WYLIE, Texas – Texas A&M track & field head coach Pat Henry will be inducted into the Texas Track & Field Coaches Association (TTFCA) Hall of Fame, on Jan. 7 at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, as a member of the class of 2022.
Â
"I'm honored to be inducted into the Texas Track & Field Coaches Association Hall of Fame," said Henry. "I had some great years at Blinn College, winning a couple of national titles, and I have loved my time here at Texas A&M. This is a prestigious group and I am truly honored."
Â
Entering his 18th season at Texas A&M, Henry has amassed a combined nine NCAA national team titles between the men's and women's programs. Henry led the Texas A&M Track & Field program to a three-peat sweep between 2009-11 as the Aggies became the first school in NCAA history to achieve a "triple-double" by winning the men's and women's outdoor titles in three consecutive seasons.
Â
During his time in Aggieland, his athletes have won 62 NCAA event titles and most notably Texas A&M has had an individual or relay claim an NCAA title each season. Along with winning titles, Texas A&M has broken 22 all-time collegiate records, including the indoor men's 4x400m on three occasions and the indoor and outdoor women's 4x400m once.
Â
Henry first coached in the Lone Star State at Blinn College in Brenham from 1984-87 where he produced a pair of national titles on the NJCAA level.
Â
By achieving the most NCAA championships by a head coach for indoor and outdoor track and field, Henry is currently the active leader and third among coaches all-time in any sport for national team titles at 36.
Â
The induction marks the fifth Hall of Fame for Henry. Most recently he was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in August. Henry is also a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame (2017), U.S. Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame (2004), New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame (1998) and NJCAA Coaches Association Hall of Fame (1991).
