Larance Jones of Truman (then Northeast Missouri) won six NCAA 400-meter/440-yard titles combining the NCAA Division I and Division II. He lost only once in any NCAA final, finishing second.
Two of his titles came in the NCAA College Division prior to the current three-division setup, one in NCAA Division II and three in NCAA Division I. Those DI titles included two indoors, during a time when there was no indoor championships for DII. His senior year of 1974 saw him sweep the NCAA DI Indoor before both the outdoor DII and DI, making him the first and only athlete with that combination of victories.
