What?

Seems to be gone now. Was congratulating a trini kid on signing with the good guys out of the juco. Well credentials kid, perhaps juco champ

The JUCO indoor and outdoor champion in 2015 in the 400 is Jereem Richards. He is from Trinidad. Indoor best is 46.49 and outdoor is 45.91. He also has a indoor best of 21.06 in 200m and 20.59 in the outdoor 200m. This would be a good recruit if he did indeed sign with the Aggies.

Kayla Denwood, Middle Distance runner out of Illinois signed with the Aggies.

Aldrich Bailey ran last night at the USATF Outdoor Track & Field Championships and placed 4th in his heat in a time of 46.10. He did not advance to the semi finals.
He was clad in full University of Texas uniform which confirms he will be running for them next season

Any news of any incoming transfers?

Looks like Zamzow transferred to tu since she was wearing tu gear at the Pan Am Jrs. LSU has Christian Brennan and Ark has Nikki Hiltz coming in from Oregon.

Cross Country Roster is up. On the women side we have two transfers in Arin Rice from TCU and Katie Watson from Texas

http://12thman.com/roster.aspx?path=cross

Saw this yesterday but didn't have time to start a new thread.

Aldrich Bailey is listed on Texas Roster 2015-2016 as a junior
Sierra Patrick as a junior
Ashtin Zamzow as a sophomore

http://www.texassports.com/roster.aspx?path=xc_tf

Their roster has about 10 university transfers and 1 JUCO transfer

Baisden is still missing from their roster? Hmmm...

Ed: Just checked the student directory and she's not listed.

The JUCO transfer is the women 400m junior college championship 2015 and Jamaican World championship 4x400 gold medalist having ran a leg in the semi finals. Another top 400m runner they have added to their roster. I think she had earlier this year committed to Alabama but have switched to Texas

Noticeable absent from their 2015-2016 Roster is one of their top 400m runner in Kendall Baisden.

I did a search to see if she transferred but only came up with comments from a blog on Lets Run. See below. I don't know if this is true

• 
  
  • Did she Tansfer? She is no longer listed on Texas' Roster.

• All signs point to Austin

    Not listed because she has had talks with a agent and that is against NCAA rules. These agents are scum to deprive a kid of a education so they can make a buck..

    This is no kid from the hood. She comes from an upper-class family. It's unlikely she was swayed by a few bucks.

OH WELL!!! According to Grime's twitter page he is headed to Texas Tech.

Trayvon Bromell goes pro and signs with PACE Sports Management

http://pacesportsmanagement.com/news/trayvon-bromell-signs-with-pace-sports-management/

Last year's roster was up in early November? Anyone know when we may see who is "officially" running, jumping and throwing in '16. Less than a months to the Reveille Invitational!

It was up in early November but they kept on adding names every week until the Winter Break. Maybe they're waiting until later so it's "complete"???

FYI Baisden went pro.

A lot of Newcomers will be on the Aggie Roster this year. It would be an interesting year. This is how I see the team based on previous track roster postings.

400m, 400 hurdles, 4x400
On the men side this year with alot of newcomers in the 400m. Eric Age, Richard Rose, Fred Kerley (JUCO transfer), Bryce Deadmon and hurdlers Dewitt Thomas and Robert Grant and Junior Deon Hickey. None of these guys have run 45 plus. Three guys have run 46 plus, the other are 47 plus guys. Robert Grant is 51 plus in the 400m hurdles and the other hurdlers include Dewitt Thomas, Ilolo Izu and Tanner Moseley

The women seems interesting with
Jarra Owens (54+), Briyahna Desrosiers (53+), Marcquital Stalbert (53+) and the Hurdlers Shamier Little (51+ in 400m and 53+ in hurdles) and Ebony Crear (54+ in 400m). Shamier should again win the 400m hurdles

100m, 200m, 4x100m
On the men side Devon Jenkins, Elijah Morrow and Newcomers Reggie Garner, Aaron Simms, Edwards Davis and possibly footballer Jay Bradford. Senior Devin Jenkin should be the main guy to score for us. He had a 10.14 and 20.16 before transferring to A&M

On the women side there are lots of talented sprinters with Jennifer Madu, Aaliyah Brown, Krystal Sparling, Diamond Spauling, Brenessa Thompson, and soccer player Alleandra Watt and Glorilisha Carter (sprint and jumps). Expecting Senior Jennifer Madu and Aaliyah Brown to be the potential scorers

Middle Distance
On the men side there is Donavan Brazier, Efraim Hernandez, Hector Hernandez, Ian Cazares, Cameron Cardwell etc. Donavan Brazier is definitely a potential scorer

On the women side Katie Willard, Miah Nelson, Jazmine Fray, Kayla Denwood, Danielle Haas and Karina Buerk. Descent group of middle distance runner. Hope we can have a breakthrough year for a couple of them. To score you need to be running at about 2.03.00 in the 800m. If we can achieve this it would help us also in recruiting top 800m runners. So far the top 800m runners from Texas have again refused to come A&M but I feel this group can be the turning point in the 800m for us. Katie (2.07), Miah Nelson (2.12), Jazmine Fray (2.09)

High Jump
Freshman Alyssa Kallies (US 23rd) 5' 9 (1.75), Kara Erickson, Makenzie Smajstrla and Heather Gillin on the women side. Kara Erickson has not done well the past two seasons and this year I hope she and the others really come good.

On the men side Samuel McSwain and Garret Cragin

Long and Triple Jumps
On the men side twins Lathone and Latario CollieMinns, Jeffrey Prothro and possibly Jay Bradford will be main athletes in the jumps. We are counting on the twins to score in both jumps for us both indoors and outdoors

On the women side Jennifer Madu, Glorilisha Carter, baskeball player Anriel Howard and Andrea Nwachukwu.
Not sure if Laque MoenDavis is still at A&M

Pole Vault
This has become one of our better events
On the men side we have a very good group with Chase Wolfle, Audie Wyatt, Carl Johansson and freshman Jacob Wooten. All over 17', There is also Colin Padalecki (15' 9") only vaulting two seasons now. Also Kevin Skull and Marcus Orzabal based on last year;s roster. Plenty of potential scorers in the Pole Vault. All we need is consistency from them.

On the women side we have a solid group of Brittany Wooten, and the sophomores Sara-Kathryn Stevens and Emily Gunderson who have improved tremendously.

Throws
Great expectations from Shelbi Vaughn in her senior year in the Discuss and Freshman Celine Markert (US no. 13 in Discuss)
Very good Javelin throwers in Maggie Malone, Kristen Clark and Kendal Munoz.
Hammer throwers include Alison Ondrusek, Bailey Simmons and Cariissa van Beek

On the men side we have
Jeff Bartlett and freshman Brody Gowing in the Discuss and shot put
John Kyriazis and Sam Hardin in the Javelin. Possibly throwing is also multi athlete Lindon Victor
Austin Cook in the hammer

Distance
On the men side we have Austin Wells, Cameron Villarreal, Alex Riba together with the talented freshmen Eli Canal and Hendrix Logan and the rest of the cross country team.

On the women side, Karis Jochen is a potential scorer at SEC and hoping at NCAA. The others are Kelsie Warren (if fit and not red-shirting), Arin Rice and the rest of the cross country team

We interesting team make up this year with a lot of newcomers. What is important is that the coaches have recruited several athletes in every event which would help build some of our weaker events. Also we have a lot of sprinters so we can have separate 4x100 and 4x400 relays which would reduce some people doubling relays and in their respective events. This is a good move with the new format of the NCAA outdoor meet with all finals being run on one day for men and another day for the women.

If anyone knows about any other transfers in or out for 2015-2016 please post.
Thanks

Smajstrla transferred to Houston and MoenDavis isn't enrolled. Don't count on Bradford - he's coming back from an injury.

Andre De Grasse signs pro deal with Puma and would forego his senior year of NCAA eligibility

In the state of Texas. it is very interesting that Houston has out recruited us on men side and tu on the women side. Texas Tech is also doing a good job of recruiting on the men side.


We have a couple of years to build the track stadium. If I can recall I think we host the SEC outdoor championship 2019

With the Reveille Invite only 5 days away triniaggie posted a very timely preview of what we might expect from this year's team. THANK YOU! A couple of additions to the team that I am aware of. The men have apparently
picked up 2 long hurdle transfers. I understand that both Kris Brander (Seven Lakes HS) with a best of 52.72 has left Iowa State for College Station, as has Jackson Davis (TAMU-CC) who has run 52.72. I believe they both have 2 years of eligibility left. With good coaching they at least project to possibly score at the conference meet. I also understand that Sabrien Wheeler (DeSoto HS) a pretty fair high hurdler (14.20w) is enrolled as a freshman. I expect we may see a roster shortly and will be better able to make assessments about the coming year.

I forgot to discuss the sprint hurdles.

Sabrien Wheeler also has a descent indoor 60mH time of 8.18 (US #61) and he is only running hurdles two seasons now. Also Ilolo Izu has a 14.49 in 110m hurdles

On the women side we have Chinyere Njoku who was the Georgia 4A state champion in the 100m hurdles.
She has best times
100m hurdles - 13.82 (US #26)
100m - 12.18
200m - 24.62
