Tulsa Track and Field's Marc Scott won the National Title in the 10,000 meters this weekend. Congrats to TU and to Marc Scott!
Marc Scott Crowned National Champion in 10,000-Meters
Marc Scott became The University of Tulsa's second track and field national champion as he took the lead and pulled away down the stretch to win the 10,000-meters at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships on Wednesday evening at historic Hayward Field. The redshirt senior won the event with a time of 29:01.54 as he earned his eighth all-American honor.
"I thought some guys might separate earlier, but the slow race is what I've done all year," said Scott. "Sit and sit for as long as I can and then really go after it for the last 400-600m. It was spot on for me."
Scott's late push to take a lead that he never surrendered allowed him to become the second Tulsa national champion in program history (Chris O'Hare, Indoor Mile) and the first in an outdoor event.
