Bassitt, a senior from Bluffton, Ohio, was all over the board at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships, scoring 29.5 points for the Eagles as they won the national championship.
At the conclusion of his three preliminary rounds on Friday, Bassitt ran the 400 leg on the DMR that finished fifth. Then on Saturday, he kicked off his day with a third place finish in the 60 (6.76) before claiming three straight national titles. He won the 60H (7.83), 200 (20.48) and anchored the victorious 4×400 (3:10.15) with a 45.52 split.
It was a record breaking season for Bassitt. His winning time of 20.48 in the 200 this past weekend set the official NCAA DII record in the event, as he already owned the all-conditions best of 20.40 clocked at the GLIAC Championships. He also set the NCAA DII record in the 400 at 45.27 and is the No. 2 performer all-time in the 60H (7.67).
