The Texas A&M men’s and women’s track and field teams opened the 2019-20 indoor season by tallying 10 victories at the 2019 Reveille Invitational on Saturday at the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.

 

HEAD COACH PAT HENRY SAID:

“Today was about getting on the runway, or the ring, or the track, and just evaluating yourself. ‘Let’s see where we are after 14 weeks of training.’ We got to see some other people in competition today, so that makes it a positive day. I saw some really good things happen today.

 

“We look at the season as a ladder. This is the first step on the ladder. We took a step and we’ll try to get to step two the next time we get on the track.

 

“We just talked about self-evaluation and this should help you going into the (holiday) break. Whether you had a good day or a bad day, it should help you going into the break because you know where you are.”
