LUBBOCK, Texas – The Aggies' men's and women's track & field teams won six events and registered three Texas A&M all-time top-12 marks to complete day one of the Texas Tech Open Friday night at the Sports Performance Center.
Texas A&M claimed event titles in the women's long jump and women's 60m hurdles, as well as winning the men's and women's 400m and 600m. Brandon Miller and Bailey Goggans combined to sweep the 600m. Goggans won the women's race at 1:31.04, followed by Miller winning the men's race at 1:15.94. Miller's time ranks as the 13th fastest in collegiate history, making him the only male to have two marks on the all-time collegiate top-15 list. The sophomore holds a personal best time at 1:15.49, which ranks sixth fastest. His time also ranks No. 3 on the Aggie all-time list.
Syaira Richardson and Chevannie Hanson combined to sweep the 400m. Richardson won heat one of the women's race at 52.67, which held up over thirteen heats as the fastest overall time. Hanson followed suit winning the first heat of the men's race at 46.51, which survived as the fastest overall after 14 heats.
Deborah Acquah claimed the women's long jump with a leap of 21-7.5/6.59m. In all six of her attempts she jumped over 20'9", including four jumps over 21'0". Kaylah Robinson won the women's 60m hurdles at a time of 8.17, just .01 off her personal best. Robinson ran 8.38 in the first round, followed by a semi-final time of 8.26.
Heather Abadie (pole vault) and Deshae Wise (60m hurdles) each finished the day with marks on the Aggie all-time top-12 performer list. Abadie cleared a collegiate personal best height of 13-10/4.22m. Already the No. 3 performer in school history, Abadie improved her spot by 1.5 inches. The freshman now owns three of the top-12 performances all-time in Aggie history. Wise became the ninth best performer in the 60m hurdles after clocking 8.27 in the semi-finals before ending the night with a second place finish in the finals at 8.30.
Other notable performances include Allyson Andress (long jump), Connor Gregston (pole vault), Ryan Martin (60m) and Sydnee Stewart (60m) each recording personal bests in their respective events. Most notably, Stewart registered personal best in each round before finishing fourth in the 60m finals at 7.42. She clocked 7.51 in the first round and 7.48 in the semi-finals. In total, she shaved .12 seconds off her original personal best time of 7.54. Martin set a personal best in the men's 60m semi-finals at 6.73, before matching it in the finals to place fifth.

Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Pat Henry
on the short sprinters and 400m groups…
"Sydnee [Stewart] got a little bit better each time she ran and so did Ryan [Martin]. Our women's hurdlers did a good job today. Syaira [Richardson] looked really good tonight and 52.67 is a really good run for her. She is talented and she is going to get better and better. On the men's side, running 46's now is good and we had a 47.02."
on the pole vault group…
"Heather [Abadie] looked excellent today. There are certain barriers, you gotta break barriers and when you break the barrier you wonder why that was even a barrier. She is there with 14-foot right now. She's got to get over 14-foot and then she'll be over that forever. I think the men's vaulters did a good job, they're getting a little bit better and in fact they're getting quite a bit better. It was a good day all the way around."
