Great news. Also an event in which we do not currently score well. I have been expecting Henry to start pulling in men's recruits on a level with the women and maybe it is starting. The new facility has to help. It certainly shows a high level of commitment to the program.

People think Henry isn't pulling in recruits on the men's side b/c of his recruiting ranking on that side but it is very misleading. He has transfers and late signees and weird additions that have made the team very strong. We have a great men's team that may not show up in the recruiting rankings but just look at where the pollsters are predicting us to finish this year. 2nd in the nation.

awesome news!

Thought this was going to be a Holden thread about McGuffie.

I don't mess around when it comes to track.

I wish Henry's club garnered more attention around here. They ARE big time already and they will only get bigger in the future.

I had not heard of this commitment. This is incredible! We desperately need excellent male hurdlers and he sounds like he may be the best.

Our best two -- Nick Robinson & Cade Liverman – were seniors last year.

His desire to attend Aggieland was probably greatly influenced by former female Athlete of the Year - Gabby Mayo. She is a graduate of Southeast HS in Raleigh.

Holden not trolling...

Looks like we are also going to sign the top female hurdler in the country. Donique Flemings has committed to A&M. She is currently the national leader in the 60M Hurdles.

Who's McGuffie?

"Get your licks in while you can..."

Holden, you going to indoor meet on the 31st of Jan (after men's basketball game)?

Unfortunately no. School has really got me by the balls right now.

Gabby Mayo, Vashti Thomas, & Donique Flemings on the same team!! Incredible!!!!!!!!

Anyone know why Vashti Thomas has not run yet?

Good interview /w Davis.

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Idmmjb,

Neither of San Jose, California superstars Vashti Thomas and Jeneba Tarmoh has run this season. Hope nothing is wrong with either of them. They are listed on the roster. If they do not run this weekend, I will start to get worried. They are incredibly gifted.

Holden, you can’t skip this meet.

The athletic department release refers to Thomas making her debut tomorrow. Great, looking forward to seeing her perform.

Yes! According to the Start List, Vashti Thomas will make her Aggie debut Saturday by participating in the 60mH and the triple jump.

Jessica Beard will not run her specialty – the 400m. She will run in the 60m, 200m, and 4x400 races.

Unfortunately, Jeneba Tarmoh is not scheduled to participate.

Not much choice. If I ever want to graduate with that fancy M.D. after my name I'm going to have to start treating school at least mildly seriously.

I already have mine so I can take it a little easier. It is well worth the studying. But I rarely missed going to G Rollie for a BB game.

Friday Heptathlon (6 women) and Pentathlon (7 men) competition.
