BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ole Miss track & field All-American star senior Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan has won his sixth and final career SEC Men’s Field Athlete of the Year award, as announced by the conference office in their awards release for the outdoor season on Monday.
Robinson-O’Hagan suffered a significant leg injury directly following the SEC Outdoor Championships, prematurely ending his superb career as one of the best all-around throwers in collegiate history and one of the more promising young American prospects in recent memory in both the shot put and hammer.

In his final meet as a Rebel, Robinson-O’Hagan became the winningest men’s athlete in SEC history after his record third consecutive sweep of the shot put and hammer – taking over the men’s record and tying for the overall SEC record across all sports with 13 career individual titles.
The Woonsocket, Rhode Island native leaves Ole Miss with four national titles, 14 All-America awards, his all-time record 13 SEC titles, 14 SEC medals and six SEC Field Athlete of the Year awards with an incredible 75 NCAA points and 144 SEC points scored across his superb career. He also leaves with the collegiate record in combined outdoor shot/hammer distance (98.50m), second all-time in combined indoor shot/weight distance (45.53m), and spots on the collegiate all-time top-25 lists in the shot, weight and hammer after dismantling the Ole Miss record books.
