LUBBOCK, TEXAS – Sports fans, take a bow—history has been made in West Texas! In an electrifying display of grit, talent, and sheer will, Texas Tech University has just been crowned the No. 1 collegiate athletic program in the nation for 2025, delivering a year of dominance unlike anything we’ve seen in NCAA history.
This isn’t just about one sport, one moment, or one headline. Texas Tech is now the only school in the country to win a national title, reach the Final Four, compete in the Women’s College World Series, host a softball regional, and play in a football bowl game—all in the same year.
Let that sink in. Across the board, from courts to diamonds to gridirons, the Red Raiders didn’t just compete—they conquered.
National Champions & Final Four Firepower
The crown jewel of Tech’s historic run? The Men’s Track & Field team brought home a national championship, capping off a record-breaking season with flair and pride. Meanwhile, Tech Men’s Basketball stormed into the Final Four with a Cinderella-style journey that turned doubters into believers and had the nation glued to every buzzer-beater.
⚫ Women Leading the Charge
Texas Tech Softball wasn’t about to be left out. Behind a powerhouse lineup and fearless pitching, they charged into the Women’s College World Series, showing the nation what Raider pride looks like. Hosting a NCAA regional and making a deep postseason run, the Lady Raiders proved that Lubbock is now a destination for elite softball talent.
Football Fights On
In the fall, Red Raider Football brought the fire, earning a bowl berth and racking up key wins that had Jones AT&T Stadium rocking all season long. With a high-octane offense and a defense that stepped up when it mattered most, Tech’s gridiron success added another notch to this year’s historic belt.
