Â
Cincinnati won its first men's team title and UCF repeated as women's team champions with 143 and 132.25 points, respectively.
Â
The sophomore from Barcelona, Spain scored 5,641 heptathlon points over the two-day competition, recording top marks in five of the seven events. He improved his No. 5 all-time WSU mark in the event and repeated as the AAC indoor champion.
Nate Vann joined him on the podium with 4,999 points for a third-place finish with both Shockers earning all-conference honors. The heptathlon group scored a total of 26 points for the team with
Hudson Bailey,
Kolby Caster and
Wyatt Leutzinger placing fourth, sixth and seventh, respectively.
Â
Navajon also earned all-conference honors in the 60-meter hurdles, placing third with a time of 8.08 in between heptathlon events after breaking the meet record in the heptathlon 60-meter hurdles (8.12) earlier in the day.
Â
As the lone Shocker woman to make a running event final,
Farrah Miller raced to the third-fastest 800-meter time in school history, running 2:08.80 to place third and earn all-conference recognition.
Â
In the men's high jump,

Palen cleared 2.20m/7'2.5" for second place, and Lewis joined the seven-foot club with a personal-best clearance of 2.14m/7'0.25" for third.
