NCAA Indoor Championships Men’s Results and Team Scores

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Freshman sensation Edward Cheserek won two titles and Oregon won the men’s team title at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships at Albuquerque Convention Center on Saturday night. Results and team scores for the men at the championships.

Cheserek won the men’s 5000m and 3000m titles with two brilliant runs, as Oregon tallied 62 points to seal the overall team crown, eight more than second place Arkansas, who scored 54 points.

“Overall a great team performance for the men,” Oregon coach Robert Johnson said. “We thought that we were a little bit under-ranked.

“We thought we were better than the scoring tables and all the dope sheets had us at. We just knew that if we got to the meet healthy, we had a great shot.”

Johnson heaped praises on freshman Cheserek.

“Outstanding performances by Edward Cheserek to get two national championships there,” he said. “He’s a hell of an athlete. A great kid, very humble.”

The Florida Gators tallied 35 pts for third, with Florida State (28) and Arizona (24) completing the top five teams at the championship.
