The University of South Florida men's track and field team made history at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships, held June 11–14 at Hayward Field, by capturing the program's first-ever national title in the men's 4x400-meter relay and securing a top-15 finish in the team standings.

The Bulls' 4x400m relay squad — Devontie Archer, Alexavier Monfries, Corey Ottey and Gabriel Moronta — closed out the final day of competition in emphatic fashion, claiming the national title with a program-record time of 3:00.42. The blistering performance earned the quartet First-Team All-American honors and delivered a historic moment for USF track and field.

Monfries and Moronta powered the win with the two fastest splits of the championship final, clocking 44.11 and 44.23, respectively.

"This is a monumental moment for our program and these young men earned every bit of it," said USF Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Erik Jenkins. "They ran with heart, poise and purpose on the biggest stage in collegiate track and field. To bring home our first national title and place among the nation's top teams is a testament to the commitment and character of our entire group."

USF's success extended well beyond the relay. The Bulls' 4x100m relay team — featuring Shomari Pettigrew, Jaleel Croal, Monfries and Abdul-Rasheed Saminu — also earned First-Team All-American honors after placing fourth with a time of 38.73.

In field events, Vincent Ugwoke earned First-Team All-American honors with a seventh-place finish in the discus throw, recording a mark of 60.58 meters (198-9).

Individually, Saminu claimed First-Team All-American honors in the 200m dash with a time of 20.55, and Second-Team All-American honors in the 100m dash after posting a 10.11. The Ghana native now owns three All-American honors at the 2025 championships alone.

Croal earned Second-Team All-American status in the 200m (20.58) and honorable mention in the 100m (10.38) to close out a strong showing on the national stage.
Overall, South Florida totaled 18 points to finish 14th in the final team standings — one of just two non-Power Four programs (alongside New Mexico) to finish in the top 15.
