Speechless.

He also placed 44th at the national cross country meet! And he's only a sophomore!!! This could be the difference between winning a national title

In one semester we've signed the best female distance class in school history and a top 2/3 all-time individual men's distance signee in the history of the program (Barrios/Lelei). Plus three Kenyans after only having one ever (Lelei)!

To say our distance program is on the upswing is a massive understatement. Couple that with the fact that most SEC schools do not emphasize distance -- this might be our way back to challenging for SEC/NCAA titles.

If Issam Asinga competes we will be national champions

Well not sure about that one, maybe can get us 14-16 points..which is great for an individual, we will still need to go finals in the 4x1, 4x4, have others score in the short sprints plus have a strong 400/400 hurdles showing in addition to help on the fields side.. with the team that is returning plus the additions, it is very possible…but there is no grant Holloway…40 point scorer on the team or even close to that..If we are to win it all, it will definitely need to be a team effort… the caveat here is…if he is not able to run, the team can still take it all… we should still have 100,200,4x1, hurdles, 400, and 4x4 possibilities of scoring points plus any points on the fields side…last years group has made some noticeable improvements, especially on the sprints side I think…

SAN JUANITA LEAL IS AN AGGIE! She is one of the state and nations best and comes from a great great family! I've seen her run many track meets and I'm familiar with her coaches! A&M made a huge run for recruitment late! She will be a force in the maroon and white the second she steps foot on campus! She's the 6A state runner up in cross country and defending state champion in the mile and 2 mile! There's been many runners in her city that run for Ut, glad she's an Aggie! She has PR's of:

800 - 2:13
1500 - 4:28
1600 - 4:47
3000 - 9:53
3200 - 10:16
5k XC - 16:57

Friend of mine has a daughter up for track athlete of the week. She's committed to A&M next year. She just broke the Texas state record in the 2k steeple chase, has the number 1 time this year nationwide and the number 25 time all-time nationwide. She is in heated race with a girl going to Harvard out of NYC. COME ON AGS, let's show them what our network can do!
