USC, Texas A&M share NCAA track & field title after USF rallies to win 1,600 relay

In a thrilling finish at the NCAA men's outdoor track and field championships, South Florida stole the show with a stunning victory in the 1,600-meter relay. That result left USC and Texas A&M deadlocked for the overall team title, each with 41 points—just one ahead of Arkansas. USC, fresh off an indoor championship earlier this year, ended a 49-year outdoor title drought, while Texas A&M shared the glory. Arkansas narrowly missed out, finishing third, while the Trojans' relay team had a rough night, landing in eighth and scoring just one point.
