serious post: what's happened to longhorn track? their women scored 3 points, the men tallied 15 today at nationals.

The rise of Aggie track brought on by the hiring of Pat Henry.

The notion that tu has not done well lately is an understatement:

2009-10 Indoor: Women - 7th, Men - 6th
2010 Outdoor: Women - 3rd, Men - 7th

However, they are getting better. Look at the people on their roster who went to the 2010 NCAA Championship outdoor meet. This is a large & varied group and most are freshmen or sophomores.

WOMEN:
400m - Stacey-Ann Smith, So
5K - Mia Behm, So
400H - Angele Cooper, So
High jump - Victoria Lucas, So
Discus throw - Okwukwe Okolie, So
Long jump & Triple jump - Chantel Malone, Jr
Shot put - Jordyn Brown, Sr
4x400- Alicia Peterson (Fr), Stacey-Ann Smith (So), Angele Cooper (So), Chantel Malone (Jr)

MEN:
110H - Keiron Stewart, Fr
Pole vault - Hayden Clark, Fr
Long jump - Marquise Goodwin, Fr
Shot put - Hayden Baillio, Fr
Shot put - Jacob Thormaehlen, So
High jump - Jamal Wilson, Jr
4x400 - Andre Thomas (Jr), Danzell Fortson (Jr), Jonathan Collins (Jr), Tevas Everett (Sr)

They have not recruited nearly as well as Coach Henry and his staff has. In addition, some of the better ones have not performed as well as expected.

And no pure sprinters or 4X100 relay team on the women's side. tu won the first 10 Big12 women's 4X100 relay championships. A&M has won the last 4 and how many in a row now?

MidTnAg - what exactly did you post about tu's outdoor results?

The 2010 Outdoor National results show them as 51st for women and 17th for men.
