History was made by Tiffin University's men's track and field team March 12 as the Dragons were crowned NCAA Division II Men's Champions, finishing second in the day's final race to push them over the top for first place. It is the first NCAA Championship by any team in Tiffin University's history.

Tiffin University finished with 49 points while Adams State was next with 47. The Dragons had trailed 47-41 entering the 4x400 relay race. TU needed to place first or second to win the championship, and the team of Michael King, Lamar Hargrove, Macerio Clark, and Joel Johnson did not disappoint. They ran a blistering time of 3:10.59, good for 2nd overall and just one-tenth of a second out of first. The 8 points awarded for the second place finish gave TU the national championship.

"This championship is for the entire Tiffin community," said Head Coach Jeremy Croy. "We have received so much support from the university administration throughout the years. My family, all our alum, previous coaches, faculty support...These are the things we are thinking about right now. It is the culmination of a 16 year marathon."

It was the final piece of a strong day for the Dragons, who totaled nine more All-American performances on Saturday following the three All-American showings on Friday.

As usual, Lamar Hargrove was at the heart of it all. He won his third consecutive national championship in the 200 meters, running a 20.81 time and beating Mobolade Ajomale of the Academy of Art by .01 second. His time was a new NCAA Championship record, breaking Josh Scott's 2010 time of 20.91. It was also his fifth individual NCAA national championship, an all-time NCAA record for individual award winners. He was also the top point scorer at the event, totaling 20 points and earning three First Team All-American honors (60, 200, 4x400).

Hargrove also took second in the 60 meters in 6.66, while teammate Reginald Thomas was 5th in 6.70. James Ngandu also got the Dragons more team points, finishing 2nd in the 3000 meters in 8:24.15, narrowly missing a first place finish by one second. Dylan Cornwell also garnered All-American honors with a 4th place finish in the pole vault, clearing 16-9.25. All were First Team All-American performances.

Other finishers for the Dragons included Theo Mancheron (13th in pole vault, 14th in heptathlon), Jay Feuerstein (11th in shot put), and Coy Blair (12th in shot put). Feuerstein and Blair landed Second Team All-American honors for their efforts.
