Auburn grabbed a pair of titles after all-time performances in the 110 hurdles and 100 meters.
First, the most recent world record holder Ja’Kobe Tharp ran 12.90 in the fastest 110 meter hurdle race in collegiate history. Tharp beat Texas’ Kendrick Smallwood who ran 12.95. Both times would’ve been faster than the collegiate record entering the weekend that was held by Grant Holloway. Click or tap here for complete results from the 110 hurdles final

One race later, Kayinsola Ajayi put on a show in the men’s 100 meters, finishing in 9.72 (+2.2). While the wind was 0.2 over the allowable, it’s the second-fastest time all-conditions in collegiate history.

The win gives Ajayi a short-sprint sweep after previously winning the 60 meters indoors. What a race for the Auburn star, continuing his streak of sub-10 performances. Click or tap here for complete results from the 100 meter final.

Another NCAA record was shattered later in the day by Washington’s Amanda Moll. The Huskie cleared 4.84 meters to set a new collegiate record and clinch the 2026 title over her sister, Hana Moll – the indoor champion of the event.
Moll’s performance marks the highest outdoor clearance in the world this year.

Barton’s 5.41m clearance in the pole vault and decisive 4:32.6 finish in the 1500 meters sealed the deal. He becomes the first Cougar to claim the title since 1981.

Nebraska still holds the lead over all teams with 28 total points after seven events. Kansas State overcame Oregon for the second spot with 20 points.
Here are the top 10 standings:
Washington’s Amanda Moll reclaimed her spot atop the outdoor pole vault collegiate record books. Moll cleared 4.84 meters to set a collegiate record and win the 2026 title. Amanda retook the record from her sister Hana, who finished in second place at 4.74m.
Funny enough, at last year’s championships, Amanda entered owning the collegiate record before Hana won the title with a collegiate record of her own. The tables turned in 2026 as the sisters continue to stand as the NCAA’s all-time best. Click or tap here for the complete pole vault results.
IT RUNS IN THE MOLL FAMILY 🏆

We might’ve just seen the biggest upset of this year’s championships after Iowa State’s Mercyline Kirwa used a fantastic kick to win the women’s 10,000 meters. Kirwa closed in 1:01.84 over the final 400 meters, outpacing BYU’s Jane Hedengren and New Mexico’s Pamela Kosgei.
Kirwa beat the 10K collegiate record holder and last year’s 10K champion with a final finish of 31:54.88. Click or tap here for complete results from the 10K.
The final round of the women’s javelin saw THREE 60 meter throws, all of which would’ve been good enough to win entering the round. Yet, only one could prevail and it was Rice’s McKyla Van Der Westhuizen with a winning 60.87m throw.
The heave is Van Der Westhuizen’s personal-best, and what a time it was for a new career mark. She’s Rice’s first NCAA champion since Jason Colwick swept the men’s pole vault in 2009 and the first women’s champion since Allison Beckford won 2002’s indoor 400 meters.

Nebraska’s Axelina Johansson threw the shot put the third-furthest in NCAA history to win this year’s shot put title. Her 19.92 meter shot put trails only Oregon’s Jaida Ross and herself on the all-time charts.
Johansson’s throw earned her a season sweep in the shot put and her fourth career shot put title overall. Her new list of titles are: 2026 outdoor, 2026 indoor, 2025 indoor and 2023 outdoor. Click or tap here for complete results from the shot put.
