The 2023 NCAA Championships are in the books and Graham Blanks of Harvard got a convincing win as Parker Valby of Florida was dominant, and so were Dave Smith's Oklahoma State men, while the NC State women edged NAU thanks to some heroics by Katelyn Tuohy.
We break it all down, plus have the best thing in running, thread, email and post of the week, and debate Katelyn Tuohy's possible pro contract.
