Complete Results | Team Scores

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — No one expected it last year. Almost everyone expected it this year.

But, no matter the expectations, Josh Kerr wasn't going to be stopped.

Kerr defended his national title in the mile run and Ednah Kurgat and Weini Kelati both ran to All-American status in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs as the University of New Mexico track & field team shined at the 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Behind their elite distance runners, the Lobos' excelled inside Gilliam Indoor Stadium on the campus of Texas A&M, as the eighth-ranked women's team tied for 10th place overall with 17 points and the 18th-ranked men's team finished tied for 21st place with 10 points.
