Texas Tech Sweeps 2025 Big 12 Track and Field Championships, Titled Indoor and Outdoor Champions

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Texas Tech swept the 2025 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship as the men’s team tallied 136 points to claim its sixth crown, while 127 points were posted by the women’s team during its journey to its first Big 12 outdoor title. Both programs were also the 2025 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field champions.

BYU finished second in the men’s standings with 100.66 points, followed by Houston in third place with 96 points, Kansas in fourth place with 75 points and Iowa State rounded out the top five with 71 points.

The BYU women earned 112.5 points for a second-place finish with TCU placing third with 86 points, Baylor finishing fourth with 84.5 points and Kansas’ 55.83 points earned them a fifth-place finish.

BYU’s James Corrigan and TCU’s Indya Mayberry were named the Men’s and Women’s High Point Award winners after earning 20 and 22 points, respectively, during the weekend.

After three days of action, a total of 10 meet records were reset. Headlined by Corrigan’s second record-breaking performance, seven Big 12 meet records were crushed during the Championship’s final day.  

The Red Raider women led the league’s teams in the field events on Saturday as they earned the gold in the high jump, discus throw and the triple jump. TTU’s Temitope Adeshina defended her high jump crown with a meet record jump of 1.97 meters, surpassing the previous 16-year-old mark of 1.95.

Already earning the women’s hammer throw Friday, TTU’s Shelby Frank was not done at the Championship on Saturday as she collected her second Big 12 crown during the weekend with a winning throw of 62.14 in the women’s discus throw.

The women’s team title was secured by TTU following a 26-point performance from the Red Raiders during the women’s triple jump. Victoria Gorlova rounded out TTU’s event winners as she won the event with a jump of 13.66 meters, leading a quartet of Red Raiders finishing within the top eight.  

The Red Raider men claimed the 4x100 with a time of 39.34 seconds, their first gold in the event since 2023. On the women’s side, Baylor claimed its second consecutive Big 12 title in the event with a time of 42.73 seconds.

DeSean Boyce would pick up the Red Raider men’s second crown of the day in the 400 meters (45.42) to claim the program’s second Big 12 title in the event since Gil Roberts was tabbed the winner in 2009.

The runners-up had a productive day on Saturday as the distance runners from both the men’s and women’s programs boasted meet records. BYU’s Meghan Hunter became the first woman to run sub-two minutes in the women’s 800 meters in Big 12 history. Her time of 1:58.99 is now the third-fastest in NCAA history.

Additionally, BYU earned another title as Corrigan posted the Championship’s fastest time in the men’s 5,000 meters at 13:25.46. It marked the second time the junior had reset a Big 12 record this week.

Lexy Halladay-Lowry rounded out record-breaking performances posted by BYU distance runners as she claimed the women’s 5,000-meter crown with a time of 15:14.93, crushing the previous record by seven seconds (15:22.42, 2010). Halladay-Lowry claimed her second Big 12 title in the event during the 2025 season, also winning the indoor title.

The KU men picked up two field events as Dimitrios Pavlidis upheld his discus throw title with a launch of 61.31 meters during his fourth throw before Ashton Barkdull’s personal-best clearance of 5.61 meters in the pole vault led a group of five Jayhawks who finished within the top eight to claim the program’s second consecutive title in the event.  

In front of the Jayhawk home crowd, KU’s Emmaculate Jemutai’s kick within the final meters pushed her to a meet record time of 4:08.60 in the women’s 1,500 meters. The sophomore is the second runner from Kansas to win the gold medal, first claimed in 2010.

Houston’s Jamar Marshall Jr. reinvented the wheel in the men’s 110-meter hurdles as he outlasted a 14-year-old record (13.23) with a time of 13.13 to return the title to Houston. The Cougars reclaimed another sprinting title in the men’s 100 meters as sophomore Cayden Broadnax won the event with a time of 10.15 seconds.

Mayberry, this season’s NCAA leader in the women’s 100 meters, claimed her first Big 12 outdoor title in the event with a time of 11.03 seconds. The freshman is the first TCU woman to claim the gold in the event since the Horned Frogs joined the Conference in 2012. She later claimed the 200-meter title with a 22.47 mark. The freshman has gone undefeated in the event this season, claiming both indoor and outdoor Big 12 titles along with the NCAA indoor crown.

Lloyd Frilot swept the men’s 800 meters this season in the Conference, earning the indoor and outdoor crowns. Joining Mayberry as first-time TCU winners, Frilot is the first Horned Frog winner to clinch the men’s outdoor title.

Kashie Crockett rounded out the title winners from TCU on Saturday, winning the men’s 200 meters with a time of 20.41 seconds.

Baylor’s Nathaniel Ezekiel became the fifth Bear to claim the men’s 400-meter hurdles crown in back-to-back years with a Big 12 record-setting time of 47.89 seconds. During the week, the senior broke his Big 12 meet record twice, first surpassing his 48 seconds from last year during Thursday’s preliminary round.

K-State’s Jhavor Bennett earned the Wildcats’ first gold medal in the men’s triple jump since 2014. The junior won the event with a personal-best throw of 16.21 during his final attempt. 

Safhia Hinds became the third woman from K-State to earn the Big 12 title in the women’s 400-meter hurdles as she crossed the finish line at 55.90 seconds.

OSU’s Fouad Messaoudi earned his third men’s 1,500 meters Big 12 crown in four seasons with a time of 3:37.27.

Adaobi Tabugbo secured the Knights’ second straight Big 12 title in the women’s 100-meter hurdles after the senior ran the event in 12.87 seconds.

Iowa State’s Rachel Joseph went back-to-back in the women’s 400 meters this season, adding the outdoor crown (50.81) after claiming the event during the Big 12 Indoor Championship.

The Arizona State men won their first Big 12 4x400-meter relay (3:02.87) while UCF swept the relay on the women’s side (3:33.62) during the 2025 season to conclude the 2025 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

Big 12 teams will look ahead to preparing for the East and West Regions Qualifying Rounds of the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Athletes accepted into the first rounds, along with the Championship’s combined event athletes, will be announced on Thursday, May 22.
