Texas Track

Coach Watson also left the program. If they do not bring in an elite distance coach, men's program could lose on a number of the top distance runners

 

Texas may be getting a big time hurdler from the pac 12 soon.

 

big time get for Texas

 

Well?

 

A twin, brother?

 

Aren’t we just buying athletes from smaller schools now with our NIL money?

 

it’s still a possibility. The hurdler is Jamar Marshall who is a 3x pac 12 champion. I wanted to make sure he was actually going to transfer before saying anything but he’s no longer listed on their roster so Texas is still in play.

 

Coach Flo understands what it takes to be a coach at Texas! Another big commitment. Her PB are 11.26 100m and 23.13 200m. Reminds me a lot of Teahna Daniels.

 

He has gotten a top women's hurdles and 400 meter runner also

Flo did a good job recruiting sprinters.

I wonder what happened this past season, not only were there a number of transfers out of UT roster, but a lot of the pros no longer train under Flo

 

big time pickup! Ran a personal best of 51.81 in the 400m at the u20 championships.

 

Hard to win consistently with just sprinters and hurdlers, but they all are welcome!

 

I wish our distance program was better than what it is honestly. We are getting some great kids so we should be too 5 in the country by now. I think coach Flo understands that along with great sprinters you need a combination of great field events which is why he picked up the ncaa champion and 3rd place finisher in the pole vault. Texas should get close to if not win a natty indoor and outdoor this season.

and now look who is #uno

 

Nice!

 

Can you coach sprinting speed?

 

You can coach preparation and starting which add to event speed, but with all of the preparation and starting HIC and Sabre would be closer to the back of the pack, but still, speed challenged.

 

C'mon now.

Sabre would be a little bit faster than Samuria Sword, faster than Scimitar, and a lot faster than Broadsword. Only Dagger and Dirk could beat Sabre in his prime.

 

Does anyone know what happened to Brian Herron? Idk if he’s dealing with injury but he hasn’t been in any meets besides the first indoor meet in early December.

 

I don’t know what happened I think Flo rested a lot of athletes to prepare them for the indoor championships. I noticed Tobias didn’t run the 800, smith didn’t do the long or triple jump, Bizimana didn’t do the 800, and the 4x4 wasn’t the regular lineups. The women would’ve easily won the big 12 title had he put the whole team out.

 

Must be gunning for the Learfield Director’s Cup points.

With one event left, it appears Texas men will finish 2nd to Tech and the Texas women will finish 1st at the B12 track and field championships. Congrats women!!!

For the men, TT was very strong at pole vault and triple jump and Texas hardly scored at all in those events. I am sure others can point out other deficiencies that prevented Texas from being conference champ.

 

4 x 4 SNAFU cost Texas any chance of winning the women’s Nat’l Championship

 

Crap!

 

STAY IN YOUR LANE ESPECIALLY IN THE PASSING ZONE.
The DQ happened on the first baton pass. Our leg1 was in lane 6 but veered to lane 8, wrong person so veered BACK to hand off in lane 6, where she was to start with. Leg 2 started in last place because of the SNAFU. The shame is leg 4 won the heat with a huge lead going away.

we lost an almost certain 10 point win for a 0 and now the pigs will get the win and the Aggie’s will probably get a finish in top 3 for the race. This results in a 11 point swing in favor of the pigs.

 

I think Texas women’s T & F are going to beat the pigs for the Nat’l Championship despite the 4 c 4 SNAFU
