Summary
56 points carried Arkansas to its first NCAA men's outdoor team championship since 2003, even though the Razorbacks did not win an individual or relay event.
Ralford Mullings added a key Oklahoma headline by winning discus at 215 feet, 11 inches, becoming the first man to repeat in the event since 2004.
Georgia finished second with 49 points and Tennessee third with 46, with five SEC schools placing in the top six as the conference dominated the team race.
Several finals produced historic marks: Alabama's Samuel Ogazi won the 400 in a collegiate-record 43.38, and LSU's Jaiden Reid set an NCAA 200 record at 19.63.
The meet now shifts to the women's finale Saturday, with Washington leading on 18 points ahead of Iowa State's 15 and Nebraska's 14.
