A&M Appeal Denied Men's 4 x 100m Final - A&M Gets DQed! In a race featuring some of the world's fastest 100m runners, the men's 4 x 100m was a thrilling event that came down to the final meters. The University of Florida team of Dennis Martin, Terrell Wilks, Calvin Smith and anchor Jeremy Hall took home the title over Trindon Holliday-anchored LSU, Jacoby Ford-anchored Clemson and the Texas A&M Aggie team striving for maximum points. In the end it went Florida, LSU, Texas A&M then Clemson. Or did it? When the results were eventually posted, Texas A&M's worst nightmare came true as they were knocked out of the scoring with a zone foul. A&M came in with the best performance in the country, but left empty-handed in the 400m relay, costing them big, big points for the team competition. In a way, their DQ evens out the Matt Centrowitz injury to Oregon in the 1,500m. Clemson had defeated Florida handily at the East Regional. Event 11 Men 4x100 Meter Relay

Men's 400m Hurdles Final Washington State's Jeshua Anderson won the event in a stunning 48.46. The reigning champion and only a sophomore, Anderson beat South Carolina's sophomore Johnny Dutch and Georgia senior Justin Gaymon, who was DQed last year. Those three guys were way ahead of the rest of the field, and we had the feeling that we were watching 3 future world medallists. Gaymon and Dutch were 4th and 5th in the Olympic trials last year and the three guys that beat them swept the Beijing medals. Gaymon ran 48.46 at the OTs last year and 48.42 was gold medallist Angelo Taylor. So the 400 hurdles were truly world class. Event 10 Men 400 Meter Hurdles

Alexandria Anderson (1:12) Women's 100m Final Texas senior Alexandria Anderson overcame a terrible start as she moved from 7th to first in the final 70m, running away with her 18th All-American certificate for the Longhorns but only her first individual title in 11.20. In the semi-finals, Anderson ran 11.02, putting her third in the world this year. Texas A&M finished 4th and 5th as their stars Porscha Lucas and Gabby Mayo came through for 9 team points, pulling the Aggies up to 19 while Oregon has 21 and Texas, FSU and Arizona State have 20 at this point.

Trindon Holliday (1:59) Men's 100m Final LSU's Trindon Holliday took the title in 10.00, crushing the field and matching Usain Bolt's time this weekend from Toronto. Holliday didn't have to contend with Clemson's Jacoby Ford for the whole race as Ford pulled up midway through and limped home for 9th and last place. After facing disappointment with his team's disqualification in the 4 x 100m, Texas A&M's Gerald Phiri rebounded for third place, upping Texas A&M to a team total of 13 points, while Holliday pushed LSU into the team lead with 30 points. USC junior Ahmad Rashad ran a super race to run himself into the school's top 5 all-time. What did he run? 10.10! That's a pretty ridiculous all-time top 5. We've got interviews with Ahmad and his super happy dad below. Last year, LSU's Richard Thompson took home the 100m title, and went on to earn the silver medal at the Olympic Games. We'll see how Holliday fares in the summer season.

Men's 110 Hurdles Semifinals Ronnie Ash, the indoor 60m hurdles champion, won his semifinal in big fashion, blasting a 13.46. In the second heat, South Carolina's Jason Richardson won in 13.45. Men's 400m Semifinals Semi-final 1: Jonathan Borlee of Florida State ran a beautiful 45.25 race, easing up in the last 40m as he was well clear of Calvin Smith, who was doubling back from the 4 x 100m, and Mississippi State's Mullings. Semi-final 2: Michael Bingham of Wake Forest won another fast race in 45.28 while the bigger story might be the pull-up of Texas Tech's Gil Roberts, one of the best 400m runners in the country and an integral part of Tech's 4 x 400m team. Women's 400m Semifinals Semi-final 1: Leslie Cole of Oklahoma took the first heat in 52.19. Semi-final 2: Favorite Jessica Beard of Texas A&M found out she may have a tough battle on her hands in the final as Hampton's Francena McCorory won the heat in a quick 51.74 over Beard's 51.76. Women's 400m Hurdles Final UCLA's Nicole Leach ran a fantastic final to take the NCAA championship over Ti'erra Brown and Dalilah Muhammad in a fast, seasonal best 55.39.
