AUBURN, Ala. — Seven Auburn track and field athletes earned All-Southeastern Conference honors, the league office announced Tuesday. Five earned first-team honors including Kayinsola Ajayi, Tyler Davis, Azeem Fahmi, Austin Kresley and Ja’Kobe Tharp. Alyssa Quinones-Mixon was named second-team All-SEC, while Irael Okon earned third-team recognition.
The first team consists of the top finisher in each event. The second team consists of the second-place finisher in each event. The third team consists of the third-place finisher in each event. Ties are not broken. If an individual places first in one event and second in another event, they are considered First Team All-SEC (not first and second). Same rules apply for a second and third-place finisher in different events.
Tharp won his second 110m hurdles SEC title, equaling the fastest time in the world in 2026, tied his school record, and set a meet and facility record with his time of 13.05. The SEC champion in the event as a freshman, Tharp is the first Auburn male to win multiple SEC outdoor titles in the same event since Stephen Saenz won the shot put in 2011 and 2012.
Auburn’s quartet of Fahmi, Ajayi, Kresley, and Davis won the program’s first 4x100m SEC outdoor title since 1997, running an NCAA leading 38.07 to easily outdistance LSU by 28 hundredths of a second. The win was the fourth in program history, also joining the 1977 and 1978 winning relays.
Quinones-Mixon recorded her best performance in her AU career at the outdoor championships with her silver medal performance after equaling a career-best 4.36m/14-3.50. It was the third consecutive scoring performance for the San Antonio native after finishing fourth and fifth the previous two years.
Okon claimed bronze in the men’s 200m after running a personal-best 20.10. The time moved Okon into a tie for No. 3 on the school performers list and his podium finish was the third consecutive for the Tigers at the SEC meet.
Auburn's next competition will be the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds, May 27-30, in Lexington, Kentucky, on the University of Kentucky campus. The nation's top 48 competitors from the east and west regions of the country will qualify for the NCAA Prelims, with the top 12 from those meets advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June.
