2025 REWIND: In Tennessee's third season under head coach Duane Ross, the Vols and Lady Vols totaled 35 All-America honors, 14 SEC medals and 14 program records over the course of the indoor and outdoor seasons. The men's squad was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally during the regular outdoor season, while the women rose to No. 10 during the outdoor campaign.

For the second time in three years, the Big Orange carded multiple top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championship meets. The Lady Vols tied for 15th at the indoor national meet, while the Vols equaled 14th place in the team standings at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Tennessee totaled four individual/relay conference titles during the 2025 campaign, beginning with Blake Sifferlin (men's pole vault) and Myreanna Bebe (women's 60-meter hurdles) claiming SEC crowns at the indoor championship meet with marks of 5.50m (18-0.5) and 7.95 seconds, respectively. The men's 4x100-meter relay quartet of Deron Dudley, Davonte Howell, Kalib Branch and T'Mars McCallum earned the conference title in school-record fashion with a time of 38.20 at the SEC Outdoor Championships, while Vol freshman Saad Hinti took home UT's first SEC gold in the 400-meter hurdles in nearly four decades with a time of 48.44.

UP NEXT: After the holiday break, UT will begin a six-week march to the 2026 indoor postseason. The Big Orange returns to action Jan. 9-10 at the Clemson Invitational.
