June 20, 2025 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State combined events athlete Peyton Bair adds another award to his extensive resume, after being voted the USTFCCCA South Region Field Athlete of the Year.
In a vote consisting of U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association member coaches, Bair was selected for the honor against the other Division I schools in the South Region.
Bair has cemented himself amongst the greats during this outdoor season, capped off by taking the decathlon national title and two collegiate records at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
His record-breaking performance of 8,323 points at the championships beat the field by over 400 points and was the 14th highest score in collegiate history. Bair is the seventh man in NCAA history to sweep the heptathlon and decathlon in the same season.
Bair was also named the USTFCCCA South Region Indoor Field Athlete of the Year earlier this season after taking home the heptathlon title at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Bair will compete at the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships later this summer, with the hopes of representing Team USA at the World Championships in Tokyo later this year. Â
