Texas A&M men’s track wins national title, women finish top 3

Texas A&M men’s track and field took home an NCAA title for the fifth time in program history.

The Aggies tied with Southern California, each finishing with 41 points and capturing a share of the national championship. This is the first time there have been co-champions since 2013 (Texas A&M was also part of that honor, tying with Florida).

The victory marks the Aggies men’s fifth outdoor title and head coach Pat Henry’s 10th national title —including men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor — with A&M. A&M had a pair of individual national champions and two runner-up finishes to highlight the weekend in Eugene, Ore.

The meet came down to the 4×400 meter relay, with USC in the lead with 40 points. Entering the race, only the Trojans, Aggies and Razorbacks were in striking distance for the title. USC scored one point while A&M scored eight to secure the shared victory. 

Entering the final relay, A&M sat in fourth place in the team standings. Title hopes rested on the performance of men’s 4x400m quartet of Hossam Eddine Hatib, Cutler Zamzow, Kimar Farquharson and Auhmad Robinson. Hatib set the pace for the Aggies before handing the baton to Zamzow, who led at the break. Another strong leg had Farquharson right in the mix at the three-quarters mark, with Robinson left to run. Robinson battled down the stretch and secured a second-place finish in the event with a season-best time of 3 minutes, 0.73 seconds, capturing the eight points needed to deliver the title.

Sam Whitmarsh drove the Aggies up the team standings when he won the men’s 800m crown with a 1:45.86 finish. On the opening day of the meet, Aleksandr Solovev contributed 10 points to the men’s total with title in the pole vault. The duo of Ja’Qualon Scott and Bryce McCray added 11 points to the team tally following a pair of personal-best performances in the 400m hurdles. Scott broke the school record in the event to claim a runner-up finish with a time of 48.29 and McCray came in sixth (49.52).

USC was the first team to sweep the indoor and outdoor titles since 2015.

A&M women’s track and field captures top 3 finish

The Texas A&M women’s track & field team secured a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships Saturday evening at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Junior Winny Bii captured A&M’s first national title in the women’s triple jump. After leaping 13.96 meters on her first attempt to capture the lead, she landed at the top of the podium for the win. The women’s 4x100m relay quartet of Jasmine Harmon, Camryn Dickson, Bria Bullard and Jasmine Montgomery took third in the event with a season-best time of 42.89 seconds. Junior Jaiya Covington finished second (12.93) in the 400m hurdles, capturing eight points for the Aggies.

The final meet capped off the 2024-2025 track and field season. Cross country will resume in the fall, and track and field will return in January 2026.
