COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M has reached an agreement in principle with Head Women's Golf Coach Trelle McCombs on a new contract extension, Director of Athletics Scott Woodward announced. The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents authorized University President Michael K. Young to negotiate and execute McCombs's contract at its meeting Thursday.
Â
"Coach McCombs has done a tremendous job with the women's golf program, achieving success both on and off the course," said Woodward. "This extension is well-deserved, as she has led Texas A&M to become one of the top programs in the toughest conference in the country and a perennial participant in the NCAA postseason."
Â
Texas A&M will extend McCombs' contract through the 2020-21 golf season.
"I am thrilled by the support that Scott Woodward and the entire Texas A&M administration has shown to me with this contract extension," said McCombs. "I am proud of everything that these young ladies have accomplished at Texas A&M already, and I look forward to leading this program for many years in the future."
McCombs has led the Aggies to six top 20 finishes at the NCAA Championships, and two conference titles, including the 2015 SEC crown. In her nine seasons at Texas A&M, she has eight players named All-Americans, and coached three individual conference champions.
Texas A&M has qualified for NCAA Regionals in each of her seasons as head coach, and advanced to the NCAA Championships six times. The Aggies have posted three Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in her tenure, led by a sixth-place finish in 2008, A&M's best national finish since 1982.
Â
Off the course, she has produced 27 Academic All-Big 12 and SEC Academic Honor Roll selections. She has had seven players selected as a WGCA All-American Scholars while at Texas A&M.
Before she was hired by Texas A&M in 2007, McCombs was already an accomplished head coach with successful stints at Tulsa (2006-07), Augusta State (2003-06) and Mercer (1999-03).
