he Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 13th season in 2008-09. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast 31 team crowns and over 385 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued during 2007-08 as Kansas captured the Big 12’s first national title in men’s basketball, while the league added 31 individual crowns. Over the past four seasons a total of 12 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including each of the past 11 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with five appearances in Bowl Championship Series title games. League squads have played for the football national championship five times in the last nine years with berths in 14 BCS games overall, including two in 2007. The Big 12 led all conferences with four teams ranked in the Top 10 in the final national polls a season ago. In addition, an all-time high eight league players earned consensus All-America recognition in 2007, more than any other conference. In basketball, nine men’s and women’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past seven seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. The six men’s Final Four participants since 2002 is more than any conference. Numerous national honors have been won by basketball student-athletes during the league’s history, with Michael Beasley (Kansas State), D.J. Augustin (Texas) and Courtney Paris (Oklahoma) the most recent to garner accolades as consensus All-America in 2007-08. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic AllAmerica of the Year in volleyball the past two seasons by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Augustin was an Academic All-America First Team choice. In its history, the conference can boast of over 300 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season. The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the field success.
Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate studentathletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 201 scholars have received over $1.2 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 12 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 45 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint. The conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series. In the last several years the Big 12 has increased its bowl agreements and expanded television opportunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN, FSN and CBS College Sports. Most recently, the league renewed and expanded its multi-year arrangement with ABC/ESPN, Inc. The new contract begins in 2008-09. In its first 12 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1 billion to its 12 member institutions. The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in 21 sports. The conference is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

he group of returning Aggie All-Americans includes Elizabeth Adeoti, Jessica Beard, Ashika Charan, Allison George, Porscha Lucas, Christina Munoz, Yasmine Regis, and Sandy Wooten. With a trio of A&M sprinters who earned All-American honors as members of the 4 x 100 relay – Adeoti, Lucas and George – the Aggies enter the 2009 season as two-time defending NCAA Champions in the event, having set school records of 43.05 and 42.59 the past two years in winning those titles. Lucas, the NCAA runner-up in the 200 as well as Big 12 200 Champion indoor and outdoor, is the top returning All-American for the Aggies. She posted the ninth fastest time in the world last season with a 22.29 during the Big 12 Championships in Boulder, Colorado. That mark was also third best among Americans in 2008. An impressive 2008 season for Lucas included being named Performer of the Year in the Big 12. She is also the top returning scorer for the Aggies on the conference level, having scored 16.5 points
indoors and 18.5 outdoors in each Big 12 meet as a sophomore. Lucas enters her junior campaign with nine AllAmerican honors. Jessica Beard, third indoors and fourth outdoors in the 400 at the NCAA Championships, was a double conference champ in her specialty and earned Freshman of the Year honors twice during the Big 12 meets. During the summer Beard claimed her third consecutive U.S. Junior Championship in the 400. Then she earned a silver medal at the World Junior Championships in Poland, where Beard also ran on the gold-medal 4 x 400 relay. Regis and Charan provide an impressive tandem in the long and triple jump for the Aggies. They combined
for 21 points in the Big 12 outdoor meet and 17 during the indoor conference meet. Regis set the school record in the triple jump when she won the Big 12 Outdoor title with a mark of 45-5 ¼. Charan placed fifth at the NCAA Outdoor with a windy 44-3 ½ and reached a career mark of 21-0 in the long jump. In addition to earning All-American for placing 10th in the NCAA 5,000 last season, Munoz claimed a second All-Big 12 honor in cross country this past fall as she qualified for the NCAA field a second consecutive season. Adeoti has run the lead leg of the 4x1 relay the past two seasons while George anchored the relay to victory in 2008 while also contributed conference points in the 60 and 400 indoors as well as the 100 and 200 outdoors. Wooten has been a steady relay leg on the 4x4 the past two years with continued improvement.

Also mentioned in the magazine rankings were Courtnie Allen, Alyson Daily, Tiffany Singleton and Bianca Blair, who competed at South Carolina her freshman season. Texas A&M ranked ahead of Florida State, USC, North Carolina and Stanford. Receiving honorable mention were Texas, LSU, Washington, Georgetown and Nebraska. In 2007 the women’s recruiting class was judged as best in the nation over a field that included UCLA, Florida State, Oregon, and Michigan among the top five schools. Headlining the 2007-08 class were a pair of high school All-Americans in Gabby Mayo, named the 2006 High School Athlete of the Year, and Jessica Beard, a three-time All-America and two-time No. 1 in the 400. In addition the ‘07 class included Allison George, a four-time NJCAA Champion over 60, 200, 400 and part of a winning 4 x 400 relay.

hiri, Dykes and Oliver create a trio of A&M sprinters who lead the squad in their individual events and then team together to form key parts of the two sprint relays. Points from sprinting events, including relays, totaled 60 points at the Big 12 Outdoor and 36 of those points return in individual races. Adding depth to the sprint events are returning athletes Miller, Stafford, Morquise Cleveland, Kyle Dykhuizen, Brandon Machacek, and Bryant McCombs, who earned All-American honors in 2007 but suffered an Achilles injury during the 2008 indoor season. Newcomers to the program include C.J. Jones, Michael Preble, Joey Roberts, and Ashton Young. Preble, Roberts and Young were all finalist in the Texas State 5A final in the 400. Jones, meanwhile, ran on a 4 x 100 relay that placed fourth in the State 5A meet. Melvin Echard, who doubles in the hurdles and jumps, is the lone returning 110-meter hurdler for the Aggies. He set a season best mark of 14.25 placing ninth in the qualifying round of the Big 12 Championships.
T
he bulk of the team that returns is led by eight athletes who earned All-American honors last season – Chris Dykes, Kevin McNab, Bryan Miller, Justin Oliver, Gerald Phiri, Julian Reid, Zuheir Sharif, and Dominique Stafford. Dykes placed third in the 200 at the NCAA Outdoor and finished fifth during the NCAA Indoor. Phiri earned his AllAmerican during the NCAA Indoor meet, placing sixth in the 60. Phiri missed the NCAA Outdoor meet from an injury during the Midwest Region, but returns as the defending champion in the Big 12 100 and 200. Reid claimed both Big 12 long jump titles and then placed third outdoors and fourth indoors at the NCAA Championships. Other All-Americans received from individual events included McNab in the steeplechase and Sharif in the triple jump. Earning All-American status on the three relay teams that competed in the NCAA Championships were Dykes, Miller, Oliver and Stafford. The 4 x 400 relay claimed silver at the NCAA Outdoor and finished fourth at the NCAA Indoor. The sprint relay placed second as well. Additions to the program include Shadrack Songok and Kennan Hall. Songok is a three-time NCAA track champion who helped guide the Aggies to a NCAA team berth during the cross country season and will have indoor eligibility remaining. Hall joins the team from Central Arizona junoir college and provides A&M with another talented jumper. He was a runnerup at the 2008 NJCAA Outdoor in the triple jump and won the pentathlon at the 2007 NJCAA Indoor meet. Other talented newcomers include Kevin Burnett, C.J. Jones, De’Lon Isom, Joey Roberts, Kaleb Shrader, DeAndre Thompson and Demetrius Tryels, who spread their talents across various event areas for the Aggies.

Reid, who set a triple jump career best of 54-3 ¾ and a long jump best of 26-0, scored on the NCAA level in the long jump twice as a freshman in 2008. Internationally, Reid won both events during the Jamaican Olympic Trials in Kingstron over the summer. Then he placed fourth in the long jump at the CAC Games in Cali, Colombia. Sharif has earned All-American honors in the triple jump the past two seasons and scored in the 2007 NCAA meet. Tyron Stewart’s career best grew by leaps and bounds in the triple jump during his freshman season with the Aggies, setting numerous personal best marks during the indoor and outdoor campaigns.

The returning group of Aggie distant runners is led by McNab, who scored five points in the 3,000 at the indoor Big 12 meet. He earned All-American honors outdoors in the NCAA steeplechase. Experience in the distant events comes from Mitch Bible, who was ninth in the 10,000 at the 2007 Big 12 Championships, along with Nick Toohey, the school record holder in the 800. The veteran group also includes Kevin Ondrasek, Joe Sauvageau, Graham Northcutt, Matt Ross, and Logan Sherman.

n Pat Henry’s fifth season as head coach of the Texas A&M track and field program excitement bounds over the championship potential of the team following recent recruiting classes as well as a new world-class indoor facility to call home. The 2008 season featured Midwest Region team titles for both the men and women. The Aggie women defended Big 12 team championships indoors and outdoors while the A&M men improved to fourth indoors and second outdoors on the conference level. Performances on the NCAA level were very impressive. The women had a pair of best ever finishes in the program’s history, placing seventh indoors and third outdoors. The men improved from recent efforts at the national meet to tie for 10th indoors and finish fifth outdoors. Relay strength by the Aggies resulted in another goldmedal for the women’s 4 x 100 at the NCAA Championships while silver medals were achieved by the women’s indoor 4 x 400, the men’s sprint relay and the men’s outdoor 4 x 400. The success A&M has enjoyed so far under Henry and the goals they plan to achieve stem from the strength of the program in the coaching staff that is in place along with the depth and quality of the athletes involved. Hiring good assistant coaches, who work hard in each aspect of the sport, has been a proven formula for Henry at LSU and A&M. “As a staff we pride ourselves on having an overall team success concept,” Henry said. “We are developing a program that is broad-based by getting good athletes in all events in both genders.” Henry established LSU as the pre-eminent track and field program in the country while he was there by winning 27 team NCAA championships with numerous team titles coming on both the men’s and women’s sides. He is the only coach in NCAA history to win both men’s and women’s track and field national championships not only in the same year but at the same national meet. In the past four years Texas A&M has had an individual or relay claim a NCAA title. In 2008 the Aggies enoyed both as Simone Facey claimed the 200 title and the women’s 4 x 100 successfully

defended its 2007 title with a crew of Elizabeth Adeoti, Porscha Lucas, Facey and Allison George. Previous NCAA titles were claimed by long jumper Fabrice Lapierre (2005), Clora Wiliams (2006) in the 400 and the women’s sprint relay (2007) with the foursome of Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Tresha Henry. In each instance those NCAA titles were the first-ever achieved by an Aggie and school records were established in each discipline as well. Texas A&M has also experienced new levels of success under Henry on the conference level. In 2008 the Aggies totaled 10 individual Big 12 champions after claiming nine individual honors in 2007. A&M had three each season in 2005 and 2006. Each recruiting class continues to have a significant impact on the success of the program. For the second consecutive year the women’s class has ranked No. 1 in the nation by Track & Field News. In 2006 the women’s recruiting class earned a No. 2 ranking by the magazine. Coaching on the international level Henry served as the men’s head coach for the United States during the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, as well as the World Cup in Athens, Greece, during the summer of 2006. Overwhelming success from the U.S. men's team during the World Championships led to a record 10 gold medals, bettering the previous best of nine set during World Championships in 1991 and 2005. In addition the U.S. men's team totaled 19 medals, the best tally by the United States since the 1991 World Championships. An essential part in developing and maintaining a strong program is having the facilities to train the athletes. The recently completed Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium, which will host five meets in 2009, is one of the finest indoor track and field facilities in the world. Combined with the space available for a warm-up area in the McFerrin Athletic Center, the new facility will serve as a very suitable host to the Big 12 and NCAA Indoor Championships this season. “We’re fortunate that we now have the finest indoor facility in the country now,” Henry noted. “All of a sudden Texas A&M becomes

Head Coach, Hobbs (N.M.) High School a spotlight with indoor track and field. Now we look forward to continuing the same effort in creating a new outdoor facility.” Henry closed his time at LSU by making it the first school in NCAA history to sweep the men’s and women’s national team crowns at the NCAA Indoor Championships. LSU swept NCAA team gold twice before during the outdoor season in 1989 and 1990. In overseeing the direction of the entire LSU track and field program, Henry always worked with sprinters. He was primarily responsible for the men’s sprint and relay events, two areas that flourished under his guidance. During the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, there were 15 Olympians competing who came through the LSU program. In all, the Tigers and Lady Tigers combined to win an unprecedented 16 national titles in the 4 x 100 relay and nine NCAA titles in the 4 x 400 relay in Henry’s 17 years at the helm. Tiger relay squads made history during the 1992 season, when LSU became the first school in NCAA history to claim gold in both the men’s and women’s 4 x 100 in the same year. Henry’s relay teams duplicated the feat several times, sweeping the sprint relays in 1993, 1994 and 2003. While Henry’s coaching accomplishments are legendary, it didn’t take 17 years for people to recognize that he was creating something special at LSU. In 1988, Henry’s first season in Baton Rouge, he guided the Lady Tigers to the NCAA Outdoor Championship. He then followed that up with two history-making seasons. At the 1989 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Provo, Utah, LSU became the first school in NCAA history to claim both the men’s and women’s national titles in the same year, and Henry became just the third coach in NCAA history to enjoy national championships in both a men’s and women’s sport. Henry’s teams went on to repeat that success during the 1990 season, as both the Tigers and Lady Tigers won team gold at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Durham, N.C. The Lady Tigers dominance continued between the 1994 and 1996 seasons as they swept the NCAA Championships, claiming the indoor and outdoor titles all three years. The year 1997 proved to be a true testament to Henry’s abilities as he led a young and inexperienced women’s squad to a pair

1995... NCAA Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year
In addition to the widely recognized success of Henry’s women’s teams from 1988-97, his men’s squads placed among the top seven in the nation at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in nine of those 10 years. In all, under Henry’s guidance, the Tiger men claimed five national crowns and averaged a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Henry’s success continued into the 21st century, as in June of 2000, he became only the second coach in NCAA Division I history in any sport to reach the 20 NCAA title plateau, guiding his Lady Tigers to an improbable run for the national championship, their 12th in a stretch of 14 years. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships the Lady Tigers completed a thrilling final day assault, picking up 46 of their 58 points, to edge out powerhouse USC in the final event of the competition. That same year, Henry’s men’s team finished fifth at the outdoor national meet. In 2001, Henry led his Tigers to their first NCAA Indoor title in dramatic fashion. Needing a win in the 4 x 400 relay to seal the victory, the Tigers demonstrated the character and poise matched only by their mentor. Rallying in thrilling fashion won the event, and ultimately the team title. LSU was just as successful in 2002 as both the Tigers and Lady Tigers each won a National Championship title. The women took home the indoor crown, while the men concluded the season by winning the outdoor title in front of a home crowd at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium, one of the highlights of Henry’s career. In 2004, Henry added another remarkable chapter to his already brilliant career as he guided the Lady Tigers to a sweep of the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships for the ninth time in program history and the first time since the 1997 season. The Tigers were also impressive in 2003, finishing third at the NCAA Indoor Championships and fourth at the NCAA Outdoor meet. The Tigers were able to consistently compete for national championships, while also focusing on winning the conference title. Henry demonstrated that philosophy as his LSU teams captured 16 SEC crowns during his tenure. One of the highlights under Henry came during the 1989 season when LSU won all but the men’s NCAA Indoor Championships. The women won both the SEC and NCAA Indoor and Outdoor titles, while the men won both SEC titles and the NCAA Outdoor crown. Under Henry’s guidance, LSU became a benchmark program in the collegiate ranks. However, the accolades didn’t stop there as many of Henry’s athletes went on to experience tremendous success at the international level. In all, LSU produced 37 Olympians and 38 World Championship competitors during the Henry era, totals that include three Olympic gold medalists and six medalists at the World Championships. Prior to his time at LSU, Henry molded a powerhouse men’s program in four seasons at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, that swept both the 1987 NJCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Henry earned both Indoor and Outdoor National Junior College Coach of the Year honors in 1986 and 1987 for his efforts. Preceeding his time at Blinn College, Henry served as head coach at Hobbs (NM) High School, where he led his teams to five state championships. Henry’s coaching abilities can be traced through his lineage. In 1911, when sprint sensation Gwinn Henry, Pat’s grandfather, was declared the “fastest man in the world,” one reporter wrote, “Unlike most champions, he is not a talker.” It is a trait that has been passed down from generation to generation, along with the proficiency for coaching. Gwinn, a native of Eden, Texas, went on to serve as the head football and track coach at Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico, while his son Gwinn Bub followed in his footsteps as an assistant track coach at New Mexico. The Henry’s coaching tradition continued into the third generation with Pat and his two brothers. Matt served as head coach of the track and field program at New Mexico for seven years while Matt's twin, Mark, served as his assistant. A native of Albuquerque, N.M., Henry graduated from Del Norte High School in 1969. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from New Mexico in 1973 and a master’s degree in education administration from Western New Mexico in 1979.
Henry is married to the former Gail Duggin of Albuquerque. They have a daughter and son-in-law, Seth and Shelly Daigle, as well as a son and daughter-in-law, Brandon and Brandie Henry. Pat became a grandfather in 2005 with the birth of Katie Ruth Henry to Brandon and Brandie. A second grandchild arrived in 2006 when Shelly gave birth to Avery. A third grandchild, Morgan, was born in February of 2007 for Brandon and Brandie.

he 2009 season marks Vince Anderson’s 24th season of collegiate coaching and his fifth season at Texas A&M. He is responsible for coaching the Aggies’ hurdlers, as well as the women’s sprints and relays. Anderson is expertly assisted in his duties by volunteer coach Andreas Behm. He also shares recruiting responsibilities with the rest of the Aggies coaching staff. Anderson has an abiding interest in the process of athletic development as it relates to one’s personal development. To that end, Anderson regards himself as a perpetual student of training principles, sprints, hurdles and relays. Anderson credits the generous teachings of many mentors and associates for boosting him onward in coaching, through the years. Anderson is a versatile coach who is equally prepared to teach sprints or hurdles or relays. He has trained All-American athletes in every sprint, hurdle and relay discipline, and the long jump too. The academic performance of Coach Anderson’s students reflects his sincere commitment to their complete development. In all, Anderson has coached 40 All-American athletes (24 women, 16 men). Among those athletes, 29 have graduated and 7 are on schedule to do so – yielding a pending graduation rate of 90%. For Aggie track, the 2008 season was a gritty extension of the team’s 2007 breakthrough season. The A&M women swept both indoor and outdoor titles in Big 12 competition before climbing one notch higher into the NCAA “Final Four” with a strong third place effort – their highest ever. At the 2008 NCAA Outdoor championships, highlight achievements were posted by Simone Facey, who became the first Aggie woman to win the 200 meters at NCAAs, and Porscha Lucas, who dashed to a second place finish in the 200 meters to give the Aggies a rare sweep of the top two places in the event. Notably, the 4 x100 relay team of Elizabeth Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Allison George blazed a winning effort of 42.59 to successfully defend their 2007 NCAA crown. The 42.59 collaboration made A&M the second fastest school in collegiate history while recording the fastest mark ever run by a Big 12 team -- unseating the 42.69 recorded by the Aggies at the 2008 Penn Relays. In her NCAA outdoor debut, freshman Jessica Beard continued her rise as a 400-meter athlete, finishing fourth in 51.75 behind three superb seniors. Beard also won her third U.S. Junior title at 400 meters and went on to claim a 400 meter silver medal in 52.09 as well as a gold medal in the 4 x 400 relay for Team USA during the IAAF World Junior championships in Bydgoscz, Poland. The 2008 Big 12 Outdoor Championships served as a benchmark meet for the Aggies. Texas A&M sprinters established four meet records in sprint events. Facey won the 100 meters in 10.95. Lucas won the 200 in 22.29. Jessica Beard also set a new 400 standard in 51.09 and the 4 x 100 relay team of Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Gabby Mayo passed smoothly for a meet record 42.88. Facey and Lucas’ dashes were not only meet records, but all-time conference bests too. Working with Coach Anderson and Coach Behm, Aggie hurdlers continued their steady development trend in 2008. Nick Robinson finished fifth in the NCAA 400-meter hurdles and lowered his personal record to 49.68. Seniors Jennifer Williams and Lindsey Adams placed second and fourth respectively at the Big 12 Championships in the 400 hurdles and improved their bests to 57.77 and 58.68 respectively. In the high hurdles, Williams (13.19), Adams (13.33) and Whitney Holmes (13.48 in 2007) grew into strong point producers on the conference level. The Penn Relays provide an annual stage for hurdlers and the Aggies capitalized in 2008.

Holmes, Adams and Williams, plus lead-off Gabby Mayo, combined to set an American Record 52.96 in the 4 x 100 meter hurdle relay, also known as the shuttle hurdle relay. The effort set a new school record for A&M, who also won the event in 1997. Trying to capitalize on the diverse strengths of his athletes, Anderson tries to involve as many athletes as possible to achieve the team’s objectives. At the 2008 Texas Relays for example, the Aggies won both the 4 x 100 relay (Adeooti, Lucas, Facey, Mayo) and the 4 x 200 relay (Beard, Carter, Baker, George) with eight different athletes. Under Anderson’s watch, Clora Williams blossomed into the 2006 NCAA Champion at 400 meters, setting a personal best 51.06. She was a Big 12 stalwart, earning conference titles indoors (‘06 and ‘07) and outdoors (‘06) at 400 meters, and claiming three of four titles she attempted. She became Texas A&M’s first female 400 meter champion at the 2006 NCAA Championships. Williams was also part of the gritty 4 x 400 relay team, which included a combination of Tresha Henry, Katie Baker, Simone Facey, Sandy Wooten and Jennifer Williams, that earned silver medals at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Championships (3:29.91 school record) and a second consecutive sixth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, running 3:29.44 in 2006 and 3:31.09 in 2007. The 2008 foursome of Wooten, Facey, Jennifer Williams and Jessica Beard also earned second place honors at the NCAA Indoor meet, running 3:31.34. Coaching A&M volunteer assistant coach Muna Lee during the 2008 season resulted in career moments for both the coach and sprinter. Lee won the Olympic Trials 100 meters in a personal best of 10.85 seconds and was runner-up in the 200, earning a trip to the Olympic Games in both events. In Beijing, Lee placed fifth in the 100 and fourth in the 200 with another career best of 22.01 seconds. While Anderson was an assistant at Tennessee the Vols earned the NCAA outdoor title in 2001, the NCAA indoor title in 2002 and also won elusive Southeastern Conference outdoor championships back-to-back in 2001 and 2002. He had the privilege of training four NCAA champions there – Leonard Scott (60m), Jabari Greer (60m hurdles), Gary Kikaya (400m) and Justin Gatlin (60m, 100m, 200m). Collectively, the foursome earned 10 NCAA gold medals between 1999 and 2003. Kikaya raced to the 2002 NCAA Outdoor 400 meter title in a PR 44.53 and the 2003 NCAA Indoor 400 meter gold in a PR 45.97. For two years, Anderson had the good fortune to be Justin Gatlin’s college coach. The collaboration coincided with Gatlin’s rise from a 10.36 100-meter sprinter in high school into a dominant collegiate athlete. Perhaps more than any other way, Anderson helped Gatlin by encouraging the sprinter’s tendency to dream big. Anderson enjoys training dual sport athletes and football players Scott and Greer both earned great success in track. Anderson also trained six 110-meter hurdlers who ran 13.58 or better. In addition

As a supporting coach, Anderson also played a key role in the overall development of NCAA long jump champion Dedra Davis and NCAA decathlon champions Tom Pappas and Stephen Harris. Anderson was part of Pappas’ team when he was World Champion in 2003 and at the Olympic Games in 2004. Beside Pappas, Anderson has trained other athletes successfully on the world stage. At the 2004 World Indoor Championships, Gary Kikaya became the first athlete from the Democratic Republic of Congo to win a medal in world competition. In 2001, high hurdler Dawane Wallace placed seventh at the World Championships in Edmonton and won a bronze medal at the World University Games in 2003. Rebecca Russell Buchanan, a 400-meter hurdler, ran to a PR 54.87 and a spot on the USA team for the 1997 World Championships. Anderson also coached 2004 World Junior gold medalist Aries Merritt in the 110-meter hurdles and 2000 World Junior bronze medalist Russell Frye in the 200 meters. Coach Anderson holds two bachelors degrees from the University of Houston, a Bachelor of Architecture (’79) and a B.A. in English Literature (’87). Anderson practiced architecture for six years after college before turning to track and field. He started as a volunteer assistant to Coach Tom Tellez at the University of Houston from 1986 to 1988. After 24 years of collegiate coaching, Anderson credits his success to a supportive family, patient mentors, great athletes and head coaches who took risks to hire him. He especially wishes to thank his wife, Charla, and his son Kohl for their steady love and support.
“ Coach Anderson is a person of dignity and class. He always puts the interest of his athletes first. I admire him most of all for his hard work and dedication. He wants the best for us and that is to succeed, not only on the track but also in the classroom. ” — Clora Williams

anHootegem is responsible for coaching athletes in the jumps and combined events. Among his other responsibilities, he shares recruiting duties with the rest of the staff and acts as the coaching staff liaison with the academic services staff which helps monitor the academic progress of the Aggie track and field team. During his 19 years of collegiate coaching … He has been a member of coaching staffs that have won five NCAA Championship team titles and 20 conference crowns.

It didn’t take long for VanHootegem to make an impact in College Station. In his first season, he coached Fabrice Lapiere to A&M’s first-ever championship in the long jump. Lapierre also had a third place showing at the national indoor meet to go with a Big 12 championship. VanHootegem also led Andrew Gamble to his first and only Big 12 triple jump title of his career at the outdoor conference meet and Allen Bulick to his first and only All-America honor in the decathlon at the national meet.

Previous individual qualifiers included Merideth Snowth (2006) and Sarah Balfour (2005). Distance runners in the Aggie program continue to set personal best marks throughout the track season and make additions to the school’s all-time lists. A highlight in 2007 included the men’s distance medley relay placing third at the Big 12 Indoor while in 2008 Munoz qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 5,000 and placed 10th in the final.
Known for his strong administrative and organizational skills, Waters has overseen the event management at multiple large track and field events and cross country meets, including the 2003 Southeastern Conference Cross Country Championships.

Taking office on Jan. 3, 2008, at age 48, she is the first woman and first Hispanic-American to lead the oldest public institution of higher learning in Texas—now one of the largest teaching and research universities in the nation. Her association with the university dates back to 1995, when she joined the Texas A&M faculty as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science and Associate Director of the Center for Food Safety within the Institute for Food Science and Engineering. Dr. Murano was named Director of the Center in 1997 and served in that position until 2001. Also, she rose to the rank of Professor and was named holder of the Sadie Hatfield Professorship in Agriculture. Dr. Murano interrupted her Texas A&M service in 2001 when President George W. Bush asked her to serve as Under Secretary for Food Safety for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making her the highest-ranking food safety official in the U.S. government. In leading the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, she was responsible for an agency with a budget of approximately $1 billion and about 10,000 employees, with the mission of working to improve public health through the application of science in policy decisions.
She returned to Aggieland in January 2005 as Vice Chancellor and Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, joint positions in which she served until being appointed President of Texas A&M. As Vice Chancellor and former Director of Texas AgriLife Research (formerly the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station), she led a transformation of agricultural programs and four state agencies within The Texas A&M University System to the benefit of students, peers and the agricultural community represented in 254 counties across Texas. While serving as Dean, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences experienced significant growth in enrollment and enhancement of its teaching, research and service endeavors.

ill Byrne arrived at Texas A&M as the Director of Athletics in January of 2003, sporting outstanding credentials and a proven track record of producing champions. In fact, during a distinguished and dynamic career that has spanned more than three decades in collegiate athletics, Byrne has collected enough hardware (championship rings, plaques, honors, etc.) to open his own home-improvement store. With 16 national championships and 122 conference titles under his direction, his teams have enjoyed success across the board. Since his arrival in Aggieland, A&M has earned four national championships and 23 Big 12 Conference titles with promises of more to come. Under his leadership, the Aggies have brought home more league crowns than any other school in each of the last two athletic seasons. Byrne’s dedication to the mission of Building Champions led A&M to its highest ranking ever in Directors’ Cup Division I-A finishes in 2008. Byrne has overseen the design and implementation of a facility master plan with the goal to expand and improve athletic facilities to be the finest in the nation. The McFerrin Athletic Center and Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball are two steps in the process in attaining that vision. Along with the finest facilities, outstanding staff is crucial to Building Champions. Byrne has put into place an executive staff that is consulted by national programs for their expertise. On the playing field, eight of his nine headcoaching hires have achieved postseason competition within their first two years. Byrne’s ninth hire, Mike Sherman, has not yet completed his first season. Byrne came to College Station from Nebraska where his hard work put the Huskers’ financial books in the black and tripled the annual athletic budget. Byrne’s Nebraska teams also compiled an extremely impressive string of seven straight Top 25 finishes in the Directors’ Cup Division I-A standings, making him one of the most admired and respected athletic directors in the country. But what Texas A&M fans, former students, student-athletes, employees and school officials quickly discovered about Byrne, upon his arrival in Aggieland, is that this former offensive lineman would rather toil in the trenches than rest on his laurels. His success as an administrator is best defined by his unwavering work ethic, not the amount of gold he has placed in trophy cases throughout the years. Byrne’s passion and professional trademark is his relentless pursuit of excellence, and in an extremely short amount of time at Texas A&M, he infused the athletic department with a new vision for the future.
The phrase “Building Champions” has become the mission statement of Texas A&M’s athletic department under Byrne’s guidance, and it encompasses both his short-term and long-term objectives. He expects excellence from those who work with him, and he also demands it from himself. Throughout his career, Byrne has been recognized with the highest awards that an athletics administrator can receive. Among other things, he was recognized by the U.S. Sports Academy with the 2007 Carl Maddox Sports Management Award, he was the 2002 winner of the John L. Toner Award; the 1999 Central Region National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director of the Year; president of NACDA in 1991-92; and the National Athletic Fundraisers Association Fundraiser of the Year in 1985. Bill Byrne is a 1967 graduate of Idaho State, where he also earned an MBA in 1971. He began his collegiate career as the director of alumni relations at his alma mater and then served as the executive director of the New Mexico Lobo Club (1976-79). He was the assistant athletic director at San Diego State (1980-82) and was an associate athletic director at Oregon for 18 months before being named the Director of Athletics in May of 1984. Byrne’s wife of forty years is Dr. Marilyn Kent Byrne, who has expertise in leadership development, team building, and executive coaching. The Byrnes have two sons—Bill Jr. and Greg. Bill is a vice president of Visa USA in San Francisco. Greg is director of athletics at Mississippi State University. He and his wife Regina live in Starkville with their two sons, Nicholas and Davis.

or the first time since 2004 an Aggie team will compete on a home ven-

he recently completed Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium features a six lane 200-meter, hydraulic-banked track as well as an eight lane straightaway that resides in the McFerrin Athletic Center. “I think we have the finest facility in this country,” Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. “Of course, I’m going to be a little biased. “Besides it being a banked, hydraulic Mondo facility, which we know is a tremendous track, it goes to the same

degree of angle that the Arkansas track does. The Arkansas track is very fast and this is a copy of that track.” The Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium is located at the southwest corner of Kyle Field and the structure covers 120,000 square foot. Plus adjacent to the facility is a 75,000 square foot indoor football practice field. “The most important thing, particularly for championship meets, is having an indoor warm-up facility adjacent to the track building,” Henry noted. “When most facilities are built they forget that the athletes need to warm up. When you host a track meet you can’t warm up on the same track you’re having the meet on. “The other half of the McFerrin Athletic Center, which houses an indoor football field, just makes our warm-up area outstanding. That’s what separates our facility from any others.” The Texas A&M track and field staff and program offer a hearty thank you to the two families largely responsible for the construction of the first indoor track and field facility to grace the campus. Dorothy and Artie McFerrin along with Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam were instrumental in the plans for such a facility coming to fruition. “A couple of families gave an awful lot to this project, plus there were also a lot of other people who contributed
to the facility,” Henry said. “This is a happy time for us right now and we hope our team will respond.” The Mondotrack FTX surface, which covers the entire competition floor, is the same material utilized during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. It offers a greater contact area, better lateral support of the foot and a high energy return. The surface is athlete oriented because it supports the rolling of the foot, returning elastic power and enhancing performance while preventing injury. By having a sprint runway outside of the oval, more room is dedicated to field events inside the oval. The Gilliam Indoor facility can accommodate two runways for the long jump or triple jump, two vault runways and pits as well as two high jump pits. Outside of the oval the facility also includes a throwing area that can accommodate two shot put rings, or a shot put and weight throw area concurrently. “We can also throw both the shot put and the weight throw in the same facility and at the same time while being visible from the stands,” Henry explained. “For field events we can do two events at the same time in the long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault. Something like that can’t be done anywhere else in the country.”

whole thing,” Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. “This is the first time we’ve been able to run at home. We just had a senior class finish without having an opportunity to compete in a home meet.
Then a Big 12 versus SEC showdown will have the Aggies, Longhorns and Missouri teaming up to take on Florida, LSU and Mississippi from the Southeastern Conference. A 16-team invitational, primarily featuring Division I schools from Texas, concludes the regular season portion of the home schedule in the inaugural season of the new facility. At the end of February the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium will host the Big 12 Championships. In mid March the NCAA Indoor Championships will be held on the Texas A&M campus. It will be the first time the Division I meet is hosted in the state of Texas.
FACILITIES
“This is the first time now that we get to compete on campus. Our athletes get to compete in front of their peers. So, there is a lot of excitement around here.” Starting with a Texas A&M versus UT dual meet the Aggies will host the Texas men and Tennessee women to officially open the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium in mid January.
The 12th Man Productions large video board will provide lane assignments, results and replays of various events during a home meet inside the McFerrin Athletic Center.

ntering its 24th year of existence, Texas A&M’s track and field outdoor

t the 1990 SWC Outdoor Championships, Houston’s Leroy Burrell set all-conditions track records in the 100 and 200-m dashes, clocking in at 9.94w and 19.61w. In the same meet, Texas A&M’s Andre Cason finished second in the 100-m dash and Baylor’s Michael Johnson, who set a world record holder in the event, placed second in the 200-m dash. That threesome went on to become a highlydecorated trio, with Burrell ranked No. 1 in the world in 1991 in the 100-m dash and Johnson ranked No. 1 in the world in the 200 and 400-m dashes. In 1992, Cason set a world record in the 60-m dash, breaking the mark set by Burrell in 1990. Cason and Burrell teamed up at the World Championships in 1991 with Dennis Mitchell and former Houston great Carl Lewis to set a world record in the 400-m relay. The Anderson Track and Field record board reads like a Who’s Who of the sport. Former A&M shot putter Randy Barnes, the 1996 Olympic gold medalist and current world record holder, set the track shot put record in 1988 with a throw of 71-4 3/4 at the Texas A&M Relays. The long jump record of 26-10 1/2 belongs to former University of Texas star Eric Metcalf, who went on to have a long and productive career in the NFL. Baylor’s Bill Payne, former American collegiate pole vault record holder, held the track record for 11 years with a vault of 18-0 1/2 and former Tennessee star John Tillman leaped 55-8 1/2 to set the triple jump mark in 1989. Arkansas’ Reuben Reina holds the 10,000-m run track record with a clocking of 29:54.63, and former
A&M hurdles standout Chris Pinnock holds the 110-m hurdles mark at 13.60

n 2004 the Anderson Track and Field Complex hosted its last meets to date. In the Midwest Region meet Jeremy Wariner, who won Olympic gold that same summer, set a track record of 44.50 in the 400 while running for Baylor. Sanya Richards of Texas, an Olympic silver medalist in 2008, established a track record of 50.49 in the women’s 400. Another big mark from that meet came in the men’s discus with a 222-0 effort from SMU’s Hannes Hopley.

The nine-lane Spurtan surface is identical to the one used at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. It boasts the largest area of rubberized surface of any track in the country and was the first surface of its kind to be used in the United States. The track is uniquely designed to allow all throwing events except the hammer to be contested in the infield, with pole vault and horizontal jump pits located directly in front of the grandstand. The design allows spectators to witness every event without ever leaving their seats. Warm-up areas are located adjacent to the track. Five jumping pits are located between the track and the grandstands and the facility boasts six vaulting areas. he Frank G. Anderson Track and Field played host to its first major event with the 1990 SWC Outdoor Championships, which made a return appearance in 1992. The 1990 event was the first conference meet hosted by A&M since 1971. In 2001, Texas A&M hosted the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, the first conference track meet on campus in nine years. In 2004, the Anderson Track & Field hosted NCAA Midwest Regional Qualifying Championships, which featured teams from Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. The facility is named after legendary Aggie track coach Col. Frank G. “Andy” Anderson, who coached track and field at A&M from 1922-35 and again from 1947-57, a total of 25 years. Anderson coached the Aggies to nine SWC team championships and 114 individual conference titles.

n the way to defending their NCAA title in the 4 x 100 relay, the Aggie women supplied history-making performances with first time victories in relay events held at the Texas Relays and Penn Relay Carnival while breaking some long-standing meet and stadium records. The season culminated with an encounter against LSU at the NCAA Championships. The final showdown between the two schools would be the fourth one of the season in the sprint relay, where the Tigers held a 2-1 edge on the season. Competing with a relay order of Elizabeth Adeoti, Porscha Lucas, Simone Facey and Allisoin George, the Texas A&M crew defeated LSU 42.59 to 42.85 as they lowered the school record for the third time in 2008 while breaking the Drake Stadium mark for the fourth consecutive time they have run on the blue track in Des Moines, Iowa, the past two seasons. “It was a good race and we executed really well,” noted Facey. “We’re the defending champions, so we just went out there and executed our race. “It’s always important when we line up with LSU,” Facey added. “They’re always trying to beat us and they were able to twice this season. We had a goal of breaking the NCAA record, but we’re very happy with a 42.59 since it’s a new school record for us.” The Aggies became the second fastest school in the event with the third best performance ever, trailing the collegiate record of 42.50 set by LSU at altitude in 1989 along with the 42.55 the Tigers ran in 2003. Behind the showdown between Texas A&M and LSU the rest of the NCAA field was a full second behind the time the Aggies posted. Baylor claimed third over Florida (43.602 to 43.603) as both teams clocked 43.61. The rest of the field included Tennessee (43.83), UTEP (43.95), South Carolina (44.04) and California (44.32).

The foursome of Elizabeth Adeoti, Simone Facey, Porscha Lucas and Allison George claimed Texas A&M’s second consecutive NCAA 4 x 100 relay championship with a school record 42.59 victory. Khrystal Carter joined Facey, Lucas and George when the Aggies set a school record of 1:30.96 and captured a Penn Relays Championship of America title in the 4 x 200 relay. Even as early as late March, competing at the Florida State Relays, the A&M sprint relay started to make historical notes on the season as they claimed a victory in 43.18 seconds. The effort from Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Gabby Mayo bettered a 24-year-old facility record of 43.90 set by FSU’s foursome of Finn, Payne, Cliette, and Givens in 1984. During the Texas Relays a week later Texas A&M claimed first time victories in the women’s 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays. The 4x2 crew of Jessica Beard, Khrystal Carter, Katie Baker and George posted a winning time of 1:33.46 to hold off six-time champion LSU (1:33.58). In the 4x1 relay the Aggie foursome established a school record 42.97 in bettering the 43.10 produced by LSU. Running on the relay for A&M were Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Mayo. “We knew we had the ability to run 42-something, it was just a matter of time for us to do it,” Facey stated after the win. “We still have more things to work on, so hopefully we will run a 42.8 or 42.6 through the rest of the season.” In Los Angeles, the quartet of Adeoti, Lucas, Carter and Mayo posted a time of 43.40 at the UCLA Invitational to eclipse the previous meet record of 44.93 (2005) and stadium record of 43.49 set by UCLA in 1998. Then the Aggies traveled to Baton Rouge to square off against LSU on its home track. A 42.84 by the Tigers bettered A&M’s mark of 43.38 and equaled the series between the two programs at 1-1. LSU claimed a very narrow win over the Aggies at the Penn Relays as both schools recorded season best marks to date. The Tigers clocked 42.59 with Texas A&M runner-up in a school record 42.69 as each squad bettered the previous meet record of 42.73 set by LSU in 2003. The Aggie lineup included George, Lucas, Facey and Mayo. In the 4 x 200 the Aggies produced a school record of 1:30.96 during the prelims as they became the fourth-fastest school in the history of the event. During the final on the following day the crew of Carter, George, Facey and Lucas pulled away from LSU for a 1:31.21 to 1:31.77 win. It was the first relay victory for Texas A&M in this event at Penn
Relays and the first since 1997 when the Aggies won a shuttle hurdle relay title. Leading up to the NCAA Championships, Texas A&M successfully defending sprint relay titles at the Big 12 and Midwest Region meets. Running in the altitude of Boulder, Colorado for the conference championships, the Aggie crew of Adeoti, Lucas, Facey and Mayo set a meet record of 42.88 to better the previous mark of 43.36 set by Texas in 1999. A 43.42 victory at the region meet held in Lincoln, Nebraska secured the Aggies a place in the NCAA Championship field. Texas A&M generated 11 new marks on the school’s all-time top 10 performer and performance lists, including a 43.19 during the prelims of the NCAA Championships.

pair of silver medal performances at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relays had the Aggies finishing the season as one of the top relays teams in the country. Both squads also neared 20-year-old school records in each event. The 16 points from the two relay events played a big hand in Texas A&M scoring 32 points in the championship meet to place fifth overall in the team standings. It was the first top five placing for the Aggie men’s program since 1989. Texas A&M was one of just three schools to reach the final of both relay events at the NCAA meet. The Aggies had the best combined finish among the two relays with a pair of runner-up efforts. Baylor won the 4 x 400

and finished sixth in the sprint relay while Florida placed third in the 4x1 and eighth in the mile relay. With Gerald Phiri missing out of the NCAA Championships with an injury from the region meet, the Aggies used a line-up of Richard Adu-Bobie, Justin Oliver, Dominique Stafford and Chris Dykes for the 4 x 100 in Des Moines, Iowa. That A&M foursome produced a time of 38.58 to finish second to the 38.42 recorded by LSU. The Aggies time just missed the school record of 38.53 established at altitude during the 1989 NCAA meet in Provo, Utah when A&M placed second to TCU’s collegiate record 38.23. In comparison two Texas A&M winning teams at the NCAA Championships clocked times of 38.80 in 1997 and 38.84 in 1988. For the second consecutive year the Aggies challenged Baylor in the 4 x 400 throughout the postseason, facing the Bears at Big 12, Midwest Region and NCAA Championships. Texas A&M attained a set of silver medals from each meet. After posting the top time of 3:04.17 during the prelims of the NCAA Championships, the Aggies occupied the best lane in the final. The silver-medal effort by A&M in the final produced the third fastest time in school history with a mark of 3:01.78. The Aggies ran with the foursome of Bryan Miller (46.1), A.C. Robinson (45.4), Nick Robinson (45.4) and Justin Oliver (44.9). Baylor won the race in 3:00.22 while A&M held off a charge from Kentucky, who placed third in 3:02.00. “Of course we would like to win this race, but we went out there and ran our fastest time of the season by far, so I can’t complain,” Oliver said. “Getting a top five team finish, that’s a long way from where we’ve been the past two years. “I’ve been here since we’ve been rebuilding with this coaching staff, so to see this team grow into a national top five team is a great feeling.” The A&M crew came close once again to the school record mark of 3:00.91 the Aggies set in winning the 1989 NCAA title in Provo. Five of the top six performances by A&M 4x4s have been attained during NCAA Championship competition.

Sprint events provided a bulk of the points scored by A&M as Porscha Lucas and Jessica Beard each claimed individual titles and then teamed up for a victory in the 4 x 400 relay. The Aggies tallied 20 points in the 200 (1-2-7 finish), 19 more in the 400 (1-4-5), and 16 in the 60 (2-5-6-8). A win in the 4x4 netted 10 more points while the hurdlers supplied 18 points (2-3-5) with Jennifer Williams leading the trio. Lucas, who equaled the meet record set by Sanya Richards of Texas in 2004, established a school record of 22.86 to lead the strong A&M finish in the 200. Simone Facey, who was also second in the 60 with a school record 7.23, ran an indoor PR of 22.96 as the runner-up in the 200. “Simone and I really run well together,” noted Lucas. “We knew what we had to, we both ran our own races and had a great outcome.” Beard, named Big 12 Freshman of the Year, set a career indoor best of 52.61 to win the 400 and was seventh in the 200. Beard moved closer to the school record of 52.53 held by Clora Williams, winner of Big 12 titles in 2006 and 2007. “Winning the conference title keeps my mindset on pushing myself harder so I can strive for bigger things,” Beard

Williams was greeted with a loud “whooo” from the crowd of 39,904 as she closed the gap on LSU’s Nickeisha Wilson during the final leg of the hurdle relay. While LSU had an international athlete among their foursome, the Aggies ran three seniors native to Texas in Holmes (San Antonio), Adams (Lufkin) and Williams (Corpus Christi) along with a freshman in Mayo from North Carolina.

In the men’s triple jump a 3-4-6 finish was led by Reid’s 53-6 ¼ as Tyron Stewart (53-3 ¾) and Melvin Echard (51-10) followed. The discus produced two more NCAA entrants with Josh Tiemann (175-6) and Dylan Conway (175-5) placing fourth and fifth.

2008 CROSS COUNTRY REVIEW NCAA BERTH FOLLOWS A&M’S REGION TITLE
B
y winning his third NCAA South Central Region title, senior Shadrack Songok helped lead Texas A&M to a team berth for the NCAA Championships as the Aggies defeated Arkansas for the regional title. It marked the first time the Razorbacks had lost in the regional after rolling through an 18-year winning streak. The Aggies were just the second team in the past 30 years to better Arkansas in the region meet. Texas A&M posted a score of 39 to finish ahead of the Razorbacks’ 44. “It’s tremendous to see the enthusiasm in our group,” said Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry, who experienced his first-ever team to qualify for the NCAA Championship field. “For the men to win this region is a tremendous accomplishment for our program.” The Aggie men went into the South Central Region ranked No. 22 in the nation and improved to No. 18 after the victory. “It’s a pretty significant victory for our team,” assistant coach Dan Waters noted. “I’ve been watching this region for 15-odd years and I’ve never seen someone come close to beating Arkansas. They’ve had a strangle hold on this region and they are still a fantastic team. To run with them and just edge them out for the team championship is a special day for us.” Songok, who won his two previous South Central titles with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, covered the 10,000-meter course in 29:53. He also earned South Central Athlete of the Year while Waters was selected Coach of the Year within the region.
REGION CHAMPIONS The Aggies ended an 18-year winning streak by Arkansas when they claimed the South Central Region title in Waco, scoring 39 points to the Razorbacks 44. Texas A&M became just the second school to defeat Arkansas for the region victory in the past 30 years. “It’s incredible, I’ve been dreaming of going to nationals with a team,” Songok said. “The guys showed what they are capable of and we needed that kind of effort to win the team title over Arkansas. “Any time we had the wind at our back I tried to push the pace to make up for what we lost running into the wind. Whoever was the stronger runner on this day was going to be the winner as we finished into a very strong wind.” Four of A&M’s first five runners finished ahead of a Razorback. Following the victory by Songok, Kevin McNab was the next Aggie to cross the line in sixth place with a time of 30:44. The rest of the scoring five included Kevin Ondrasek (9th, 31:03), Joe Sauvageau (12th, 31:18) and Mitch Bible (15th, 31:19). Other members of the region championship team
were Logan Sherman (39th, 32:33) and Graham Northcutt (54th, 33:00). After helping lead the Aggie men’s team into the NCAA Championship field, Songok earned All-American honors for the third time in cross country with a 22nd place finish in Terre Haute, Indiana. He posted a time of 29:39 on the 10k course. Texas A&M, competing in the NCAA Championships as a team for the first time in five years, placed 30th. Bible was the second Aggie to finish as he covered the course in 31:04. McNab followed with a 31:15 as Ondrasek ran 31:21 with Sauvageau clocking 31:22. Kevin Burnett ran 32:20 while Sherman posted a 33:29. With the team limited to seven runners, Northcutt traveled to the site as an alternate.

Texas A&M attained a No. 1 ranking in the South Central Region when they defeated the Razorbacks during the Chile Pepper Festival hosted by Arkansas. The Aggies maintained that No. 1 status by claiming a rare defeat of the Razorbacks when they faced off in Waco during the region meet. In between the pair of victories over Arkansas, Texas A&M produced a fourth-place finish at the Big 12 Championships with a pair of All-Big 12 performances from Songok and Kevin McNab. Songok led the field for a majority of the race on the Iowa State course, but was passed in the final 400 meters of the 8,000-meter course. A trio of runners from Oklahoma State challenged Songok in the latter half of the race. German Fernandez, who claimed a 23:48 victory, paced the Cowboys to a team title over 12-time champion Colorado (26 to 66). Placing second overall in 23:54, Songok established the best individual finish by an Aggie in a Big 12 Championship meet, bettering the fourth place efforts of Juan DeBastos (2001) and Scott Lengefeld (1999). The time posted by Songok improved the previous A&M best of 24:20 by DeBastos in 2001. With a total of 95 points the Aggies were fourth behind the 67 points attained by host Iowa State. Trailing Texas A&M were Missouri (155), Texas (179) and Nebraska (200). It marked the best team finish for an Aggie men’s crew at conference since a run of third-place finishes from 2001 to 2003. The point total for A&M was its best score in a Big 12 meet, topping the previous best of 104 from 2001. McNab earned All-Big 12 honors by placing 10th in the race with a time of 24:37. Mitch Bible finished 19th in 25:03 while Kevin Ondrasek placed 27th in 25:17. Joe Sauvageau rounded out the impressive team score by placing 39th in 25:30. Also running in the conference meet were Graham Northcutt (26:02), Kevin Burnett (26:06), Logan Sherman (27:14) and Wes Caceras (27:23).
KEVIN McNAB Songok opened the season at the Texas A&M Invitational as he led a 1-2-3-4 effort by the Aggies on the way to a team title over a field of 13 teams. Then a runner-up performance from Songok at the Notre Dame Invitational resulted in a third place team finish for A&M amid a national-level field of 25 teams. At the Chile Pepper Festival Songok placed third overall as the Aggies placed four more runners among the top 25. In totaling 52 points for the team title, A&M bettered the 75 points by Arkansas. In the adjusted scoring for team points the Aggies had five finishers among the top 15 with the crew of McNab in 8th (12th overall), Bible in 13th (20th), Ondrasek at 14th (22nd), and Sauvageau taking 15th (23rd).

CHRISTINA MUNOZ
wo members of the women’s team advanced to the NCAA Championships after stellar performances during the South Central Region meet. Juniors Christina Munoz and Elizabeth Slaughter traveled to Terre Haute, Indiana to compete amid the NCAA field after top 20 finishes in Waco during the regional meet. For Munoz it was her second consecutive NCAA visit while Slaughter made her initial trip to nationals. It marked the fourth consecutive year for the Aggies to have at least one NCAA qualifier in the women’s field following recent appearances by Sarah Balfour (2005), Meredith Snow (2006) and Munoz (2007). A very windy and cold morning at the South Central Region meet featured a third place finish for Munoz, who ran 20:44 on the 6,000-meter course after leading the field for nearly the whole race. In the final uphill sprint to the finish Munoz was passed by Rice’s Nicole Mericle, who claimed the victory in 20:35, as well as Erin Bedell of Baylor, the runner-up in 20:42. “I knew they couldn’t draft off me in the windy conditions since I’m so short,” Munoz said. “They couldn’t gain anything by running behind me, so I just went for it. I think that was the best choice for me. “It was an awesome feeling to know that a victory was still possible so late in the race. I’ve never felt that before on this level.” Slaughter clocked 21:32 in placing 20th as the fifth finisher not associated with a team. Initially she was one spot away from advancing to the NCAA Championships, but a withdrawal by one of the four individual runners finishing ahead of her in Waco enabled her to make the NCAA field.
ELIZABETH SLAUGHTER Behind the effort from Munoz and Slaughter a five-runner A&M squad finished sixth in the team scoring at the regional. Other members of the region team included: Kasey McNorton, Emilie Fischer and Kirsten Brown. Amid frigid temperatures in Indiana, Munoz placed 46th in the NCAA meet with a time of 20:46. Munoz was only six places away from earning All-American honors, as the top 40 finishers attained that distinction. Slaughter covered the course in 22:08.
MUNOZ LEADS A&M SQUAD, ACHIEVES SECOND ALL-BIG 12 HONOR

REVIEW
he tandem of Christina Munoz and Elizabeth Slaughter led the Aggie women in each race of the season. One of the best performances by Munoz occurred at the Big 12 Championships in Ames, Iowa where she placed seventh overall to earn All-Big 12 honors for the second consecutive season. Munoz recorded the best finish by an A&M female at a Big 12 meet since Melissa Gulli placed seventh in 2002 and became just the third Aggie female to post a top 10 finish in the Big 12. Last season Munoz finished 11th in the conference race. She became the third A&M female to lead the team in two different Big 12 races, joining Andrea Bookout (1999, 2001), Melissa Gulli (2000, 2002) and Vanessa Kelly (2003, 2004). A crew of 12 runners competed for A&M in the fall of 2008 with 10 competing in at least half of the six meets the Aggies contested as a team. Munoz claimed the top spot among the A&M squad at each meet in 2008, starting with the Hawkeye Open in late August. She posted a time of 10:36 for third place on the 3,000-meter course as the team placed second among a three-team meet. Slaughter placed 10th with a time of 11:00 while Alie Cornell finished among the top 15 with a 14th-place effort in 11:14. Texas A&M’s Invitational was delayed due to weather concerns from Hurrican Ike. When the meet was rescheduled a week later on a Friday evening, Munoz paced the Aggies with a seventh-place finish as she clocked a time of 17:30 for the 5,000-meter course. Slaughter placed 24th in 18:19 as the second A&M runner to finish while Leigh Berger (33rd, 18:38), Cornell (41st, 18:53), and Kacey McNorton (46th, 19:02) placed among the top 50 on the Penberthy course. The heart of the season included national-level invitationals at Notre Dame and Arkansas.
Texas A&M placed sixth at the South Central Region meet with a crew of runners that included: (l-r) Elizabeth Slaughter, Kasey McNorton, Kirsten Brown, Emilie Fischer and Christina Munoz. Munoz produced solid efforts on each course, placing 19th in South Bend, Indiana and 11th in the Chile Pepper Festival held in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She recorded a time of 17:06 on the 5k course at Notre Dame and ran 20:53 on the hilly 6k course in Arkansas. Slaughter ran 21:39 and finished 39th in the Chile Pepper race. As a team the A&M women placed seventh among 39 teams at Arkansas. An impressive performance was turned in by freshman Amber Weems, who ran 22:35 and placed 77th. Rounding out the next two scoring positions were Emalie Fischer (22:41) and McNorton (22:42). During the conference meet Slaughter placed 30th in 22:15 behind the All-Big 12 performance from Munoz.
Claiming the next three scoring positions to comprise the team score were McNorton (23:02), Leigh Berger (23:08) and Weems (23:38). Texas A&M totaled 242 points to place eighth.

TEXAS A & M’S GREAT TRACK TRADITION From Randy Matson to Randy Barnes to Anjanette Kirkland, some of the finest athletes in the world have honed their skills at Texas A&M before going on to fame on the world track and field stage.
A
t Texas A&M, success in track and field is as much a hal lowed Aggie tradition as Reveille, The 12th Man and Muster.
T
he track and field tradition at Texas A&M continues to prosper under head coach Pat Henry and his staff. Now heading into a fifth season with the Aggies the women’s team has attained four conference team titles and finished as high as third at the 2008 NCAA Championships while the men’s squad claimed runner-up honors in the 2008 Big 12 outdoor meet and recorded a fifth place finish at the NCAA Championships.

HISTORY
mixture of current and former A&M athletes qualified for the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The 2008 Olympics featured six Aggies representing the U.S. as well as five other nations. Erica (Boren) Bartolina placed third at the Olympic Trials in the pole vault with a career best performance. Fabrice Lapierre contested the long jump for Australia, Tyrone Edgar competed in the 100 and 4 x 100 relay for Great Britain, and Allison George ran the 200 for Grenada. Richard Adu-Bobie (Canada) and Simone Facey (Jamaica) were each part of the relay pool for their respective countries.
F
acey claimed an individual national title in the 200m during the NCAA Outdoor Championships and played a role in the Aggies defending their 4 x 100 relay title with a world-class time of 42.59 seconds. In attaining 11 All-American honors in her two seasons at Aggieland Facey set a school record mark, surpassing the eight All-America honors achieved by Howard Davis, Randy Matson and Stanley Kerr.

very discussion of Aggie track and field history must start with the same man — Randy Matson. Matson literally redefined the art of shotputting, making it an event of technique and speed as well as great strength. A member of the National Track And Field Hall of Fame, Matson won the gold medal in the 1968 Olympic Games after taking the silver in 1964. In 1965, he became the first man to throw the 16-pound ball more than 70 feet as his cannon like throw went 70-7 ¼, breaking the world record by more than three feet. Matson extended the record to 71-5 ¼ in 1967, a mark which remained as a conference and school record for 19 years. When all was said and done, Matson had captured three NCAA shot put titles and two NCAA discus crowns in addition to three conference championships in each event. T E X A S A &M U N I V E R S I T Y
off three straight NCAA crowns in the 60-meter dash between 1978-80. In 1980, pole vaulter Randy Hall won both the NCAA indoor and outdoor titles and set a collegiate record in the event. Three Aggies — high jumper Jimmy Howard, marathoner Kyle Heffner and pentathlete Linda Waltman — made the 1980 U.S. Olympic team which boycotted the Moscow Games. Waltman became A&M’s first female All-America in 1978. Rod Richardson, a four-time AllAmerica, etched his name in the history books in 1982, winning the NCAA title in the 55-meter dash with a collegiate record time of 6.07. Howard also became a dominate force in the high jump and set an American record in the event in 1985. The late 1980s saw Aggie track and field reach an unprecedented level as the men’s team finished in the top six nationally four straight times to end the decade. The women’s team finished in the top 20 nationally in 1989 for the first time. Sprinter Floyd Heard won consecutive NCAA crowns in the 200-meter dash in 1986-87 and was the first collegian to break the 20-second barrier. Six Aggies competed in the 1988 Olympic Games, with shot putter Randy Barnes winning a silver medal in one of the most dramatic shot put competitions in history. Howard competed in the high jump, along with Mexico’s Arturo Barrios in the 10,000-meter run, Canada’s Ian James in the long jump and Jamaicans Richard Bucknor (110-meter hurdles) and Howard Davis (400-meter dash and 1600-meter relay). Davis won a silver medal in the relay.
ERICA BARTOLINA
Even before Matson, A&M was known for producing great track athletes. Jack Mahan was the first Aggie Olympian, competing in the javelin at the 1920 Olympic Games. In 1948, Art Harnden became Texas A&M’s first Olympic gold medalist when he ran a leg on the winning 1,600-meter relay team. Between 1948-50, George Kadera won more Southwest Conference individual titles than any Aggie in history (seven) with four discus crowns, two shot put titles and one javelin championship. The early 1950s saw the rise of high jumper Walter “Buddy” Davis and shot putter Darrow Hooper. Davis, who later became the first man to clear 7-0, won the gold medal in the 1952 Olym¬pic Games while Hooper brought home a silver medal after missing the gold by just three-quarters of an inch on his last throw. Hooper won the NCAA title in 1951, the first ever by an Aggie, and Davis followed with a national championship in 1952.
A
fter Matson dominated the mid-1960s, A&M broke racial barriers in the SWC by admitting Curtis Mills, the first black athlete to compete in any sport at A&M. Mills won the 1969 NCAA title in the 440-yard dash, setting a world record and beating 1968 Olympic gold medalist Lee Evans and silver medalist Larry James in the process. In 1970, Mills ran the anchor leg on A&M’s world-record setting 880-yard and mile relays. In the late 1970s another resurgence in A&M track occurred as football great Curtis Dickey reeled
I
n 1990, Barnes added the world outdoor record to the indoor mark he set in 1989 with a throw of 75-10 ¼. The previous year, Barrios shattered the world record in the 10,000 meters by several seconds. While Barrios’ mark has been bettered, Barnes remains the world record holder in the shot put. Two-time SWC champion Melinda Clark became A&M’s first female national champion in 1989 when she won the high jump. Clark, an All-America in 1988-89, began a string of four seasons in which an Aggie female high jumper was named All-America. Sandra Hines earned the honor in 1990 and Gwen Buck achieved it in 1991. Shot putter Mike Stulce burst onto the scene in 1988 and became the youngest ever to win the NCAA shot put title. He added collegiate crowns in the 1989 indoor and outdoor seasons. He won the 1990 SWC indoor crown with a meet record throw of 70-0 ½, making him the third 70-foot thrower in school history, joining Matson and Barnes. Stulce emerged on the world scene in 1992, winning the Olympic Trials and then capturing
America’s first gold medal in the Olympic shot put since Matson did it in 1968. Yolanda Taylor became the first Aggie in the women's program to earn double All-America honors in 1991 when she received All-America citations in the long and triple jumps. Andre Cason etched his name in history by setting the world record in the 60-meter dash in 1992, then breaking his own mark less than one month later. In the summer of 1991, Cason helped the U.S. 400-meter relay team to the World Championships title in Tokyo, Japan and a then world record 37.50. In 1993 Cason was part of another gold medal effort for the U.S. 4 x 100 relay when a world record time of 37.40 won the World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. The mark remained the world record until this past summer when it was bettered by Jamaica’s 37.10 in the Beijing Olympics. Also in 1991, Greg Williams won the NCAA title in the 110-meter hurdles, becoming the first Aggie to win the event. Decathlete Ricky Barker placed second at the NCAA Championships and went on to win the U.S. Olympic Festival crown with a school record 7,931 points.
A
he 2001 season was memorable for a variety of landmark moments. The Aggie men’s team won its first conference team championship under head coach Ted Nelson with a dominating win at the Big 12 Championships, which was held on A&M’s home track, the Frank G. Anderson Track and Field Complex. Led by five individual champions and one relay title, A&M won the team crown by 38.5 points over the second place Texas Longhorns. The Aggies also tallied their first individual national crown since 1998 when senior Tolga Koseoglu scored an upset victory in the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a throw of 204-10. The 2001 season also saw the end of Bashir Ramzy’s brilliant track and field career at Texas A&M. Ramzy earned All-
Fabrice Lapierre represented Australia in the long jump at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Later in the summer Lapierre won the long jump title at the IAAF World Athletic Final in Stuttgart, Germany.
Tyrone Edgar, who won the 100m title for Great Britain at the 2008 European Cup, contested the 100m and 4 x 100 relay as a member of the British team during the Beijing Olympics.
America honors in four events — the 110-meter hurdles, the long and triple jumps and the indoor and outdoor 1,600-meter relay, and won five conference titles — 110 hurdles and triple jump in 2000 and triple jump, 110 hurdles and 400-meter relay in 2001. Ramzy led the Aggies to the 2001 outdoor team crown by scoring a meet-high 24.5 points and being named Outstanding Performer of the Championships. On the world stage, former A&M hurdling great Anjanette Kirkland became the first American to sweep the indoor and outdoor high hurdles world championships in the same year. Kirkland took the 60-meter hurdles world crown in Lisbon, Portugal and the 100-meter hurdles title in Edmonton, Alberta.
T
he 2004 season was highlighted by Katy Doyle’s dramatic javelin victory on her final throw at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Doyle trailed USC’s Inga Stasiulionyte until she uncorked a school record toss of 185-7 to take the victory in Austin. The Aggies took 19 athletes to the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets and earned seven All-America citations. The A&M women placed 13th as a team at the NCAA Outdoor, its highest national finish ever at the time. At the conference level, the Aggies combined for seven Big 12 individuals crowns. Leading the way was distance runner Melissa Gulli, who won a pair of conference crowns at both the indoor and outdoor meets.
T
he highlight of the 2005 track & field season came in Sacramento, Calif., as Fabrice Lapierre earned A&M's first-ever NCAA championship in the long jump. Lapierre, a two-time Big 12 champion, produced his winning leap of 26-9 in the final round. In 2006 Lapierre earned a silver medal for Australia at the Commonwealth Games. After representing Australia in the 2008 Olympics, Lapierre won long jump at the 2008 World Athletic Final in Stuttgart, Germany. During the 2006 season the Aggie women placed 10th in team scoring, recording a then highest-ever NCAA finish in the program’s history. Assisting with the high team finish was Clora Williams, who became the first female in the history of the program to win the NCAA 400 meter title.
I
n 2007 the Aggie women achieved the program’s first ever conference title as they claimed the Big 12 Indoor championship with a 37-point victory over Texas. The Big 12 Outdoor team title was also achieved by Texas A&M along with the Midwest Region title. Simone Facey had a big hand in the Aggie women capturing the Big 12 Outdoor championship as she claimed the 100 and 200 meters while finishing the meet as the women’s high point scorer with 22.5 points. Facey’s winning time of 22.49 established a Big 12 meet record which was previously held by three different Longhorn sprinters. On the national level the Aggies continued to better their previous best team finishes at the NCAA Championships. Indoors the women’s team placed 13th while finishing fourth outdoors. Facey became the first A&M female to earn All-America honors in the 100 and 200 since 1982 when Novaita Samuels earned similar status in the AIAW nationals. A first-ever national title in the women's 4 x 100 relay played a big role in the Aggies claiming fourth place at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Members of the relay crew included Elizabeth Adeoti, Porscha Lucas, Simone Facey and Tresha Henry. The victory included the fastest collegiate time of the season along with a school record of 43.05 seconds. 2009 AGGIE TRACK & FIELD
HISTORY
t the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, shot putter Barnes kept the gold medal in the A&M family, edging out favorite John Godina on his final throw. Aggies have claimed the last three Olympic gold medals won by the United States. Continuing the Aggies’ success after leaving Texas A&M was Anjanette Kirkland. After a runner-up finish in the 100-meter hurdles at the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Kirkland went straight to the USATF Outdoor Championships where she finished fourth and earned a spot on the U.S. National Team that competed at the World Games in Athens, Greece. The Aggies have always been strong in the relay events with national championships in the both the 400- and 1,600-meter relays in the decade of the 1990’s. In 1994 the A&M quartet of Dante Bolden, Stacy Zamzow, Mike Miller and Danny McCray scored an upset victory in the 1,600-meter relay in the NCAA Indoor Championships. In 1997, there was no upset as the Aggie foursome of Micheal Price, Toya Jones, Billy Fobbs and McCray went through the season undefeated on their way to the national title in the 400-meter relay. En route to the victory at nationals, the Aggies posted victories at the Texas Relays, Penn Relays and Big 12 Championships. In 1998, hurdlers Larry Wade and Rosa Jolivet both earned national titles at the NCAA Outdoor meet. Wade, who also won the indoor 55 hurdles crown, capped off an undefeated season with a win in the 110-meter hurdles, while Jolivet captured the gold in the 400 hurdles.

Texas A&M No. 1 In Smart Money Report Tuesday, January 06, 2009
T
exas A&M University now ranks No. 1 in Smart Money
magazine’s national ratings for “payback ratio” — the earnings levels of an institution’s graduates compared to what they paid in tuition, fees and related costs for their undergraduate educations. Smart Money editors advanced Texas A&M to the top spot — from runner-up honors — after they were informed by the initially top-ranked University of Georgia that it had inadvertently provided some incorrect information about its tuition. Texas A&M is followed in the Smart Money updated list of 50 colleges and universities by the University of Texas at Austin and Georgia Tech, with the University of Georgia now ranked fourth. All other previously announced rankings remain the same, the magazine’s editors note. In the extensive article titled “Why The Ivies Aren’t Worth It,” the widely circulated personal-finance magazine published by The Wall Street Journal in its current edition (January 2009) says “an elite-college degree is nice, but once you factor in tuition and future salaries, public schools jump to the head of the class.” Texas A&M President Elsa Murano is cited in the article, noting “how stringently it (Texas A&M) economizes on administrative costs.” She is quoted pointing out that Texas A&M “recently bucked the education-inflation trend by limiting this year’s tuition hike to its lowest percentage in 10 years.” After seeing the published article, Dr. Murano said, “We are obviously pleased—but certainly not surprised — to have Texas A&M acknowledged as a national leader in the financial return on investment in a college education. “We take special pride in providing our students a high-quality education at the most affordable cost within our means, in keeping with our high standards as one of the nation’s top research universities. We don’t necessarily strive to be the least expensive; our goal is to provide the best overall value for a university that offers a world-class educational experience.” Smart Money editors explained that the “payback” ratio was determined by using data from an online salary database and then looking at the median salary alumni are earning within five years of graduation and after 10 years. The editors said they then divided each of those figures by the school’s historical degree costs and averaged them together.

radition and history are important parts of life on any college
campus but especially at Texas A & M University. The “Spirit of Aggieland” is unmatched by any other college or university in the United States. Most traditions at Texas A & M are filled with the rich background of its Corps of Cadets, which for many years made up the entire student body at the College Station campus. Texas A & M opened in 1876 as a land grant college. At that point, the student body adopted a military structure, and the traditions of Aggieland took their roots. The school remained essentially the

same until 1963 when the first women were admitted. But the school still has the Corps of Cadets — only one of a few universities in the country to maintain a strong commitment to military training. Today participation in the Corps is strictly voluntary, but about 2,000 students — men and women — choose to be part of the proud organization that helps personify the “Spirit of Aggieland.”

THE STORY OF O F T H E 1 2 TH M A N One of the most well-known traditions at Texas A&M is the Twelfth Man...
T
he story of this colorful tradition has been told and retold to generations of Aggie students and is part of the cohesive substance that binds A&M students together forever. The Twelfth Man is the reason A&M students stand for each entire football game. When Aggie students stand during games, it is this spirit and loyalty they are remembering. They stand in readiness in case they are needed to go into the game like the original Twelfth Man, E. King Gill. The late Dr. Gill of Corpus Christi related this story some years ago: “It was in January, 1922, following the 1921 football season. The Aggies were SWC champions and had been invited to play Centre College in what was then called the Dixie Classic in Dallas. I had played on the football team, but was on the basketball team at that time and those in charge felt I was more valuable to the basketball team (Gill was an All-SWC basketball player in 1923). I was in Dallas, however, and even rode to the stadium in the same taxi with Coach Dana X. Bible. I was in civilian clothes and was not to be in uniform. Coach Bible asked me to assist in spotting players for the late Jinx Tucker (sports editor of the Waco News-Tribune) in the press box. So, I was up in the press box, helping Jinx Tucker when, near the end of the first half, I was called down to the Texas A &M bench. There had been a number of injuries but it was not until I arrived on the field that I learned that Coach Bible wanted me to put on a football uniform and be ready to play if he needed me. There were no dressing rooms at the stadium in those days. The team had dressed downtown at the hotel and traveled to the stadium in taxi cabs. Anyway, I put on the uniform of one of the injured players. We got under the stands, and he put on my clothes and I put on his uniform. I was ready to play but never was sent into the game.”
SILVER TAPS One of the most emotional of all Aggie traditions …
T
he solemn ceremony is the final tribute and honor to an Aggie who has died. The ceremony is held in front of the Academic Building on the first Tuesday of every month at 10:30 p.m., if a student died during the preceding month. Students gather around the area, the campus lights are dimmed (cars included), chimes play from Albritton Tower, a detachment from the Ross Volunteers fires three volleys and buglers from the Aggie Band play Silver Taps three times. The ceremony is quite moving because the only sense one witnesses it with is sound. The family members of the deceased Aggie are invited as special guests at the ceremony.
REVEILLE The first lady of Aggieland …
I
s the official mascot of Texas A &M University. She is the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets, and is a Five-Star General. A full-bred American Collie, Reveille’s history dates back to 1931. At that time, some cadets accidentally ran over a black and white dog in their Model T on the way back to campus, so they gathered up the injured dog and took it back to the dormitory. In the morning, when the bugler sounded reveille, the dog started barking and promptly received her nickname. Reveille was soon adopted by the Corps and especially the band. She followed them to all formations and led them when they marched. At the first football game, she took the field with the band and made her first appearance as the official mascot of Texas A &M. Reveille died in 1944 and was buried at the north entrance of Kyle Field facing the scoreboard so that she can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponent. Reveille II, Reveille III, Reveille IV, Reveille V and Reveille VI are now buried alongside Reveille I. Reveille VII was introduced on Feb. 17, 2001 during an Aggie men’s basketball game at Reed Arena.
BONFIRE
T
REPLANT
O
n the night before the game — or two nights before if it is played in Austin — the Corps of Cadets stands at attention to the music of “The Spirit of Aggieland” while the bonfire sends its flames and sparks spiraling into the sky. Bonfire is entirely financed and organized by the Corps of Cadets and traditionally belongs to the freshman class, but the entire student body helps build the world’s largest bonfire. The building and burning of Bonfire, which takes two weeks of nonstop work to complete after months of gathering wood, symbolizes the burning desire to beat t.u. and the undying love Aggies everywhere carry for Texas A &M. Bonfire formerly took place on the intramural field south of Duncan Dining Hall on the southern edge of campus, but moved to the polo fields at the northeast corner of campus in the early ’90s. Bonfire has not burned since the stack collapsed in 1999 and 12 Aggies were killed. The Bonfire will not burn for the foreseeable future. Extensive studies have been conducted concerning the future design and conducting of Bonfire. Replant is a one-day environmental service project which strives to improve the Bryan/College Station community, bring students together through tradition, provide an avenue for environmental service and action, through a yearly tree planting event. The Replant Committee is a group of Fightin’ Texas Aggie students which organizes and puts on the annual environmental service project. The diverse bunch of students comes from varied fields of study, as well as from across the country. While the group does a lot of the behind-thescenes organizational work, it could not succeed without the elbow grease of the dedicated volunteers who attend Replant each year.
First held in 1883 when Aggies met June 26 to ‘live over their college days’... he early meetings were parties and banquets held during the commencement exercises. Soon, a permanent date was set — April 21 — and it became a time to pay homage to students and former students who died during the past year. At today’s Muster, living comrades answer “here” to the roll call at the largest ceremony in the 12,500-seat Reed Arena, for their friends who have passed on. During World War I, groups of Aggies held Muster in trenches in Europe. In 1923, former students began holding Muster

The Aggie Bonfire signals the annual football game between Texas A&M and University of Texas …
on Friday night before a home football game. The Aggie Band starts the parade at the Quadrangle near the Corps dorms and marches to Kyle Field led by the Yell Leaders carrying torches. Then, as many as 20,000 students line the route and fall in behind the band. Yells are then practiced, the Aggie War Hymn and the Spirit of Aggieland are sung, and at “lights out” the after-touchdown kiss is practiced. After an Aggie victory, the Yell Leaders are carried across campus and tossed into the Fish Pond, then a Yell Practice is held. After being “outscored,” students remain in the stands, and Yell Practice is held in preparation for the next game.
YELLS & HUMPING IT Instead of cheerleaders leading cheers, there are yell leaders leading yells …
T
oday yell leaders are selected by a vote of the student body. There are five Yell Leaders (three seniors and two juniors) who are donned in white. These five motivated Aggies use hand signals to indicate what yell will occur next. They tell the “Twelfth Man” what yell is coming, and the students on the bottom row pick up the signal and repeat it, passing it upward until the entire student body knows what is coming. Once the “Twelfth Man” assumes the “humping it” position (bending over with the hands placed just above the knees, properly aligning the back, mouth and throat for maximum volume) the yell begins.

THE ANNUAL CHAMPS BANQUET
E
ach year a CHAMPS banquet is hosted in the spring to honor the student-athletes, trainers and managers who have excelled in academics, athletics, leadership, and community service. Each year we have over 320 students that are recognized for their achievements. One of the primary goals is to have the student-athlete graduation rate equal or exceed the all university graduation rate at Texas A&M. This is a significant challenge because the university graduation rate is consistently very high. However, the staff, coaches, and student-athletes are up to the challenge.
ACADEMIC SUPERVISING
E
nsuring that our student-athletes are on the correct path to success is important to Texas A&M University. The Center for Student-Athlete Services employs seven full-time Academic Supervisors and a Learning Specialist. They are assisted by graduate assistants and a front office staff.
Together, the staff monitors the student-athletes’ academic performance to ensure the continued fulfillment of progress toward degree requirements. This process includes academic progress reports during the semester and individualized academic planning for each student. All student-athletes are also required to submit pre-registration forms prior to registering for classes to ensure a class schedule that meets degree requirements and meshes with practice times. Additionally, every student-athlete must meet with his or her academic advisor in the college in which they are enrolled. Each student-athlete meets regularly with the athletic supervisor. The meetings help solve problems concerning class work and overall academic performance. The emphasis of the program centers on the idea of a “proactive” approach rather than a “reactive” approach. Coaches and athletic supervisors try to set the academic tone early and to be as thorough as possible in planning for each student-athlete’s academic success.

The classroom may be used by student groups as a computer learning lab or as a traditional classroom. Like the other Presidential Libraries, the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum is also a research institution, totally integrated into the academic environment of Texas A&M University.
COLLECTIONS
T
he Bush Library’s collections include 38,000,000 pages of official and personal papers, 1,000,000 photographs, 2,500 hours of video-tape, and 70,000 museum objects. These rich primary sources document George Bush’s distinguished public career as congressman, Ambassador to the United Nations, Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in China, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Vice President and President. Included in the Museum’s exhibits are items ranging from a 1925 film of George Bush’s first steps in Kennebunkport, Maine, to records and memorabilia from his
tenure as the 41st President of the United States. The Museum also contains a special section dedicated to former First Lady Barbara Bush and a classroom designed specifically for students from kindergarten through high school. Operated by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum is the 10th Presidential Library in the United States.
GEORGE BUSH
T
he story of George Bush is a fascinating one of adventure, courage, dedication and service. Our museum exhibits reveal the unique influences and challenges which shaped George Bush’s life and presidency. On a larger scale, this museum encompasses much of U.S. history since 1941. Through original artifacts, film, photographs, documents, music, sound effects and interactive video and computerization, this special museum experience is both educational and entertaining. Some of the larger museum features include a World War II Avenger Torpedo Bomber, a 1947 Studebaker, a slab of the Berlin Wall, and precise replicas of President Bush’s Camp David and Air Force One offices. The presidential exhibits document George Bush’s exceptional leadership during times of crisis — the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Gulf War. The importance of family, friends and politics also are part of the museum’s colorful story. Yet, the overall theme of the museum is the nobility of public service as exemplified by the lives of George and Barbara Bush.

superior athletes together with the famous Aggie Spirit combine to tell a story that is one of the most exciting and compelling in the nation. THE TRADITION OF THE 12TH MAN
T
he excitement of Kyle Field, the revelry of the historic Aggie Bonfire, and the resounding yells of the student body will come to life in a sports museum unlike any other in the nation. It is fitting, too, that the museum is located in the Bernard C. Richardson Zone at Kyle Field. The story of A&M’s men’s and women’s varsity sports is presented using photos, film, artifacts and computer databases for interactive displays for all visitors to the campus to enjoy free of charge. The Texas A&M Sports Museum has the distinction of being the nation’s only all-sports museum funded primarily by former athletes. “This is a wonderful opportunity for all Lettermen to honor their teammates who deserve special recognition in a space such as the Sports Museum of Texas A&M University,” said Jim Singleton, Museum Committee Chairman.
W
hen visitors enter the “Zone” they will step into a large lobby area, shared by both the museum and the 12th Man Foundation, that will feature rotating exhibits focusing on sports at Texas A &M University. From the lobby, visitors will enter the museum. First, they are greeted with the Spirit of Aggieland including a donor wall and introductory exhibits to the Sports Museum. Visitors will experience several different exhibits in the Museum including the Timewall, Legends Gallery, Sport-by-Sport Perimeter Displays, and Interactive Computers.
T
he Sports Museum project was several years in the planning stages and is now a reality. The museum opened in August of 2001, in time for the first home football game in early September. The museum was built without the benefit of state or university money. The Lettermen’s Association in cooperation with the 12th Man Foundation raised those funds. Each sport has its own area, which is named in honor of a team or letterwinner. Those interested in contributing to the sports museum sustaining fund are encouraged to contact the Lettermen’s Association office at 1-800-310-3272 or the 12th Man Foundation at 979-846-8892. Current tax laws make the gift of appreciated stock very attractive.
T
he core of the exhibit is a gallery that celebrates and reinforces tradition and achievement, which are also the core of the university itself. Concrete gray walls and columns create an arena for the display of the university’s most treasured symbols of sports success in photographs and memorabilia that recall those uniquely gifted individuals who came before. PERIMETER DISPLAYS
T
he perimeter displays exhibit the different sports, as well as the Aggie Band, Yell Leaders, and each of the traditions that instill Aggie Spirit. These displays capture the spirit of sport and present the vitality of the on-going programs, teams and traditions of A&M Athletics. COMPUTER INTERACTIVES

s a prospective student-athlete, you may have the athletic ability to play at the Division I level. If so, you may be exposed to a large amount of recruitment from various universities across the nation. Throughout the recruitment process, coaches may reference various NCAA rules and regulations. The rules are designed for various reasons, but the two primary reasons are to ease the pressures on the prospective student-athlete and to level the playing field from one university to another. During the recruiting process you may have some of the following questions: When and how often may I visit a university’s campus? How many times may a coach observe me in practice or a competition? When, where and how often may a coach telephone me? What academic credentials do I need to be eligible to play collegiate sports? All of these answers and more may be obtained from Texas A & M University or the NCAA by requesting the NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete. This guide may be provided to a prospective studentathlete at any time. The guide will discuss issues related to Division I, II and III, academic eligibility, financial aid, recruitment and many more. To receive the guide, simply request it from the Texas A & M coach who is T E X A S A &M U N I V E R S I T Y

Select the Academics and Athletes link, and then select the Eligibility and Recruiting link and then click on the Guide for the CollegeBound Student-Athlete. Violations of NCAA rules during your recruitment may jeopardize your collegiate eligibility; therefore, you and your parents need to learn as much as possible about the recruitment process.

NCAA FYI FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES without being influenced by gifts or other perks given by a university or its boosters. You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangement such as cash, clothing, cars, improper expenses, transportation, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend an NCAA school.
When do you become a prospective student-athlete? When you start classes for the 9th grade. Before the 9th grade, you become a prospective studentathlete if the university provides you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the university does not provide to prospective students generally.
When do you become a recruited prospective student-athlete? There are four ways: 1. A university provides you with an official (i.e., expense-paid) visit; 2. A university coach or booster* has an in-person, off-campus encounter with you or your parent(s) or legal guardian; 3. A university coach telephones you, your family or guardian for the purpose of recruitment on more than one occasion; or 4. A university issues you a National Letter of Intent or written offer of athletically related financial aid. *NOTE: At the Division I level, a representative of athletic interests (booster) may not solicit your enrollment in any manner (e.g., no phone calls, letters or in-person encounters).
Does the NCAA require you to achieve certain academic minimum standards to be initially eligible?
Does the NCAA require you to have your amateur status certified by the NCAA Clearinghouse? For students initially enrolling on or after Aug. 1, 2008, yes, the NCAA will require you to have your amateur status certified.
Yes, you would. It’s not permissible for a studentathlete to agree (orally or in writing) to be represented by or take benefits from an agent without jeopardizing NCAA eligibility. Please note that it does not matter what this person calls him/herself; if he or she is marketing your athletic ability, he or she is an agent.
When may university coaches begin corresponding (including text messaging) with you? Telephoning you? Personally contacting you? Provide you with an official visit to the university? The answers to these questions vary from sport to sport, but you may find them all in the NCAA’s Guide for the College Bound Student at www.ncaa. org or by calling the NCAA at 1-800-638-3731.
When may you telephone a university coach or visit a university campus at your own expense? You may telephone a university coach at your own expense or visit a university at your own expense (i.e., unofficial visit) at any age and as often as you choose.
May you and your family accept benefits from a university or its boosters? Unless the university staffer or booster is a member of your family or has a “pre-existing relationship” (call us to find out what this means) with you or your family, no, you may not accept such benefits. NCAA member institutions have decided that prospective student-athletes should be able to choose the university they attend
May a booster contact you, telephone you or write you? Unless the university staffer or booster is a member of your family, no, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact, telephone you or write you for the purpose of recruiting.
May you ask Texas A&M former students about Texas A&M athletics? About nonathletic aspects of Texas A&M? You should not ask Texas A&M former students about Texas A&M athletics because NCAA rules prohibit former students or A&M boosters from discussing Texas A&M athletics with you or your parents/relatives. However, if you telephone or write former students about non-athletics aspects of Texas A&M (e.g., the business college), they may answer your questions.
May you attend an A&M Club luncheon or meeting? Yes, but only under certain conditions. If the luncheon/meeting is open to the general public, you may attend. Furthermore, you must pay for your own meal and transportation unless the A&M Club provides complimentary meals and transportation to all other guests on a basis unrelated to athletics (e.g., all high school seniors from the local community). An A&M Club may even invite you to attend a function, but the invitation may not be limited only to athletes; the invitation must be made available for non-athletic reasons (e.g., senior night, incoming A&M freshmen night, etc.) and must be sent in the same manner as for all other participating students. This same restriction will continue to apply after you sign a National Letter of Intent with Texas A&M. A Texas A&M signee must be treated the same as any other high school student. For example, you or any other prospects in attendance may not be singled out to be introduced, as this would be a violation of NCAA publicity legislation related to prospects. 2009 AGGIE TRACK & FIELD
T E X A S A &M
Yes, it does. To be immediately eligible at a Division I university, you must be a qualifier. To be a qualifier means that you graduated from high school with at least 16 core courses (i.e., college preparatory courses that your high school will maintain on a form called a 48-H), and a minimum GPA in those core courses as well as a corresponding ACT or SAT score on a national testing date. You must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse to learn if you are a qualifier. You will find information on the Clearinghouse if you visit the internet website described above.
Would you violate NCAA amateur rules if you enter into an agreement with an agent or a person who calls him/ herself something other than an agent (e.g., advisor) who is marketing your athletic ability?

979-846-8892 • 12thmanfoundation.com • 888-TAM12TH In 1922, E. King Gill exchanged his street clothes for a uniform to help found one of the most extraordinary traditions in college athletics – Texas A&M’s 12th Man.
and basketball games, one of the finest sports magazines in the country, 12th Man Magazine, road-game travel arrangements, sports e-mail updates, bowl activities and more.
More than 80 years later, the organization that proudly bears the name of this storied tradition continues to stand tall in its support of all of Texas A&M’s athletic programs.
Just as E. King Gill, the original 12th Man, once came out of the stands to stand ready to help his team, our fans can still help our performances on the field by supporting the 12th Man Foundation. You won’t be asked to sweat it out on the fields or courts, but your tax-deductible financial support will propel the Aggies to greater heights.
The 12th Man Foundation is the sole fundraising organization for Texas A&M athletics, which are completely self-supporting and cannot receive state funds or public tax dollars. The 12th Man Foundation provides the funds for athletic scholarships A&M offers in 21 men’s and women’s sports. The Foundation also raises money for athletic facilities, academic tutoring for studentathletes and more. If you believe athletics are important at Texas A&M, it’s important for you to be a part of the 12th Man Foundation, which has become one of the most successful and well-respected fundraising organizations in all of college athletics. Donations over the last five decades have helped to propel A&M’s athletic programs from a regional existence into national prominence. And the 12th Man Foundation is committed to helping Texas A&M reach an elite status among the country’s college athletic programs.
T E X A S A &M
To do that, the continued growth of the 12th Man Foundation is essential. In the 1990s, the 12th Man Foundation’s donor base grew from 5,000 at the beginning of the decade to more than 23,000 by the end. And with Texas A&M now sporting one of the nation’s largest enrollments, the future has never been brighter for Texas A&M’s athletic department and the 12th Man Foundation.

The number of former students and prospective donors to the Foundation is growing at a rate never before imaginable. In today’s highly competitive environment, it takes tremendous revenues to produce a top-flight athletic department. For as little as $150 annually, you can join fellow 12th Man donors to become the foundation of Texas A&M’s athletic success. The 12th Man Foundation also offers its donors a variety of benefits, including priority ticket options for football T E X A S A &M U N I V E R S I T Y
