Coby Hilton and Emmanuel Wells both ran 6.58, with Hilton winning by four-thousandths of a second.

Too close to call! In the closest race of the day, Celera Barnes and Jacious Sears couldn't be separated until the very end, as the pair both ran 7.11. Mikiah Brisco was third in 7.18, her fastest time this season. The 26-year-old handed Sears her first loss of the 2025 season, but both women are looking incredibly strong and will be contenders over 100m later this year. 

2:35. p.m. - Men's 1500m Final

Who else but Hobbs Kessler? Ten minutes after watching Nikki Hiltz notch the 1500m/3000m double, Kessler didn't want to be left of the fun. The 21-year-old raced like a veteran, throwing down a 1:52.99 final 800, running away from Sam Prakel and a charging Luke Houser, who finished in 3:39.14 and 3:29.27. 

When he woke up on Saturday morning, Kessler had never won a national title, but after 24 hours in New York, he now has two to his name. 

2:25 p.m. - Women's 1500m Final

What. A. Race. Not even a day removed from winning the national title over 3000m, mid-distance star Nikki Hiltz did it again, this time in the 1500m. After making the Olympic final in August, Hiltz is right where they left off, running 4:05.76 for their second national title in less than 24 hours. After missing the Olympic team by a spot last summer, Sinclaire Johnson is as determined as ever, and it was clear in her runner-up finish. Johnson finished just ahead of Heather MacLean as the pair finished 4:06.05 and 4:06.69. 

2:18 p.m. - Men's 400m Final

In exhilarating fashion, Chris Bailey kept his cool and ran his way to his first national title in 45.21, winning by just under half of a second. Once the field came through 200m, all six men made an immediate move towards lane one and nearly caused a bit of chaos. While Bailey won gold, Jacory Patterson and Elija Godwin took the next two spots on the podium in 45.60 and 46.09.

2:09 p.m. - Men's 800m Final

1:53 p.m. - Women's 400m Final

From the moment the gun went off, this race was all Alexis Holmes.

11:00 a.m. - Men's High Jump Final

Vernon Turner helped get the second and final day of the USATF off and running, winning his first national title after clearing 7-4.5, his best this season.
