CLEMSON, SC. – The Texas A&M men's and women's track & field teams split travel to compete at the Tiger Paw Invitational in Clemson, the David Hemery Valentine Invitational in Boston and the Howie Ryan Invitational in Houston on Feb 10-11.

Tiger Paw Invitational
The Aggies travel a group of sprinters, jumpers and distance runners to Clemson to take on a nationally ranked field including Clemson, Auburn, Baylor, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State, NC State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and USC. Headlining the Aggies is the women's high jump duo of Lamara Distin and Bára Sajdoková. Distin is coming off back-to-back SEC Women's Field Athlete of the Week performances, most recently clearing 6-4.5/1.94m at the New Mexico Collegiate Classic to claim the national lead and school record. At the same meet, Sajdoková leapt over the bar set at 6-1.5/1.87m, to become the third-best high jumper in Texas A&M history and tied the third-best mark in the country this year. Other Aggies in the top-16 rankings include Jermaisha Arnold (400m), G'Auna Edwards (long jump, pentathlon) and the men's and women's 4x400m teams.
