MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ca. – Final men's dual meet rankings for the indoor season by Track & Field News magazine have the Texas A&M Aggies maintaining the number one position they attained after winning the quadrangular meet they hosted in January.
Â
The top five teams in the final indoor dual meet rankings included Texas A&M followed by Indiana, Nebraska, Akron and Minnesota. The next five schools in the rankings included LSU, Wisconsin, Air Force, Princeton and Oklahoma.
Â
Since the first year of competition in the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium in 2009 the Aggie men have not been beaten in either a dual, triangular or quadrangular meet they have hosted. Texas A&M has one dual meet scheduled during the 2016 outdoor season against UCLA when they visit historic Drake Stadium in April.
Â
Three indoor dual meet men's records were set this season and a pair of them involved Texas A&M. Aggie senior Hector Hernandez broke the 800m record with a 1:48.35 performance during the A&M's team win over Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Arizona State in January. In the December Reveille meet, TCU's Ronnie Baker set the 60m dual record with a 6.61 clocking.
Â
Other indoor dual meet records held by Aggies include Deon Lendore with a 45.74 in the 400m from 2014, Joe Savageau with a 14:19.54 in the 5,000m from 2010 and A&M's 4x400 relay time of 3:05.43 from 2014. Another record set in Gilliam during a dual meet format includes a 20.79 in the 200m by Aaron Ernest of LSU in 2013.
Â
The next competition this indoor season for Texas A&M will be the SEC Championships held February 26-27, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
