COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Florida and Oregon won the men’s and women’s team titles for the second straight year at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships on Saturday.

Florida’s Jeff Demps, who also plays for the Gators’ football team, won his second consecutive 60-meter dash title with a school-record time, and Will Claye set an NCAA meet record in winning the triple jump, helping the Gators amass 52 points.

Texas A&M won the last event of the meet — the 1,600-meter relay — to finish second with 40 points. BYU was third with 34.

On the women’s side, Oregon’s Jordan Hasay won the mile and 3,000-meter race less than two hours apart on Saturday to score 20 of the Ducks’ 67 points.

Texas was second with 38 and LSU finished third with 37.
