NCAA DI ITF All-America2023 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field All-America
NEW ORLEANS – All-America honors for the 2023 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field season were announced on Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Athletes of member institutions who finished in the top-8 of their respective individual events and relays at the 2023 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships this past weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico, took home First-Team All-America honors, while those who placed ninth through 16th individually and as part of a relay earned Second-Team All-America. The remaining athletes were honorable mention.
National team titles were swept for the first time since 2016, with Arkansas bringing championship trophies in both competitions. It was the 21st title for the Razorback men – extending their record number in this meet – and fourth for the Lady Razorbacks. The men’s and women’s sweep was the fifth in meet history, last achieved in 2016 by Oregon.
Coincidentally, Arkansas earned the most First-Team All-America honorees for each gender, with the men totaling 18 and the women collecting 14. Only two other programs earned double-digit First Team honors in either gender – Florida and Washington each nabbing 11 on the men’s side, while Texas (12) and Florida (10) did on the women’s portion of the ledger.
No athlete earned more First-Team All-America honors than either Julien Alfred of Texas or Charisma Taylor of Tennessee, who received three each. Alfred set collegiate records while winning the 60 (a CR 6.96 in the prelims before another CR 6.94 in the final) and 200 (CR 22.01) while also running on the Longhorns’ second-place 4×400 relay. Taylor was second in the triple jump at 14.88m (48-10) – better than the CR when the meet began – and added a third-place in the 60 hurdles (7.93 after a PR 7.91 in the prelims) and added a fifth-place in the long jump with a PR 6.64m (21-9½).
From an overall perspective, no program earned more All-America honors (First-Team and Second-Team combined) than Arkansas with 36. Texas was next with 29, as Washington (26), Florida (25) and Stanford (20) also ended up with 20 or more plaudits for their efforts in the Land of Enchantment.
