This is such an interesting performance list especially on the men's side! Carlton Orange in the mile?!?! I suppose this meet is a workout for out 800 guys with two dropping down and two moving up! But I'd love to see how Clay would look in the 1500! His PR is a 3:44 so if can be around there or drop it lower that would add an interesting dynamic to our team!!! Glad Mpoke is going for the 400 hurdles, him, Smith and Thomas could provide a huge tandem there! I'm surprised Mirabelli isn't competing hopefully he's not hurting and I'd think all 3 of the guys have a shot at nationals being over 230! Maybe Dixon and Orange doing other events means they're both running the 800 this weekend! If our 4x100 is affected that would hurt them at Texas Relays as well since the 10 days would be up on Thursday!

For general admission all meet pass it's $40 and for a reserved seat near the finish line meet pass it's $60

We will also get to see two Aggies have their outdoor debut in the 1500 in a highly anticipated race featuring Athing Mu and Annie Fuller! That one should be worth the price of admission alone!

Tyra Gittens won't be competing in the heptathlon anymore here at Texas Relays and will instead just compete in the high jump. After what she did at nationals she deserves to rest her legs even more! But the great news is she'll likely compete in the heptathlon at home at the Texas A&M Team Invitational April 9th and 10th!

It seems like some of our athletes are missing action this weekend again due to Covid issues

Coaches Box
Head Coach Pat Henry
on athletes being unavailable due to contact tracing:
"It's discouraging, we can't quite get past all this contact tracing. It got the best of our men's team during the indoor season and now here we are minus a few of our top athletes. It changes everything we're doing at this meet. We're not changing what we're trying to do but we just can't do it. We're going to line people up and we're going to do the best that we can. These athletes that we're taking over there are good athletes and they're going to be ready to go."

I believe Ryan Martin, Emmanuel Yeboah are the athletes out due to covid protocols, could be the change up Pat Henry was referring to when it comes to the 4x100 relay, which hurts, but we still have Comick, Broome, and Achane who are still scheduled in the 200 today, let's hope they race

I saw on some of the team members social media that they started getting their Covid vaccines. Hopefully this helps towards championship time.

Look at the way he phrased it. I don't think he was referring to the men.

Tyra Gittens has indicated that she is quarantined due to contact tracing following the Arizona meet and will be out of Texas Relays.
This contact tracing issue is getting a bit annoying now because it takes you away for two weeks without training which could be huge for the progress during the season. Are all the other schools following contact tracing the same way. How many times can you be quarantined for contact tracing? So every meet you attend you can effectively be quarantined after the meet because of contact tracing?
Just wondering who else might have been contact trace and quarantined following the Arizona meet.
The strategy has be that the athletes get out there and do some good times and mark in their individual events early and hope it can qualify them top 32 for regionals.

if Tyra is out I would assume Lamara and other women jumpers may possibly be out due to cover tracing, what a bummer

I agree because he said "now we are minus a few of our top athletes" (could be men or women)
He also said "It got the best of our men's team during the indoor season" which could imply that it is the women now

Well we know Tyra is out so far

Only out one week if they don't contract it.

Honestly I don't have a huge issue with Tyra catching a break after essentially doing 14 events in three weeks at SEC/NCAA Indoor. Should be a nice rest for her as long as she doesn't catch it.

Ok thanks that great news it only 1 week of quarantine if they don't contract the virus
Yeah I agree Tyra could do with a little rest. She actually had Covid in December before the start of the indoor season. I don't know how many people have contracted it more than once

That's big. We need him to step up if we're going to win the 4x4 at NCAA's. Dixon and Deadmon are half of an NCAA record relay team. Got to find the next two best pieces. He should definitely be one of them.

Brandon Miller runs a great PR in the 400 of 46.86 to place 3rd in a fast heat!

I agree we need him to get to a low 46, high 45! He could be important this year and we need him to develop to be a cornerstone of our relay for the next 3 years! Glad he's off to a great start!

Is your all's live stream showing the multi events?! And hopefully Hankins gets a 3rd off good enough to get him 3 more, this foul thing is ridiculous

Mpoke with a huge PR of 50.1 in the 400 hurdles to win his heat, should advance to the final!!

James Smith Jr. cruises to a 50.09 to place second in his heat should qualify as well!

Both men qualify in second and third place. Immanuela Aliu with a huge PR in the 200 of 23.3!!! Her outdoor season is off to a hot start! I always figured with her stride she'd be better outdoors!

Look at her Instagram post from December where she got back her smell and said she beat Corona
