Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Texas A&M wins last event to claim men’s track title: Legendary college track coach Pat Henry and his Texas A&M Aggies swept the men’s and women’s team titles for the second year in a row on June 12 at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field. Henry now has 19 outdoor team titles, and his latest two were masterfully executed. The Texas A&M men won the fi nal event on the track, the 1,600-meter relay, to edge Florida by a single point, 55-54. The Gators fi nished third in the relay and were .21 seconds behind second-place Mississippi State. But even after that race was over, it took the offi cial results of the long jump to sort out the overall winner. “It’s about team eff orts, ups and downs, and it’s about responding to ups and downs,” Henry said. “All year long, this has been a unique group of guys and women.” For the Texas A&M men, the title seemed like it might have been lost with a botched handoff between Tran Howell and Gerald Phiri in the fi rst exchange of the 400-meter relay. Florida, with Jeff Demps on the anchor leg, got the win in 39.04 seconds, while the Aggies took a zero. That result put the Gators in front by two points, 38-36. Curtis Mitchell and Phiri placed second and eighth, respectively, in the 200 meters to score a total of nine points for the Aggies. And the 1,600-meter relay win lifted the team to the title. “It’s my fi rst time to get this championship so I am really excited,” said Demetrius Pinder, who ran the second leg on the winning relay. “It’s not a one-man thing - we all have worked hard to get this title.” In the long jump, which wrapped up about the same time as the fi nal relay, Florida’s Christian Taylor was fourth. Taylor also ran on the 1,600-meter relay for the Gators. Texas A&M had a pair of jumpers in the fi eld, but neither of them scored. Henry has coached 14 championship teams in the 28 years the event has existed for women. It was his fi fth men’s victory. Fifteen of his 19 team championships came during his tenure at LSU (1987-2004). Henry is the only coach to sweep the men’s and women’s titles in the same year and he has now done it four times (1989 and 1990 at LSU; 2009 and 2010 at Texas A&M). 2010 TEAM STANDINGS 21.
