BREAKING: Riley Chamberlain (BYU), Myles Hogan (Oregon) & Maddy Whitman (Northwestern) Receive TROs From Utah State Court, Eligible to Compete in XC
The Stride Report has confirmed that BYU's Riley Chamberlain, Oregon's Myles Hogan and Northwestern's Maddy Whitman have received 14-day Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) from the state court level in Utah. All three athletes will be eligible to compete at the NCAA XC Regional Championships and the NCAA XC Championships should they choose to do so.
Eligibility beyond the 14-day window is not yet clear nor finalized.
Last week, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a July-time decision which initially granted high school Class of 2022 athletes an extra year of eligibility before a "stay" was put in place in August. Now, without a TRO, high school Class of 2022 athletes will not be eligible for another year of competition.
However, public legal records obtained directly from the Utah State Courts Xchange System, "an online public repository providing access to case dockets, civil/criminal records, and judge/attorney information sourced directly from the CORIS database," show that Chamberlain, Hogan and Whitman have each received 14-day TROs from the state court level.
Below are screenshots of the legal documents which cite the granting of a TRO.
Chamberlain was the 4th place finisher at last year's NCAA XC Championships. She went on to run 14:58 for 5000 meters on the indoor oval before breaking the NCAA record in the mile with a blistering 4:20.61 mark. Her introduction back into BYU's lineup will be beyond massive for the Cougars as they chase a national team title.
Hogan, meanwhile, is a former Princeton runner who only recently joined the Oregon men as a graduate transfer. The newest Duck ace has run times of 3:38 (1500), 7:53 (3k) and 13:19 (5k), making multiple appearances on the national stage in the latter event.
Hogan entered this season listed in the top-40 of The Stride Report preseason individual rankings. His addition into the Ducks' lineup will be monumental for a group that has tons of depth, but would certainly welcome extra firepower as they chase the podium and even a national title.
Whitman is a key cross country scorer who has run 16:03 (5k) and 33:58 (10k) on the track. Last fall, the Northwestern veteran was 17th at the BIG 10 XC Championships and 134th at the NCAA XC Championships. Her return to competition will likely give a scoring boost to a Wildcat lineup that has been strong this fall, but not quite as potent as what we saw from them in 2025.
Chamberlain, Hogan and Whitman now join BYU's Taylor Rohatinsky, as well as Boise State's Kaiya Robertson, Nanette Novak, Landon Helms (indoor track only) and Jayda Bushay (indoor track only) as NCAA athletes who recently received TROs from the state court levels.
