BYU’s women, men’s track teams take 1st in the DMR at Big 12 Championship

BYU’s men and women’s track team dominated in the DMR race, claiming the titles of Big 12 DMR Champions in Lubbock, Texas.

The men’s team came in first by just over two whole seconds. The race was run by Carter Cutting, Brayden Dahl, Brayden Packard, and Tayvon Kitchen. Two of which hold BYU all-time records in other indoor events.

The Cougars were in the lead for the majority of the race, dropping as low as third then fourth in the initial laps, but quickly found their spot at the head of the pack.

Kitchen sealed the win crossing the finish line at 9:38.98.

This was the first BYU men’s Big 12 DMR title since joining the conference in 2023.

The women’s team won their DMR race by just over eight seconds and set a new facility record in that event.

The race was run by Taylor Rohatinsky, Kali McEuen, Krystie Solomon-Jensen, and Jenna Hutchins. This was the first time that this squad had raced with each other.

Hutchins anchored the Cougars and stamped their win with a time of 11:11.95.

These titles are two of seven Big 12 titles the Cougars are bringing back to Provo.
