What a run by the ladies. Holy *****

Aggie women take 4th overall.

Looks like the USC runner just tripped over herself.

Fray had a phenomenal day to end her career at A&M. Won the 800 and then had a monster third leg on the 4x400 to propel us into the lead.

In case you missed it.

Five of the top 7 were sec in the women's side.

Congratulations to the ladies! A 4th place finish overall propelled by the magnificent 4 x 400 victory.

Yep; fastest time in the world this year.

Good thing we ran from the front on the last two legs- might have been caught up in that mess with the Carolina- Alabama- Southern Cal wreck.

GREAT race overall.

What a fantastic day for Fray. Anyone know what her split was? And Gittens is so tough. She was out in that brutally hot sun starting about 12:30 and competed in 4 events and ran the 800 7 seconds faster than at the SEC meet. 2 people helped to walk her off the track from the finish line to the south end where the competitors leave the track.

All Stones could talk about was Arky and sc while the Ags were blowing the field away.

Stones and his yapping was relevant to the final point totals and the team championship, but he almost completely forgot we won the event, with a tremendous effort by our women. I was a little pissy about what he didn't say.

I think we can still compete for a championship next year on the women side based on our enormous talent and capability in the jumps but we need some consistency and big meet performances from our jumpers (long jump, triple jump and high jump). Still too many foul jumps. We need performances and consistency like Deborah Acquah. Most of our jumpers could have qualified and scored at NCAA if they near their personal best. We could have scored 25-30 points alone from our jumps. Hopefully next year with some consistency we can do very well in the jumps with all jumpers back.

It was a good interview, as were many of the interviews with the athletes. Which brings me to my opinion that the caliber of student is higher now as opposed to 30+ years ago when I was going through school. I ran here and now officiate and have marveled at how well spoken and intelligent 99% of the athletes participating in track are.

Even the high schoolers are considerate and thankful for their opportunities to run at a facility like A&M's. Gone are the days of the Tim Campbells, thankfully. I hear folks rip the younger generation but I am not worried.
