Ted McMillan was the first male athlete in NCAA history to win both the 400-meter hurdles and high jump at the same NCAA Outdoor Championships. Read that again: NCAA history, not just NCAA DIII history. McMillan accomplished that unprecedented – and yet still unmatched – feat back in 2007, as a sophomore. He won the high jump on the first day of the Championships when he was the only athlete to clear 2.06m (6-9). Then, McMillan took to the track to top the hurdling podium, thanks to a divisional season’s best of 51.50. McMillan racked up accolades in addition to history. He finished his legendary career with three NCAA runner-up finishes, 12 total All-America honors in four events, and captured 18 conference titles across six events.
