Aggie Men Win Fifth NCAA Outdoor Title
Jun 14, 2025 | Track and Field
EUGENE – The Texas A&M men's track & field team claimed the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championship in a final-race thriller Friday evening at Hayward Field. The victory marks the men's fifth outdoor crown and head coach Pat Henry's 10th national title leading the Aggies. A&M had a pair of individual national champions and two runner-up finishes to highlight the championship chase.
With all eyes on the final relay of the meet, the Aggies sat in fourth in the team standings leaving the men's 4x400m quartet of Hossam Eddine Hatib, Cutler Zamzow, Kimar Farquharson and Auhmad Robinson with the team's title hopes on the line. Hatib got the group off to a blistering start and handed the baton to Zamzow who led at the break. Another strong leg had Farquharson right in the mix with Robinson left to run. Robinson battled with the leaders and secured second in the event with a season-best time of 3:00.73, capturing the needed eight points to deliver the title.
Sam Whitmarsh added an individual national title to his resume and drove the Aggies up the team standings when he won the men's 800m crown following a staggering kick on the final 200m. The senior crossed the line in 1:45.86 to become the second member of the Maroon & White to win a national title in the event, joining Donovan Brazier who won his title in 2016.
The Aggie hurdle duo of Ja'Qualon Scott and Bryce McCray added a crucial 11 points to the team tally following a pair of personal-best performances in the 400m hurdles. Scott broke the school record in the event to claim a runner-up finish with a time of 48.29. The senior now holds all hurdle school records across A&M's indoor and outdoor record book. McCray delivered a career showing when the team needed it, as he ran 49.52 to finish sixth.
Robinson started the scoring for the day in the men's 400m, as the Aggie senior clocked a mark of 46.07 to finish seventh overall in the event.
A&M's national title march was sparked by Aleksandr Solovev on the opening day of the meet, as he contributed 10 points to the men's total in the pole vault.
Sofia Yakushina opened her women's heptathlon campaign on the penultimate day of the championships as she sits in eighth after the opening four events with 3,492 points. She started the day in the 100m hurdles, where she ran 13.53 to place fourth. The freshman followed that up securing eighth in the high jump (1.69m/5-6.5) and 19th in the shot put (11.46m/37-7.25). Yakushina concluded her day with another fourth-place result, this time in the 200m where she clocked 24.02.
