COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Day two of the NCAA Indoor Championships showed promising results as the men finished 14th overall.
Texas Tech wrangled three first team All-American honors and two second team honors today, bringing both of the overall totals to four.

Lubbock native Trey Culver captured the high jump crown, marking back-to-back years in which he has claimed this honor. The junior notched a new indoor personal-record height of 2.26m/7-5, matching his outdoor record which he achieved at the 2016 Nike Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. This mark also allowed Culver the No. 5 indoor Texas Tech record.

Senior Viershanie Latham also had a personal-best performance achieving a new school record triple jump mark of 13.39m/43-11.25 to finish sixth. This mark topped Latham's previous personal record and school record of 13.33m/43-8.75 achieved at this year's Tyson Invitational.
To wrap up the weekend the men's 4x400 meter relay (Kyle Collins, Andrew Hudson, C.J. Jones and Steven Champlin) pushed to place first in their heat clocking 3:05.63 giving them the No. 6 overall finish. This time put them fourth in the Texas Tech indoor records and was their second best performance of the season.
Charles Brown concluded two of his three events today with the high jump and triple jump, ending with three second team All-American honors on the weekend. Brown's 15.42m/50-7.25 triple jump mark put him in 13th overall while his 2.10m/6-10.75 clearance in the high jump gave him a 16th place finish.
