Here's my list:

1A. Randy Matson. World record holder in the shot put in his prime, a silver & gold medal winner in the '64 & '68 Olympics & a pretty good basketball player, as well. BTW, could hit a baseball a country mile. I've visited with him several times over the years. Had the privilege of seeing his Olympic medals. Very humble & a genuine guy. Randy might have played been a pretty good football player but he didn't particularly like Gene Stallings.

1B. a guy that I don't hear much about....Walt Davis '51. Won a gold medal in the High Jump in the '52 Olympics & was an All-SWC basketball player that played in the NBA for several seasons.

Both guys are still around. A&M should promote these guys whenever possible.

3.Wally Moon. Basketball & baseball. Most remember him as a baseball player, tho. Had the opportunity to meet him a few times as my GF (now wife of 35 yrs) & his daughter were roommates @ A&M back in the early 80's.

4. Davey Johnson is another Ag in this discussion as well, having lettered in baseball & basketball.

Any other nominees?

What other sport did Krajicek play at A&M ? I thought he was tennis only.

An obvious one, but Martellus Bennett played football and basketball in more recent times (2000's). Wasn't great for the Ags in basketball, but he was a Superbowl winner and almost declared for the NBA draft out of high school.

Edit: Whoops, didn't read thread title fully

Stacy Sykora should be another nominee for track and volleyball.

I completely misread the title of the thread. My fault. Neither of them played more than tennis

She also played basketball for the Lady Ags at least one year.

I would put Matson first though.

Sykora was a beast

Heard a first hand story from a 6 foot male volley ball player that had 2 fingers shattered and bone exposed trying to block her

Best female athlete by far

Agreed she was an incredible athlete. I think she won the SWC or Big XII heptahalon, I cant remember which year she did it.
