The 2019 SEC Track & Field Championships featured a dramatic finish in the 400-meter hurdle.
Texas A&M's Infinite Tucker was neck-and-neck with his teammate Robert Grant on the final leg of the race. After clearing the final hurdle, Tucker approached the finish line and dived across it, going full Superman, to narrowly beat Grant.
He won the title.
"Honestly, I'm glad I got the win and competed against the best," Tucker told the Aggies official website afterward. "Me and my teammates all worked hard for this, and I came out with the win. I'm happy and thankful for that. The mindset was to score as many points as possible, we wanted to go 1-2-3-4. It really didn't matter which one of us won first place, we knew if we gave it our all we would be happy with each other."
Texas A&M track and field coach Pat Henry added: "I've told Tucker you can't get there faster diving, just run through and you'll be fine. He thought he was a swim team guy today."
