WILL LICON! The Texas senior just unloaded over the final 25 yards to take the win with a 50.68 -- becoming the second fastest performer in history behind Kevin Cordes. The defending champion, Fabian Schwingenschloegl of Mizzou, was out at the 50 like a bat out of hell in 23.46 -- under Cordes' record pace -- and still held the lead at the 75, but Licon blazed home over the final 25 yards to get his hand on the wall first. Schwingenschloegl touched second in 50.77 and Carsten Vissering of Southern Cal picked up the bronze in 51.40.
