USC, Texas A&M share NCAA track & field title after USF rallies to win 1,600 relay
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — South Florida ran a brilliant 1,600-meter relay to close the NCAA men's outdoor track and field championships Friday night, leaving Southern California and Texas A&M tied for the team title. The Trojans, who won the indoor title earlier this year but hadn't won an outdoor title in 49 years, and the Aggies, both finished with 41 points, one ahead of Arkansas. Advertisement That came after a late surge by the USF anchor to edge Texas A&M in the final race, winning in 3 minutes, 42 seconds. Arkansas was third with the Trojans a disappointing eighth to earn just one team point. The Aggies earned eight points in the relay — a win would have been worth 10 points — and the Razorbacks got six. Arkansas protested after the race that a USF runner hindered a Razorback but the protest was denied. If successful, Texas A&M would have won the title and Arkansas and USC would have tied for second. The women's title will be decided Saturday at Hayward Field on the Oregon campus. Sam Whitmarsh of Texas A&M, runner-up a year ago, beat indoor champion Matthew Erickson of Oregon to capture the 800 in 1:45.86, the second-fastest in school history. Advertisement Jordan Anthony of Arkansas, the NCAA champion in the indoor 60, added an outdoor title, winning the 100 in 10.07 from Lane 9. Ja'Kobe Tharp, who won the 60r hurdles at the indoor championships for Auburn, added the 110 hurdle title to his resume with a personal-best time of 13.05. Tharp ran the fifth-fastest time in NCAA history, only 0.07 off of Grant Holloway's record. Auburn also won the 400 relay in a time of 38.33. Samujel Ogazi of Alabama raced to a dominant win in the 400 with a time of 44.84, more than six-tenths faster than the runner-up. The sophomore, who made the Olympic finals in Paris, became the first Nigerian athlete to win the 400 NCAA title in 26 years. Advertisement James Corrigan of BYU, a 2024 Olympian, won the 3,000 steeplechase in 8:16.41, grabbing the lead at the last water jump. His time is the fourth fastest in college history. Nathan Green of Washington, the 2023 champion, won the 1,500 meters in 3:47.26 with the top 11 finishing within 0.68 of Green. Brian Masau on Oklahoma State added the outdoor title in the 5,000 to the indoor title he won earlier this year, finishing in 13:20.59. Ezekiel Nathaniel of Baylor lowered his Nigerian record to 47.49 in the 400 hurdles, the second-fastest time in the world this year. Carli Makarawu of Kentucky took the 400 in 19.84 seconds, a Zimbabwe national record, edging countryman Makanakaishe Charamba of Auburn, who ran 19.92. Advertisement Oklahoma's Ralford Mullings, who returned to the championship for the second time in his career, took the discus title by launching a meet-record and person-best 227 feet, 4 inches. Brandon Green Jr. and Floyd Whitaker gave Oklahoma a 1-2 finish in the triple jump with Green soaring 55-2 to win by more than a foot. Green led from the first jump and had it wrapped up after five rounds and then had his best leap to end it. Arvesta Troupe of Mississippi cleared 7-5 1/4 to win the high jump. ___ AP college sports:

See it: Giants' Malik Nabers 'shot out of a cannon' at Pro Bowl Games
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games began Thursday night in Orlando, and New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and nose tackle Dexter Lawrence participated in the skills competition. Nabers got things started for the NFC All-Stars, who are coached by retired Giants legend Eli Manning. He was first up in the Relay Race and was promptly "shot out of a cannon." Even if the AFC All-Stars hadn't fumbled their relay, Nabers got so far out ahead that there was no catching up. Things didn't go quite as well for Lawrence, who was participating in The Big Spike. He fell just short of the eventual winner, New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. "That's tragedy," Lawrence said. After the first night of competition, the NFC leads the AFC, 14-7. "They want the three-peat," Manning said, via "They've been talking about the Kansas City next week, the three-peat, really all eyes are on the Pro Bowl for the three-peat, NFC, right now." The Pro Bowl Games will wrap up on Sunday with four additional skills competitions and a flag football game. Nabers will compete in the latter while Lawrence is expected to join teammates Leonard Williams, Nick Bosa, Vita Vea, and Rashan Gary in the tug-of-war.
