Texas A&M University has one of the largest university systems in the world- not to mention they have the fourth largest chain in the United States and #1 in the state of Texas. Also, taking center stage is the Aggies athletics program.  College Station is a wonderful college town in which student-athletes not only learn and receive a great education, but they have access to great weather, training facilities, and competition.

In this edition of Throwback Thursday, we go back to the summer and the Adidas Grand Prix. We gave Deanna Hill a flip cam and allowed her and her friends to document their adventures in New York City and the Dream 100 experience. Watch the top tracksters take over the Big Apple.

It has often been said that two heads are better than one. The 2013 track and field season definitely proved that fact as seniors Emmonnie Henderson (Edwardsville) and Aaliyah Brown (Frankfort Lincoln-Way East) totally dominated their competition and earned co-athletes of the year.

The off-season nowadays is hardly off-season. There are all kinds of post-season meets to attend and watch.  For instance, one can choose a variety of smorgasbord venues: Junior Nationals, Senior Nationals, USATF Junior Olympics, World Youth trials, AAU track and field series… the list goes on and on throughout the summer.  Here is my personal bird’s eye take on key performances.

The future Texas A&M Aggie has had a wonderful season in which she helped her anchored her relay mates in all-time record form.   The 4x100r cranked 46.10 to place fourth in the Penn Relays Championship of the America; the 4x200r rocked the IL state meet in 1:36.86.

The high school track and field season is just heating up, but we thought we'd have a little fun. We know everyone loves some rankings. We decided to break it down by class and see who the leaders in each event were. Want to know who the one to beat is and where you stack up? Take a look. (Rankings are as of 3/7/2013)
