Texas Tech, led by outstanding depth and the exploits of Divine (intervention) Oduduru, won the 2019 Division I NCAA Championship title tonight in Austin, Texas, with 60 points to Florida's 50 and Houston's 40. 

Check out the full recap below to see how it all went down!

TRACK EVENTS

Men's 4x100m Relay | 7:32 p.m. 

Florida set the track on fire in the very first event final today by DECIMATING the NCAA 4x100m relay record with the first-ever sub-38 performance by a collegiate squad.

The Gators ran a mind-blowing 37.97 to crush the record set last year by Houston, 38.17, at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The time turned in by Raymond Ekevwo, Hakim Sani Brown, Grant Holloway, and Ryan Clark, in that order, also counts as the 19th-fastest performance of all time.

The Gators weren't the only program to blow by the former record—Florida State also finished under the mark in 38.08.

Men's 1500m | 7:41 p.m.

Oliver Hoare, 2018's 1500m champion from Wisconsin, foreshadowed this outcome at the West Preliminary Round when he spoke about having a target on his back this year and mentioned Yared Nuguse as a dangerous opponent. 

Today, the Notre Dame sophomore, known best for his DMR anchor heroics at the past two NCAA Indoor Championships, will now be primarily recognized for his individual talent as the reigning outdoor 1500m champion.

Reading off his usual script, Nuguse stayed under the radar but in contention until the final lap, when he ripped a 54.22-second final lap to bury the field, including the leader Justine Kiprotich of Michigan State, who warned us at the Big Ten Championships, "I'm back," after dispatching Hoare for the conference 1500m title. Kiprotich ran a faster last lap, 54.06, but Nuguse timed it better, and caught him right at the line. 

In doing so, the pride of the Fighting Irish became Notre Dame's first individual champion since 1926.

WHAT A FINISH!!!!!

Men's 3000m Steeplechase | 7:54 p.m.

If you fall, get back up.

Never, ever give up.

... and all the other inspirational turns of phrase.

Stanford senior Steven Fahy, undeterred by a hard fall over the final barrier, scrambled back to mount a furious charge to the finish line and claim his first-ever NCAA title—and the first-ever men's steeplechase title for Stanford.

Steven Fahy shows us exactly why you NEVER give up after taking a fall????????

Men's 110m Hurdles | 8:12 p.m.

IT'S GRANT HOLLOWAY'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT.

Today, with the entire audience at the Mike A. Myers Stadium on their feet, the Florida junior checked off the final to-do on his collegiate exit list by going fully Super Saiyan on the NCAA 110m hurdles record in 12.98—the only sub-13 mark ever by a collegiate athlete, the world lead, and probably a ton of other superlatives that I need a minute to look up (please check back in a few minutes).

Holloway broke one of the oldest NCAA records in the book—Renaldo Nehemiah's 13.00 hadn't been touched since 1979. 

Although Holloway's performance was sensational, I'd be remiss not to mention that runner-up Daniel Roberts of Kentucky tied Nehemiah's former record in 13-flat. He faltered over the final two hurdles as Holloway maintained his composure and got the edge he needed to secure the win and the record.

Words simply do not suffice. Watch this thing of beauty right here:

An absolute BEAST??????

Holloway's record arrived on the heels of his first collegiate record-breaking performance of the day in the 4x100m relay less than an hour prior. 

Men's 100m | 8:22 p.m.

THEY DON'T CALL HIM DIVINE FOR NOTHIN'!

Texas Tech junior Divine Oduduru tore up the track on his way to the second-fastest collegiate 100m mark in history: 9.86! That's tied for the current world lead alongside Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman, becomes third all-time on the African 100m list, per stat guru Jon Mulkeen, and improves greatly on his former PR of 9.94.

Oduduru helped pull two others to sub-10 times—Oregon's Cravon Gillespie in 9.93 and Florida's Hakim Sani Brown in 9.97, a Japanese record—to mark the first final in NCAA Championship history that included three sub-10 finishes.

DIVINE. ODUDURU.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Nah. We can’t do that.

He just ran 9️⃣.8️⃣6️⃣ ?

Go ahead & watch the @TexasTechTF star clock the SECOND FASTEST MARK IN COLLEGIATE HISTORY!#NCAATF pic.twitter.com/9l9kkOGZH8

Men's 400m | 8:32 p.m.

COOGS! 

Houston's Kahmari Montgomery ate up NCAA leader Trevor Stewart's lead on the homestretch, finally gaining on him until they were stride-for-stride within the final 15 meters. Stewart seemed unable to respond as Montgomery furiously pumped his arms for the finish line and stomped out the North Carolina A&T senior's chances at victory.

Montgomery ran a PR 44.23 in order to clinch the win (absolutely necessary as Stewart PR'd as well in 44.25), which makes him the eighth-fastest performer in collegiate history and the first-ever Cougar to grace the top of the podium.

Those are 10 essential points for the Cougars, whose team title hopes are still alive and well 13 events into the meet despite Obi Igbokwe's DQ—I'll update this article as soon as I learn more about what happened there.

How bad do you want that ?

Men's 800m | 8:44 p.m.

Bryce "All I Do Is Win" Hoppel of Kansas continued to lay waste to his track adversaries today by dusting Texas A&M junior Devin Dixon, the NCAA leader, to claim the NCAA 800m title and extend his win streak to 19-0—undefeated indoors and outdoors. Unbelievable.

In doing so, he ran 1:44.41, the fifth-fastest collegiate performance ever. On Thursday, after witnessing his 1:45.25 PR, I became convinced he only raced as fast as he needed to in order to win, and that he was 1:44 capable... now I'm thinking he might be even faster.

Ain’t nobody gonna catch that man!

Men's 400m Hurdles | 8:57 p.m.

Although South Carolina's Quincy Hall, the NCAA leader, was almost felled by his own poor hurdling form, his speed ultimately won out—as it usually does for the 44-capable open 400m sprinter. 

And that's too bad for Norman Grimes of Texas Tech, because he ran a technically and strategically superb race and very nearly pulled off the upset. He just didn't have the wheels to contend with Hall, who sloppily managed the final hurdle, but blasted past Grimes in the final 60 meters with his superior speed. Hall's open 400m PR is 44.53.

That. SPEED.

Men's 200m | 9:07 p.m.

DIVINE INTERVENTION ONCE AGAIN. 

100-200 SWEEP SWEEP.

The pride of Texas Tech and Nigeria just gobbled up 10 more points for the Red Raiders with an absolutely INSANE 19.73 finish—a meet record, facility record, another PR, and No. 3 in the world right now behind Noah Lyles (19.72) and Michael Norman (19.70).

Men's 5000m | 9:25 p.m.

Wisconsin's Morgan McDonald, the indoor 5000m champion and 2019 cross country champion, headlines this group with the best resume and racing pedigree—the man can kick, grind and handle pacing games. He's also the most experienced. 

But that doesn't mean he's infallible—he'll have company from Stanford's Grant Fisher, who won the 2017 title and finished third last year; Alabama's Gilbert Kigen; and, new to this group, NAU's Geordie Beamish, this year's indoor mile champion. He had to have thrown a wrench into whatever race plans McDonald and Fisher had in mind prior to his qualification out of the West Preliminary Round.

Starting off at 64 pace, the order went McDonald, Fisher, NAU's Brodey Hasty, UCLA's Robert Brandt, and the rest of the field packed closely together. Around 2600m, McDonald took the pace down from 70s to 67s. Through 3000m, McDonald led the group in 8:45, and the order remained unchanged. 

13 minutes in with about 800m to go, Clayton Young of BYU, the 10K champion, made a move, but then Fisher pushed harder and took the lead! McDonald slingshotted around the curve with 400m to go to challenge him, and stayed on his outside all the way until the final turn! McDonald had to run further, but it didn't matter! He overtook Fisher on the homestretch!

MCDONALD. FOR. THE. WIN. 

HE CLOSED IN 52.9.

ON WISCONSIN!

That's his fourth NCAA title this academic year, in addition to the NCAA cross country title, the indoor 3K title, and the indoor 5K title. He's in rare company—only two other athletes, Oregon's Edward Cheserek and Galen Rupp, have accomplished the feat.

Very clear that there was no other option for Morgan McDonald other than 1st place??

Men's 4x400m Relay | 9:51 p.m.

Led by the victorious Texas A&M in 2:59.05, the second-fastest mark in collegiate history (!), Florida also went sub-3:00 tonight as Grant Holloway continued his miraculous night with a 43.7 anchor leg.

What a way for Superman to finish his collegiate career, as his checklist is now complete and he can bow out as one of the greatest NCAA athletes of all time before going pro.

Sheesh!

FIELD EVENTS

Men's High Jump | 7:00 p.m.

LSU's JuVaughn Harrison made history tonight as he became the ONLY man to ever win both the NCAA Division I high jump AND long jump titles. 

The sophomore bested the field with a 2.27m (7'5.25") hop.

DOUBLING DOWN ON HISTORY!

Men's Discus | 7:05 p.m.

On his fourth toss, Texas Tech senior Eric Kicinski clinched the team title for the Red Raiders with a 62.53m (205'2") effort. WRECK 'EM, indeed.

Men's Triple Jump | 7:40 p.m.

On his last attempt of the evening, TCU's Chengetayi Mapaya took the triple jump title by force with a whopping 17.13m (56'2.5")—a massive improvement on his former 16.83m (55'2.75") PR.
