There was a really bad exchange and start from Camryn Dickson to Jasmine Montgomery…

The exchanged looked fine. Then Montgomery took a left turn into traffic.

I've personally heard other coaches use his age against him. So I'm sure it plays some factor, but Henry is a machine and does not seem to be slowing down. From the high school ranks we're bringing in some top talent especially 100-400 and one of the best hurdlers in high school history. Now I just question can they continue to develop and at a minimum stay healthy. We'll need some jumpers and throwers.

On the women's side we're losing a lot and I don't think we've signed a strong high school class, not a single sprinter, 3 multi athletes, and 2 field event athletes. Just 3 runners. So we have to attack the portal hard there. There's a lot of work to be done in these coming weeks starting sunday

They've been using his age against him for YEARS in recruiting yet we won the whole thing last year. They also used to use an essentially all-white, all-male staff against him for years too. You always want to hire the best person for the job but you're fooling yourself if you think that stuff doesn't play a factor in some kids/parents minds in a sport like T&F. It's been nice to see him adjust a little the past few years. I think it's helped some, particularly on the women's side.

Also, he doesn't need to be a 'machine'. When I read that kind of stuff, I honestly think it's pretty disrespectful to the rest of the staff. He has some really great assistant coaches who do a lot of the heavy lifting in both recruiting and coaching. As long as he occupies the chair and makes the big decisions, he has those assistants in place to continue to be effective. They deserve their due too. It's not just him.

Coach Henry will be 75 years old next month. It's time for a new head track coach at A&M.

75 is old, but how do you tell the greatest college track and field coach of all time (37 National Championships) to leave if he still wants to be here. I listen to his weekly interviews, and to me it's obvious he still loves it; although I would not mind if he quit saying track is an an outdoor sport. I love the mayhem of an indoor meet.

Given the large amounts of money spent on our track facilities in the past years, we have under achieved. Coach Henry may have a lot of titles from years ago but only 1 title since 2017 which was shared at either SEC and NCAA Outdoor championship competition. Meanwhile our volleyball and women's tennis teams have won combined outright multiple SEC or NCAA championships with inadequate facilities as compared to our competition in the past few seasons.

It's infuriating how tennis has gotten zero love, no pun intended.

Bassey clears the second height, 7'1", on his first try. So far there are five jumpers with perfect jumps, although two have cleared with two misses at the first height. We are still at the second height.

I'm not watching on TV, but I just saw that only 5 teams finished the 4 x 100 relay! What happened? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Arkansas 1st leg did not do well and 2nd leg left early and he could not get the baton to him.

Auburn last exchange was weird. 3rd leg had the baton in his right hand and was trying to cross the handoff to the 4th leg's left hand. Nut they were lined up in a manner that made the handoff very hard and they missed.

Crazy to think how Oregon went and spent millions on World Record Holder in the discus Mykolas Alekna and reigning decathlon champion and phenom Peyton Bair… an automatic 20 points, both hurt for the season

Bassey seems to typify our meet. He gets really close to scoring, but can't quite pull it off.
