If Henry would have kept Hartman as the distance coach, we would have been even been better.

That really wasn't the "B" Team 4 x 400. We had several girls that got sick and two injured. Coaches did a great job keeping everyone ready to go and fill in for those injured or sick. The team did qualify for regionals and should win nationals. It is common for our team to be low in rankings during the first day. The team is loaded for second day competetion. With the recruits coming in next year, we may stil be ranked low on day one but day 2-3 will rock.

Coach Watters is fine. This team is not built to win with the long distance as a focus, (as previous teams were). You can't fill every need with 18 schlarships (women) or 11 (men). You have to hope for great walk-ons and 10%/books for many. When you look at how many of these kids run for free, train all year (6 days a week, it is simply an amazing group of kids with amazing coaches. They do a great job of coaching them up. Track and Field doesn't get nearly enough credit for their accomplishments at any school, espcially A&M where we are winning. Congrats to the team and coaches!!!!

Hartman did a great job. He and Juan were the only two coaches worth keeping. The worst was the women's "head" coach. Congrats to this staff for the women's title. Hopefully a men's title is coming soon.

I just saw a plane fly over with a banner that had "9.5" written on it. Imagine that.

Otto completed his career best decathlon with competitive marks in the 110 hurdles (14.82), discus (128-10), a pole vault (14-11), javelin (168-2) and 1,500 (4:59.38). He set a personal best score of 7,655 amid a day of cool temperatures and wet conditions. Rain prompted the pole vault portion of the decathlon to be moved indoors.

"It was a solid meet for me overall," Otto said. "I don't think I had one single PR in any event, but I had solid marks and near personal bests in just about everything."

His point total of 7,655 ranks as the second best decathlete in Texas A&M history, trailing only the Aggie school record of 7,931 set by Ricky Barker in 1991. Otto had been 10th on the A&M performer list with his previous best score of 7,355 set during the Texas Relays in April.
