Texas A&M · 2016
The fastest men's winning time in the decade by a significant margin. Brazier ran 1:43.55 as a freshman at Texas A&M — a time that would later foreshadow his 2019 World Championship title in Doha.
Texas A&M · 2021
Mu's 1:57.73 was a generational performance — among the fastest women's 800m times in NCAA history. She had already won the 400m at the same meet. Weeks later she won Olympic gold in Tokyo.
Oregon · 2015–2017
Rogers won three consecutive NCAA 800m titles (2015, 2016, 2017) — one of the most dominant runs of consistency in modern collegiate track history.
UTEP · 2017
Korir was a three-time NCAA champion who later won Olympic gold for Kenya in the 800m at the Tokyo Games. His time at UTEP marked one of the great careers in D1 middle distance history.
Kansas · 2019
Hoppel ran 1:44.41 in a deep, tactical final. He went on to become one of the top American 800m runners of his generation, reaching Olympic and World Championship finals.
LSU · 2023
Rose took the title for LSU with a controlled 1:59.83. She represents the next generation of elite NCAA middle distance runners making the transition to professional track.
