Not sure what you’re speaking of, Tech has won Big 12 titles in Track & Field.

You sure seem to spend a lot of time on the Tech message boards. Can you say “obsessed”?

Wreck ‘em!

Looks like the aggy fans are here again trying to convince us that they’re still relevant!

Looks like the track team took a page from the original actors on “Saturday Night Live”; “not ready for prime time players”!!!!

Old Man, Harrison throws the shot, so it probably wasn’t based on time:)

He was 4th in the Nation in distance tho’.

But, if this is true, then Omo should receive All-American status as well…….he had the Second fastest time in the nation in his hurdles event.!! (the stupid rule that kept him going to nationals on the false start at Regionals could the reasoning behind that)

The NCAA is so screwed up in some ways, no doubt.

Harrison as probably awarded AA based on time in the event this year. In many timed events this is what it is based on.

CONGRATULATIONS to D’Andra Carter on a great meet and a great career. We are truly proud to have you representing Texas Tech. Best wishes on a continuing successful career.

Congratulations to DeDe!!! That was her goal when she came here 4 years ago, and it was amazing to watch her progression through the years.
At the same time, we have to be disappointed for Patience, who had done extremely well up (and far exceeded expectations) until just after the Big 12 meet. I certainly hope her health is okay. That is my biggest concern for her.

But, I have a question—how do you get AA status when you don’t make the finals as Harrison did? Certainly, I am glad he got it, I just didn’t think it was possible.
