AUSTIN, Texas - Pippi Lotta Enok wrapped up a dominating season as the heptathlon national champion Saturday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The women's squad finished with 18 points and a 12th-place finish for the best placement since 2012 and fourth best all-time. The men racked up 11 points for 22nd.

Lotta Enok finished with 6,165 points, tallying a new school record. She locked in four new personal records in high jump, shot put, 200-meter dash and 800-meter run. With the win, she becomes the first Sooner to win a multis title.

Senior Kennedy Blackmon took silver and first team All-America honors in the 100-meter dash to claim a season-best time at 10.87. She returned to the track to run in the 200-meter dash and crossed the line at 22.53 for second team All-America honors.

Vernon Turner opened day three by finishing his OU career with a second-place finish, making him a four-time first team NCAA Outdoor All-American. He leaves his time as a Sooner with five Big 12 titles, a national title and as a school-record holder. He cleared 7-5.25 (2.27m) to take silver.

On the other side of a career, freshman Brandon Green Jr. added second team All-American to his resume after leaping 52-8.25 (16.06m) in triple jump and moved to the No. 7 distance in OU history.
