The team of Devin Augustine, Kion Benjamin, Finn Schirmer and Carlon Hosten were clean and posted a time of 39.39 to finish second overall.

Young's School Records Earn Her B1G Honors

Young dominated in her outdoor season debut in Tucson, breaking a pair of school records just weeks after completing her indoor career as an All-American in the 60m. Young's season started off with a bang in the 4x100m relay where they claimed the victory with a school record time of 43.88. The time breaks the school record that the same relay team put down last season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore. Individually, Young was the victor in both the 100m and 200m with her 23.10 in the 200m breaking Young's own school record in the event that she set in 2021. Young, who won the 200m indoor Big Ten title, is ranked No. 14 in the NCAA this season in the 200m and No. 1 in the Big Ten. In the 100m, Young's 11.25 wind-legal time slots her in the No. 13 time in the country this season and No. 3 among Big Ten runners.
