Eight Red Raiders/teams were crowned individual champions Sunday, including Courtney Lindsey who was a part of three first place finishes en route to earning the meet's "Highest Point Scorer" award. Lindsey started off the day running the second leg on Tech's winning 4x100 relay (Adam Clayton, Lindsey, Don'Dre Swint, Terrence Jones) that clocked in a new school record of 38.24. That time was also a new meet and facility record.

Lindsey then captured the 100m title with a 10.08 (.076) (2.1w) before capping off his day winning the 200m with a time of 20.21(1.1w). Terrence Jones clocked in the same time (10.08) as Lindsey in the 100m but it came down to the final tenths of a second (.080). (Caleb Dean swept both the 110 and 400 hurdles. In the 110 hurdles, Dean clocked in at 13.44 (2.3w) and registered a time of 48.39 in the 440 hurdles – Big 12 record and facility record.

Zach Bradford claimed his fifth-straight Big 12 title in the pole vault (moved indoors) clearing 5.87m (19-3). In the process, it becomes a new meet record and he re-writes his own school record once again. Devin Roberson earned his second-straight Big 12 crown in the discus, going 59.24m (194-4) on his second heave. Keyshawn King's second leap of 15.95m (52-4) earned him his first Big 12 trophy.

Meanwhile, on the women's side, TTU crowned three individuals. Sylvia Schulz provided an exciting finish in the 400 hurdles as she posted a sub-57 time for the first time in her career, claiming her first conference title. Schulz leaned out at the finish line for a time of 56.32, lowering her own school record. Demisha Roswell defended her 100 hurdles title running a 13.02 (1.0w), while Malin Smith threw a mark of 56.41m (185-1) for her first Big 12 trophy.
