Pittsburg State’s men rolled to their fourth consecutive team title, extending a streak that began in 2022, while Grand Valley State’s women topped the podium for the first time since going back-to-back in 2011 and 2012. The Gorillas join Abilene Christian and Saint Augustine’s as the only men’s programs to have won four or more consecutive titles in NCAA DII history.

Men’s Recap

Pittsburg State dominated the proceedings, as it amassed 111 points – the most by a winning men’s team in 11 years – and won by 45 points – the largest margin of victory by a men’s team since 2014.

The Gorillas scored across 11 events, with titles in seven of them: Joel Nyatusah led a 1-2-3 sweep in the 110-meter hurdles; Dapriest Hogans in the 200 meters; Nate Watson in the 400 meters as well as the anchor leg on the winning 4×400 relay; Tre Betts in the triple jump; Caleb Calvin in the javelin; and Hunter Jones in the decathlon. Pittsburg State’s hurdlers outscored all but seven entire teams in the meet.

William Amponsah led West Texas A&M to a runner-up finish thanks to his 5000-10,000 double. The Buffs also received big points from Isaac Bostio, who started the final day by anchoring the 4×100 relay squad to victory and then returned to win the 100 meters in a wind-aided 9.94 (+4.0). Bostio took the 100-meter crown by just 0.01 seconds over Olaolu Olatunde of Harding.

Grand Valley State finished third and drew inspiration from its high jumpers, who went 1-2 with Javion Harrison topping the podium. Fourth place went to Wingate, as its distance runners scored all of its 38 points, including 19 in the 1500 meters alone. Harding took fifth.

Women’s Recap

One point was all the difference between champion and runner-up.

Grand Valley State held off a late charge by Adams State to win its third title in program history. The Lakers had a sizable advantage in the standings up until the 5000 meters when the Grizzlies racked up 25 points behind a 1-2-4-7 finish with Tristian Spence taking top individual honors. GVSU got nine valuable points in that event from Natalie Graber and Klaudia O’Malley, who finished third and sixth, respectively. Just a few events earlier, O’Malley captured the 1500-meter title, which put her alongside Erika Beistle as an event champion (Beistle won the discus with a meet-record heave).

Pittsburg State was a clear third with 54.5 points. Ten of those points came from Blakelee Winn’s sensational effort in the heptathlon. Winn stockpiled 6007 points to shatter the meet record and become just the fourth woman in NCAA DII history to eclipse 6000 points.

Fresno Pacific and West Texas A&M tied for fourth with 35 points.

Alexis Brown of Lenoir-Rhyne turned in a meet for the ages. Brown completed the 100-200 sweep in record fashion, highlighted by a 10.93 (+1.8) scorcher in the 100 that put her No. 2 on the 2025 world list and is the fastest wind-legal effort by a collegian this year. Earlier in the meet, Brown lowered her own NCAA DII record in the 200 meters to 22.35.
