The Competition
Texas A&M welcomes all 14 members of the Southeastern Conference. Between both the men's and women's top-25 national rankings, a total of 16 teams rank amongst the poll. The Aggies sit No. 5 in the women's poll and No. 13 on the men's poll. A dozen NCAA season leading marks have been posted by an SEC institution, six on each the men's and women's sides. Arkansas is the returning champion in the women's competition and will try for its sixth consecutive title, while Florida will look to defend its 2019 Indoor title and try to repeat as an institution for the first time since winning back-to-back titles in 1987 and 1988.
Defend What's Yours
Devin Dixon, an 800m specialist, has gone 10-0 in SEC 800m Championship races since claiming his first event title at the 2017 SEC Outdoor Championships. The Georgia native enters the meet with the second fastest 800m time of 1:47.88, trailing only his teammate Carlton Orange (1:47.62). Dixon's mark is 17th fastest in the NCAA.
Miss Do It All
It's no secret that Tyra Gittens can do it all. Having posted a season best score of 4,276 points, the three-time All-American enters the meet as the top pentathlete of the conference. The junior also ranks third in high jump (1.84m/6-0.5) and fourth in long jump (6.42m/21-0.75).
