For the third straight NCAA championship, a Washington Husky won the men’s 1500/mile. And, just like last year’s outdoor championship and this year’s indoor championship, tonight’s winner was a first-time champion.
Robinson became the first man to sweep the 5k/10k at NCAAs since Edward Cheserek in 2016.
The battle between Rooks and Montana State's Duncan Hamilton turned into no contest over the last lap. *Video
Lamecha Girma capped the Paris Diamond League with an impressive 7:52.11 world record on an night that saw 3 world records (see below). We break that down and the other non world record highlights including Sydney McLaughlin-Lavrone getting beat at 400, Keely Hodgkinson getting a PB and Noah Lyles a big 100 win.
Faith Kipyegon is no longer just a legendary 1500m runner, now she's the 5000m world record holder.
Jakob's run is one of the greatest men's times on the books as he obliterated Daniel Komen's world record.
The unheralded Utah Valley runner, who had never scored at NCAAs before and had her scholarship stripped at Arizona when she said she was scared to compete during Covid-19, made it look easy the final 3 laps.
Rose looked fantastic but Tuohy may have some competition in the 1500 final as Sophie O'Sullivan & Billah Jepkirui impressed.
Stanford's Ky Robinson used a sick 1:56 final 800 to lead a 1-2 finish in the 10k -- Stanford's fourth in the last 26 years. *Race video
Colin Sahlman's freshman campaign has come to an end and there was some drama in the men's 800.
18-year-old sensation Niels Laros who if American would almost half the 800 and 5k records joins us as our guest.
Only one woman has ever done the 1500/5000 double at NCAAs, and never on the same day. Can Tuohy do it to cap an epic 2023 season?
We can't wait for the 800 final.
Could Henry Rono's meet record go down? Can Jacobs repeat?
Washington's Joe Waskom & Luke Houser have won NCAA titles but is Nathan Green the Husky with the best chance to win in Austin?

Faither Kipyegon became the first woman under 3:50 for 1500m, Shawnti Jackson went super-fast, so did Addy Wiley, Noah Lyles met Usain Bolt and 3 Americans went sub 12:57 and 4 high schoolers sub 4 and we barely mention them.
Wiley, who shocked the track world by last summer by deciding to attend an NAIA school instead of Colorado, shocked a field of professionals thanks to a 61.33 last lap. Full race video embedded.
She beat a field of pros (including last year's NCAA champ Melissa Jefferson) to break Briana Williams' 10.94 prep record from 2019.
Hocker's 55.14 final 400 was more than a second better than everyone else as he went from 12th to 2nd on the last lap.
(link fixed) Mondo Duplantis set a PV meet record at 6.11m (he missed his three attempts at a new WR of 6.23m) and Femke Bol won the 400m in 50.11. Grant Holloway won the 110H in 13.03 over Devon Allen (13.12) and Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh the HJ in 2.00m.
Less than six weeks after winning the London Marathon, Hassan closed in 60.86 to put almost 10 seconds on Kenya's World XC 4th placer Grace Loibach Nawowuna over the final lap.
High school record holder Rudy Chapa had actually sent Gorze his high school singlet from 1976 to wear while he attempted the record, but Gorze fell well short of Chapa's 28:32.7. Gorze was on pace through halfway, but suffered through a coughing fit which saw him run an 82-second lap. He finished 9th in the race won by On Running's Athanas Kioko in 27:29. In other action, Colleen Quigley (9:32) and US Army's Bernie Keter (8:22) won the steeplechases and Weynshet Ansa Weldestadisk (32:40) won the women's 10,000m.

MB Talk:
Lightfoot had only broken the six meter barrier once in his career, but had a big PB here to break Sam Kendricks' 6.06m American record from 2019. Lightfoot also moves to #3 on the world all-time list behind Mondo Duplantis and Sergey Bubka.
For the first time ever, four US high schoolers broke four in the same race and the first black US high schooler has now gone sub-4. Watch the race above.
Chemusto began 2023 with a 4:14 1500m pb but is down to 4:01 after using a 59.8 last lap to win in Nairobi on May 13.
Starting at the 2023 Worlds, the 1500, 5k, and steeple will only use automatic qualifiers. We love the change but wish they'd gone farther and included the 800.
When track and field fans walk into a bar or go on a run, doping is often the topic of conversation. With that in mind, we want your thoughts on which current track and field stars you think are clean and which you think are dirty.
