Quotes Decathlon Champion Isaac Murphy, Texas Longhorns On winning the decathlon... “It feels really good as I came out here and did what I came to do. I just wanted to be solid in my performances and gain points for the team. I struggled at the beginning of today but was able to be consistent and come away with the win.” Men’s Long Jump Champion , Texas Longhorns On posting the winning jump right away... “I popped off my longest jump of the competition on the first jump. That was big for me because I had to run over and run the 100 me- ters in between jumps. I knew everybody was going to come out and do well, but that jump ended up winning it so it was all good.”

Men’s Shot Put Champion Jacob Thormaehlen, Texas Longhorns On his thoughts entering shot put after a poor hammer throw... “I knew I had to do something because I was disappointed in my hammer performance. The shot is my specialty so I was confident. I just had to stay calm and having our throwing group rooting for each other helps us all out.”

Women’s Pole Vault Champion Natasha Masterson, Texas Longhorns On winning and scoring points for the team... “I expected to do great today but I didn’t think it would be like this. I wanted to jump really high today but winning is what makes me happy. All I have wanted to do is contribute to the team and help Texas do well. I feel like I did that today.”

Women’s Pole Vault Champion Natasha Masterson, Texas Longhorns On her series of throws... “It was a pretty good series. [All of my throws] were for the most part over 18.00 meters, so I can’t be too sad about that. It was a good meet overall.”

On winning a Big 12 title… “It means a lot to me. We have a really tough conference so to be able to win a conference championship is very exciting.”

Men’s 10,000 Meters Champion (Friday night) George Alex, Oklahoma Sooners On his goals entering the race... "I've always heard that you want to write your goals in stone and everything else in sand. I think for all of us that was the entire 10,000- meter race. We had different expectations going into with regards to our race strategy, and we knew right from the gun we were going to have to adapt. It ended up working for the best."
