A stunning performance at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships saw Auburn junior Ja’Kobe Tharp shatter the world record in the 110-meter hurdles, clocking an astonishing 12.75 seconds.
This remarkable feat, achieved during the semifinal round on Day 1, marks the first time an individual has broken a world record at the NCAA championships in 50 years, a milestone last reached by Dwight Stones in the high jump.
