22. Raud-Gumiel shares the award as voted upon by the league's 11 coaches with Hawai'i's Lilan Turban.
The graduate student broke the Long Beach State record in the heptathlon to win the event at the Big West Championships. Raud-Gumiel's 5,698 points broke the previous school mark of 5,671, which Riley Hooks set in 2017 when she became the last Long Beach State entry to win the Big West heptathlon in 2017.
In the heptathlon, she won the 100m hurdles with the third fastest time in school history, 13.22. She tied with Hawai'i's Catherine Touchete in the high jump as she reset her career-best, clearing 5-7 3/4. She was fourth in the shot put, posting a career-best toss of 35-11 1/2. Raud-Gumiel scored 4-for-4 in new career-bests, running 24.57 to finish second in the 200m.
She began day two of the heptathlon by winning the long jump with a leap of 19-5 1/2. She was eighth in the javelin (107-0). Heading into the final event, the 800m, Raud-Gumiel held a 99-point lead over UC Irvine's Jolie Robinson and a 162-point advantage over teammate Jenelle Hurley. She clinched the title by running a season-best 2:17.67 to finish third for 855 points. Robinson was fifth (2:23.22), with Hurley coming in seventh in a career best 2:26.01.
Her Big West title is her second consecutive conference heptathlon championship. Raud-Gumiel won the heptathlon in 2024 for ULM at the Sun Belt Championships. She currently sits in 16th nationally in the heptathlon and has likely clinched a berth into the June 11-14 NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships.
With the teams moving into the Big West Championships on May 16-17, Raud-Gumiel was the runner-up to teammate Rahni Turner in the 100m hurdles, running 13.34. She was fourth in the high jump, going 5-6. Raud-Gumiel just missed scoring in the long jump as she went 19-5 1/4 to place ninth.
