NCAA Men's Formchart - 3/11/2026Published by
DyeStat Men's NCAA Division 1 Indoor Form Chart Compiled by Jack Pfeifer of Lake Oswego, Ore Name School Yr 60 Meters Ajayi (6.45/9.88 outdoor 100m) was runnerup a year ago to Jordan Anthony of Arkansas, who turned professional. His teammate Okon (6.53/9.91w) was 3rd. Both ran for Nigeria in the World Championships in Tokyo. They finished 1-3 in this year’s SEC, bracketing Arkansas’s Watkins (6.52/10.01), who was 3rd in the 100 outdoors a year ago for LSU. Ajayi’s 6.45 equaled the quarter-century-old collegiate record. Walker (6.54/9.94), surprise runnerup in this event two years ago, surprised again by winning the Big Ten. Snow (6.46) is attempting the tough 60-60H double. Penn State is hoping for big things from (Dwyer (6.52), who finished just ahead of newcomer Jimenez (6.52), JC 100 runnerup last year. Lawyer (6.49) came to Tucson after his previous school, Washington State, eliminated most of its track program. He was 2nd at Big 12 to Snow. 200 4 Auhmad Robinson Texas A&M Sr 7 Amir Thompson Arizona State So Kaalund (19.85 outdoor PR) ran 20.06 at Big Ten, closing in on the collegiate and American records, making him the prohibitive favorite. Robinson (20.21w), long known as a quartermiler (44.61 best), is stepping down to the deuce. McCoy (19.93), who ran for the Bahamas in the Paris Games, missed much of last season with injury; he was 2nd to Watkins (20.28) at SEC. Johnson (20.29w) won ACC and US Juniors outdoors last year as a freshman. Thompson (20.40) is an 18-year-old sophomore and current world Junior leader indoors. Banks (20.37) and Dwyer (20.51) ran 2-3 at Big Ten behind Kaalund. 400 4 Jayden Davis Arizona State Jr 8 Josiah Wrice South Caroilna So Simms set a world Junior indoor record (44.62) in January but ran 3rd to Ogazi (44.72) and Pierre (45.06) at SEC. Ogazi (44.41 outdoor PR), reigning outdoor champion, at 19 has already represented Nigeria at the Olympics and Worlds. The defending champion, Georgia’s Will Floyd, has seen limited action over the winter, and a teammate, freshman Sidi Njie (45.36), was a scratch. Davis (45.31) won Big 12, Stadlman (45.51) Big Ten over Palermo and Udo. Florida also has two solid entries in Justin Braun (45.30) and freshman Jayden Horton-Mims (45.36). 800 3 Rivaldo Marshall Arkansas Sr 8 Tinoda Matsatsa Georgetown Jr Colin Sahlman of Northern Arizona broke the collegiate record (1:44.70) this winter but is not even running this event at NCAA! Roban (1:44.74) nearly topped Sahlman’s mark two weeks later, then led the Nittany Lions to a 1-2-3 sweep at Big Ten. Roban’s outdoor PR is a mere 1:42.87, the national record for his native island nation of St. Vincent, and not far back on the PR sked is Arkansas’s Taylor, now the Jamaican national recordholder at 1:43.74. Taylor’s fellow Hog Marshall, a mere mortal at 1:45.59, was NCAA indoor champion two years ago for Iowa. He was runnerup at SEC to Peter Narumbe of Texas A&M, who, alas, is not in the field because he didn’t make Top 16 on the season-ending list. Matti Erickson (1:44.49 outdoors) of Oregon is defending champion, looking for crucial points in the Ducks’ quest for the team title. He was relegated to 7th at Big Ten in part because he was doubling back from 600. The winner of that event, Miles Brown of Michigan, broke the collegiate record for that distance but also was a non-qualifier in the 800. Mile 4 George Couttie Virginia Tech Jr Getting under 3:55 is the new sub-4-minute mile, and everyone in this field did so over the winter. McFarland (3:52.73) defeated a tough field at Big Ten that included Palfrey (3:53.86) and Cook (3:52.32). Specht (3:52.95) has come from nowhere to win the ACC. Martin, a force a year ago, when he ran 3:48.82, has not been as formidable this season but is still a threat. He was 3k runnerup a year ago. Attiogbe (3:52.44) was Heps runnerup. Couttie (3:52.02) is doubling back in the 3 and probably also anchoring the DMR, as are others in this field. 3000 3 Colin Sahlman Northern Arizona Sr 4 Colton Sands North Carolina Sr 6 Ernest Cheruiyot Arkansas Jr 8 George Couttie Virginia Tech Jr In a big head-to-head at BU, Langon (7:34.00) defeated Sands (7:34.05) by .05 in the fastest race of the year. But our pick is Birnbaum (7:39.65), a high school star who seems to be coming into his own in this his junior season, won the Big Ten 3k and 5k going away. The Ducks have other contenders, including Connor Burns (7:40.80) and Ben Balazs (7:39.31), but this is tough field and points won’t come easily. That especially includes Sahlman, whose seasonal bests are merely 1:44.70/3:52.30/7:36.71. Samuel is reigning NCAA champion in cross country and the outdoor 10k, but he can kick with the others? 5000 2 Colton Sands North Carolina Sr 3 Denis Kipngetich Oklahoma State Jr 4 Ernest Cheruiyot Arkansas Jr 7 Elsingi Kipruto Louisville Fr Samuel (13:04.92) was a close 2nd to Brian Musau of Oklahoma State last year outdoors, Langon (13:05.21) 3rd. Langon beat Samuel by thousandths in a race at BU in December. Samuel broke Henry Rono’s historic collegiate record for two miles at the Millrose Games. Sands (13:17.88) defeated the excellent Virginia pair of Gary Martin and Nathan Mountain at the ACC. 60 Hurdles 2 Ja’Qualon Scott Texas A&M Sr 5 Vashaun Vascianna Arkansas Sr Tharp (7.46) and Campbell (7.48) were 1-2 a year ago with Snow (7.43) 3rd, Antoine Andrews (7.49) of Texas Tech 6th, Scott (7.46) 7th, Vascianna (7.53) 8th. Tharp has won his last three championship races – NCAA indoors and outdoors and last year’s U.S. Nationals. There is also a new threat in the sophomore Franklin, who won the Southern Conference in 7.41; only two collegians have ever run faster. Arkansas, in contention for the team title, also has freshman Abdoul Sy-Savane (7.55). 4x400 The Georgia Bulldogs (3:03.10 this season) are defending champions, but they have lost several strong legs and are no longer the favorites in this perennially wide-open race. South Carolina (3:00.86) narrowly missed the collegiate record in winning the mid-season Tiger Paw meet over Alabama (3:02.29) and Georgia, but then they were merely 5th at conference. Meanwhile on the same day, Florida (3:02.15) won Tyson over Tennessee (3:02.46) and Arkansas (3:03.40). A&M ran 3:02.01 at SEC but was disqualified. SC (3:02.55), meanwhile, finished 3rd to Ohio State (3:03.87) at Big Ten without its A lineup. It’s anybody’s race. Distance Medley Michigan (9:14.80), which hasn’t won this race in 20 years, won the biggest race of conference weekend by defeating Oregon (9:14.88) in the Big Ten in a close race. Can they do it again? All 12 qualifiers have broken 9:20 (counting NCAA conversions). Virginia (9:16.75), anchored by Gary Martin, is defending champion. You can never count out Marcus O’Sullivan’s Villanova Wildcats (9:16.10). Washington (9:17.03), recent holders of the collegiate record, has never won this championship, though they won Penn Relays a year ago. Virginia Tech, anchored by George Couttie, has run 9:15.05. The first time Michigan won this DMR was 30 years ago, a team anchored by Kevin Sullivan, its current coach. High Jump 2 Devin Loudermilk Kansas State Sr 4 Kyren Washington Oklahoma Jr 7 Trey Bartholomew Oklahoma Sr Jack PR’d (7-5 ¾) at SEC to become the favorite. Troupe (7-5 1/2 PR), reigning outdoor champion, was back in 5th. There are four at 7-4 ½ this winter – the K-State pair of Loudermilk and Hanna and the OU pair of Ritz and Washington. The Sooners have a 3rd entrant in Bartholomew (7-3). Pole Vault 2 Ismaila Sawaneh Tennessee Jr 4 Aleksandr Solovyov Texas A&M Sr Wicker joined a small club of 19-year-olds to clear their age in winning Big Ten at 19 even. Sawaneh (18-11 1/2) won a thrilling three-way battle at SEC over the Russian Solovyov (18-8 ¾ this winter), the reigning outdoor champion, and another of the five Tennessee Volunteers in the competition, Gray (18-9 ½). Rhoads, a Penn grad now at Washington who cleared 19-1 earlier in the season, was relegated to 4th at Big Ten. Others deserving mention in this great field include the Big 12 champion, Anthony Meacham of Kansas (19-6 ½), and the Big South champion, Ricardo Montes de Oca of High Point (18-7 ½). Long Jump 4. D.J. Fillmore Ohio State Jr 5 Kennedy Stringfellow Oklahoma Jr 6 Tafadzwa Chikomba Kansas State Jr Can Foster become the first Ivy League athlete to win an NCAA long jump, going back to 1921? He jumped 27-0 ½ to win the Heps. Stringfellow, the son of three-time champion Savante Stringfellow, opened the season with a world-leading 27-2 ½, but has not approached that since. Daniel (26-11 ¼), the defending champion, lost to Foster at Tyson. The Florida and South African freshman Masikane was next, going 26-7 ¼, but was just 6th at SEC, won by Daniel over Turner (26-7 ¼). The other 27-foot jumper in the field is Fillmore, who did so on his final attempt at Big Ten. Triple Jump 3 Theo Mudzengerere Kentucky Sr 4 Selva Prabhu Kansas State So 7 Trevon Hamer Kansas State Jr 8 Kevin Kemboi Oklahoma State Fr The Frenchman Seremes (PR 56-0 ½) won the 2025 title, for Missouri, with Green (55-7) 3rd. Green won outdoors, ahead of Whitaker (2nd) and Prabhu (54-6 ¾) 5th. Hamer (55-0 ¼) was JC champion last year at Barton County. Seremes won the Big 12 over Prabhu while Mudzengerere (54-10) PR’d to win the SEC over Green. Shot Put 1 Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan Ole Miss Sr 7 Quentin Peterson Gardner-Webb Sr 8 Roury McCloyen Mississippi State Jr Robinson-O’Hagan, looking for his 3rd indoor title in the event, is the overwhelming favorite, his 69-6 PR 3 1/2 feet ahead of the field. The next eight placers behind him a year ago graduated. The Jamaican Lawrence (66-1 ¾) was 4th outdoors but just 6th at Big Ten, won in an upset by Henry, who PR’d at 65-5, just ahead of the freshman Smith (65-4 ¾). Van Daalen (66-1) PR’d at SEC to get 2nd behind Robinson-O’Hagan. Weight Throw 2 Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan Ole Miss Sr 5 Nikolaos Polychroniou Virginia Jr 6 Gary Moore Jr Kansas State Sr Johnson (84-2 1/4) was 3rd a year ago, ahead of Nubbe (4th) and Robinson-O’Hagan (5th). Robinson-O’Hagan (79-10 ¾) has been 5th, 5th and 3rd in his three Nationals in the weight. Tanner (79-4) and Nubbe (79-3 ¾) are the others in the field beyond 79 feet. Johnson won the Big Ten, Robinson-O’Hagan the SEC, Tanner the Mountain West, Polychroniou the ACC. Heptathlon 4 Carter Morton Northern Iowa Sr 7 Zach McGlynn North Dakota State Sr 8 Edgar Campre Miami (Fla.) Sr Bair (6371) was national champion a year ago for Mississippi State before transferring to Oregon. Barton (5944) was 4th indoors and 6th outdoors for BYU. Byrd (6161) was 4th outdoors, Morton (6054) 5th. Byrd passed up the ACC multi but won the vault instead, at a PR 18-2 ½. Campre (5852) has placed as high as 2nd outdoors. Team Scores 1 Oregon 51 2 Arkansas 50 3 Penn State 40 4 Oklahoma 28 5 Texas A&M 26 6 Kansas State 25 7 Auburn/USC 24 9 Texas Tech 23 10 Georgia 22 The team title could come down to the closing 3,000 and 4x400. The Ducks have many entrants in the 3k, but how many can score? Arkansas has a 4x4, but how high can they place? It’s not likely that another team can challenge for the title. Penn State is close to maxed-out at 40. More news |
