Webb and Young led the six other runners competing for the title throughout the entire race.

“I felt great. I put my heart and soul in that push, and it kind of just put me in the lead a little bit,” Webb said. “And it was just playing catch up for everybody else.”

This win is Webb’s first NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Last season, Webb took home the silver medal in the 200-meter dash, so this win was something he needed to feel accomplished. The California native has won the 200 twice for the NCAA Indoor National Championship.

Webb’s win has helped Texas A&M maintain the men’s first place lead with 53 points. They are currently tied with Florida.
