The record-breaking runner came first in the event, finishing in a time of 20.57 seconds. His teammates Jack Marshall and Jalen Drayden were right behind him in second and third place with respective times of 21.17 and 21.21 seconds respectively. 

According to the US Track and Field Coaches Association poll, Texas Tech is the best team in NCAA track and field. There’s no doubt that Jones’ and his teammates’ performance in Kansas played a role in achieving that ranking.
