SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Texas A&M Track & Field team travels a men's distance medley relay team to Notre Dame for its final regular-season meet of the indoor season Saturday at the Loftus Sports Center with the race starting at 11 a.m.
Â
Preparing for their final tune up prior to the conference championships, the Maroon & White send a strong squad to the home of the Irish to attain a top-12 nationally-ranked mark in the DMR. The team will compete versus a stacked field, with their sights set on punching their ticket to the NCAA Championships in Virginia.

Last Time Out
The Maroon & White impressed yet again at the Tiger Paw Invitational in Clemson, S.C. last weekend. Ja'Qualon Scott posted a time of 7.55 in the 60m hurdles that bested his own school record and secured him fifth place in the national ranks.
Â
Keeping the momentum on the track, Megan Roberts crossed the line in 9:19.87 in the 3,000m to record a new personal-best time and climb to No. 2 all-time in the A&M record books. Gilbert Rono also added a victory on the oval, finishing in 4:02.01 to move up to seventh on the all-time performers list.
Â
Shifting to the field, Aleksandr Solovev continued his dominance in the pole vault, clearing 5.65m/18-6.5 to add another win to his collection. In the women's triple jump, Winny Bii recorded a personal-best mark of 14.01m/45-11.75 to win the event, improving her mark at the No. 2 slot on the Aggie all-time list and break her own Kenyan national record.
Â
The men's 4x400m concluded the meet, as the group consisting of Auhmad Robinson, Hossam Eddine Hatib, Antonie Nortje and Cutler Zamzow put up a blazing time of 3:02.21 to win the event and improve their national lead in the event. The Aggie men now boast the top-two times in the 4x400m in the country.
