Needing points in pursuit of the team title, theUniversity of Houston was hoping to score with its three sprintersCameron Burrell,Elijah Hall, andMario Burke in the final of the100 m on June 8. Though a headwind prevented fast times, Burrell and Hall were able to accelerate and out-leanFlorida State University'sAndre Ewers, considered by some to be the favorite, at the finish to score 18 points in addition to Burke's one point for finish eighth. In a post-race interview withESPN, Burrell said he dedicated his win in this race to teammate Brian Barazza who fell after leading in the3000 m steeplechase hours before.^[3]

Having set the indoor400 m world record and having not lost a race all year, theUniversity of Southern California'sMichael Norman was considered the prohibitive favorite in the men's 400 m on June 8. Before the race, he said his goal was to beat Olympic gold medalistQuincy Watts, his coach'spersonal best in the event, which would have also been acollegiate record. Despite a fleeting rain, Norman ran conservatively in the beginning but pulled a late charge to win the race in 43.61 seconds, a newcollegiate record and a time that made him among the 15 fastest performers of all time. TheUniversity of Auburn'sAkeem Bloomfield also ran under 44 seconds and his teammateNathon Allen ran 44.1 seconds, both among the top collegiate times in history, leading some to call the race the greatest collegiate 400m of all time.^[5]

TheUniversity of Texas at El Paso'sMichael Saruni, coming off hiscollegiate record, was considered the favorite for the men's800 m on June 8.Texas A&M University's Devin Dixon led the field through a quick 400 m split, and soon Saruni andPenn State University'sIsaiah Harris were both in contention with a lap to go. But with 300 meters to go, Saruni abruptly accelerated, leaving him with less energy on the final stretch as Harris and eventuallyMississippi State University'sMarco Arop passed him, with Harris taking his first NCAA title in a quickpersonal best time of 1:44.76.^[6]

TheUniversity of New Mexico'sJosh Kerr was the favorite for the men's1500 m on June 8 on account of being the defending champion andcollegiate record-holder. Before the race, he had mentioned wanting to break his own collegiate record in the final on June 8, but wet conditions didn't allow it as the field went out in 61 seconds for the first 400 m. In a late surge, the unheraldedOllie Hoare passed Kerr in the final 100 meters to become theUniversity of Wisconsin's first champion in this event in over 40 years.^{[further explanation needed][7]}

Former indoor and outdoor5000 m championsJustyn Knight andGrant Fisher were among the favorites in the men's 5000 m on June 8. Despite finishing in the last three places in the10,000 m two days prior to the race,Brigham Young University's three runners were also expected to factor on suspicion that they had purposefully ran the 10,000 m easily to avoid gettingdisqualified from the meet and focus solely on the 5000 m. Wet conditions and a championship-style tactical race prevented fast times as only one athlete in the field set apersonal best. Ultimately,Stanford University seniorSean McGorty finished the strongest as he took the individual title, with his teammate Fisher being passed by Knight in the final ten meters. The strong finish of Stanford runners scored them sixteen points in this event, which contributed to briefly allowing Stanford to lead the overall team title standings.^[8]

With last year's championMarc Scott having graduated, theUniversity of Alabama's Vincent Kiprop, a Kenyan transfer from theNCAA Division II schoolMissouri Southern State University, was considered the favorite. He was helped in the final by fellow Kenyans and Alabama transfers Gilbert Kigen and Alfred Chelanga, who ran together at a quick pace of 4:22 for the first1600 m. In the next two miles, the pace substantially slowed asNorthern Arizona University runners Tyler Day and Matthew Baxter caught up and alternated the lead. The field remained tightly packed, with the top eight athletes less than two seconds apart at 8000 m which Kiprop first passed in 22:59. With two laps remaining, the top six of Kiprop, Day, Baxter, theUniversity of Michigan'sBen Flanagan, Thomson, andDillon Maggard began to separate. Kiprop attempted to lengthen his lead with one lap to go, but Flanagan remained in tow and passed Kiprop in the final 50 meters. Directly at the conclusion of the race, he toldESPN cameras, "Where's my mom?" Flanagan's final time of 28:34 was a thirty-nine second improvement over his previous best of 29:13. Flanagan credited staying "as patient as possible" in part for his win. His victory was the first by a Canadian in this event at the NCAA championships since 2012, whenCam Levins won the title.^{[9][10][11][12]}

Defending championGrant Holloway of theUniversity of Florida won the men's110 m hurdles on June 8. Holloway had a fast start and built up a lead 50 meters into the race, but as he approached the finish both theUniversity of Illinois'David Kendziera andDamion Thomas ofLouisiana State University began to make up ground, leaning at the finish line but ultimately coming up short.^[13]

The men's400 m hurdles took place on May 8. TheUniversity of Southern California'sRai Benjamin attracted attention during the prelims by stepping twelve times (as compared to the standard thirteen or more) between each hurdle, a feat that onlyworld record holderKevin Young had notably achieved before. During the final, which took place soon after Southern California teammateMichael Norman set the collegiate record in the flat400 m, Benjamin stuttered at one of the early hurdles but ultimately pulled away from the field late to run a time of 47.02 seconds. The time was not only apersonal best by nearly a full second, but it was also a championship record,Hayward Field facility record, national record forAntigua and Barbuda, an NCAAcollegiate record, and the equal number-two performance of all time, behind onlyKevin Young's 46-second performance and equal to Edwin Moses' 1983 former World Record. The time came as a surprise to many who thought that the wet conditions and puddles on the track were not conducive to running fast times.^[14]

There was no clear favorite in the men's3000 m steeplechase, as the collegiate yearly leader did not qualify and no scoring athletes returned from last year's final. Most expected the race to be tactical due to wet conditions, but theUniversity of Houston'sBrian Barraza gapped the field early, taking the race out at an 8:20 pace for the first few laps—a time that was over ten seconds faster than any of the athletes'personal bests. The frontrunning strategy seemed to have been working as Barazza still held a considerable lead going in to the last lap, but a fall on one of the last barriers allowed theUniversity of Minnesota'sObsa Ali to pass and win the race in a personal-best time of 8:32 minutes. Barraza had trouble getting up after his fall, and ultimately finished tenth. As Houston was considered by some to be a contender for the team title, Barazza's bold race strategy was considered foolish by some but brave by others. After the race, Barraza's coachSteve Magness said that Barraza felt dazed after the race, and that he was considering being checked for aconcussion. The fall was later featured onESPN'sSportsCenter.^[15]

Though the4 x 400 m was the final men's event of the championships, the team title was already decided as theUniversity of Georgia's points lead was too great for any other team to overtake them in the relays. Nevertheless, theUniversity of Southern California won the event and set a newcollegiate record of 2:59.00 minutes. The four-man team included both new NCAA record-holdersMichael Norman (in the flat400 m) andRai Benjamin (in the400 m hurdles), and both athletes ran under 44 seconds for their legs to have the two fastest split times in the field. Despite Norman having held the third-fastest split time in history with a 43.03 split at the NCAA West Regional, it was Benjamin who had the faster split of 43.6 seconds in the race on June 8. Norman, who was the anchor, ran largely alone for his leg as he received the baton in the lead and the team won by nearly a full second.^[17]

Coming off a 10.91 time in the prelims that was the fourth-best mark in NCAA history,Aleia Hobbs ofLouisiana State University was favored to win the women's100 m on June 9. Heavy rain prevented her from besting that time as she won the event by more than 0.2 seconds, and Hobbs said after the race that the rain was so pervasive that she could not see the track while she was running.^[27]
