ALBUQUERQUE — Running with newfound reason after adopting her first child and navigating all the challenges that come with motherhood, Aleia Hobbs put together a flawless race and took down one of the oldest American indoor records to highlight the final day of the USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Convention Center. Capping off an undefeated season and taking down a mark that had stood for 30 years, Hobbs rocketed to an American record 6.94 in the women's 60m, erasing the previous AR of 6.95 that was set by Gail Devers in 1993 to win the World Indoor Championships at Toronto's Sky Dome, and tied by Marion Jones in 1998 at Maebashi, Japan. Hobbs, who already held the 2023 world lead at 6.98, was never behind as she powered out of the blocks and burned up the track in lane five to earn her first USATF indoor crown. Silver went to Marybeth Sant Price in a season best 7.09, and Destiny Smith-Barnett tied her lifetime best of 7.11 for bronze. What can an emerging superstar do for an encore? Newly minted American pentathlon record holder Anna Hall figured five events weren't enough on Thursday, so she lined up in the open 400m and destroyed her lifetime best with a 51.03 to take a second USATF gold. Hall, who scared the world record in the pentathlon, missing by only 10 points, sped to the front to take control of the final, passing through 200m in 23.38 ahead of NaAsha Robinson. Summoning all she had left in the final 50m, Hall crossed the line 1.27 seconds ahead of Robinson to complete a stunning double. Celebrating a homecoming, world outdoor champion and co-American indoor record holder Chase Ealey had three throws good enough to win the women's shot put, topped by a 19.87m/65-2.25 in the final round. Her winning distance has only ever been bettered by two other American women, and the Los Alamos native gained a measure of revenge against Maggie Ewen, the runner-up who won the 2022 USATF gold in Spokane. Ewen secured the silver here with her 19.41m/63-8.25 in round two and added two more throws beyond 19m. Bronze went to Jessica Woodard at 17.67m/57-11.75. It's been six years since Sam Kendricks won his third straight USATF indoor title in the men's pole vault, but today the old Sam was back. Sitting second behind Jacob Wooten at 5.81m/19-0.75 based on an extra miss at that height, Kendricks then missed twice at 5.86m/19-2.75, a lifetime best height Wooten went over on his first try to tie for No. 10 on the all-time U.S. indoor performer list. A gutsy pass on his third attempt gave Kendricks only one chance to carry on in the competition – a solo try at 5.91m/19-4.75, which would also be a facility record. The two-time world champion and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist who holds the American outdoor record, Kendricks was attempting a height he hadn't cleared since 2020. Bolting down the runway, the 30-year-old Army veteran snaked over the bar and exploded in celebration with a cross-stadium sprint. Wooten missed on three attempts at that height and ended up with silver, while bronze went to KC Lightfoot, also at 5.86m/19-2.75. Running in lanes three and five in the final of the women's 60m hurdles, Alaysha Johnson and Tonea Marshall were inseparable through the five barriers, with only a lean by Johnson being the difference as she won in 7.83, .02 ahead of Marshall, who scored a lifetime best with that 7.85. Taliyah Brooks was close to the duo through three hurdles but clattered the fourth barrier and went down, opening the way for Amber Hughes to take bronze in a PB 8.01. Last summer's NACAC 110m hurdles champion, Freddie Crittenden, and 2021 NCAA 110mH champion Robert Dunning copied the women's hurdlers in the men's race and went over each barrier with nothing between them. Crittenden's lean at the line earned him gold and his first indoor national title in 7.49, just .004 ahead of Dunning, who also clocked 7.49 as both men garnered lifetime bests. Louis Rollins came through for the bronze in 7.63. Likely battling jet lag after flying in from Liévin, France, where she won the women's pole vault with a world-leading 4.83m/15-10 on Wednesday, reigning Olympic and World Championships gold medalist Katie Moon made her way over 4.80m/15-9 on her second attempt to win her third USATF indoor gold and her first since 2019. Silver was earned by Emily Grove's lifetime best 4.66m/15-3.5, and Bridget Williams was the bronze medalist at 4.61m/15-1.5. World Indoor bronze medalist and two-time defending champion Bryce Hoppel used a salty stretch run to overtake Isaiah Harris and win his third straight national title in the men's 800m, stopping the clock at 1:45.92. After Vince Crisp pulled the field through 400m in 51.63, Harris turned on the jets and went to the front with a bold move down the backstretch. Hitting the bell at 1:18.40, Harris tried to maintain the lead, but he lost steam in the final 50m and Hoppel went past to relegate him to silver in 1:46.42, with Crisp earning bronze in 1:46.74. A new champion was crowned in the women's 800m, with Nia Akins winning a spirited sprint for home in an indoor lifetime best of 2:00.16, edging Allie Wilson and Kaela Edwards. The early pace was set by Laurie Barton, who led the field through 400m 59.09 before Edwards took over and went by 600m in 1:29.87. Edwards tried to hold on in front, but couldn't repel the late efforts by Akins and Wilson. Akins used a 29.71 final lap to beat Wilson, who finished in an indoor PB 2:00.33 off a 29.83 last 200. Edwards took bronze in an indoor PB 2:00.52. Arizona State's Justin Robinson capitalized on a way-too-fast opening 200m by Trevor Bassitt in the men's 400m and went past Noah Williams to win in 45.40, .29 ahead of Williams. Bassitt, the World Indoor silver medalist last year and a bronze medalist in the 400m hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, went out very hard and hit the halfway point at 20.88, basically on world record pace. He held on to his lead until he entered the homestretch, where his legs just couldn't keep up the pace, and ended up fourth. A somewhat sleepy men's shot put woke up halfway through when Joe Kovacs powered the 16-pound ball out to 20.95m/68-8.75, whereupon Tripp Piperi snatched the lead with a big 21.05m/69-0.75 season best. Arizona's Jordan Geist took the lead away from Piperi in the next round with a 21.36m/70-1 season best, leaving all the pressure on Kovacs to come through on his final attempt. The 2022 Diamond League champion and second-best thrower in history did, pushing the shot out to 21.55m/70-8.5, a season best that gave him his first USATF indoor gold. Geist walked away with silver, and Piperi earned bronze. The safest bet of the meet might have been American outdoor record holder Keturah Orji in the women's triple jump, and she didn't disappoint with a 14.31m/46-11.5 in round one to defend her title and win a third career USATF indoor gold. Orji ended any doubts with her opening jump, leaving the field more than a meter behind, and she added one more effort beyond 14m for good measure. An exciting final two laps in the women's 1,500m saw Nikki Hiltz win their first national indoor title in 4:17.10. Hiltz and Sage Hurta-Klecker broke away from the pack after the 1,100m mark and waged a spirited battle around the oval that was only settled in the final 20m when Hiltz eased ahead and broke the tape. Hurta-Klecker took silver in 4:17.26, with Krissy Gear earning bronze in 4:18.21. Collegian Addy Wiley made the early pace as the field stayed relatively bunched up, yielding the lead only with a couple laps remaining. The men's 1,500m followed the same script as the women for much of the race, leaving it up to the final lap to determine the winner. 2020 champion Josh Thompson and Sam Prakel engaged in a sprint finish, with Thompson coming out on top to win in 3:42.31, with Prakel second in 3:42.62. Thompson was subsequently disqualified to give Prakel the win, his second of the Championships after a 3,000m victory yesterday. Henry Wynne grabbed the silver in 3:42.90, with John Reniwiecki elevated to bronze in 3:44.09. Texas A&M-Commerce senior J.T. Smith was a surprise winner of the men's 60m, clipping .03 off his lifetime best to take gold in 6.53. Smith, who also plays football at the Texas school, turned back Kendal Williams, who was second in a season best 6.59, and Northern Iowa's Isaiah Trousil, who took bronze in 6.61. Last year's USATF outdoor champion and World Championships fifth-place finisher Shelby McEwen had a clean card in the men's high jump through 2.21m/7-3 and then needed a second attempt at 2.24m/7-4.25 to earn his first national indoor title. His World Championships teammate, Darius Carbin, earned silver with a first-attempt clearance at 2.21m/7-3, with bronze going to Jordan Wesner at the same height. NACAC champion and World Championships qualifier Will Williams dominated the men's long jump with three jumps beyond 8m, including a lifetime best of 8.20m/26-11 in the third round. *Pending verification by the USATF Records Committee.
