Inducted in the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009, Bashir Ramzy finished his illustrious collegiate career as one of the most decorated student-athletes in school history.
Ramzy was the high-point scorer at the 2000 and 2001 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships and earned Big 12 Performer of the Year in 2000 and 2001.
For his career, Ramzy won five Big 12 Championships with titles in the 110m hurdles (twice), triple jump (once indoors and once outdoors) and with the 400m relay. He also earned All-America honors five times.
He scored 24.5 points at the 2001 Big 12 Outdoor Championships to lead the Aggie men to the team victory on their home track stadium, the Frank G. Anderson Track & Field Complex.
At the conclusion of his Texas A&M career, the versatile Ramzy ranked among the top 10 performers in school history in the 60m hurdles, 110m hurdles and the indoor and outdoor long jump and triple jump, as well as the 400m and 1,600m relays.
Since Graduating:
"I moved to San Diego to train at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Center (formerly the Olympic Training Center), where I now coach international and domestic Olympic and Paralympic track and field athletes ...... no kids or wife but I get to travel the world and meet amazing people and cultures which keeps me happy."
What do you miss the most about Aggieland?
"Probably Cain Hall for a combination of the food (T-bone steak and chicken drummies day were so appreciated!), camaraderie with all the other athletes in different sports, looking out my corner window on football game days and seeing the massive crowds, and daily gatherings at counselors' offices, study hour and computer labs.

What is your favorite memory from your days as a Texas A&M student-athlete?
"Winning the Big 12 Championship my senior as a team (we broke the conference record for margin of victory) in our backyard. To win individual titles were nice but to see the excitement of everyone as a shared experience was better, especially when the rings came."
Message to the 12th Man:
"My Aggie pride runs deep still and I love acknowledging Aggies I don't know but see in passing here in California..... I miss Texas at times but love seeing the growth of Texas A&M Athletics and still keep in contact with all the Aggies I attended college with through social media (b_ramzy on IG)."
