BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tulsa's Isaac Akers and Scott Beattie set meet records, while Katharina Pesendorfer took first in the 3,000-meter run, her third victory of the indoor season, as the Golden Hurricane women finished third and the men finished fourth to wrap up the final day of the 2022 American Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships.
