Arkansas displayed its usual strength in distance events but also showed unprecedented flash in the sprints to win its second straight team title at the Division I Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships June 9-12 at Texas.

The Razorbacks claimed four individual titles -- including first-ever victories in two sprint events -- to easily outpoint runner-up Florida, 65 1/2-49, and win their 11th overall crown.

Tyson Gay claimed Arkansas' first title in the 100-meter dash and freshman teammate Wallace Spearmon posted the Razorbacks' first championships victory at 200 meters to complement wins by two-time runner-up Chris Mulvaney in the 1,500-meter run and Alistair Cragg in the 10,000-meter run.

Cragg claimed his first 10,000-meter title at the championships, after officially taking second in the event last year when he joined hands with teammate Daniel Lincoln as they crossed the finish line.

He had been favored in the 5,000-meter run entering regional meets but missed qualifying in that event due to an injury, and then lost an appeal to compete in Austin. With the 10,000-meter victory, Cragg closed out his collegiate career with a combined six Division I indoor and outdoor individual titles.

Arkansas' 16 1/2-point margin of victory is the largest in the championships since the Razorbacks' 38-point victory over UTEP in 1994.

"How sweet it is," said Arkansas coach John McDonnell. "It was hard-fought, but we still won. It's just nice to win after all the hullabaloo with the 5,000.

"I think the team did a fantastic job. So many guys laid it on the line...I don't know one guy who didn't lay it on the line. We haven't had too many meets where everyone competed well."

Gay and Spearmon combined for 25 points for the Razorbacks, with Gay finishing fourth in the 200 meters after winning the 100-meter event.

"You can't ask for more than that," Arkansas sprints and hurdles coach Lance Brauman said of the pair. "They're great athletes and great kids; it's a great combination."

Florida swept the hurdles and also won the 400-meter relay to post its best-ever team finish at the championships. Freshman Kerron Clement won the 400-meter hurdles for the Gators and received scoring help in the event from senior Ricky Harris, who won two years ago. Josh Walker claimed the 110-meter hurdles crown.

LSU, which won the indoor title in March, finished third after Tigers senior John Moffitt completed an indoor-outdoor sweep of the long jump. South Carolina senior Tony Allmond posted the best jump of his career and appeared to take command of that event with a leap of 8.35 meters on his last attempt, but had to settle for second place for the second straight year after Moffitt responded with a jump of 8.40 meters to claim the victory.

Three teams tied for fourth, including Southern Methodist, which is discontinuing its men's track and field program. The school posted its seventh top-four finish in outdoor championships history, including team victories in 1983 and 1986.

The Mustangs' Hannes Hopley successfully defended his 2003 championship in the discus throw, giving Southern Methodist its 27th individual victory in meet history.

TCU and Ohio State also tied for fourth in the team standings.

Nebraska's Carl Myerscough joined Hopley as the only repeat event winners, with his victory in the shot put. Leevan Sands of Auburn, who won the long jump last year, was unable to qualify for the final in that event, but still claimed a title this year with his victory in the triple jump.

Baylor was the only other multiple-event winner at the championships. Sophomore Jeremy Wariner won the 400-meter dash for the Bears with a time of 44.71 seconds, then posted an unofficial split of 44.1 in the third leg of the 1,600-meter relay to power Baylor to its eighth outdoor title in that event.

There were no new meet records set at the championships.
