The graphic must have been wrong. Commentator said if Valby finishes high, then Florida clinches the chip before the 400

appears the only way is if the florida runner in 5000 doesn't get any points.

This is also going to come down to inches. 

Blazevicka faulted by inches on her final long jump and it was a great jump. She was going to finish near the top if that jump counted. 2nd place was probably in reach if that jump counted. 

This might  come down to a toe being over the line. Brutal. 

 

unless this girl gets "mary decker'd" and florida drops the baton its over

And then we’d tie? With a win in the relay.

6th runner up finish. Jesus, how close we were to 6, 7 or 8 titles this academic year. 

seems like track/field could be something where you could NIL your way to an NC pretty consistently.

coach Flo needs to recruit some distance runners. Looking at the roster, seems like he mainly sticks with the Texas valley as his recruiting bed......

Looks like Florida pretty much whipped our tails. 

They did on the men's side. Their sprinters are much better. 

Not so much on the women's side. Texas would have won if Gittens or Blazevicka didn't choke. The women's side losing was our own doing.

They have one of the best distance classes coming in on the men's side.

Yeah, choking I guess I put under the heading of getting whipped by someone whose own competitors didn't. A shame it happened, but hopefully it's a learning experience that leads to a title soon.

It's going to take some next level choking for Flo to not win more national titles at Texas.

He won 1 national title this year with 3 runner-up finishes and better talent is coming in.

Damn that white girl from Kentucky fast

She just obliterated that 3rd leg.

we need to get her to transfer to us

Abby Steiner is incredible and she's at Kentucky because of Flo. 

That's the type talent that's about to be at Texas. 

The NIL question posed above is interesting, in that Texas would seem ideally positioned to extend it across non-revenue sports. Is that proving true?

She wouldn't even be at Kentucky if not for Floreal. 

 

Close meet.  Great showing  by the Horns.    A DQ, a dropped baton, a hit hurdle, a muscle cramp…

Things have to go your way.  

Mouse does a great job for us.  We keep winning the indoor title and fon’t have an indoor facility.   Your coach is a winner, you are only getting better. 

Congrats on a successful year.

Shyt. She’s a beast 

 

Steiner is incredible. She ran one of the fastest 200 prep times in high school coming off an ACL tear. 

I'm just sad Texas hired Floreal a year late or Steiner would be at Texas.

Whoever the next Abby Steiner is, hopefully he snags her.

I’m proud of the programs.  Flo knows what he’s doing and will win NCs here.  Women remind me of when Bev was here, and the men look liight years better than when Bubba had the program. 

 

Something I wanted to happen with the hiring of Flo was a regress with aggy.  I think you’re starting to see that.  And I think several aggy (women) have transferred here.  Henry is 70, and it sounds like his son is in line to take over and that isn’t what aggy wants (and I wouldn’t either as I don’t think he’s as good as his dad, but that’s just me from miles away looking in). 

 

Nice job Horns!  Can’t wait for the coming years!

He will.

Kentucky was a terrible track program and they once again finished 3rd on the women's side because of Flo's recruits.

Are you talking about Kurt? Kurt is Pat's nephew. 

But that would be excellent news for Texas. The aggy sprinters have regressed under Kurt.

 I swear aggy said it was his son, but that’s just mean reading texags.  I trust that you’re right. 

But no, it doesn’t seem like any of them want him to take over.

My daughter was recruited by Pat. Great coach and person. He's  old school so I do wonder how the transfer portal and NIL is going  with him leading the charge. 

Kurt has quite the reputation and not in a good way. I would be surprised if Kurt could even pass a background check but he is already an assistant there.

I'll post my thoughts on the recruits coming in when I get time to break it down. The men's side is stacked in the hurdles and distance for 2022. They also have the top shot-putter coming in. 

I don't follow recruiting in football but what have they been saying about Ryan Niblett? His future is on the track. 

Texas signed 3 of the top 5 hurdlers in the country. Possibly  the top 3. 

The surprise in the 2022 class are the distance runners. It's not the best distance class but it's top 5 and that's great for a program not known for distance. 

 

Sgouros is the distance runner to watch that's coming in. He broke the state 3200 record this year and he's improving a lot each year.

props for reals.. had to watch that leg again

 

 

Tangentially related - Leroy Burrell out at UH to take over Auburn.  Could help with Houston area recruiting? Always thought that was a heck of a selling point - get coached by a former world record holder.

Kinda surprising he would leave his alma mater.

edit - just read the story about him losing his son and wanting a fresh start.  I forgot about that.

do my own research

Flo needs to find a way to keep Pete Watson at all costs. 

Watson is turning Texas into a top 10 distance program with almost no scholarship money being allocated to distance runners. I know Watson has been interviewed for a couple head coaching opportunities recently. He turned down Cal Poly.

They lost their top two sprinters on the women's side yesterday to the transfer portal. More are coming. 

Pat Henry is great coach and man but it's a full on mutiny over there right now.

Results from this weekend's Outdoor champs.  Shot Put U!

Michelle Carter also competed in her last champs.  Came in 8th. Heck of a career for her!

Also just figured out what the WCS means - World Championship Standard.  So Tripp will compete at the Worlds too!

Nubbe won the U20 national championship in discuss and the hammer. 

He has a great chance of producing points in two events at Texas. These are the type recruits that will win you national championships because of point scoring across multiple events. 

Kristine had a major groin injury at the outdoor championships so her collapse in the hept now makes sense. 

Some bad luck for Texas.
