Nine Track & Field Medalists Collect Outdoor All-SEC Honors
May 22, 2025 | Track & Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference office announced that nine members of the Tennessee track & field program received all-conference honors after their respective performances last week at the 2025 SEC Outdoor Championships.
Individual and relay conference champions were named first team All-SEC recipients, while silver medalists and bronze medalists earned second- and third-team honors, respectively.
Tennessee had one freshman and one relay squad collect first team All-SEC accolades after title-winning performances at the outdoor conference meet. UT rookie Saad Hinti claimed the men's 400-meter hurdles crown in his SEC Championship debut with a lifetime-best and Moroccan national record time of 48.44 seconds – which currently ranks second overall in the NCAA. The men's 4x100-meter relay crew of Deron Dudley, Davonte Howell, Kalib Branch and T'Mars McCallum also secured gold for the Vols with a school-record mark of 38.20 seconds – setting a 2025 collegiate lead and ranking UT as the No. 6 program in the event all-time.
Redshirt junior Cade Gray earned second team All-SEC recognition with his second-place finish in the men's pole vault, clearing an outdoor lifetime-best of 5.55 meters (18-2.5). His runner-up result marked UT's best finish in the pole vault at the SEC Outdoor Championships since 2016.
The Big Orange posted three individual third-place finishes at the 2025 SEC Outdoor Championships, and all three athletes received All-SEC third team recognition for their performances. Freshman Nick Reynolds earned bronze in the men's javelin with a lifetime-best toss of 76.69 meters (251-7), ranking as the No. 2 U.S. under-20 performance all-time. Zach Jaeger tabbed a third-place finish with a courageous kick down the home stretch of the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, clocking in at 8:45.40 to win UT's first medal in the event since 2022. On the third and final day of the conference meet, Lady Vol rookie Donna Douglas took third in the discus with her sixth-round effort of 56.45m (185-2).
