The Oregon Ducks won every distance event they competed in, and Cole Hocker was the star, but it was a team effors as they got help from Micah Williams to dominate NCAA Indoors.
Talk about a masterclass performance. 19-year old Cole Hocker of Oregon controlled the NCAA mile from the front and closed things off with a 53.84 final 400.
BYU women's coach Diljeet Taylor has built a national power since arriving in 2016 and now her squad has won its first NCAA title. Also earning NCAA title #1 was Auburn's Joyce Kimeli in the 5000 as Arkansas shockingly failed to score.
Wesley Kiptoo and the Oregon men lived up to their favorite status as both earned wins in championships record time. While LSU's JuVaughn Harrison is now the greatest HJ/LJ man in history - the only man to clear 2.30 in the high jump and surpass 8.40 in the long jump, and he did it on the same day.
